PRECIOUS IDOL FESTIVAL: what the official account has actually said
DMPX-03 went live on 23 July 2026 and is the set the current New Division
metagame is built on. Everything below is summarised from the official site and the
@dmps_info account, with the original posts attached as sources. If
the embeds do not load, the Japanese text is written out underneath each one.
The set at a glance
| Set code | DMPX-03 |
|---|
| Title | PRECIOUS IDOL FESTIVAL （プレシャス アイドル フェスティバル） |
|---|
| Live | 23 July 2026, after maintenance |
|---|
| Type | Not a regular pack. See below. |
|---|
| New rarity | PLAY'S CHARACTER CARD (PCC) |
|---|
The X in DMPX-03 matters.
Official copy for the login campaign runs "until the next regular card pack release,"
which places DMPX-03 outside the numbered regular line. If you have been counting sets and
wondering where set 37 went, this is why — it has not arrived yet. DMPX is a separate track.
What is in it
Five idol concepts, built so that collecting one idol's cards produces a working deck without
needing to understand the wider format. A new rarity tier, PLAY'S CHARACTER CARD, sits at the
same generation and disenchant cost as Victory, Legend and Master Rare. Five character-sung
tracks were added as a new BGM set called STARS, unlocked by obtaining
the corresponding Secrets.

Two Secret-rarity cards revealed in their premium versions:
Chōkaitaku Yōsei Ajisai! 《超開拓妖精アジサイ！》 and
Shugo Suiryū Hydrangea 《守護水龍 ハイドランジア》.
Premium versions of Secrets carry a printed idol signature across the art.
Ajisai is worth noting for competitive players: Light/Water/Nature Ajisai! is currently
sitting in Tier A of the New Division list.

A PLAY'S CHARACTER CARD revealed in premium:
Majime Idol! Kasumi / "Follow me!"
《真面目アイドル！ カスミ／「私についてきてください！」》.
PCCs are double-sided — a creature face and a spell face sharing one card — which is why the
names come in pairs.

The official card list was updated with every DMPX-03 card. This is the searchable database on
the official site, and it is the most reliable place to check a card you have seen in a
Japanese video — the images are there even if the text is not in your language.

Where this set left the metagame
Two weeks after release, Kamigame's New Division tier list had Lionel decks holding three of five
Tier S slots, with four of the five having climbed that week. Ajisai! — one of the cards revealed
in the 13 August post above — anchors a Tier A deck.
