Cyberpunk TCG: Welcome to Night City Beta Starter Deck – Embracing Power

Release Dtae: 01/10/26

Embracing Power is one of two Set 01 starter decks for Cyberpunk TCG: Welcome to Night City, and this is the Beta print — the same cards used ahead of the game's full retail launch, arriving before the standard November release. It hands you the Arasaka Corporation: a faction built on control and precision, dominating opponents through corporate strength and calculated force rather than subtlety.

The deck is fully constructed and tournament-ready out of the box — 40 cards plus three Legends, and a complete polyhedral dice set, so there's nothing else to buy to start playing. Where the game's other starter deck, The Heist, plays a slower, more methodical game built on Quickhacks and card advantage, Embracing Power wants to go big: build up Unit strength through equipment, then land decisive strikes to take control of Night City.

What's in the Deck

• 1x pre-built 40-card deck
• 3x Legend cards: Saburo Arasaka ("Stubborn Patriarch"), Yorinobu Arasaka ("Embracing Destruction"), and Goro Takemura ("Hands Unclean") — all Starter Deck exclusives
• A complete polyhedral dice set: D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, D20
• Everything needed to learn and play — no deck-building or extra purchases required

Key Cards to Know

• Minotaur — rewards higher Street Cred with 10 power when Saburo flips
• Mantis Blades — +2 Power for just 1 Eddie, one of the deck's most efficient weapons
• Sandevistan — grants protection while letting Units ready after attacking

Key Features

• Ready to play immediately: a complete 40-card deck, three Legends, and dice — no assembly, no collection required.
• Beta-exclusive print: early stock ahead of the full retail release, distinguished from later retail copies of the same deck.
• Officially licensed: built on the Cyberpunk 2077 and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners license, developed by WeirdCo in collaboration with CD Projekt Red.
• A distinct playstyle: aggressive, power-focused Arasaka gameplay — a good pairing (or rival) alongside the Heist starter deck.
• In-store and online availability: stocked at both Snaps Games branches (Axminster and Bridport, Dorset) with online ordering and in-store pickup.
