District Noir by Pandasaurus Games Coming Soon

Image
Pandasaurus has announced a new 2 player set collection game District Noir is coming this summer. Preorders will start on May 19th with retail release planned for July 19th. District Noir was originally published in Japanese by Taikikennai Games in 2016 as Throne and Grail. It was then published in 2019 as Chocolate Factory by Nasza Księgarnia in Polish. The current art and theme was published last year in French by Spiral Éditions. When the time is right, gain control! At the head of the city’s largest criminal organizations, men and women fight to control territories and gain support by trying every means possible to grow their influence. Control of the District Noir, a central and highly contested area, remains the major issue that will make all the difference in dominating the city. There are two paths to victory: win over District Noir's various supports, or directly control the city’s three strategic locations. Before players can claim these, they must be played to the center

Pokémon TCG: Champions League 2021 Master Champion


The Champions League 2021 was hosted in Yokohama Japan on October 3rd (Sat) and 4th (Sun). The games from the qualifying to the final of the Master League were streamed on multiple platforms. The event had over 1500 players where the final match of the Masters League was between Takamatsugen's Lucmetal/Zacian V deck and Terada Kate's Baby Blowns deck.

Japan doesn't follow the same rotation schedule and therefore the below deck lists are not Standard legal but with a little modification may still be usable. One card in each deck is from Astonishing Volt Tackle (s4) and will not be available until Vivid Voltage is released. While Terada's deck was made available by the Japanese Pokémon Twitter account, I had to watch multiple gameplays for Takamatsugen's deck and may have a few cards wrong.

1st Place Baby Blowns Deck

Baby Blacephalon is one of the best Decks in TCG. Its ability to knockout any Pokémon with a single attack (with the necessary Energy) regardless of its amount of HP, makes it so popular.

The Deck also has the Talonflame V which will be released with Vivid Voltage in November. Its first  attack can be used on the first turn of the game, discarding your hand and drawing 6 new cards.

2nd Place Lucmetal/Zacian V Deck
