Pokémon card news and set guides
Pokémon is the biggest part of our Pokémon card news coverage. This year that means the Pokémon TCG’s 30th anniversary and the 30th Celebration set, plus every Mega Evolution expansion and the Scarlet & Violet sets collectors still hunt for. Each set guide explains what is in the set, which cards are the chase cards and which sealed product suits you best.
Browse every guide in the Pokémon section, or shop the 30th Celebration range and our Pokémon booster boxes.
One Piece TCG news
Our One Piece TCG news follows each booster set from its Japanese debut to the English release, with card list highlights, manga rares and the leaders players are excited about. Start with the beginner’s guide in the One Piece section, then compare English One Piece booster boxes with the Japanese boxes.
Riftbound news
Riftbound, the League of Legends trading card game, is one of the newest games on our shelves. Our Riftbound news covers how the game plays and what each set adds, from Origins onward. Read the guides in the Riftbound section and see the Riftbound booster boxes we carry.
Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh! guides
For Magic players we break down new sets, Commander precons and Universes Beyond releases such as Final Fantasy, Avatar: The Last Airbender and Marvel Super Heroes. Yu-Gi-Oh! fans will find guides to collector sets like Rarity Collection 5. See the Magic: The Gathering section, the Yu-Gi-Oh! section and our Magic products.
How we write our TCG news
- Checked facts: release dates, card counts and product contents come from official announcements, and we link to the source.
- Clear advice: we explain the difference between a booster box, an Elite Trainer Box and a collection so you can choose with confidence.
- Honest updates: publishers sometimes move release dates, so we update a guide when that happens.
TCG news FAQ
How often do you publish new guides?
We add new guides as sets are announced and released, and we refresh older guides when something changes.
Do you cover Japanese releases?
Yes. Many guides compare the English set with its Japanese version, and we stock Japanese booster boxes for collectors who want them.
Where can I buy the products in these guides?
Every product we mention links to its page in our trading card shop. If you have a question first, send us a message through the contact page.
