The “Slifer, Obelisk, & Ra” Trading Card Game Accessories are in stores now. We got our hands on some of the product and have a quick review.
Game Mat promotional Image and Copy:
Master the power that was lost millennia ago with the legendary Egyptian Gods! Slifer the Sky Dragon, Obelisk the Tormentor, and The Winged Dragon of Ra return in unparalleled glory with their artwork united on the Game Mat!
This full-sized, rubber Game Mat is the same size as Game Mats used as prizing in various Konami sanctioned events, so it is perfect to Duel your way to the top. Made with high-quality materials, your Dueling experience will be as smooth as possible! The mat is 24″ x 14″.
Game Play Mat
The game mat looks great. The colors pop. The outlines for card placements do not take away too much from the actual image of the Egyptian Gods.
Binder / Portfolio Promotional Image and Copy:
Master the power that was lost millennia ago with the legendary Egyptian Gods! Slifer the Sky Dragon, Obelisk the Tormentor, and The Winged Dragon of Ra return in unparalleled glory with their artwork united on the June 2021 9-Pocket Duelist Portfolio!
Each Duelist Portfolio includes 10-pages with 9 pockets per page, allowing you to display up to a total of 180 cards! Built with a side loading design, you will also get an extra layer of protection for your cards. There’s no better way to show off your collection!
Actual Image
The image background, and the Gods themselves have a cool reflective holofoil quality to them. Slifer’s teeth are a sweet reflective silver. I wasn’t able to really get a good photo of the holofoil with my camera. The exact same image appears on the back side of this Portfolio.
This card binder has 10 pages, and thus slots for 180 sleeved cards – front & back. There is a black anti-slip meshy material behind each slot that keeps cards in places, and prevents the YGO cards from touching each other back to back. The black background also makes your cards visually “pop” in the binder for a nice look.
There are no rings like in a 3 ring binder. Those rings can really damage cards if you are trying to save them as valuables. I wish I knew that 20 years ago!
Cards are also sideloaded. This keeps cards from accidentally flying out the top. I like this a lot. This portfolio is about 3/4″ thick, 11.75″ tall and 9″ wide.
Deck Case Promotional Image and Copy
Master the power that was lost millennia ago with the legendary Egyptian Gods! Slifer the Sky Dragon, Obelisk the Tormentor, and The Winged Dragon of Ra return in unparalleled glory with their artwork united on the June 2021 Card Case!
Each Card Case can fit a full Main, Side, and Extra Deck for a total of 70 sleeved cards. It also includes a special divider featuring the outside design. There’s no better way to protect your Deck while you’re on the go!
Actual Egyptian Gods Deck Case:
This case seems solid and well-made. It is designed to hold over 70 sleeved Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. There is a divider inside the case that matches the artwork on the box. These newer boxes lack Velcro inside the lid to keep it closed though. The lid still seems to shut securely though. They seem to have redesigned these newer deck cases so that Velcro is not necessary.
I wasn’t about to get my hands on the sleeves, but here is the information on them from Konami:
Master the power that was lost millennia ago with the legendary Egyptian Gods! Slifer the Sky Dragon, Obelisk the Tormentor, and The Winged Dragon of Ra return in unparalleled glory with their artwork united on Card Sleeves!
Each pack contains 50 sleeves designed to meet tournament regulation standards. There’s no better way to protect your cards during a Duel!
Conclusion
These are all nice products from Konami. Case, binders, sleeves and play mats are all an extension of your personality. Play with stuff you like. I feel like all the prices on official accessories are usually fair, and Konami makes some solid products.
