Of the reviews for BDSP so far, it seems like the main positive is that it's a faithful remake of Diamond and Pearl, and the main negative is that it's a faithful remake of Diamond and Pearl.

Talked with the judging staff afterwards, and if I didn't drop, I might have received a DQ - for marked cards! The oversized cards aren't cut to as high a standard as regular cards, so some cards could understandably be identified.

After what was probably the longest deck check I've ever witnessed, the deck was returned with "we're still not sure if this is playable, but finish up the round and talk to us afterwards". I lost game 3, and then dropped (as I had intended to no matter what).

For his birthday in 2009, @Creatures_Inc gifted Mr. Ishihara cards based off of his two dogs at the time, Pokey and Jeekun. Both dogs unfortunately passed away the next year (at 11 and nearly 16 years old, respectively), leaving these cards as a beautiful memory of the pups.

Two years ago at NAIC 2022, I hid behind big cards, playing a deck made of oversized cards. This year at NAIC 2024, I hid behind big screens, entering match results on Day 1 and running the tournament software for TCG Masters on Day 2. What will NAIC 2026 bring?
