Gold Series 3 Card List and Set Guide

Overview

Gold Series 3 is a 50-card reprint set released June 18, 2010, with codes GLD3-EN001 to GLD3-EN050. Every card had been printed before; the most common first printings are Duel Terminal 1 and Magician's Force, with eight each.

Its two biggest groups are nine Blackwing cards, including Blackwing Armor Master and Blackwing Armed Wing, and nine Amazoness cards. The rest is a mix of Synchro-era staples such as Thunder King Rai-Oh, Stardust Dragon and Plaguespreader Zombie.

Eighteen cards are Gold Rares and 32 are Commons. TCGplayer prices the set only as Limited Edition, so the prices here are Limited Edition. No card in it is on the Forbidden & Limited List.

Cards and rarities

Gold Series 3 has 50 set codes, each starting GLD3-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 code is printed at a single rarity, so the rows add up to the set's 50 cards. 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.

Blackwings and Synchros

The Gold Rares most players will know, and the Blackwings that make up a large part of the set.

Stardust Dragon

GLD3-EN037

The Level 8 Synchro that Tributes itself to negate an effect that would destroy cards, then returns in the End Phase. A Gold Rare here.

Blackwing Armor Master

GLD3-EN038

A Blackwing Synchro that cannot be destroyed by battle and places Wedge Counters to drop ATK and DEF to 0.

Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame

GLD3-EN025

When it destroys a monster by battle, Special Summon a Blackwing with 1500 or less ATK from your Deck. A Common here.

Plaguespreader Zombie

GLD3-EN019

A Tuner that revives itself from the GY by putting a card from your hand on top of the Deck.

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 →

Gold Series 3 card list

Every set code in Gold Series 3, in set code order, with each rarity it is printed at: 50 set codes in all, as listed in TurnZero HQ's catalog on October 23, 2026. Each name goes to that card's page, with today's price for every printing.

Playing it

No Gold Series 3 card is on the Forbidden & Limited List as of October 23, 2026, so a deck can run three copies of any of them.

Thunder King Rai-Oh's first effect stops your own searches too, so it fits best in a deck that relies on drawing rather than on cards that add from the Deck.
