May 22, 2016 FE Cipher, News 2 comments

If the artwork in these cards looks familiar to you, you’ve probably seen these artists’ work before. The HN card on the left was drawn by Eiji Kaneda, the official artist for Binding Blade, and the ST+ card on the right was drawn by Koutarou Yamada, the artist of the Hasha no Tsurugi manga that was released as a tie-in to the game.

We also now have the SR card for Sanaki from Radiant Dawn, as well as R cards for Edward from Radiant Dawn and Dieck from Binding Blade.
