Bushiroad Press Release - Today's Cards - 30th October 2014

From the Bushiroad Website

Recently, I've gotten the urge to restart playing MMORPGs. Probably the influence of Log Horizon season 2 and the latest arc of Sword Art Online II. The GGO arc didn't make me feel like playing FPSes though. Probably was too engrossed in the main characters, Sinon and "Kiriko" (Kirito), as I have heard some people call him.
