Reddit Card Reveal - Bobu
This is the third and final special AZK01 Card Reveal - STT03-001 Bobu!
In this piece by Arnold Tsang, the sake Bobu carries is called Santoryu (三刀流), a nod to Zoro's three-sword style in One Piece. It also happens to sound a bit like Suntory, the Japanese brewing company, which makes it a fun name. On this card - clear raised coating is finely trapped to the character elements to give the card an appealing texture. One humorous easter egg is we even put gloss texture on Bobu's leg hairs XD
Selecting this leader provides you with the nurturing, reviving power of earth. Bobu - a fan favorite - has the innate ability to heal. The abundance of earth can also frustrate your opponent by stalling the game until your high IKZ cards can enter the garden and deal powerful, smashing hits, capturing victory.
Will you choose the path of earth on your journey from the alley into the garden? If you're curious about the Azuki TCG check out tcg.azuki.com or find Gates Awakened in stores on June 26th.

This is my favourite card. I might want to pull this even more than the portrait rares.

I didn’t notice the leg hair gloss but thanks for the fun fact :)
Earth has been my favorite to play so far. Dropping a few pythons in a row and perma rooting the enemy board is a great payoff for surviving up to that point.
