Digimon Card Game — Time Stranger and Dawn of Liberator hit shelves
February 2026 — The Digimon Card Game's early-year wave is here. Time Stranger [BT-24] hit on January 23, and Dawn of Liberator [EX-11] followed on February 13. If you're a Digimon player or collector, here's what these sets bring and how the product is structured.
Product lineup
Bandai's Digimon TCG uses a familiar pattern: main booster sets (BT-xx) and Extra Boosters (EX-xx). Time Stranger is a main set; Dawn of Liberator is an Extra Booster — typically smaller, with targeted support for existing archetypes or new mechanics. Prices below are approximate U.S. street; check your LGS or major retailers for current availability.

Liberator era
The "Liberator" theme is Bandai's current story arc — new characters, new Digimon, and product designed around that narrative. Dawn of Liberator and the Debuggers Set feed into it. If you're a collector, the Liberator-branded products are the ones to watch; if you're a player, Time Stranger and EX-11 will define the early 2026 meta. Alternate arts and secret rares drive sealed value; check singles prices before you crack. The 2026 Dash Pack Campaign — one Dash Pack per 12 boosters purchased — adds a small bonus for buyers.
