Which box did you get?

Everyone at a Build & Battle plays one of these four. Here's how each one wins.

Masquerain

Keep your Bugs in the deck: Bug Out hits harder every turn.

Magmortar

Buddy Boost loads Electivire, then Voltaic Hammer KOs anything.

Enamorus

All four Incarnates in play, then 1-Energy hits for 70 to 110.

Kommo-o

Rare Candy into Kommo-o, then 170 damage every turn.

Questions

Is the Delta Reign info accurate before the English release?

The cards came out in Japan first. Card text is translated from the Japanese release and checked against English previews, and each deck's tricky rules are hand-checked. Wording on your printed cards may differ slightly; the numbers won't.

Do I have to pay for prerelease prep?

No. Picking your box, ticking your pulls and building your 40 are free for everyone, as often as you like.

What rotates next?

Cards with the H regulation mark are expected to leave Standard in April 2027, going by every recent rotation. It hasn't been announced yet; the rotation page switches to official as soon as it is.

Is this official?

No. Heart of the Cards is an independent fan-made tool, not affiliated with The Pokémon Company, Nintendo or Limitless.

Can I play Pokémon on it?

No. Play on TCG Live or with paper cards as usual. Heart of the Cards is where you prepare.

Is my data private?

Yes. Your decks, pulls, games and reviews are visible only to you, unless you share something. See the privacy policy.

Where do the plans and reviews come from?

Everything starts from data: real tournament results, the full card text, rules we've checked by hand and hundreds of simulated games. Guides, builds and reviews are then written up from that evidence with AI assistance. Every card is checked against the current Standard format, so you won't be told to play a rotated card. They're strong guidance, not gospel, and each page says how confident it is.
