I will be posting photos of the sketches I pulled later this weekend but thought I might as well start off with a breakdown of what else you get in a box ( and it's quite a lot Smile ) .

31 card base set of superb colour artwork all done by male artists from Mexico plus a checklist.

15 or 16 of the 31 card set by all female artists from Mexico, again featuring some top artwork.

6 of the parallel black and white versions of the male base set.

2 of the parallel black and white versions of the female set.

5 chase cards from the three puzzle sets.

Cards are nicely done on a similar card stock to the promos in NSU with a glossy finish. Excellent first effort from Braiiinz, there are clearly a lot of talented artists in Mexico Thumb Up .

Here are the sketches and what an excellent selection they are Cool .




Jason Saldajeno, Jennifer Creech, Robert Hack.





Mariana Real, Liz Chesterman, Dan Borgonos.

These were all single sketches, I was lucky in pulling dual sketches for the other four of my ten boxes Elephant .





Diana Peredo, Blackened Krono.




Van Davis, Kokkinakis Achilleas.

My package finally did it's best Snake Plisken and showed up here in the Chicago area.

IMO, a very solid 1st time out for Humberto and company.

The boxes are really not quite secure for the long run, nor are they tamper proof (the stickers on the sides are too easy to open), so I would stay away from buying them on the secondary market. The black on black on the boxes is a really nice touch but it is probably a little too subtle as brand and set names really don't "pop".

That being said, the cards themselves are beautiful and very well sorted. After assembling, here is what I got from the 10 boxes:

10 Male base sets
5 Female base sets
2 Male sketch sets
1 Female sketch set (incentive) + a second set minus 6 cards (19-24)
4 9 card puzzle sets
1 Air set
2 Sea sets

And then comes the goodies...


Cayce Moyer


George Deep


Fer Galacia


Markos Kstro


Sha-Nee Williams


Hanie Mohd


Tania Lane


Kate Carleton


Puis Calzada

and this stunner (hate to obscure it but rules is rules)



Isreal Artega
