UNION ARENA 2026 Winner Cards Vol 1 Revealed!
The next round of UNION ARENA store tournament winner cards have been revealed and they are spectacular, featuring characters from Evangelion, Sword Art Online, Demon Slayer, and the hit manga, Kagurabachi.
Each one of these cards feels like it has the potential to be a main staple in their decks. The one-cost Chihiro will likely be a raid target for his deck, with a draw-one-sideline-one that is always solid. Two-cost Asuna has a similar advantage, only she lets you draw a card without you needing to discard one, which is even stronger.
Asuka Langley is from the highly anticipated Evangelion set which has many top tier UNION ARENA decks in it, so she will be a popular character. Meanwhile, Tokito isn’t from the strongest Demon Slayer deck but still could be an interesting add for those wanting to build a deck specifically around him and his color trigger.
Store tournament Vol. 1 will features zero-cost Rukia
We knew we would be getting the zero-cost Rukia ever since it was officially announced earlier in November, 2025. Rukia is undoubtedly the most anticipated of the new store promos coming out in early 2026, but the others looks interesting as well. Meanwhile, the Mito will play a huge role in the Progressive Sword Art Online Vol. 2 deck that’s coming out with the set releasing January 26, 2026.
2026 Vol. 1 Judge pack promos
Last but not least are the judge compensation packs. Because judges like to horde these for themselves, they can be a bit harder to get and also tend to be more valuable on the secondary card market.
While there are a bunch of interesting Judge promos here, my favorite are the zero-cost Asuna and two-cost Kirito. Asuna will be a staple in both purple SAO Vol. 2 decks, while Kirito will make GGO much stronger.
The most popular of the judge promos, however, might be Asuka Langley just because of how many Evangelion fanatics there are out there.
