Provenance

Where it came from

Thousand Needles was released in 2003 as part of the Dark Crisis booster set for the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game. This set is notable for introducing several powerful archetypes and tactical cards that shifted the game's meta-environment during the early North American release period. As a common card, Thousand Needles was widely accessible to players building decks during this era, reflecting the set's intent to balance high-impact cards with utility-focused monsters.

The card features an earth-attribute beast monster with a distinct effect designed to penalize aggressive opponents. The design aesthetic aligns with the eccentric creature concepts common to the game's early sets, emphasizing a defensive playstyle. While it never achieved status as a competitive staple, the card remains a recognizable piece of the Dark Crisis collection for players who participated in the game during its formative years.
