Nine cost. Ruby Legendary 113/204. Luis Huerta. Storyborn Villain Dragon. DRAGON FIRE on play: you may banish chosen character. Flavor reprints the ninth Rule of Villainy for anyone who missed Anaheim.

This case file is the retail Legendary — pack product, English The First Chapter. The D23 Expo portfolio twin (5/P1, foil, D23 + “1st” stamps, early “opposing” wording on some Expo faces) is a different drawer with its own case file. Same dragon family. Different museum tags.

One PSA 10 First Chapter slab appears in the carousel under this title. Do not wire Expo photography onto a retail page.

  • Rarity within the 204-card English main set: Legendary (113/204)
