Card Games Asia WIXOSS trial deck


Back when WIXOSS was just starting, Takara Tomy decided to promote the game here in Singapore through Card Games Asia 2015. They gave out a demo deck of either a Tama or Hanayo deck in the goodie bag for joining the event.

The contents of the demo deck
Although I call it a demo deck, the deck list is exactly the same as a normal trial deck WXD-01 White Hope and WXD-02 Red Ambition. The cards however have a Card Games Asia logo on it, the event which these decks are specifically made for.

Close up and the card. Everything except the logo and set number is the same.

Interestingly this is one of the 2 instances Takara Tomy tried to promote the game in English, the other time being the Memo type App. Unfortunately, Card Games Asia didn't return anymore, so there wasn't any big Card Game convention where they could really promote the game easily.

Nonetheless it was cool to see how they tried to promote WIXOSS here, which turned out to be reasonably successful. Maybe one day they will try the international market?
