Surprise #2: Bling Out with Style!

Surprise #3: Starlights Return!

One thing you can always expect from a Battles of Legend set is new cards for your Decks, and always all foil. Battles of Legend: Monster Mayhem has new cards for Nekroz, Gem-Knight, Jurrac, Fabled, D/D, and Magistus Decks, plus a lot more.

Also not a surprise, this massive 177-card set has plenty of old – and new! – favorites you might still be looking for (Primite Lordly Lode, anyone?), or wanting to grab as a foil upgrade (King of the Feral Imps has been most displeased by his apparent lack of sparkle).
