Fake Slifer Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards on Ebay
Posted on March 5, 2008 in Graphics by Jeff Starr
Believe it or not, one of my most popular posts here at Perishable Press is an article I wrote about a counterfeit Slifer Yu-Gi-Oh! card. Since its publication, I have received some very interesting information regarding the apparently extensive market for fake Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. Recently, reader Deana wrote to share her experience with an eBay purchase of a “very good counterfeit” Slifer card on eBay.
As a savvy Yu-Gi-Oh! collector, Deana has purchased “some really great cards” on eBay. For example, she once scored an authentic, 70-dollar DDS-001 Blue-Eyes White Dragon card for about 35 bucks. She says that obtaining legitimate high-value cards through eBay is “really and truly a luck of the draw.” Even worse, many eBay shoppers may have purchased counterfeit Yu-Gi-Oh! cards without even realizing it. As Deana explains, the subtle differences between “real” and “fake” cards are not “something you would notice unless you are a collector.”
Fortunately, after receiving a Yu-Gi-Oh! Slifer card that she had purchased on eBay, Deana’s experience as a collector paid off: the Slifer card was a fake! After being contacted from Deana about the fake Slifer card, the vendor acted surprised, responding that, upon closer investigation, he had realized that another one of his cards — Obelisk the Tormentor — was also a counterfeit. On another occasion, Deana received a refund for a $21 “counterfeit Red-Eyes Black Dragon card” that she had also purchased on eBay.
As for the fake Slifer, the vendor allowed Deana to keep the card, which she dutifully scanned and posted for this article. Here are the front and back scans of the counterfeit Slifer card, followed by a list of carefully observed “flaws” in the cards design.

- Full-size view: front of counterfeit Slifer Yu-Gi-Oh! card ( scan by Deana )
- Full-size view: back of counterfeit Slifer Yu-Gi-Oh! card ( scan by Deana )
Observed counterfeit mistakes
- Displays the word “GOLD” (in both English and Kanji) instead of “DIVINE”
- Foil logo in bottom-right corner reads “top-to-bottom” instead of “right-to-left”
- Totally missing the Kanji characters at the bottom-left corner on the front of the card
Totally missing the trademark Konami and Yu-Gi-Oh! logos on the back of the card( apparently, authentic god cards display neither trademark nor logos on the back of the card. )- Artificial holographic properties resulting from waxy gloss finish
Displays “© 1996 KAZUKI TAKAHASHI” on the bottom-right corner
( Thanks to George Hazard for the correction. )
Also worth mentioning is that the vendor shipped this supposedly “rare” Slifer card in a “simple white letter envelope.” Further, “the card itself was in one of those flimsy card protectors, even though [the vendor] promised in the auction that it was going to be in a ‘rigid plastic sleeve.’” If you have purchased valuable Yu-Gi-Oh! cards through eBay (or anywhere else, for that matter), you should take a few moments and investigate the authenticity of your cards.
Hopefully, this article will help others understand the subtle differences between counterfeit Yu-Gi-Oh cards and those that are legitimate. Yes, it’s pretty sad that there are subhuman garbage bags out there that feel the need to rip off kids (and adults) with fake collector cards. I guess that’s what happens when you lack the skills needed to counterfeit the Benjamins. Thanks to amateur trash like yourselves, I enjoy the distinct pleasure of exposing and mocking your feeble skillz! Maybe if the Yu-Gi-Oh! market takes a dive, you pathetic losers can counterfeit Garbage Pail Kids instead! :) </rant>
Many thanks to Deanna for bringing this story to my attention. It does help! ;) If you have an interesting “counterfeit Yu-Gi-Oh” experience to share, please drop me a line or leave a comment on this article. Thanks!
I would like to point out that a few of your Observed counterfeit mistakes are wrong. First, Genuine God Cards DO NOT have the “Konami” or “Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game”. Second, Geniune God Cards DO say “Divine” and ALL Yu-Gi-Oh Cads say 1996 Kazuki Takahashi.
Hi George, thank you for taking the time to share this information with us. Although I am not (yet) convinced of your first point concerning the absence of both “Konami” and “Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game” on the back of genuine cards, I have investigated your second point and found it to be accurate. To account for the discrepancies, I have edited the point about “© 1996 Kazuki Takahashi” and credited you for the correction. As for the word “DIVINE” appearing on all genuine cards, you are correct, but the counterfeit card in question actually displays the word “GOLD” instead. This was an error introduced while writing the article, and has been edited to reflect the correct information. Thanks again for the feedback and for helping to improve the accuracy of the article. Cheers :)
George is right, real god cards do not have the “Yu-Gi-Oh!” and Konami logos on the back, two additional things. Each god card has a different colored back, Slifers being red, Ra is yellow, and Obiliesks being blue. And each god card says “This card cannot be used in a duel.” in the bottom left where the serial number should be.
Thank you for the information, Jason. I am now convinced that you (and George) are correct concerning the lack of “Yu-Gi-Oh!” and “Konami” logos on the back of legitimate God cards. Subsequent articles concerning counterfeit Yu-Gi-Oh! cards will reflect this information. Also, huge thanks for the additional tips about the different card colors for God cards. As for your last point, where on the card is the serial number that is replaced by the phrase, “This card cannot be used in a duel.”? Thanks again!
The god cards that are included as promos in American video games say “This card cannot be used in a duel.” As for the god cards that are included in the Yu-Gi-Oh Worldwide Edition game, it contains the kanji characters in the bottom-left corner of the card. Yes, the phrase “This card cannot be used in a duel.” is on the bottom-left corner of the card.
Thank you for sharing this information, RJ. It looks like you are confirming the location of the phrase, “This card cannot be used in a duel.” — correct? And I assume that we are talking about the front side of the card (the side with all of the card’s information)..? Even more interesting is the notion that cards from American video games include the “card cannot be used” disclaimer but those obtained from the Worldwide Edition do not. Do you know the meaning of the kanji characters that replace the disclaimer (i.e., does it say the same thing, only in kanji)?
RJ is right about the disclaimer in japanese. The reason it’s there is because it came in the Japanese video games. The ones with the english disclaimer were released as promos for the U.S. So it’s understandable why it’s there
Ra - Dawn of Destiny Promo (Xbox game)
Slifer - Yugioh the movie ani-manga Promo
Obelisk - Shonen Jump subscription Promo
Also a good way to tell if a card is fake is by comparing it’s text to another card you own to make sure it’s the right format.
Also make sure the card is from the same country when comparing because some U.S. and Japanese cards have a somewhat different thickness. (This is mainly for the Japanese-English print god cards.)
Great information and tips, Diez. Thank you for helping to improve our knowledge of authentic versus counterfeit Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. Comparing the general formatting (card thickness, typography, etc.) of cards is a great idea and definitely a good way for everyday collectors to identify potentially fake cards. Incidentally, I would love to get some high-quality scans of the different versions of the god cards. If you (or anyone) can assist with this, drop me a line ;)
I almost forgot the back of all real egyptian god cards are suppose to be missing the Konami copyright and Yu-Gi-Oh! Logo. They explain that on every website and It’s like that on the back of my Slifer and Ra. By the way I got mine directly from the games. My friend gave me his Slifer(GB1-001) from his Worldwide Edition game and I got The Winged Dragon of Ra(DOD-001) from the Dawn of duel game.
It should be noted that the Asian-English Slifer’s text is a bit different when compared to most english cards I don’t know why but I checked it out with a few other GB1-001 Slifer cards in person and online but they seemed fine. Like I mentioned before about comparing the weight of two cards make sure they are they are from the same country.
(Ex. Asian-English + English = Bad
English + English = Good)
I know I said this already but I can’t stress this enough.
Diez, you are a literal wealth of Yu-Gi-Oh information! Thank you for the emailed link to the hi-rez scans, and thank you also for sharing from your apparently extensive experience with identifying counterfeit versus authentic Yu-Gi-Oh god cards. It is much appreciated, and I am sure that your advice will further help readers determine and verify the legitimacy (or illegitimacy) of their suspect Yu-Gi-Oh cards.
— Cheers! :)
hello. i started collecting yu gi oh cards because one of my friends plays tournaments. i have around 1,000 cards. i dont know which are fake or real. i also have cards that have the same picture but different name. and i also have some that have the same name but different picture. how do i tell the real ones from the fake? and also the numbers right below the picture on the right side, is that a way for me to tell if they’re real or fake? thank you.
That sounds like quite a task, brandy! The first thing to keep in mind is that counterfeiters most likely don’t bother with low-value cards — they tend to go after high-return investments such as the god cards and anything else that is rare or otherwise hard to get. Of course, the this article or this one should help in identifying the real versus fake god cards, which you can then use to investigate other rare and suspicious cards. Good luck! :)
Well the problem is that i bought these cards at stores. and i’ll continue with the Slifer card, i have a card that the name above the picture says “Dragon-Sky” and it has the same picture as the real one. and code under picture on right side is “G4-01″. so i dont know if its real or fake, can you help?
Hi brandy, I would like to help, but it is difficult to make a diagnosis without actually seeing the cards in question. Perhaps you could scan a few good examples at high resolution (i.e., 300dpi) and email them to me? Scroll down the page for the link that says “Contact via email” and I’ll see what I can do :)
Hey Brandy I think the card is 100% fake unless the card is in japanese and The ATK & DEF are different from the english cards with the ATK above the DEF. It would help if you scanned it. But based on what you described its most likely a fake.
If anyone needs more info on the card game e-mail me at DiezPina@Yahoo.com or Wolfman_FX@Yahoo.com
Thanks for keeping an eye on things, Diez! ;)
Ok I looked at both of the scans. These cards are 100% fake.Heres whats wrong with both cards. Both of them are missing the word divine above their attribute symbol and the text are wrong because its suppose to say something else. They are also missing the phrase “this card cannot be used in a duel” in English or Japanese in the bottom right corner(BTW any other card would have a number that can unlock them in the video games). Slifer’s name is wrong, He is suppose to be a [divine beast], and the number G4-001 should say GBI-001 or YMA-001 if it’s in English. Obelisk main problem is the artwork which proves its a complete fake since there isn’t any alternate artwork for the card.
I hope this was helpful
@brandy: Thanks to Diez, I have also seen the scans and concur that the cards are indeed “100% fake.” May I ask the name of the store from which they were purchased? Such information would certainly help others avoid a similar situation.
well the first couple of packs i bought at Kmart. then I started buying the cards at a 99 cents store in Shafter, CA. but thank you for your help. Can i send you more cards and see if you can tell me if they’re fake or real? they’re in japanese.
Hi I have a god card that has on the bottom (this card can not be used in a duel) can you tell me if it is real because I know that real god cards dont have 1st edition only limited and none and the one I have is non with that saying. Please Email me back with the information
Thank you
@Brandy: Kmart!!?? Yikes, that suggests a much larger Yu-Gi-Oh counterfeit problem than I had previously imagined. Generally, I would suspect, counterfeit cards wind up in smaller outlets and venues (99-cent stores, ebay folk, etc.), but to think that Kmart is buying bulk cards from illegitimate dealers is fairly newsworthy. I don’t suppose Konami would be interested in this..
@Nick, @Brandy: As for verifying fake Yu-Gi-Oh cards, I highly recommend taking Diez up on his offer for assistance in comment #15. He seems more than happy to examine your potentially counterfeit cards. Thanks again, Diez! :)
Hello, Yu-Gi-Oh TCG collectors. I would highly doubt that Kmart would be dealing in counterfeit cards. I buy a lot of cards from Kmart (although, it is the Australian version of the store which is owned seperately from the American store) and all cards I have bought are legitimate. The cards you bought at the 99-cent store are probably the inferior ones. As we all know, counterfeit cards are illegal and I doubt that many stores such as Kmart would get themselves involed with such business.
By the way, I have a friend who recently acquired a large number of Yu-Gi-Oh cards and after examining them I was able to tell him that most were fake. The thing that I find frightening was that some of them were extremely accurate, such as a Red Eyes Black Dragon which was almost identical to the legitimate card, except for thinner text in the heading.
I have been reading here and now understand howto determine real or fake cards..in fact i was so dissapointed in myself..i just binned the fake cards right away (found 7 fakes, All high lvl monsters that i cant remember names for.
Again thank you very much….still got 72 cards…just started collecting again >.<..even watching the tv shows as well :D
Forgot to mention…it was actually EBAY i got the 79 cards from, and that was only 4days ago…lucky it wasnt more than 7…i examined rest very closely to see if there were more..but luckily not…..Thanks again…*note to self: Dont ever buy Yu-Gi-Oh cards from ebay..go argos or somewhere* :P
@Jai
A store such as Kmart dealing in counterfeit cards? I know it sounds like a strech, but I actually have a friend who bought some “rare” cards in a pack at Wal*mart that turned out to be counterfeits. Granted, she doesn’t have them anymore, but the thought is still there. BUYER BEWARE! O_O
@Perishable
I totally forgot about the god cards not having the Konami symbol and such. xD *shot*
@Jai: That’s an awful lot of faith to have in a department store! Although I don’t know about Kmart’s business ethics, I do know that they are in direct competition with Wal*Mart and will do just about anything to stay competitive. Even if they are aren’t intentionally buying bogus Yu-Gi-Oh cards, they certainly are looking for the best available dealz. Assuming that the counterfeit market is as prevalent and as lucrative as it seems to be, I would be surprised if Kmart didn’t find themselves occasionally (and perhaps inadvertently) doing business with some corrupt distribution networks.
@Thanks, i understand now.: Glad to hear that you got everything worked out. I completely understand not wanting to buy Yu-Gi-Oh cards from the eBay folk, but keep in mind there are probably a few legitimate and trustworthy dealers, assuming you can find them. Your best bet? Stick with local, verifiable dealers, triple-check everything (especially for large purchases), and don’t hesitate to cry foul if something smells phony.
@Deana: Don’t sweat it — I did the same thing with more than just the Konami symbols! I am no expert in this game, but certainly enjoy the company ;)
I’m really confused. I bought 3 god cards for my son off ebay. They do not have Konami or Yu Gi Oh symbols on the back. Is that a dead give away for being a fake? His little friends are telling him they aren’t real due to that.
@Laura
It sounds real so far because the real eygptian god cards don’t have konami or yu-gi-oh on the back. Do the have different colored backs that macth the color of the monsters. Blue for Obelisk, Red for Slifer, and yellow for Ra. It would be easier to tell if I saw the card. Maybe if you described the card in a bit more detail.
I had a real experience with a guy selling counterfeit cards on eBay. If I had paid better attention before buying, I would have noticed the ref scams and multiple accounts he was using - despite ripping off his customers, he had a 99% rating, so never rely on those alone. Even after filing with PayPal, this guy tried every possible trick in the book to rip me off. Fortunately, in the end, I got my money back from PayPal, and I got to keep the cards too since he didn’t provide a valid mailing address for the return - they bounced back to me about 2 weeks after sending them.
You can see a scan of the $20-for-a-set counterfeits at http://www.doomworld.com/eternity/shots/fakegods.jpg - at first glace they look rather convincing and even have authentic security holograms in the corners, but amongst tell-tale signs of forgery are incorrect fonts, weird fake-looking level stars, glossy finish, incorrect aspect ratio (width vs. height), poor color quality, misspelled text, and flecks of missing image (not entirely visible in the scan). The backs of the cards are a perfect copy of the authentic ones, except that due to the cheap card stock used, you can see the imprint of the name of the card through the back.
Compare to my real $150 set of first-run prismatic secret rare GBI gods: http://eternity.mancubus.net/pics/egyptian_gods.jpg - in general, if you think the deal is too good to be true, it is. Real God cards are going to cost at least $35 to $50 a piece. And anyone claiming to have a sealed set of GBI gods is probably lying - these cards and the game they came with have been out of print since around 2002.
Hi James, thanks for sharing your story; it is full of helpful information. The fake-vs-real card scans are useful as well, enabling others to see the discrepancies for themselves. In general, I agree with the principle of “if it’s too good to be true, it probably is,” however the converse is not always true: just because some dude on eBay is selling Yu-Gi-Oh god cards for $50 bucks each, doesn’t necessarily prove that the cards are are authentic. I would suggest a healthy dose of skepticism for any significant purchase, Yu-Gi-Oh or otherwise. Just my two cents! Thanks again James for sharing this information (and the scanz!) with us :)
@Diez: Thank you for responding. I would love to describe them to you in more detail. Each are a different color on the back with no other markings - blue, yellow and brown.
On the front - Slifer the sky dragon with a chinese symbol in a circle. Divine-Beast under picture along the very botton there are chinese symbols at the right 1996 kazuki takahashi and a silver square holograph in the left bottom corner.
The same is true for Obelisk the tormentor and the winged dragon of Ra.
Thank you for any advise and opinions.
One other thing I forgot to mention and didn’t see in the article - No authentic God cards will ever say “1st Edition” beneath the picture - this was added to some earlier forgeries to attempt to make them appear more valuable, so that guys on eBay can say “1st Edition Gods!” - the later forgeries like the ones I have omit this error. Apparently each generation of counterfeits improves slightly over the last.
And you’re right, be careful no matter how much the cards are being sold for - obviously the more they ask, the more you stand to lose :) I bought my authentic set from a reputable collectables store that also sells online. eBay is very dangerous.
@Laura: They sound a bit more real but I need to know one more thing. What are are the numbers under the picture in the lower right.
Also if it says 1st edition then its a complete fake.
P.S. it’s hard not to sound rude on the internet but I should clearify that Japanese Kanji = Chinese.
May i just say that god cards do not ahve konami written on the back, i bought the game with the cards ages ago in a shop(think it was hmv) and it didnt have the konami trademarks on the back
Do you know of any places where i could take my cards in and have someone check to see if they’re real or not? thank you
I have the secret rare version of the god cards gb1-001 -003 slifer, ra and obelisk, does this version supposed to feel a bit rigid and contain a very faint (can be seen in light) gloss?
i know this is not about counterfeits but can anyone give me an email adress for the yu-gi-oh depatment of konami??? it is super urgent!!! thanx
i live in south africa and yu-gi-oh is dieing out!!! i have a HUGE passion for the game and i need to try and save it somehow. ill do practically anything! please help me out.
@yu-gi-oh!fanatic: We appreciate your enthusiasm for the game, but let’s try to keep this thread focused on the topic at hand. Thank you :)
I have been reading about the fake Yu-Gi-Oh cards purchased at Kmart and Walmart. Check out a lawsuit found online filed in Oct. 2008 by Konami, in Cal. Federal Court against Vintage Sports Cards a distributor of Yu-Gi-Oh cards for Kmart, Walmart and ToysRus and other retailers. The Vintage Sports Cards Company packaged their own product that was filled with fake Yu-Gi-Oh cards. The company is facing Trademark and counterfeiting charges. Walmart, Kmart and ToysRus are still selling cards from this company although Vintage Soorts Cards got their Reps. to pull most of the counterfeit cards from the shelves after they were caught selling counterfeit products. There are probably still plenty more of these counterfeit cards being sold in retailers and can be spoted by looking on back of package and it will say “Packaged and Distributed by Vintage”., Conroe, Texas. Recently Konami has taken over all distribution of their trading cards and hopefully out of the hands of cheaters like Vintage Sports Cards.
I have about 200 fake Yu-Gi-Oh! cards that I purchased knowing that they were fake. The reason that I purchased them is because the’re funny (and, it was at a dollar store for $1 for every 50 cards)! Take, for example, the “Dark-eyed White Dragon” (it’s supposed to be Blue-Eyes White Dragon with the alternate darker artwork). Its type is “Dragon junta” and it reads: “In the legend,it is boasting with very high attacking power,which can ruin any kind of adversary and its power can not be estimated.” I mean, come on! People are saying that the fake Yu-Gi-Oh! cards are SO hard to filter out from the real ones, the fake ones are quite obvious.
See http://www.flickr.com/photos/kathryncramer/93167089/sizes/o/
I have the “Dragon F.G.D.” card and the “Motorized Gear Man” card.
Ok, i have a copy of Slifer the Sky Dragon, and i really hope that it is real. can i scan it and email it to someone who can tell me if its fake? its in japanese, and the little code in the corner to the bottom right of the picture says G4-01. Fake? Real? Please tell me?!?
Lol, I have this same one, bought it off my friend for $10. But, I still can’t use it in tournaments cause it’s already illegal lol.
how much do you want for this card? if it is for sale
If anyone has any other questions about fake cards, please email me
killer_keith199 AT hotmail DOT com
@james: I am willing to sell the card, but unfortunately it is not in the best condition (see image scans). If still interested, contact me. Thanks.
I HAVE A FAKE SLIFER THE SKY DRAGON!! I’M REALLY ANNOYED, BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO!
I can see it’s almost time to close the thread..
Hi. I also got a slifer and its not like other fakes. This ones really good. The things that give it away are the missing kanji characters at the bottom left of the card, it says first edition and next to the name, above the character in the circle it says GOLD
dude what do u want for your fake god cards i dont really care if its fake
@insanethelegend: the card is for sale: see comment #49 for more info.
I have read this over and have discovered ther are two different types of counterfeit yugioh cards. I have the slifer counterfeit but i have a counterfeit cartoon black devil girl wich does not have 1996 kazuki takahashi.The picture is different from the fake slifer.The back of the fake slifer cards is lighter the the cartoon girl card. The back of the cartoon girls writing is different and does not have the konami on it.It just has yugioh written twice in two different fonts.
So collectors watch for these counterfeit cards!
Hi there, people i am in sa and im wanting to know what real god cards cost in rands.? plz
Not sure how old all the comments are but I purchased the 3 god cards from a dealer in England about 18 months ago. If these are fake, they are very high quality. Out of all the comments, the only fault I find with these are the embossing onto the back of the card for the gold coloured title only. Could individuals that have known legitimate Yu-Gi-Oh Worldwide Edition game cards check for any embossing on the back of the card?
Much appreciated.
i have a real slifer the sky dragon ill tell you how to tell if its real it has nothing at the back it has this card can not be used in a deck it has wired writing of a different language in the bottom left corner well hoped that helped a little bit .I ALSO HAVE EXODIA AND A BUNCH OF OTHER CARDS
Thank you yu gi oh freak. Yes, The cards I have are as you describe.
My only concern is the embossing onto the back of the card for the gold colored name a the top of the card. Can you see any embossing on your card?
Thank you.
i got a fake slifer the sky dragon i thaought it was real also an obelisk the tormentor(new version) if you have a obelisk necross the obelisk i have looks the same but when i look at the back of the card there all fake i am loking for a real obelisk the tormentor & slifer the sky dragon card.
@Perishable & diaz
Check these out please, just getting into collecting and not sure if these are real or fake. I think they are fake but if they are real its a bargain for them. Please go to the following web address and email me ac04634@aol.com with your input:
eBay link
@Adam: keep in mind that even if the cards in the image are authentic, it’s no guarantee that the seller is going to send you the same thing. Just a head’s up..
I realize that this thread is likely old, but in the hopes of a reply, I shall post a question here.
I would like to know more about the small holo square found in the bottom right corner of the egyptian god cards. My fiancee has a secret rare version of the Winged Dragon of Ra that measures up to the descriptions of a legitimate Ra in every way except for that holo square. It is silver with the word “Yu-Gi-Oh!” printed horizantally.
It is my conlusion that it should look like the silver holo found on our other cards and have the eqyptian eye pattern. Am I correct?
Any reply is much appreciated.
I have a question about the Obelisk the Tormentor card. I think mine is a fake, but wanted your review. nothing on back and all the other details seem good. but underneath the picture on middle left side, First Edition is written. I don’t think this is an authentic card.
Hay guys i bought a yu-gi-oh shonen jump obelisk the tormentor which is a new tournament legal card which i bought off a web site called yu-gi-oh land which i always buy my cards from. I was wondering if it was real because i know that it having the same back as other cards is correct for this one because that was the whole point of this new card. But what concerns me is that for a lot of cards on that site it said offical uper deck card and i hear from my aunt and on yu-gi-oh the abridged series about somthing like that konomi either hates them or they make fake cards
And one other thing, i also bought a serpent knight dragon from yu-gi-oh land and everything was good except one thing, it didnt have the numbers in the bottom left corner. And i payed like 8 or 7 dollers for it!
One more thing, i looked through some of my cards and there were some that didnt have seriel numbers i believe there called in the bottom left corner such as, 3 dian keto the cure masters, black magic ritual, black luster ritual, black luster soilder, magician of black chaos. and for one of my cards which i got from my cusin ( dark palidin) hade everything but a name?! somone tell me if these cards are fake or real please.
And what do you mean by waxy gloss finish?
Dunno if this has been said, but you also cannot get a first edition god card. Apparently it is ABSOLUTELY FAKE if it says first edition.
The Man: The only tournament legal god cards I know of are: Uria, Lord of Searing Flames; Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder; and Raviel, Lord of Phantasms. As far as I know, the other god cards are not tournament legal.
a thing i noticed on it is it says “1st edition”. There hasnt been any released “1st edition” god cards. only limited editions
Holy cow, people! Read the previous comments before you post. The “1st Edition” comment is getting old.
Here’s a new question:
Are cards from the movie decks (ex. MOV-EN002) tournament legal? Beyond that, if they say Limited Edition, are they likely fake? Thanks.
