TL;DR
- Apparitions are non-NFT cards that dilute your deck’s PRIME rewards potential
- Use the share feature to export deck codes and identify apparition tags systematically
- Remove apparitions by searching for ‘:apparition’ tags in text editors and replacing with empty space
- Import cleaned decks back to Parallel TCG to optimize your competitive gameplay
- Regular deck maintenance ensures maximum rewards during the closed beta phase
As a leading Web3 trading card game, Parallel combines immersive sci-fi environments with advanced 3D visuals, multiple strategic factions, and deep tactical mechanics where deck optimization directly influences victory rates. Central to this optimization is managing apparitions—digital collectibles that exist outside the NFT ecosystem. These non-NFT cards can significantly impact your ability to earn maximum PRIME rewards, making their identification and removal a critical skill for competitive players.
Apparitions function as temporary or placeholder cards within the Parallel TCG ecosystem. Unlike NFT-based cards that hold permanent value and contribute fully to your PRIME rewards calculation, apparitions provide limited gameplay utility without the same economic benefits. Understanding this distinction helps players make informed decisions about which cards to include in their competitive decks.

The PRIME rewards system represents Parallel’s innovative approach to player compensation, where deck composition directly influences earning potential. By ensuring your active decks contain only NFT-based cards, you maximize your rewards percentage per match. This economic incentive makes apparition management not just a tactical consideration but a financial optimization strategy as well.
Access Your Deck Collection
Begin by logging into your Parallel TCG account and navigating to the “Decks” section interface. This area displays all your custom-built decks ready for competitive play. Take time to review which decks you use most frequently, as these should be prioritized for apparition removal to maximize your ongoing rewards.
Export Deck Codes via Share Feature
Select the specific deck you want to optimize and click the “Share” button. This generates a unique alphanumeric code that contains complete information about every card in your deck composition. Copy this code to your clipboard immediately—this data string holds the key to identifying all apparitions within your current deck configuration.

Identify Apparition Tags in Text Editor
Open any text editing application (Notepad, TextEdit, or preferred alternative) and paste the deck code you copied. Scan through the code systematically looking for specific apparition identifiers. The most reliable method involves searching for the pattern :apparition which appears appended to non-NFT card entries. Each apparition card follows a consistent naming convention like CB-197:apparition where the prefix indicates card identification.
Execute Bulk Apparition Removal
Use your text editor’s find and replace function (Ctrl+H or Cmd+H) to search for all instances of :apparition, and replace them with empty space. This bulk removal technique ensures you eliminate every apparition simultaneously rather than manually deleting each one individually, significantly reducing processing time and potential errors.
Import Your Optimized Deck
After cleaning the deck code, copy the modified text and return to Parallel TCG’s deck interface. Select “Import Deck” and paste your refined code into the provided field. The platform will process this information and generate a new deck containing only NFT-based cards, now optimized for maximum PRIME rewards potential.
Avoid These Common Mistakes
Many players accidentally remove NFT cards by misidentifying apparitions or failing to properly verify deck codes after import. Always double-check your imported deck contains the expected number of cards. Another frequent error involves modifying the deck code structure beyond apparition removal, which can corrupt the entire import process. Preserve all other code elements exactly as they appear in the original export.
Time-Saving Techniques for Power Users
For players managing multiple decks, create a standardized workflow: export all deck codes simultaneously, use advanced text editor features like macro recording for bulk processing, and maintain a master document tracking which decks have been optimized. This systematic approach reduces the time investment from 10-15 minutes per deck to just 3-5 minutes for experienced users.
Strategic Deck Composition Analysis
Beyond apparition removal, analyze your deck’s strategic composition. The Parallel TCG meta evolves rapidly, and certain card combinations yield better results than others. Consider consulting our Class Guide for insights on optimal faction synergies and card interactions that complement your playstyle while maximizing PRIME earnings.
While Parallel remains in closed beta, the manual apparition management process provides valuable insight into deck building fundamentals that will serve you well as the game evolves. This temporary inconvenience actually strengthens your understanding of card economy and strategic deck construction—skills that translate directly to competitive advantage regardless of future interface improvements.
