Release information
This card was included in the Base Set, first released in the Japanese Expansion Pack. It was reprinted in the Base Set 2 expansion. It was later reprinted as a Reverse Holofoil promotional card given out at BattleZone events in December 2002 as part of the Best of Game collection. This print has a gold "Winner" stamp in the bottom right corner of the artwork. A Jumbo version of this print lacking the Reverse Holofoil treatment was also released.
A special reprint was included in the Platinum expansion with the same artwork by Ken Sugimori, first released in the Japanese Galactic's Conquest expansion. This print modified some of the card text to bring it in line with modern card wording whilst still allowing it to retain its original effects.
