Levia-Dragon - Daedalus

Levia-Dragon - Daedalus was originally released in the 2004 expansion set Rise of Destiny. As a high-level Effect Monster, it was designed to anchor WATER-attribute themed decks, utilizing a powerful board-clearing ability that requires the player to send the field spell Umi to the Graveyard. Its aesthetic, featuring a metallic, biomechanical dragon emerging from the ocean, reflects the transition toward more complex, synergy-reliant monster effects during the early era of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game.

The Hobby League 1 version, designated HL1-EN004, was issued as a participation card in organized play events. These cards were distinguished by a unique gold-colored set prefix and were intended to reward consistent attendance at local hobby shops. While the card retains the original art by Konami’s design team, its Super Rare foiling and specific event-based distribution make it a distinct artifact of the mid-2000s competitive circuit, marking a period when hobby stores played a central role in fostering the game's growth.
