  • Obsidian? Pearl? No, Pokemon is tomorrow

    Obsidian? Pearl? No, Pokemon is tomorrow

    Obsidians and pearls have been debuted. It’s pretty difficult to get the feel of these cards across through a screen. The digital screen shots of the art are very white or very black, and can’t shot you the foil process these cards went through. So in this article, I’ll do my best to convey what…

  • New Keyword: BLITZ

    New Keyword: BLITZ

    Today, UVS Games is unveiling a new keyword that’s going to be a HUGE part of Attack on Titan: Battle for Humanity… BLITZ First off, what is Blitz? And why is it on my cards? Well, Blitz is like a half Response, half Enhance. They are triggered once you’ve entered your Enhance Step, similar to…

  • Attuned Symbols

    Attuned Symbols

    TL;DR If the symbol on a card is a square, that symbol is “Attuned”. Attuned symbols allow players to add cards into any deck that has a character that has that symbol, even if the deck is built on another symbol. Symbols should have meaning. At the end of the day, playing a Death deck…

  • Star Trek: Lower Decks in UVS!

    Star Trek: Lower Decks in UVS!

    Earlier this week, UVS Games announced Star Trek: Lower Decks will be coming to Universus in 4 different Challenger Series decks. Honestly, I’d never heard of Lower Decks before and I’m not much of a Treky. I hope I spelled that right. So, I did a little research. Star Trek: Lower Decks is one of…

  • Draft another day

    Draft another day

  • B&E – February

    B&E – February

    No updates to the Bans & Errata list for this month. Not surprising. With Yu Yu Hakusho 2 weeks out, the most powerful set over the last 2 years being rotated out, and the influx of the Challenger Series cards, the format is completely up in the air. A good number of the candidates for…

    The Dark Tournament Chrome & XSR Pics from Orlando

    Yu Yu Hakusho is mere weeks away, and we’ve been dying to get hands-on images of the most valuable cards in the set. This past weekend at the HLC, we got our chance. I spent a while with the Chrome Rares, changing the lighting and angles for each card. These Chromes are much more polished…

  • Banned & Errata – December

    Banned & Errata – December

    In their new Duotone treatment, Capture Evil-Doers and Back Alley Haymaker are the newest additions to the Banned List. Notes from UVSGames: BACK ALLEY HAYMAKERFirst, let’s address Back Alley Haymaker. That is going to require a little zooming out. Typically when measuring card usage, foundations dominate the top few slots. This makes sense, foundations normally…
