Minun has to be around here somewhere!

Spectators are glued to TVs showing marquee match-ups from the video game Masters Division competition.

Imagine sitting down and seeing Ash as your next opponent! That's gotta be intimidating!

The event hall is packed for the second day of competition, and players are starting to feel the pressure.

Double Colorless Energy is so useful for so many attacks—you'll see this card in virtually every deck.
