Hey TCG fans, and welcome to the inaugural news roundup! Twice a month, we bring you a condensed form of the biggest news across the TCG universe.
This post will always be split into two parts – first, the hottest news from the last 2 weeks, and second, an ongoing release calendar of upcoming and current product releases for active TCGs.
Did we miss an important piece of news or don’t have an upcoming product listed? Let us know!

- Grand Archive TCG successfully funded on January 1st, 2022, making $947,400, nearly 1900% of their campaign goal. First product release – Set 1 Starter Decks – are slated for Q2, 2022.
- Nostalgix TCG also successfully funded on January 1st, 2022, hitting $935,530, or almost 940% of their goal. The team is aiming to get product into backers hands by June 2022.
- My Hero Academia CCG: On January 5th, Jasco unveiled that they are supporting a $250,000 cash prize pool at the top level of their robust 2022 Organized Play plans. This will be doled out to the finalists of their Hero League Championship invitational tournament to be held in Las Vegas. To earn an invite, players can perform well in Nationals, a Last Chance Qualifier, or be select as an MVP player for their “integrity, sportsmanship, and consistent performance” throughout the year.
- Yu-Gi-Oh: Konami made a difficult decision to cancel the first in-person YCS event since the pandemic began, due to, well, the pandemic still continuing. The decision was announced just a week before the event following updated safety guidelines from LA County which strongly discouraged large public gatherings.
- Flesh and Blood has begun teasing cards for their next expansion, Everfest, though full spoiler season is not set to begin until January 24th. Notably, Everfest features sustainable Paper Wrappers that LSS intends to bring to all their products over time. A scheduled banned and restricted update has also been released, nerfing the popular hero Briar.
- Digimon TCG has begun their spoilers for their next expansion, BT07 -Next Adventure-, which is set to release in March now, after announcing some unfortunate logistical delays. More previews can be found on their Facebook page. On January 14th, a banned and restricted list update was also announced, including a ban on Mega Digimon Fusion!, reining in decks that relied on it for a free digivolve into a finisher.
- Dragon Ball Super Card Game likewise announced a one week delay to their next booster, -REALM OF THE GODS-, now set to release on March 11. As of writing, they are nearing completion of their spoiler season, and the previewed cards can be found on their Facebook page.
- Magic the Gathering’s Gavin Verhey announced on January 10th that a Pauper Format Panel was being formed as a collaboration between WotC and the Pauper community, which could lead the way to more tournament viability for the rarity-restricted format.
- MetaZoo teased with a January 11th tweet that their Summer 2022 set, UFO, will include codes to redeem for digital cards, much like Pokemon does for PTCGO. No further details have been announced as of yet.
- Magic the Gathering Arena’s digital-only format Alchemy is getting its first of the stated “frequent” balance updates following the upcoming Qualifier weekend, so likely between January 24-28. These updates can change both Alchemy cards and adjust the Alchemy-only version of regular cards from the Standard format, with the intention of keeping Alchemy much more fresh than Standard in the fast-moving digital gameplay environment.
