Participants all receive a Sakamoto Days Action Point promotional card, while the winner receives a Winner foil stamped version!

Entry is $30. Players must register ahead of time on Bandai TCG+. Our event is here!

What do I need to know for Deckbuilding?

Because of the nature of sealed events, decks can contain more than four cards with the same card number. It can also contain more than four of each of the Special, Color, and Final trigger types. 5 booster packs contribute to creating as close to a 60 card deck as possible. A deck needs 3 Action Point cards, Raids can be performed using cards with two different colors, and five Special triggers can be in a deck. Bring your own sleeves from home or purchase some before the event!

What is Union Arena?

UNION ARENA is a “Common Rules Trading Card Game”, which means players only need to learn 1 set of rules to play this card game using characters from series they love. In UNION ARENA you can find many popular characters from various series on the cards! Make a deck with characters from your favorite series and enjoy battles that even cross series! For more information on how to play Union Arena, check here!

Glimmers of the Parr family from The Incredibles are ready to speed, stretch, and fight their way into the realm. They’ve faced supervillains, but how you cleverly deploy their unique powers will be the difference between saving the day and defeat.
