Boar Soldier #MRL-E089

Boar Soldier #MRL-E089 collector guide

About Boar Soldier

Boar Soldier is an Effect Monster, printed as MRL-E089 in Magic Ruler (2002) as a Common. It is a Level 4 EARTH Beast-Warrior monster with 2,000 ATK and 500 DEF. Its ATK is the 8th highest of the 66 monsters in the set. Magic Ruler was the third English booster set and brought Pegasus's Toon cards into the game. Magic Cards were later renamed Spell Cards and the set was reprinted as Spell Ruler, so Magic Ruler copies are the original printing. Ungraded, this printing ranks 153rd of the 321 Magic Ruler cards we track. The top card is Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon at €223.11.

Character and collecting appeal

Beast-Warriors mix animal and warrior designs and have been part of the game since the first sets. Its text is about destroying cards.

Version and identification

This guide covers the Unlimited printing, without the "1st Edition" text below the artwork. 1st Edition copies of the same card have their own, usually higher, prices. Check the code printed below the artwork on the right: it should read MRL-E089. The E in MRL-E089 marks the European English printing. The North American printing uses a code without the letter, sometimes with a different card number, and has its own prices. It is the Common version. Commons have a plain name and no foil. Magic Ruler has 3 other printings of Boar Soldier: MRL-089 (€0.12), MRL-089 1st Edition (€0.18) and MRL-E089 1st Edition. Each has its own price, so match the code, edition and rarity exactly.

Investment potential

In its favour: it comes from the first years of the English game, which are no longer printed. Against it: thin trading, so selling quickly can mean accepting a lower price. Past prices do not guarantee future ones. This is not financial advice.

Before you buy

Expect to pay around €1.93 for a clean ungraded copy; played copies sell for less. Ask the seller to show the code MRL-E089, the missing "1st Edition" text and the Common finish clearly in the photos, as listing titles often mix up printings. Cards from 2002 often show white wear on the back edges and corners, so ask for photos of the back before you buy.
