Blue-Winged Crown #MRD-E122 collector guide

About Blue-Winged Crown

Blue-Winged Crown is a Normal Monster, with flavour text instead of an effect, printed as MRD-E122 in Metal Raiders (2002) as a Common. It is a Level 4 WIND Winged Beast monster with 1,600 ATK and 1,200 DEF. Metal Raiders was the second English booster set. It added Summoned Skull, Gate Guardian, Mirror Force and Change of Heart, and many of its cards shaped how the early game was played. Ungraded, this printing ranks 334th of the 508 Metal Raiders cards we track. The top card is Gate Guardian at €301.65.

Character and collecting appeal

Winged Beasts include the Harpie Ladies and many early flying monsters. With no effect, its appeal is its artwork, its stats and its place in Metal Raiders. Punished Eagle mentions Blue-Winged Crown in its text, which keeps it relevant.

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 MRD-E122. The E in MRD-E122 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. Metal Raiders has 3 other printings of Blue-Winged Crown: MRD-122 (€0.22), MRD-122 1st Edition (€0.58) and MRD-E122 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. Treat this as background, not a prediction or financial advice.

Before you buy

Expect to pay around €1.37 for a clean ungraded copy; played copies sell for less. Ask the seller to show the code MRD-E122, 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.
