Battles of Legend, $35 Magnificent Monsters, 10 Billion Pokemon Cards, Universes Beyond Forever, and Chaotic TCG Returns
The Pod of GreedShow Notes
This week, Paul and Alec have a lot of card game news to catch up. Yu-Gi-Oh has announced and priced the long awaited Magnificent Monsters set. It's got the first Grandmaster Rare cards, but it'll cost you a whopping $35 for a chance at them. There's also Battles of Legend Glorious Gallery, a set that feels a bit overshadowed this year. The Pokemon Company has now printed 10 billion cards in the past year, but it's still not enough to stop the scalpers. Magic the Gathering plans to make Universes Beyond half of its total product lineup. And the beloved Chaotic TCG makes a return!
