The starter deck's packaging.

The Blazing Blade Chapter is notably the first starter deck to focus on a game that was not getting its first representation in Cipher with its associated booster series; Fire Emblem had previously been represented in booster series 7. It is also the first starter deck for which a season denotation, in relation to the rotation of the competitive cardpool, is printed on its cards; in this case, "4th" appears near the card number, denoting these cards to be part of the fourth season expected to remain in competitive play until mid-2022.

As with all of Cipher, the cards featured here has been printed only in Japanese and have only been released in Japan.
