Genius Invokation TCG Deck Vol. 3: What's Inside and Who It's For

The language note comes before anything else

The most important detail about this Genshin Impact Genius Invokation TCG pre-constructed deck Vol. 3 is not the card count or the price. It is the line in the listing that says the product is available in Chinese only. That single constraint shapes who this deck suits and who should skip it.

If you read Chinese, or you are buying for a collector who treats the cards as Genshin merchandise rather than a playable English set, the deck is straightforward. If you need English card text to play at a local table, this is not the version for you. No amount of rulebook support changes the fact that the cards themselves are printed in Chinese.

Confirmed contents of one pre-built deck

• Genshin Impact – Genius Invokation TCG Pre-constructed Deck Vol. 3 (CHINESE ONLY): One Pre-built Deck Includes: 3 Character Cards, 30 Action Cards, 7 Support Cards This is the full playable card count, so you know exactly how many cards arrive before you buy.

  

• Genshin Impact – Genius Invokation TCG Pre-constructed Deck Vol. 3 (CHINESE ONLY): Additional Contents: 1 Quick Rulebook, 1 Paper Game Mat, 1 Elemental Reaction Reminder Card, 1 Keyword Glossary Card The extras support play out of the box, but the rulebook and glossary are part of the Chinese-only package.
• Genshin Impact – Genius Invokation TCG Pre-constructed Deck Vol. 3 (CHINESE ONLY): Material: Paper; Size: 88*63mm Standard card dimensions help you judge sleeves and storage before the deck arrives.

What the 3/30/7 split means at the table

The deck is built around three character cards, thirty action cards, and seven support cards. That is a complete pre-constructed deck in the Genius Invokation TCG format, not a booster pack or a random assortment. You are getting a fixed list, which is useful if you want a predictable starting point rather than the gamble of opening packs.

The included quick rulebook, paper game mat, elemental reaction reminder card, and keyword glossary card are there to get you playing without buying separate accessories. For a first deck, that bundle is the practical part of the purchase. The trade-off is that everything in that bundle is printed in Chinese, so the learning aids only help if you can read them.

The variant choice is the real decision

The listing offers several character lineups under the same Vol. 3 product. The deck contents and extras are the same across variants; what changes is which three characters lead the deck. Pick the lineup that matches characters you already enjoy, because that is the part you will actually look at and play with.

• Raiden Shogun, Kamisato Ayato, Thoma: A lineup built around Inazuma characters, listed as one of the available Type options.
• Tartaglia, Fatui Cryo Cicin Mage, Mirror Maiden: A lineup that leans on Fatui and Mirror Maiden characters.
• Arataki Itto, Gorou, Mirror Maiden: A Geo-heavy character group with Mirror Maiden as the third slot.
• Qiqi, Tartaglia, Yanfei: A mix of Cryo, Hydro, and Pyro characters.
• Yae Miko, Millennial Pearl Seahorse, Maguu Kenki: A lineup that includes a monster card alongside Yae Miko.
• Tighnari, Razor, Kirara: A Dendro, Electro, and Dendro grouping.
• Kaedehara Kazuha, Raiden Shogun, Qiqi: A lineup with two Inazuma characters and Qiqi.
• Yoimiya, Kamisato Ayato, Thoma: A Pyro and Hydro mix with Thoma as support.

Chinese-only deck vs. waiting for an English version

The listing does not mention an English edition of this exact Vol. 3 deck, so the honest comparison is between buying this Chinese-only version and not buying it. Do not assume an English version exists just because you want one.

• Buy the Chinese-only deck: You get the full 3/30/7 card set plus play aids, and you can play if you or your group can read Chinese. The catalog price is USD 8.36 against a comparison price of USD 13.49.
• Skip it and wait: If English card text is non-negotiable for your table, this deck will not solve that. Waiting is the right call unless the cards are for display or collection.

Where the price fits and what it does not tell you

At USD 8.36, with a catalog comparison price of USD 13.49, this is an inexpensive way to try a fixed Genius Invokation TCG deck. That price buys the cards and the paper play aids, nothing more. The listing does not confirm sleeves, a storage box, or English-language support materials, so plan to supply those yourself if you need them.

The product is listed as a MiHOYO official product, which matters if authenticity is part of your buying decision. It does not change the language constraint. Official status and Chinese-only text can both be true at once.

A short checklist before you order

Run through these points in order. The first one decides everything else.

1. Confirm you can use Chinese card text: The deck is Chinese only. If you cannot read the cards or the rulebook, the play value drops sharply.
2. Pick your character lineup: Choose from the eight listed Type options based on which characters you want to play or display.
3. Check your sleeve and storage plan: Cards are 88*63mm paper. The listing does not include sleeves, so decide whether you need them separately.
4. Decide if the extras matter to you: The rulebook, game mat, reminder card, and glossary are useful for learning, but only in Chinese.
