June 2022 – My Hero Academia Collectible Card Game

Good day to all you MHA CCG fans out there! I’m really excited to be writing this message to you all. I’m a big fan of card games, including following a certain other Head Game Designer’s regular blog posts before a big release. So I asked our media department, and got the go ahead to write up this list, in an effort to emulate another designer I regard very highly.

We’re getting ready to start previews for the next expansion of the My Hero Academia CCG, but before we do, I wanted to give you some insight into what you’ll be seeing over the coming weeks. So I hope you’ll enjoy my MaRo style preview teasers for Heroes Clash!

A card that helps a “Sticky” archetype.
