Neopets Battledome Trading Card Game – Return of Dr. Sloth Teaser
Something lurks in the sky above the Virtupets Space Station. For years, the citizens of Neopia thought the threat was neutralized and that the dark, mechanical shadow of the past had dissipated into the cosmos.
They were wrong.
Dr. Sloth has returned in an attempt to take control of Neopia. Here’s what you can look forward to in the Neopets Battledome TCG Return of Dr. Sloth set! Just a reminder, some of these hints may only contain snippets of information to not spoil the whole effect.
Here are a few things to look forward to in the upcoming set:
– Over 200 New Cards
– New Card Rarity
– 2 New Teams
– A Purple Base Neopet
– ALT ART!
These are some text lines from cards, some of these are partial excerpts:
– “… Gain 10 Attack, 10 Defense, and 10 Agility until the end of the next turn. Make 4 additional attacks this turn.”
– “Fetch 1 card with “attack” in its card effect from your deck.”
– “Destroy 1 card on your side of the Battledome. If you do, fetch 1 card from your deck.”
– “Target 1 card in the Battledome; void it.”
– “Randomly destroy 1 card in you opponent’s inventory. If it was a Legend, draw 2 cards and deal 2 damage to your opponent’s Neopet.”

Neopets Battledome Developer Update: Banned & Restricted List 8/25/26
Banned
Darigan’s Paint Brush
Ever since the release of Champions of Meridell, Darigan Neopets have been the dominant choice in tournament play. Being the only Rainbow Pool Neopets capable of maintaining card advantage made Darigan Neopets uniquely powerful and meta warping. This has only grown over time, with every archetype running Darigan Neopets regardless of whether they cared for the synergy of being able to discard cards. While we like powerful Rainbow Pools, having such reliable access to a card draw engine as early as turn 1 has proved far too powerful and far too centralizing to the meta. As such, Darigan’s Paint Brush is banned. As a note, Darigan Neopets will remain legal to run in the Rainbow Pool and will remain limited, despite the Paint Brush being gone.

Neopets Weekly Series 2
Hello Neopets fans and collectors! We’re excited to talk about the upcoming Neopets Weekly Series 2, featuring favorite Neopets and some fun painted versions of them. These cards will be released exclusively on Upper Deck e-Pack over a period of nine weeks. If you collected any of the cards from the first series, you’ll have a good understanding of how the weekly packs work. If not, don’t worry! We’ll go over the releases in this post.
Starting April 28th, packs will release each Tuesday featuring three different Neopets. In Series 1, we featured Baby and Fairy painted pets along with the base pets. There were also achievements with Darigan and Mutant pets as achievements. Series 2 will feature Eventide and Maractite painted pets along with the base pets, with Pirate and Maraquan painted pets as achievements.
Each pack will have 4 cards: 1 of each Neopet in a base color, and 1 random Eventide painted variant! There is also a chance to pull a bonus card, which can be one of four card types: Maractite painted Neopet variant, a Pirate Paint Brush, a Printing Plate, or a Grundo Warehouse loot card.
Example of Printing Plates
The Grundo Warehouse card will have a code on it that you can use to redeem for an in-game item on Neopets.com. Printing Plates are the metal plates that were used in the printing of the cards. Printing Plates are 1 of 1 items and come in Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. You have a chance to pull a printing plate for any of the base, Eventide, Maractite, or Pirate Neopets.
Additionally, each week there will be achievements to redeem for additional cards! Achievements are ways to earn rarer cards just from collecting the regular cards. You can view the Achievements page HERE. A simple one is that if you get a Pirate Paintbrush, you can go to the Achievements page where you’ll be able to combine the paintbrush with the base Neopet selected for that week. You’ll then get a card with the Pirate version of that pet.
If you collect the three Eventide variants, you can redeem them for a Maraquan Paint Brush. You can then combine that brush with the base Neopet selected for that week to receive the Maraquan version of that pet! If you are one of the first four collectors to redeem for the Maraquan Neopet, you can also redeem for a random printing plate of that Maraquan Neopet.
If you’re curious about the difference between Combine and Redeem, I’ll explain that now. When you combine cards, the cards that are combined will no longer be in your inventory and you will receive a new card in their place. When you redeem a card (or cards) for another, the cards that are redeemed will then have a yellow “R” tab on it showing it has been redeemed and cannot be redeemed for another achievement. They can still be used in combining, though.
Example of Redeemed Cards
I hope this guide has helped to get you ready to collect the Neopets Weekly Series 2 cards as they come out! Be sure to keep an eye on our social media to see which Neopets will be released each week!
