Description

Specialties

War Torn Front is a card shop, retro video game store and hobby gaming store.

We carry multiple card games, although, we specialize in Magic: the Gathering. We have an extensive collection of singles and sealed product that is updated daily. We also have Pokemon, Weiss Schwarz, Cardfight Vanguard and Force of Will as well as singles for those games.

In store, we have a large collection of specialty board/card games as well. If we don’t have what you’re looking for in stock, we should be able to order it.

We run tournaments for Magic: the Gathering, as well as our other card games. We keep our players’ best interest in mind when running tournaments, so with our our knowledgeable staff, you can focus on playing while we take care of the rulings.

Gaming-wise, we deal mainly in classic/retro gaming. So if you’re looking for games on the Atari, NES, Genesis, etc, we might have it!

We also host/run video game tournaments at our venue as well. (Every Sunday/Monday, various Smash Bros tournaments take place. Street Fighter coming soon!)

Come on by and introduce yourself to our community! We’re looking forward to meeting you.

History

Established in 2010.

War Torn Front originally began as a consignment and thrift store (under the name Alluring Treasures). Eventually this segued into a growing used video game market, focused primarily on older systems not carried by big-box retail stores.

Within a year and a half, Alluring Treasures went from a consignment and thrift store with some table space for hobby games, into a full-blown gaming retail store. Alluring Treasures also launched www.WarTornFront.com during mid-2012, an online retail store, giving the world access to our card selection for both Magic: the Gathering and Kaijudo.

As of early 2013, Alluring Treasures came under new ownership. Since then, the store has been renamed War Torn Front to match it’s online counterpart.

War Torn Front welcomes you into our gaming community. Play to win!

Great shop, great customer service! I recently participated in an event, received a DQ, the employee (I believe his name was Brandon) turned a crappy situation for me into a learning experience, and really was able to make the situation feel less crappy for me and my wife. Excellent customer service like what he provided is going to ensure that any time I buy more magic cards I’m going to buy it from this shop!

The people who work here are passionate about the business of CCGs, providing an excellent atmosphere to have people come in and hang out, and the owner is awesome to boot. 10 stars if I could give it.

My name is Zack and I am from Stockton. I like their business so much I rather drive to Manteca then go to my local shop. When I place in order, they get it done very fast or get it done before I even get there. I usually do not do reviews but over the last probably ten visits have been perfect.
I was new to the Magic the Gathering Game and never played in a Friday night magic before coming to this store. Good for beginners and to the veterans that play there every week.
Pros
Friday Magic with lots of space
Good prices
Awesome prize pool
Pre-releases, Grand pre-trails.
Surplus of Judges
Quality of the players
Cons
Amount of parking on busy nights
Manteca (this one is only personal because I live in Stockton.)
Thank you so much for reading my review.

Good shop. They are a go-to location for a huge selection for MTG singles, and to play if you want a challenge in a competitive atmosphere.
They also do other card games, board games, and even buy/sell/trade retro video games.

Great place. A little under kept but great for what it supplies none the less. This would have been a 5 star but I find it weird and a bit gross that people walk around bare foot. I thought it can’t be helped. But I saw an employee do it too. I’m not sure why but it really makes me not want to come back. I will though.

I have come here with my son for the past few months on Sundays. We have a blast making a day out of the event. We just came to the Christmas party this past Sunday. My wife came as well for the first time. We all enjoyed the atmosphere. While there are some that tend to get obnoxious, it is expected when you have a lot of people in one place. My son and I just got into Magic the Gathering after the Christmas party and found the staff to be wonderfully helpful in recommendations that helped us learn and enjoy the game.
My boy also enjoys playing on the Wii-U as we get 5 – 8 people playing Smash Brothers. My wife was even cheering! Highly recommended for those wanting to try out a new game or a few!

Visited this place cos it seemed pretty good from the reviews. The selection is pretty good and prices are alright. From my understanding they sell their stuff online as well so don’t come here expecting to get an amazing bargain.
But on the plus side they have some cool people working here that just wanna talk about games and are ready to help you out. They had a good selection of consoles available and some 70s retro stuff too if you’re into that. And of course the NES, genesis, snes, etc.
I would come here again to check out what selections they have and hopefully can try and get a good deal on some good retro games.

War Torn Front is awesome! The guys here won me over the first time I attended Friday Night Magic a few weeks ago.
The store is clean and well organized, and the owners and the vast majority of their clientele are patient and helpful with everyone, even new players like me. They all also seemed to remember my name after I’d only been here once.
It should be mentioned that War Torn Front, unlike so many other card shops I’ve been to with my boyfriend, is as girl-friendly as these sorts of joints get. The store boasts clean bathrooms, and I have never felt patronized or ogled while getting my Magic on.
So, to the geeky boys of the Modesto/Manteca/Stockton area, if you want to convince your significant other to go with you to a comic or card shop, this is the one to check out. Girlfriend approved, guaranteed.
