Aquapolis is an amalgamation of the Japanese sets e-Card 2 and e-Card 3, officially named ''The Town on No Map'' and ''Wind from the Sea'' respectively. It is speculated that [[Wizards of the Coast]] wanted to rush out as many sets as they could before they lost their license. It | Aquapolis is an amalgamation of the Japanese sets e-Card 2 and e-Card 3, officially named ''The Town on No Map'' and ''Wind from the Sea'' respectively. It is speculated that [[Wizards of the Coast]] wanted to rush out as many sets as they could before they lost their license. It was at one time the largest set in the history of the TCG, with an impressive 186 cards; including the reverse-holographics and box toppers, it stands at a colossal 340 cards. It has since been exceeded by [[Lost Thunder (TCG)|Lost Thunder]], [[Unbroken Bonds (TCG)|Unbroken Bonds]], and [[Unified Minds (TCG)|Unified Minds]]. | ||
Aquapolis was the first set to separate the holographic cards from the rest of the set; the cards are numbered with an H (H##). This avoided confusion brought about in [[Expedition Base Set (TCG)|Expedition]], where the reverse-holographic counterparts of the holographic and non-holographic rare cards were the same. Wizards did not produce reverse-holographic cards for the holographic rares in this set. | Aquapolis was the first set to separate the holographic cards from the rest of the set; the cards are numbered with an H (H##).
