Every gamer has different needs when it comes to sleeves. Some people want a tough, long-lasting sleeve that will stand up to abuse, while some are most concerned about how easily they shuffle. Our new Iridian Card Sleeves meet all these requirement and more at a competitive price.
The Pokemon Raid format is an asymmetrical, cooperative game where a team of players work together to defeat a powerful Raid Boss, represented by an oversized Pokemon card or a V-UNION. While the basic rules apply, there are a number of differences, such as players taking turns simultaneously, the group getting a collective number of Supporter cards that can be played each turn, and players taking their own prize cards as their Pokemon are knocked out. For more information, see the Pokemon TCG Alterative Play Handbook on the Pokemon website.
Alakazam ex from the Scarlet and Violet 151 set does something no other card in the Pokemon TCG has ever done before: It can attack from the bench. While it only does 120 damage with the Dimensional Hand attack, it can do so with much more protection than other attackers. When paired with Pokemon with powerful defensive abilities, it becomes very difficult to deal with.
Stall and control decks are nothing new to Pokemon, especially with Block Snorlax still seeing play. The release of 151 gave a few tools for a version that actually wins by taking prizes. You can find a copy of the deck list on pokemoncard.io. Let’s go over the basics of the deck.
The Pokemon TCG, if you will excuse the pun, evolved over the years. What was once a top-tier, tournament winning deck is now easily swept aside. Part of this is due to power creep, but most is simply due to there being more options. There are two ways to handle this: continually tinker with your deck to make sure it remains viable, or make whatever you want because it sounds fun. I opted to do the latter.
Pokémon has a thriving fan base that loves collecting related products, and cards are no exception. While most are standard size, either in the ccg or normal trading cards, the promotional jumbo cards have fans as well. These are normally included in themed box sets. Usually, they are identical to a card in the box, only much larger.

Pokémon TCG has cemented itself as a staple in the realm of collectible card games. Every year, new collectors and players discover this fun game and its myriad of rarities and printings. Regardless of your motivation for collecting Pokémon cards, eventually you’ve got to figure out how you’re going to store them all.
If you have a large collection of sports or gaming cards, you likely have card boxes on shelves. The IKEA-style shelves (pictured below), or wire rack shelves (pictured further below) are effective solutions for card box storage. So what card boxes are best for your card collection on your shelves? There are a few things to consider before you buy card boxes or shelves. Will your cards be stored loose, in toploaders, in magnetics, or other card holders? Will you have any graded cards? How many cards are in your collection? Whatever the answer to these questions, BCW has card boxes to solve your storage needs.
Before you get your card boxes, you might have questions about how the boxes will fit on your shelves. To demonstrate how your boxes will look on IKEA or wire rack shelves, we provided examples below. The wire shelves we used are 36″ wide by 16″ deep.
BCW offers small card boxes too, which are not pictured below. You can find all of our card boxes here.
The 6 Drawer Card Catalog is designed to fit in IEKA shelving, but also locks together with other units to create a modular system. Using the Catalog with a Kallax lets you find cards easily, as you don’t have to physically maneuver boxes. This makes it a perfect setup for someone with a large collection they access regularly.
