Aincrad Arc

Thousands of players that logged into the Floating Castle Aincrad for an evening of exploration and fun were instead thrown into a death game by none other than Heathcliff, the creator of “Sword Art Online”. With their lives on the line, players began their arduous climb towards the top of the Floating Castle Aincrad!

Crossing the hill of memories!

On that fateful day, a young girl’s life was saved by Kirito! Always Friendly, Silica embraces her newfound freedom with her best friend Pina. Carve your way to victory with her climax combo “Hill of Memories”! Returning cards from your opponent’s waiting room into their deck allows Silica to potentially squeeze in more damage and win you the game!

Like a Younger Sister, Silica improves the consistency of having Always Friendly, Silica to execute your combo as you transit into the late game! Having both copies of Like a Younger Sister, Silica on the stage ensures Always Friendly, Silica can always be returned from your waiting room to dish out the last bit of damage you need to win the game!

Crossing path with the blacksmith!

Her feelings were awakened during the brief journey they embarked on! With her Awakened Feelings, Mace User, Lisbeth is able to protect her friends or herself in a pinch! Maintain your hand advantage and conserve your combo pieces to dish out maximum damage in the late game!

Top Class Blacksmith, Lisbeth has the flexibility of being a stock refresher or powering up your stage to make the final push of damage! The Anniversary trait makes Lisbeth usable as a tech card in most decks!

The symbol of Innocence

Originally an Artificial Intelligence (AI) created by Argus to monitor the players’ mental health in SAO, her duties were cut short by the death game designed by Heathcliff!

Staying true to her purpose, Yui is always ready to lend you a helping hand! Being a level zero, Flower Crown of Happiness, Yui can be slotted into any deck to search out other Anniversary cards, making her extremely versatile!

Fairy Dance Arc

A long-awaited reunion was delayed when news broke out that Asuna was held captive in the world tree of ALfheim Online! Kirito once again dove into the virtual world to confront Heathcliff’s legacy!

Familial bonds!

The bonds between siblings transcend time and virtual reality! Wholeheartedly supporting her brother in his endeavors, Bond Between Siblings, Leafa descends onto the stage! Whether you’re looking to gain stock or search out the key cards you need, Leafa has got your back!

Leafa’s Pure Wish plays off Bond Between Siblings, Leafa, opening up an early play for more value! Aside from applying pressure with her chip damage, Leafa can power up her allies to overcome any difficult opponents!

Phantom Bullet Arc

This time, Kirito was thrown into a case related to the virtual world of Gun Gale Online. Cases of players’ in-game deaths resulting in their real world deaths surfaced for weeks. To put a stop to this, the VR Crimes Division has tasked Kirito to dive into the world of Gun Gale Online, and participate in the largest competition, Bullet of Bullets!

Re-ignite the gunfight of fate…!

Both Death Gun and Sinon make a reappearance in the Anniversary set to finish up the beef they had between them! Even without a climax combo, GGO’s Strongest Sniper, Sinon comes with a plethora of useful abilities to contest early-game boards! Effectively a level one with 6,000 power, Sinon is also able to search out other Anniversary characters from either the top deck or return them from the waiting room!

<Death Gun> Alongside Fear allows for a free top deck check with a nifty bonus of reducing a large chunk of your opponent’s fighting power! If all else fails, Death Gun is also able to return to your hand and live to fight another day!

Mother’s Rosario

With the revival of New Aincrad, a new generation of players started to make their mark in the game, one of which was even able to best the black swordsman in combat! Asuna decided to take on the famed player as well, but unbeknownst to her, this meeting would be one of the most memorable yet fleeting experiences!

A courageous soul till the very end!

And so, she named the original 11-hit skill;《Mother’s Rosario》! Mother’s Rosario! Yuuki’s skill as a swordsman rival even the greatest among the player base. Her climax combo “《Mother’s Rosario》” has the added flexibility to search out either Inherited Sword Technique or an Anniversary character depending on what you need! Execute your combo once again with Inherited Sword Technique for maximum search value!

Ordinal Scale

The advent of augmented reality has brought about a new way of experiencing virtual reality in the present. Kirito and his friends take on familiar bosses in Ordinal Scale, and while doing so, crossed paths with the number #2 player, Eiji. However, with each encounter, the survivors of Sword Art Online start to lose memories of their past.

Catch the moment with Yuna!

Her impish nature and desire to sing have won the hearts of many during the Ordinal Scale arc. Bewitching Smile, Yuna, and her climax combo Ephemeral Memories allow you to flood the field with copies of Yuna, creating an almost impenetrable wall until the next turn!

To make things easier, The Real Songstress, Yuna, is able to open up an early play at level two to bring out Bewitching Smile, Yuna, and dominate the stage!

Alicization

Kirito was offered a job at Rath to test the Full Dive machine in a specialized virtual world, called Underworld, but his memories of the testing would be blocked as a security measure. During this period, he lived in the world for nearly eleven years of accelerated time as a child, alongside a boy named Eugeo and a girl named Alice. Their peaceful time would come to an abrupt end when Alice accidentally broke a clause of the Taboo Index.

The Golden Integrity Knight

Surrounded by the yellow osmanthus, Alice readies her sword to fulfill her duty as an Integrity Knight. Longing Osmanthus, Alice is a valuable asset at any stage of the game as she searches out her allies with relative ease!

Queen and King of the Underworld!

The queen and king of the Underworld have descended on the stage of Weiẞ Schwarz! A Thousand-Year Journey, Asuna graces us with her presence as an early play with a stock heal!

The Power of Divine Authority, Kirito commands the final charge to victory! With his special Night-Sky Blade, multiple copies of Kirito on the field will dish out heaps of damage with each attack!

His sworn friend and brother in arms!

Even without physically being there, Eugeo will always live on in his memories! As long as “Stay Cool” Eugeo remains in the memory, he grants all The Power of Divine Authority, Kirito with soul reduction, allowing you to stay in the heat of battle long enough to mount a comeback!

“Stay Cool” Eugeo can also be used tactically to bounce his allies back to either protect them or reuse their effects again!

The best informant in town!
