Collector Insights

3 Deck Battle is a Trainer card from the Vending Machine Series 3 (Green) set, released on November 24, 1998. Designed by artist Nobuyuki Habu, it features a theme color of #a78580. The card’s flavor text describes a battle scenario where players prepare three distinct decks, place them face down, and determine the order of play. Each participant battles using the decks once in the chosen sequence, with the winner declared after two victories. The mechanic emphasizes strategic deck management and sequential combat. It holds the card number 39 within its set. The card’s instructions suggest a time-intensive gameplay experience, encouraging players to engage with multiple decks simultaneously.

Each battling player readies 3 decks with different contents. Next, they put their decks face down in play and decide the order of the decks with which they will battle. Also, they start battling with the decks 1 time each in the decided order. The player who won twice in the end wins. If you have a lot of decks, try it when you have plenty of time to play!
