About Change of Heart

Change of Heart is a Normal Spell Card, printed as SDY-E030 in Starter Deck: Yugi (2002) as a Common. Starter Deck: Yugi was one of the two pre-built decks that launched the English game in 2002, built around the cards Yugi Muto plays in the anime, with Dark Magician at its centre.

Character and collecting appeal

Change of Heart takes control of an opponent's monster for a turn. It was strong enough to spend years on the Forbidden list. In play, it is a card for taking control of an opponent's monster.

Version and identification

This guide covers the 1st Edition printing. The words "1st Edition" are printed below the artwork on the left; copies without them are the Unlimited printing and usually sell for less. Check the code printed below the artwork on the right: it should read SDY-E030. The E in SDY-E030 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. Starter Deck: Yugi has 3 other printings of Change of Heart: SDY-032 (€0.54), SDY-032 1st Edition (€3.75) and SDY-E030 (€2.71). Each has its own price, so match the code, edition and rarity exactly. It was also printed in Metal Raiders and 25th Anniversary Rarity Collection, which we track separately.

Price history

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

Investment potential

In its favour: it comes from the 1st Edition run of an early English set, which will never be printed again; lasting fame from the anime or the competitive game; it is the original printing, which reprints rarely replace for collectors. Treat this as background, not a prediction or financial advice.

Before you buy

Ask the seller to show the code SDY-E030, the "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.
