Legacy of the Valiant Card List and Set Guide

Overview

Legacy of the Valiant is the first core booster set of 2014, released January 24. Its 100 cards break down into 44 Commons, 4 Short Prints, 20 Rares, 14 Super Rares, 10 Ultra Rares and 8 Secret Rares, with 5 Ultimate Rares and 1 Ghost Rare printed on top of some of those codes.

All 100 cards were new to the TCG with this set. The last ten, LVAL-EN090 to EN099, are cards such as Dark Artist and Mighty Warrior that are listed at the end of the set rather than with the themes they support.

Sylvan gets the most cards, eleven Plant monsters, Spells and Traps built around excavating cards from the top of your Deck. Ghostrick and Bujin get nine each, Gravekeeper's seven, and Gorgonic five.

Cards and rarities

Legacy of the Valiant has 100 set codes, each starting LVAL-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.

The five Ultimate Rares and the Ghost Rare share their codes with a lower printing of the same card, which is why the rows add up to 106 printings for 100 set codes. 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.

Archetypes

Sylvan, Bujin and Gravekeeper's get the most support in Legacy of the Valiant. Each has monsters, Spells or Traps of its own, and Sylvan and Bujin also get an Xyz Monster.

Sylvan Hermitree

LVAL-EN020

A Level 8 Sylvan that excavates the top card of your Deck once per turn, sending a Plant to the GY and drawing a card. When it is excavated and sent to the GY itself, you rearrange the top 3 cards of your Deck.

Sylvan Marshalleaf

LVAL-EN017

When Normal Summoned it excavates 1 or 2 cards and sends any Plants to the GY. When it is excavated and sent to the GY by a card effect, it destroys a monster on the field.

Bujin Arasuda

LVAL-EN026

Special Summons itself from your hand when a Bujin monster in your GY or on your field is banished. In the End Phase, if a Bujin card was added from your Deck to your hand that turn, it draws a card and then discards one.

Bujintei Tsukuyomi

LVAL-EN054

A Rank 4 Bujin Xyz that detaches a material to send your whole hand to the GY and draw 2. If an opponent's effect removes it, it brings back Bujin Beast-Warriors from your GY, one for each material it had.

Gravekeeper's Nobleman

LVAL-EN031

When it is destroyed by battle with an attacking monster, it Special Summons another Gravekeeper's monster from your Deck in face-down Defense Position.

Gravekeeper's Shaman

LVAL-EN033

Gains 200 DEF for each Gravekeeper's monster in your GY and negates every monster effect that activates in the GY except Gravekeeper's. With Necrovalley on the field, your opponent cannot activate Field Spells.

Cards worth knowing

Five more cards from the set, none of them tied to its main themes. Evilswarm Exciton Knight is a Rank 4 that any deck able to make two Level 4s can use.

Evilswarm Exciton Knight

LVAL-EN056

A Rank 4 that, once per chain in your Main Phase or your opponent's Battle Phase, detaches a material to destroy every other card on the field if your opponent has more cards in hand and on the field than you. Your opponent takes no more damage that turn.

Mobius the Mega Monarch

LVAL-EN040

A Level 8 you can Tribute Summon with a single Tribute Summoned monster. When Tribute Summoned it destroys up to 3 Spells or Traps, and if it Tributed a WATER monster, your opponent cannot respond with them.

Shared Ride

LVAL-EN070

A Quick-Play Spell. For the rest of the turn, each time a card is added from the Main Deck or GY to your opponent's hand, except by drawing, you draw 1 card.

Rainbow Kuriboh

LVAL-EN004

Equips itself from your hand to an attacking opponent's monster so it cannot attack, or Special Summons itself from the GY when your opponent declares a direct attack. Each effect works once per turn.

Obedience Schooled

LVAL-EN088

If you control no monsters, it Special Summons 3 Level 2 or lower Beast Effect Monsters with different names from your Deck, with their effects negated. They are destroyed in the End Phase.

Number 101: Silent Honor ARK

LVAL-EN047

Rarity Ultimate Rare

Set code LVAL-EN047

1st Edition market price, October 22, 2026 $44.95

The Ultimate Rare Number 101: Silent Honor ARK (LVAL-EN047) is Legacy of the Valiant's chase card. It was $44.95 on October 22, 2026, ahead of the Ghost Rare Mobius the Mega Monarch at $29.06.

It is a Rank 4 WATER Aqua Xyz Monster for 2 Level 4 monsters. Once per turn it can detach 2 materials to attach a Special Summoned monster your opponent controls in face-up Attack Position to itself as material, and if it would be destroyed by battle or a card effect, it can detach a material instead.

Its Ultra Rare printing shares the LVAL-EN047 code and was $4.85, so the Ultimate Rare cost about nine times as much.

Legacy of the Valiant card list

Every set code in Legacy of the Valiant, in set code order, with each rarity it is printed at: 100 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

One card in Legacy of the Valiant is on the Forbidden & Limited List as of October 23, 2026: Obedience Schooled is Limited.

Sylvan cards work off excavation: many of them have an effect when they are excavated from the Deck and sent to the GY, so the deck runs effects such as Sylvan Hermitree's and Sylvan Marshalleaf's to dig through its own cards.

Gravekeeper's cards lean on Necrovalley, and Gravekeeper's Shaman shuts off GY monster effects that are not Gravekeeper's. Hidden Temples of Necrovalley and Imperial Tombs of Necrovalley are the set's Spell and Trap support for the theme.
