Reality Fracture is here and the deck-testing has already begun, while over in the Pokémon corner a new TCG Pocket premium pack drops this weekend with guaranteed ex cards.
Magic: The Gathering
Reality Fracture is getting the full review treatment. Goonhammer kicked off a four-part deep dive starting with the set’s mechanics, which is the piece to read if you want to understand how the set plays before you crack packs. MTGGoldfish also ran the Echoverse precon head-to-head in a full precon mirror match — handy if you’re deciding which of the new decks to grab first.
On the premium side, the Reality Fracture Secret Lair Bundle brings the loud, splashy art styles the line is known for. Draftsim breaks down what’s inside and whether it’s worth tracking down before you commit.
Eternal Weekend is on the horizon, and Joe Dyer put together five Vintage decks worth considering for the big event. If you’re brewing for the format’s marquee weekend, it’s a solid starting point.
And yes — the Star Trek crossover is real and taking shape. Draftsim has an early look at the set’s cards, mechanics, and structure for the Trek faithful who’ve waited a long time for this one.
Pokémon TCG
TCG Pocket’s Deluxe Pack: Mega launches September 29 with a nice guarantee — every pack includes Pokémon ex cards. The details on the new premium product are in the launch announcement, so mark your calendar if you’re chasing the set.
Speaking of chasing, the top pulls are shaping up to be full-art Copycat and Elesa as the pack’s marquee cards. Trainer-card collectors, those are the ones to watch.
Crack a pack, test a precon, and we’ll see you tomorrow.
