YuGiOh - Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon

Where it all began - at least in English anyway, Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon was the first ever YuGiOh! Booster. March 8th, 2002 was the day Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon hit the shelves in the US. The European English Edition soon followed, with a slightly different set of cards under the same name (Identical releases in Europe and the US were still a while away).

The card list was drawn from two earlier Japanese sets: the identically named Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon (first released 18th May 2000) and Phantom God (released 10th August 2000). Geeks will of course know that these two Japanese sets were themselves comprised of re-released cards from the early series 1 un-named booster packs. Many of the cards had also been featured in the original Japanese Starter Box. Sought after cards in the set included Dark Magician, the five pieces of Exodia, and (of course), Blue Eyes White Dragon itself. LOBEWD was followed up by the release of Metal Raiders.

This page celebrates the iconic Yugioh release of Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon. You'll find card lists (Japanese and US English), videos, card profiles and much, much more. Also, you can join us in celebrating some of the most notable cards from the set, in both card and anime form. Enjoy! Make sure to vote for your favourite card from the set in our readers poll below and say 'hello' on our guestbook below.

Here we go then - take a deep breath - here comes the US English card list. (Note as stated above, there were fewer cards in the European English Edition)

At BSTS, unfortunately we don't have the English booster in stock anymore, but if you're ever lucky enough to be in our store for a game, we have many of the single cards for sale. We also still have the Japanese Edition (see below) in stock on our website.

Not just where the card game got going, but right back to the first episode of the anime too - featured card number 1 is Blue Eyes White Dragon.

Card Text: This legendary dragon is a powerful engine of destruction. Virtually invincible, very few have faced this awesome creature and lived to tell the tale.

It's been in a few other sets since, but this was number one baby - LOB-001!

A video tribute to Blue Eyes White Dragon. Loads of cool stuff for your viewing pleasure - some subbed, some dubbed, all cool. Enjoy!

The ultimate wizard in terms of attack and defense ;) OK, maybe not nowadays, but Dark Magician has a place in the hearts of every Yu-Gi-Oh! fan as Yugi's signature monster card in the anime and manga.

Released several times since, its first English outing was as LOB-004 in Legends of Blue Eyes White Dragon.

Celebrating Dark Magician's appearances. Enjoy!

Along with it's four limbs, this was the card every kid in the playground wanted. Originally released in Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon as LOB-124. Okay, so Exodia doesn't find its way into many competitive decks nowadays, but nonetheless, special memories...

Card Text: When you have "Right Leg of the Forbidden One", "Left Leg of the Forbidden One", "Right Arm of the Forbidden One", and "Left Arm of the Forbidden One", in addition to this card in your hand, you win the Duel.

Check out Exodia, in our video selection...
