Full Spoiler for Gold Series 4 Revealed

With a few days until its official launch, the full spoiler for Gold Series 4 has now been revealed. Hmm. We're not entirely overjoyed, but then we're not too dissappointed either. I guess 'Meh'. Firstly there's a big re-issue for sought after Lightsworn stuff, which'll please a few people in certain quarters. Secondly, for the collectors, we've got a re-issue of some of the famous Toon cards, from Good Ol' Pegasus' personal collection, including Toon Dark Magician Girl. Bandit Keith fans like me will also be pleased to see Pendulum Machine.

For those of us in the UK (and indeed anywhere other than North America) who can't use Shonen Jump Cards in official events, Obelisk becomes legal with its inclusion - a few people I know are trying to work it in 'just because they can'. Gravekeeper's Spy, Royal Oppression and Doomcaliber Knight round off the highlights, but you can find the full Gold Series 4 spoiler here.

On a final note, we're really loving the first 'for sale' official game mats included with each box - a Yugi one featuring Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl and a Kaiba one with Ol' Blue Eyes and XYZ-Dragon Cannon. There's also a third available at certain key stores with Yugi and Kaiba themselves - so jealous we wont have that one in.

Gold Series 4 Announced

Having seen the success of the first three editions, it came as no big surprise to learn this week that Gold Series 4 has been confirmed for TCG release in June 2011. As usual, it'll be a reprint series of some of the most sought after cards in the game, and as before it'll only be available from independent hobby suppliers. What is new though is (apparently - the press release was a little vague) the inclusion of a game mat, which'll be the first time one has been available to buy at retail.

And so, the rumour mill begins - what'll be included this time up. Of course, everyone's first thoughts turn to Pot of Duality, although I'm betting 'not this time'. As the details emerge, you can find everything you need to know about Gold Series 4 here.
