Provenance

Where it came from

Pyramid Turtle was originally released in the Metal Raiders expansion of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game in 2002. It was designed as a key support card for Zombie-type decks, specifically functioning as a recruiter that allows a player to summon another Zombie monster with 2000 or less defense directly from the deck upon being destroyed in battle. This mechanic made it a staple in competitive play for years, as it provided excellent graveyard setup and board presence consistency.

The card was later re-released in Dark Beginning 2, a compilation set designed to make earlier, essential cards more accessible to players. As a rare in this set, it retained its original artwork—an imposing, stone-clad turtle adorned with occult markings—which reflects the dark, mystical aesthetic prevalent in early Zombie-type card designs. While it has since been surpassed by more modern support cards, it remains a nostalgic touchstone for players who participated in the game's early competitive era.
