Most promos these days have artwork that looks like it could just go in a set, as they often do in English. I like this card because the artwork gives off promo vibes. It feels like a promo card.

Hoping for a Japanese or English release.

My guess is maybe the Japanese variant will come in the worlds deck tin they showed in that livestream. Hopefully a playset?

Turns out it’s not in there either

I’m seeing these cards pop up on eBay if people want to snatch them up.

When does the ENG copy release? Wiki says it’s out already but I can’t see anyone posting about it.

The 2022-2023 PTCG Asia Championship Series period is September 1, 2022 - August 31, 2023 so 2023-2024 should start after

Does anyone have any information on the English release date yet? I’m surprised there have been no listings for it. The Japanese version has been listed on eBay for weeks even though it’s only just coming out. The English version is such a mystery.
