Starter Decks
A rundown of the NARUTO CARD GAME sample decks shown at Gen Con - Naruto Red and Sasuke Blue - plus what we still don't know about retail starter decks.
Updated
Bandai hasn't confirmed a retail starter deck product yet, but we do now have a look at the two demo decks used for Tutorial Sessions at Gen Con 2026: a red deck built around Naruto, and a blue deck built around Sasuke. Whether these ship as-is at retail, get reworked, or stay exclusive to tutorial events is still unknown - treat what's below as a look at the demo decks, not a confirmed product.
