Blade and Banner Games

Blade and Banner Games is a trading card store at 5416 W Adams Ave in Temple, Texas, built around Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering. The shelves lean toward sealed product and the supplies that go with it, so it suits collectors and players who want boosters, boxes and accessories under one roof.

What's on the shelves

Pokémon is stocked as booster packs, booster bundles, booster boxes and elite trainer boxes, along with other product. The Scarlet & Violet era is well represented: the 151 booster bundle, Paldea Evolved booster bundles and Paldean Fates tech sticker blisters have all been on the shelf, though the Paldean Fates blister has sold out.

Magic: The Gathering comes as booster packs, booster boxes and Commander decks. Recent arrivals include Assassin's Creed: Beyond booster packs and booster displays, Baldur's Gate booster packs and Aetherdrift collector booster displays. A four-deck Commander display case has also been among the featured stock.

For protecting and carrying cards, the store sells sleeves, toploaders, binders and playmats. Its role-playing section carries dice and other RPG products.

Magic boosters range from about $4.45 for an Assassin's Creed: Beyond pack to $12.95 for a Baldur's Gate pack, and displays and cases run from $109.95 to $214.95.
