Buying for a child?

  • This set is long out of print so sealed product comes from specialist and secondhand sources. Check that anything sold as sealed really is, and that single cards are described by condition.
  • A booster box is 36 packs and the best way to chase the rare cards, though nothing guarantees any particular card.
  • Theme decks are 60-card ready-to-play decks with a foil card: the way to play, not the way to find rares.
  • Chasing the full arts and secret rares? They come only from packs, and pull rates are unpublished, so buy to enjoy opening packs.
  • Cards are in English and the set is far out of tournament rotation, so these cards are for collecting and casual play.
