Lightning plans ahead
Indra and Skyreach Gate stack weapons onto the top of your deck, then portal to play blades straight off the top for 0 IKZ.

Azuki TCG’s second set, out November 20, 2026.
The first dual-element Leader puts Lightning and Water in one deck, four 63-card starter decks bring a new Leader and Gate for each element, and the Relic Hunter Box debuts Azuki Select stamped promos. Below: every card in the set, the boxes and starter decks, what the new words mean, and the combos we’re watching.




Indra and Skyreach Gate stack weapons onto the top of your deck, then portal to play blades straight off the top for 0 IKZ.

Hei Lian pushes opposing entities back into their Alley with Displace, and Rainworn Gate shrinks an entity’s cost so cost-capped Displace cards can reach it.

Kaene the Reclaimer heals above 20 health while Tanglehold Gate Roots an opposing entity with base health up to the portaled entity’s Gate Power, so Uproot cards can pick it off.

Scarlett and Sanguine Gate swarm with Bloodlust (+1 attack the first time each turn it targets a leader for an attack), then pay 1 IKZ for extra burn after two combat hits connect.


Every other Leader starts at 20 health; The Sisters start at 15. Once per turn, on your turn, removing an entity from your opponent’s Garden with a card effect lets you play a weapon from your hand or discard pile, as long as its cost is no higher than the removed entity’s base cost.


Once per turn, on your turn, 1 IKZ looks at your top card: keep it for your next draw, or put it in your discard pile so the card under it comes up. This Leader is a different card from the released 5-cost Indra entity with Charge.


Displace first, then pay 1 IKZ: Hei Lian gets +1 Attack until the end of the turn, once per turn. A Leader has no attack of its own, so on a turn without a weapon this gives her 1 attack to swing with; with a weapon it adds 1 to the weapon’s attack.


Scarlett rewards two separate attacks that reach the opposing leader in one turn. After the second hit, pay 1 IKZ for 1 more damage, once per turn. Two attackers are enough, so it’s a steady extra point of leader damage every turn the Fire player keeps the pressure on. This Leader is a different card from the released entity of the same name.


Heals add to the race instead of being wasted at full health: Thornbloom Melon, Wandering Herbalist and Wind Drawn Archer from the starter deck, and booster cards such as Gift of the Grove, Barleytail, The Hearthbrew Barista and Bean Juice.
Move an entity from the Garden to the Alley. Its card effects don’t activate.







A tapped IKZ that can’t be untapped until after your next Reset phase.

The first time the card targets a leader for an attack in a turn, it gets +1 attack until the end of the turn.







Our read: triggers when the entity comes from your Alley into the Garden through your Gate.


Can’t attack until the start of the rooting player’s next turn. Most Uproot cards destroy, damage or attack Rooted entities.







A weapon subtype. Some cards reward playing a Flashdraw weapon straight from your deck.





Your opponent’s Gate can’t be tapped until the start of your next turn, so they can’t portal.


A Leader with two elements. Your deck can use cards of either element, plus Neutral, and a Gate of either.
