allow carefully planned strategies in the game. Many of the
monsters currently appear on the Yu-Gi-Oh! animated series,
allowing Duelists to create decks and themes seen on
television. With new Fusion Monster support cards, and the
new devastating Fusion Monster, Flaming Eternity is a great
way to kick off the fourth year of the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG.

across North America. Currently, more than 600,000 duelists
are registered in more than 6,000 stores across North
America.
In addition, the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG Collectible Tins were
recently featured as an “All Star” in 2004’s holiday edition
of Toy Wishes Magazine. In recent years, the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG
earned top spots on the hottest Christmas wish lists at KB
Toys, and was listed as one of the most highly sought-after
toys in Toy Wishes Magazine, Business Week, Wall Street
Journal, and USA Today.
The Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG is a product of the KONAMI CORPORATION,
