Elestrals is a TCG newcomer by aDrive, best known for his Pokemon content on YouTube! This TCG features Gods and Titans from Mythology and brings them to TCG form with all their might. Recently, Elestrals' 5th set Firestorm landed on the Total Cards shelves and was gone as quick as it arrived. Now, we're gearing up for Lifestream - the brand new release featuring some all-important changes regarding the TCG. Let's get into it.
Lifestream is releasing later this year, and though it has no official date, we do have some news to report for this set. Firstly, Lifestream will be themed around all things nature, drawing from the raw vitality of Earth and ever-shifting currents of Water.
The first card revealed from Lifestream is Hopperoo, an Elestral who has a 3 Attack/4 Defence.
When this Hopperoo deals damage, you can Foretell 3 and add an
card Foretold this way to your hand. While this Hopperoo is Enchanted with exactly 1 Spirit it can attack opponents' Spirit Decks directly.
Essentially, this card utilises the mechanic Foretell which was introduced last year. This mechanic allows you to look at the top X cards from your main deck, and complete the action if the requirements are met. So, for Hopperoo, you'd take the top 3 cards from your deck and show them to your opponents (to prevent cheating). Then, if you pulled an Earth card, you can put that directly into your hand. Then the action resolves. If you don't have an Earth card, you put those cards at the bottom of your deck and the action resolves.
Whilst there have been no other card reveals currently, there is something very important that needs addressing. With the tariff situation in the United States, production has moved to the USA to combat this. With that in mind, there are also some changes to products:
- Booster Boxes will contain 24 packs, not 36. They will remain at $129.99 MSRP
-
Booster Packs will also change, with the previous point in mind.
- One Common card in every pack will be replaced with a Reverse Holo
- Holo Spirit cards will be moved to the Reverse Holo slot within a pack
- Full Arts will have an increased pull rate, with the possibility of finding x2 Full Arts within 1 Booster Box
- Reverse Stellars will have an increased pull rate compared to previous sets
- Divine Champions: Lifestream will introduce Textured Foils
-
Starter Decks will return to 4 single products, rather than the double deck bundles.
- Each Starter Deck will contain a Deck, 3 Booster Packs, and a double-sided Poster/Playmat
- The new Starter Deck will also be reusable as Deck Boxes, as they will contain a closing flap/seal
- MSRP will be $24.99
-
Blister Packs will no longer feature a plastic window
- The window will be replaced with a sleeve pack
- 2x Booster Packs will be included in each Blister Pack alongside the allocated Stellar Promo card
- MSRP will be $11.99
So there are quite a few changes to keep in mind when deciding on picking up the new set. Whilst you do lose some packs, aDrive has been very careful as to update the pack contents to make that MSRP worth it - especially with the introduction of Textured Foils.
