Phantom Darkness Card List and Set Guide

Overview

Phantom Darkness is a 100-card set released February 13, 2008, with codes PTDN-EN000 to PTDN-EN099. 99 cards were new; one had appeared first on a sneak peek participation card, according to the catalog's release dates.

It is the first set in this list at 100 cards since the 2004 boosters, and it has a clear theme: DARK monsters that reward you for filling your GY with them. Dark Armed Dragon, The Dark Creator, Rainbow Dark Dragon and Dark Nephthys all count or banish DARK monsters from the GY, and Dark Grepher and Allure of Darkness feed them there.

It also has the three Yubel cards, Rainbow Neos, more Gladiator Beasts and Cyber Dragon support such as Cyber Valley. Ten codes are Secret Rares, ten Ultra Rares also come as Ultimate Rares, and Rainbow Neos (PTDN-EN044) is both a Secret Rare and a Ghost Rare.

Cards and rarities

Phantom Darkness has 100 set codes, each starting PTDN-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 10 Ultimate Rares and the Ghost Rare count again beside their other rarity, which is why the rows add up to 111 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.

DARK monsters and Yubel

Most of Phantom Darkness's best-known cards care about DARK monsters in your GY.

Dark Armed Dragon

Phantom Darkness card list

Every set code in Phantom Darkness, 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

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

Dark Armed Dragon needs exactly 3 DARK monsters in your GY, not 3 or more, so it fits best in a deck that can control how many DARK monsters reach the GY, such as one using Dark Grepher.
