October 29 update: official TCG launch details

Konami’s English product page now confirms an Official Tournament Store launch on March 17, 2027, followed by the general launch and tournament-legal date on March 19. The listed US MSRP is $4.49 per pack.

The official page also advertises 153 cards, while its itemized rarity counts total 152. That discrepancy still awaits clarification. Names and contents remain subject to change.

New artwork accompanies promotional card summaries; complete card frames and exact rules text remain pending for our structured card reports.
