Photon Hypernova Card List and Set Guide

Overview

Photon Hypernova released February 9, 2023, with 101 cards under the PHHY set code: 50 Commons, 26 Super Rares, 14 Ultra Rares and 10 Secret Rares, and no Rares. Four cards also have a Starlight Rare version, and PHHY-EN100, Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon, is a Starlight Rare only, which makes 105 printings.

100 of the 101 cards were new to the TCG. The other, Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon, is a reprint from 2022.

Chaos and Gold Pride get seven cards each, Kashtira six and Galaxy five. General cards include Granguignol the Dusk Dragon, Triple Tactics Thrust and Pharaonic Advent.

Cards and rarities

Photon Hypernova has 101 set codes, each starting PHHY-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.

Four set codes carry a Starlight Rare on top of their regular rarity, and Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon is a Starlight Rare only, which is why the rows add up to 105 printings for 101 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.
