About Maryokutai

Maryokutai is an Effect Monster, printed as LON-EN076 in Labyrinth of Nightmare (2003) as a Common. It is a Level 3 WATER Aqua monster with 900 ATK and 900 DEF. Labyrinth of Nightmare arrived in early 2003 and is best remembered for Torrential Tribute, Magic Cylinder, Gemini Elf and Dark Necrofear.

Character and collecting appeal

Aqua monsters often work with water Field Spells such as Umi. Its effect centres on negating cards and effects and destroying cards. It has a Quick Effect, so it can also be used during the opponent's turn. The Last Warrior from Another Planet mentions Maryokutai in its text, which keeps it relevant.

Version and identification

Check the code printed below the artwork on the right: it should read LON-EN076. The EN in LON-EN076 marks a later English printing, made after Konami moved every English card to EN codes. Copies with the original LON-076 code are a different printing. It is the Common version. Commons have a plain name and no foil. Labyrinth of Nightmare has 4 other printings of Maryokutai: LON-076 (€0.24), LON-076 1st Edition (€0.60), LON-E076 (€2.01) and LON-E076 1st Edition. Each has its own price, so match the code, edition and rarity exactly.

Price history

There are no recent sales of this printing of Maryokutai yet, so we cannot give it a value.

Investment potential

In its favour: it comes from the first years of the English game, which are no longer printed. Card prices can fall as well as rise, so this is not financial advice.

Before you buy

Ask the seller to show the code LON-EN076 and the Common finish clearly in the photos, as listing titles often mix up printings. Cards from 2003 often show white wear on the back edges and corners, so ask for photos of the back before you buy.
