Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game Ancient Prophecy Special Edition - Available Now

Find Great Value in the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME
Ancient Prophecy Special Edition from Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.


EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – October 16, 2009 – Ancient Prophecy Special Edition gives Duelists another chance to collect all of their favorite cards from the latest Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's TRADING CARD GAME booster release from Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. Featuring an additional card never before released in North America, Ancient Prophecy Special Edition is one of the most anticipated releases this quarter.

Each Ancient Prophecy Special Edition box includes three packs of Ancient Prophecy and one of two Super Rare variant cards. Previously released only as a video game promotional card in Europe, “Red-Eyes Wyvern” will be the prized card for many, as it is critical for Summoning “Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon” – a vital combo in any modern Dragon Deck.

Meanwhile, fans of the extremely powerful and popular Lightsworn Deck will be eager to get the “Solar Recharge” card to add to their Deck. Lightsworn Decks made an extremely strong showing at the recent SHONEN JUMP Championship in Orlando, Florida. “Solar Recharge” is a vital component of any Lightsworn Deck, and Duelists looking to build their own Lightsworn Decks will have an easier time of it with this card's re-release in Ancient Prophecy Special Edition. Additional cards for the Lightsworn Deck will be reprinted in the recently-announced upcoming Stardust Overdrive Special Edition and Twilight Edition.

At an approximate retail price of $9.99, the Ancient Prophecy Special Edition is great value, and its powerful variant cards will make the Ancient Prophecy Special Edition a must-have for players of all skill levels.

The Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's animated series can be seen in the United States Monday through Saturday on Cartoon Network. The original Yu-Gi-Oh! animated series can be seen Saturday mornings on The CW 4Kids Network. For more information on Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc., the Yu-Gi-Oh!
