gyrados pokemon card X & Y Ancient Origins Single Rare Gyarados #20 Stage 1 Pokemon Card "Gyarados" sv1S 014/078

Today Wizards of the Coast launched one of the biggest external collaborations it has ever done with Magic: The GatheringTales of Middle-earth, an entire expansion dedicated to the world of Tolkiens beloved fantasy works

It's a tempo loss of cards and a card loss since they have to draw it again

Instead, it was printed on a separate sheet and was only available through Base Set starter decks

The 151 set ran a high-density SAR lineup featuring Nanjamo SAR (which has traded north of $800 for most of 2024-2026) and a reprinted Charizard ex SAR variant, both of which remain among the most-searched Japanese Pokemon SARs of the entire era

This reflected very well in the color combinations (well, except for the last one, I guess), giving us a template for the four featured MTG Final Fantasy cards on this list
