Provenance

Where it came from

Gem-Knight Obsidian was originally released as part of the Hidden Arsenal expansion series, designed to bolster the Gem-Knight archetype in the Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game. This particular printing appeared in Astral Pack Eight, which was distributed to hobby stores as a promotional tournament participation prize during the early 2010s to support local competitive play.

The card's design aesthetic follows the elemental crystal-warrior motif established by Kazuki Takahashi's studio for the Gem-Knight archetype. Mechanically, the card serves as a recovery engine for the deck, allowing players to retrieve Normal Monsters from the graveyard. It was well-regarded by competitive players for its utility in maintaining resource momentum during the rapid gameplay cycles of the era.
