Starting in A Lawless Time, changes were made to booster packs - regular foils are gone, hyperfoils are in every pack, Prestiges can be found in regular boosters, and hit rates have shifted!
Lets crack into our FIRST A Lawless Time Booster Box and figure out how the experience is now. Better or worse - you let me know what you think down below!

![Fire Ciel still SERVES! 🍽️ Fire Siphon Ciel Deck Profile [Grand Archive TCG]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xCeSulpZBtU/mqdefault.jpg "Fire Ciel still SERVES! 🍽️ Fire Siphon Ciel Deck Profile [Grand Archive TCG]
In Distorted Reflections, both starter decks can be upgraded to be competitive at their full power! Its not always a cheap endeavor, but all of the pricier cards youll upgrade this deck with can be used in multiple other decks, so this is a great place to start if you enjoy the playstyle of the new Guardian, Ciel, and want to stick to the Fire build that you began with!
In this video, well look at a Fire Umbra Ciel variant that uses the Siphoning Fractal package, as well as his UR, Soutirer Vortex, in the sideboard - creating a robust and resilient endgame that can stabilize against many more aggressive decks - while still keeping that powerful attacking edge that lets you surprise decks with strong pressure when needed!
Well look at the full decklist and talk about strategy, card choices, and options to take this deck and tweak it to how YOU like to play. Your Umbra Ciel deck profile - is SERVED!
