Primal Origin Card List and Set Guide

Overview

Primal Origin released May 16, 2014, with 100 cards under the PRIO set code: 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.

97 of the 100 cards were new to the TCG. The other three, Sylvan Cherubsprout, Sylvan Snapdrassinagon and Bujintervention, have an earlier 2014 printing in the catalog.

Artifact is the new theme, with twelve cards: Fairy monsters you can Set in the Spell & Trap Zone that Special Summon themselves when destroyed there on your opponent's turn. Sylvan, Ghostrick, Bujin and Noble Knight continue from Legacy of the Valiant.

Cards and rarities

Primal Origin has 100 set codes, each starting PRIO-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

Artifact gets the most cards in Primal Origin, twelve, including an Xyz Monster and its own Spell and Trap. Bujin and Sylvan get their next pieces here.

Artifact Moralltach

PRIO-EN011

You can Set it in the Spell & Trap Zone as a Spell. If that Set card is destroyed on your opponent's turn it Special Summons itself, and when Special Summoned on their turn it destroys a face-up card they control.

Artifact Durendal

PRIO-EN049

A Rank 5 Artifact Xyz. Once per turn on either turn it detaches to change an activated effect to destroying a Spell or Trap your opponent controls, or to make each player shuffle their hand into the Deck and draw the same number.

Artifact Ignition

PRIO-EN060

A Quick-Play Spell that destroys a Spell or Trap on the field, then Sets an Artifact monster from your Deck as a Spell. If your opponent destroys it, they skip their next Battle Phase.

Artifact Sanctum

PRIO-EN072

Special Summons an Artifact monster from your Deck, and you skip your Battle Phase that turn. If your opponent destroys it, you destroy a card on the field.

Bujinki Amaterasu

PRIO-EN052

A Rank 4 Bujin Xyz for 3 Level 4 monsters. Once per turn it detaches to Special Summon a banished Level 4 or lower monster on your turn, or add one to your hand on your opponent's turn.

Sylvan Sagequoia

PRIO-EN021

Special Summons itself from your hand when a Sylvan monster is sent to the GY, and excavates the top card of your Deck once per turn. Excavated and sent to the GY, it returns a Sylvan Spell or Trap to your hand.

Cards worth knowing

Four more cards from the set. Two of its cards, Artifact Scythe and Number 42: Galaxy Tomahawk, are Forbidden under the current list.

Number 62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon

PRIO-EN040

A Rank 8 Galaxy-Eyes with 4000 ATK. In battle it can detach to gain 200 ATK for each Rank of every Xyz Monster on the field, and its battle damage is halved unless Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon is one of its materials.

Thestalos the Mega Monarch

PRIO-EN035

A Level 8 Monarch you can Tribute Summon with one Tribute Summoned monster. When Tribute Summoned it discards a card from your opponent's hand, with damage if it was a monster and 1000 more if it Tributed a FIRE monster.

Pilica, Descendant of Gusto

PRIO-EN029

When Normal or Special Summoned it Special Summons a WIND Tuner from your GY with its effects negated, and you can only Special Summon WIND monsters for the rest of the turn.

Majesty's Fiend

Playing it

Two cards in Primal Origin are on the Forbidden & Limited List as of October 23, 2026. Artifact Scythe and Number 42: Galaxy Tomahawk are Forbidden.

Artifact monsters do their work on your opponent's turn. You Set them in the Spell & Trap Zone, then destroy them yourself with cards such as Artifact Ignition or Artifacts Unleashed, so they Special Summon and trigger their effects.

The Bujin cards care about banishing: Bujin Hirume is Special Summoned by banishing a Bujin from your GY, and Bujinki Amaterasu brings banished monsters back.
