Raid printings in the current 50: Evangelion Test Type-01 (Spear of Gaius) (UE15BT/EVA-1-033), Evangelion Production Model-08 (UE15BT/EVA-1-042), Evangelion 13 (UE15BT/EVA-1-034), Evangelion Production Model-New 02 (UE15BT/EVA-1-043), and Evangelion Production Model-02 (UE15BT/EVA-1-081). In Union Arena, [Raid] lets you add the card to your hand or perform Raid if the energy is there. The expensive copy is the ceiling. The cheaper copies with the same name are the steps. Contender's snapshot calls out that rising 5.6% share with a confirmed regional 1st place finish - strong real-world results despite low component scores. The same snapshot flags that lowest disruption (24) and among the lowest power ceiling scores in the format.

The curve

Evangelion Test Type-01 (Spear of Gaius) (UE15BT/EVA-1-033) wait on the line. Do not keep a hand of only these. This is read off the hosted 50, not a hidden playbook. If your locals file plays a different 3-of, trust that file.

Mulligan

What the 50 implies

Keep a Raid Asuka Shikinami Langley, at least one 0-2 cost setup card, and one Mari Makinami Illustrious (056) if the cheap card missed. Ship a hand of only 7+ cost finishers. That is inferred from costs in the hosted list, not a coach sheet from a hidden room.

Tech and flex

First cards to argue about

Asuka Shikinami Langley (UEPR/EVA-1-048) and Evangelion Production Model-02 (UE15BT/EVA-1-081) are the first slots to shave if your room is all one matchup. You Got It! (UE15BT/EVA-1-064) is the 3-of most lists will argue about. Restricted in this 50: Asuka Shikinami Langley (UEPR/EVA-1-051) and Spear of Gaius (UE15BT/EVA-1-063). Bandai capped those on 17 April 2026. This site flags lists that still play more than one.
