Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon
From Yu-Gi-Oh!
| Introduction | |||||

Although not introducing the "new" style to cards in the Japanese OCG, it continued the format set a month earlier by Magic Ruler, with wider text boxes and narrower ATK/DEF area. All cards in this set have since been released in the English TCG. Just under two years later, on March 8, 2002, Legend of Blue-Eyes White Dragon became the name of the very first set released in America. With many cards from the anime series, the 126 cards in this English set were chosen from the Japanese packs Legend of Blue-Eyes White Dragon (above) and Phantom God. Since discontinued by Upper Deck Entertainment, these packs are particularly prized; not only for the rare "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", but also for the five limbs of "Exodia the Forbidden One", which first appeared in this set as well. Later, a modified version of the North American Legend of Blue-Eyes White Dragon was released in Europe. With only 103 of the original 126 cards, however, it sparked some protests in Europe from fans who disliked being deprived of cards accessible to their friends in the United States and Canada. This situation was resolved somewhat by the printing of many of the withheld cards in the European release of Magic Ruler, and the later decision by Upper Deck to remove the regional restriction on cards, opening up the North American card market to European collectors and players. The "Worldwide" set including the same cards as the North American version, but numbered LOB-EN were released with Master Collection Volume 1. Highly sought after cards include the "Exodia" set, "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", "Dark Magician", "Swords of Revealing Light" and "Raigeki". "Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon" introduced to players, Normal Monsters, Effect Monsters, Flip Effect Monsters and Fusion Monsters, as well as the concepts of Normal Summoning, Tribute Summoning, and Fusion Summoning. It also introduced players to Normal, Equip, and Field Spell Cards, and Normal and Continuous Trap Cards. | |||||
