2-Player Starter Set Card List and Set Guide

Overview

The 2-Player Starter Set released January 26, 2024, with two decks: STAX-EN001 to EN044 (the catalog has no EN005) and STAS-EN001 to EN044. Together that makes 87 set codes: 79 Commons and 8 Ultra Rares, four Extra Deck monsters in each deck at EN041 to EN044.

Every card is a reprint, first released between 2002 and 2023, many of them classics such as Dark Magician Girl, Magician of Faith, Mystical Space Typhoon, Dark Hole and Magic Cylinder. Mannadium Fearless appears in the STAS deck at two codes.

The Ultra Rares include Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder, Number 20: Giga-Brilliant, Daigusto Emeral and Mannadium Prime-Heart.

Cards and rarities

2-Player Starter Set has 87 set codes, each starting STAX-EN and printed under the artwork on the right. Where a card comes at more than one rarity, every version shares its code, so the table counts set codes at each rarity and a code printed at two rarities is counted twice.

Each set code has one rarity, so the 87 set codes are also 87 printings. Set completion in TurnZero HQ counts the distinct set codes you own against the set's total, so a card printed at two rarities counts once, with an every-rarity count beside it for collectors chasing each version.

Rarity is in the foil rather than the set code, so check it before you price the copy in your hand. Reading the set code and rarity →
