In this final video from 2011, I open two more Legend of Mana Card Duel Starter Decks in a vain attempt to complete out my collection. After that plan falls through, I show off a small assortment of cards I obtained through auctions and count up how many of each type of card there are. The video ends with a tally of all the cards I was still missing. You can watch the other videos for an explanation of the cards and to see another ten Starter Decks opened.
Again, you can read details about the card game, including the translated rule book and fully translated cards, here.
A special thanks to Sevon (Twitter, pixiv) for the awesome “Card Master Sheexy” art included in the video!
I also put together a Videos page where you can find all of these in one place.

In this video I give an explanation of the amount of each card type found in the Starter Decks while searching desperately for new cards. Two different types of decks seem to exist, although there is no way to tell which is which as far as I can tell. Like the previous three videos, this one was filmed in 2011. Make sure to watch the others if you have not yet for an introduction to the game and to see me open a handful of more decks.

Comments Off on Legend of Mana Card Duel – Starter Deck Opening Video Four – Three More Decks! (Filmed in 2011)
In this video I really start to learn just how hard it is (actually impossible) to complete a full Legend of Mana Card Duel collection using just Starter Decks. Watch as I slowly drift into insanity while opening three decks and obtain a scant few new cards. This video is a continuation of the previous two, filmed in 2011, so make sure to watch them if you have not yet for an introduction to the game’s cards and to see me open a couple more decks.

There is a new video out for the Legend of Mana anime, it’s a Cactus Diary entry. Seems they will do a number of these. Unfortunately it’s all in Japanese, but you can see a few new shots in the video at least.
You can find all of the trailers and videos on the official site, here.

You can now watch the title sequence to the Legend of Mana anime coming out in two weeks! Check it out!
Quite some neat things to see in the video! There are some Jumi we haven’t seen before, which is exciting. I have a feeling the blue guy is likely Sappho, Basket Fish’s friend who gets mentioned a few times in game (and a bit more in the Ultimania guide). Then of course we see Esmeralda’s sisters and Alexandrite (we didn’t technically see them before I guess), and an icy Jumi as well. It’s cool to see the Jumi fighting the skeletons, especially Rubens who we know but don’t know much about! Anyway, we can only hope Basket Fish graces the series, it will really be a shame if Legend of Mana’s most compelling character doesn’t get his time in the spotlight. You can find all of the trailers on the official site, here.

In this video, filmed in 2011, I continued my efforts to complete my Legend of Mana Card Duel collection by opening up another Starter Deck. Make sure to watch the previous video if you have not yet for an introduction to the game’s cards.
I had some misconceptions about the number of commons, uncommons, rares, and holofoils back when I was trying to complete my collection. I have only found three Japanese sites that actually detail the game, and two of them are only card lists! The list I had found at the point of filming this video had some serious errors, leading me to make the wrong assumptions in some of these videos.

Comments Off on Legend of Mana Card Duel – Starter Deck Opening Video Two (Filmed in 2011)
Over a decade later, I finally edited and cleaned up some videos I recorded for the site. In this video I give an overview of the types of cards in the Legend of Mana Card Duel trading card game, talk briefly about Boosters and Starter Decks, open a Starter Deck, and finally sort through my collection at the time.
This was the third Starter Deck I ever opened, the first two being opened in 2004 and likely 2006. This video was originally filmed in 2011, along with a handful of others where I open more Starter Decks.
You can read details about the card game, including the translated rule book and fully translated cards, here.
Of specific interest to this video is the page where I detail the Starter Decks for the game, here.
On the Opened Starter Decks page you can look at the details for all of the Starter Decks I have opened, here. This video goes over the Third Starter Deck specifically.

There is even a specially designed card that Sevon made, check it out below.

Another preview for the upcoming Seiken Densetsu anime, Seiken Densetsu Legend of Mana – The Teardrop Crystal has been released! Check it out below, it’s got English subtitles! It’s pretty exciting to see a lot of these characters. The Heroine, now named Serafina, also appears in the video, but she seems to be interacting with some Faeries, from Niccolo’s Business Unusual 2. Could the two main characters be focusing on different main quests, will she get more involved with the faeries than the Jumi? We’ll have to wait and see, the current release is set for October 2022.
