Provenance

Where it came from

Island Turtle was released in 2003 as part of the Starter Deck: Joey, a pre-constructed deck designed to emulate the playing style of the character Joey Wheeler from the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters anime. The deck was part of a series of character-themed starter products intended to introduce new players to the game’s mechanics while providing them with a cohesive collection of water, earth, and beast-warrior type monsters.

The card features an illustration of a large, island-dwelling reptile, consistent with the thematic focus on elemental beasts found in early Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG sets. Designed as a level 4 normal monster, it served as a reliable utility card for novices building their first decks. While it lacks competitive viability in advanced formats, it remains a nostalgic artifact of the early 2000s era of the card game.
