About WaveTCG

WaveTCG is an independent guide hub for people who play and collect trading card games. Our motto is "ride the wave": enjoy the hobby, learn the fundamentals and avoid being swept along by hype.

What we cover

We write practical, game-agnostic guides on getting started, card grading, spotting counterfeits, storage and protection, deck-building fundamentals, and balancing collecting and playing on a budget. Where details depend on a specific game's rules, we point to the official source.

What we do not do

• We do not sell cards, sealed product or supplies.
• We do not publish card prices, value predictions or investment advice.
• We do not show card images or use publisher artwork.
• We do not accept payment for recommendations.

Independence and trademarks

All trademarks belong to their respective owners; WaveTCG is not affiliated with any card game publisher. Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece Card Game, Disney Lorcana and other names are trademarks of their respective owners and are used here only to identify the games.

Accuracy

Trading card games change constantly: new sets, rotations, ban lists and rules updates. We review our guides regularly; they were last reviewed on 2 November 2026. If you find something out of date, please tell us.
