Quick answer
DC Deck-Building Game promo cards and accessories add unique abilities and flair to your games. This FAQ covers how to use them, where they come from, and what makes them collectible.
What are promo cards and why collect them?
Promo cards are limited-release cards that often feature alternate art or unique gameplay text. They were originally created for Organized Play Kits or convention giveaways. Because they are not sold in standard expansions, they can be harder to find and add a fun challenge for collectors.
Are promo cards tournament-legal?
DC Deck-Building Game is a casual, cooperative or competitive tabletop game, not a sanctioned tournament game. There are no official tournament legality restrictions. You can freely add any promo card to your games as long as your group agrees.
Frequently asked questions
How do I use a promo card in my deck?
Shuffle the promo card into your main deck as you would any other card. It follows all normal rules for that game. Some promo cards may have special instructions printed on them.
Can I use the Confrontation Coin in any DC Deck-Building Game?
The coin is specifically designed for Rivals games (like Shazam! vs. Black Adam), but you can adapt it for any game that uses a similar Buy/Confront decision. In standard deck-building games, the coin may not have a direct use.
Are there different versions of promo cards?
Yes. For example, the Gypsy and Forager promo cards each have two slightly different physical versions (visible in product images), but the gameplay text is identical. This is common with promo cards produced in different print runs. Check product images if you are a collector seeking a specific variant, but know that gameplay is unaffected.
