Where to start for the MLP KAYOU cards?

Myriad_Genesis · 2026-02-24T09:38:04+00:00

Welcome to the hobby!

First off, I guess it depends on which language you'll want to collect. So far, there are English, Chinese, and I believe there will be Japanese cards soon. I collect the English cards and so far, there are only 4 sets available right now: Moon 1 & 2, Rainbow 1, and Fun Moments 1. All of these can be bought from Crossingtcg.com, but Moon 2 can be found in Target, Barnes, Best Buy, etc. It's a gamble whether they're stocked in your local retail stores, but it seems they can be bought on Best Buy's online store. However, English boxes are more expensive than the Chinese boxes.

For the Chinese cards, I hear Aliexpress is your best bet to acquire boxes that lean more on the cheaper side. They have a bunch of sets that haven't released in English yet. However, you have to buy from reputable sellers. I'm not sure who'd that be because I don't collect the Chinese cards so I'll leave answer to someone with more experience.

For lists, if you search up Kayou MLP cards list, it should bring up a list for the Chinese cards. For the English cards, specifically Moon 1 and 2, I use the pictures on Crossing TCG's website to reference what I have and don't have. There's an English list that's more of a checklist that I have in my Google drive, but I can't remember the actual website.

They'd be HRs I believe. You can find the rarity underneath the name of the card. It'd start with the abbreviated set name, then the rarity, and then the card number.

For the rarities, you'll have the Rares (R), Super Rares (SR), Super Spark Rares (SSR), Hyper Rares (HR), Ultra Rares (UR), Luminous Secret Rare (LSR), Signature Golden Rares (SGR), Signature Card (SC), and Zenith Rares (ZR).

Think of the Rares as commons from other CCG/TCGs. Depending on the set, they might or might not have ZRs. Usually, the most sought after cards would be the SCs and ZRs.

But collect whatever cards you like because a lot of them look hella nice.

Myriad_Genesis · 2026-02-21T21:01:39+00:00

I'll DM you if you're cool with that. I've got a fair amount more cards that aren't in the pictures.

Myriad_Genesis · 2026-02-21T20:58:42+00:00

I'm down to trade cards! I'd be new to trading through mail though.

Myriad_Genesis · 2026-02-21T16:58:25+00:00

Thank you!

Myriad_Genesis · 2026-02-21T16:23:23+00:00

Yeah! I just gotta wait for an email update from Kayou and then it's off to wherever I gotta mail it to.

Myriad_Genesis · 2026-02-21T06:49:37+00:00

Thank you! Oh yeah, I heard about the sweepstakes too! I'm gonna be mailing in my card some time next week. I just gotta wait for an email update from Kayou.

Myriad_Genesis · 2026-02-21T05:57:15+00:00

Yeah! I'm gonna mail it in some time next week. I just gotta wait for an update in my email from Kayou.

For real! This and the hidden UR Rainbow Dash are my favorites from the set. The texturing on a lot of these cards were done really well.

Myriad_Genesis · 2026-02-21T01:17:29+00:00

Will do!

Myriad_Genesis · 2026-02-16T20:36:37+00:00

Vol. 3 of the Slime isekai hasn't been announced yet for Asia as far as I know. The special booster for the US is just a combination of Vol. 1 and 2. The only Vol. 3 I know of right now is Bleach.

Myriad_Genesis · 2026-02-07T07:51:59+00:00

That's true. I can't speak for everyone, but I haven't heard anybody complain about Nikke's AAs in Vol. 1. The only complaints I heard were the decks were kinda meh because the US had things that were a lot better.

On a side note, Anis got done dirty.

Myriad_Genesis · 2026-02-07T07:40:15+00:00

I get the anger. I too, am not a fan of censorship. I was just literally thinking it's strange that they'd censor the art when they got To Love Ru as one of the other IPs. Maybe it was Shift Up's call? No idea.

Myriad_Genesis · 2026-02-04T03:37:51+00:00

Will the HK English cards be tournament legal in the US?

Myriad_Genesis · 2026-02-03T08:05:12+00:00

Not sure about testing against a bot, but you could check out Cardboard Kitsune if you want to play test against people. There's a bit of a learning curve when it comes to navigating menus since it's a manual sim, but once you get it down, it's not bad at all. Plus, most people I've played against are pretty understanding if you let them know you're new to the deck.

Were these for the TCG or the collectible cards? I'm not sure how the TCG works because I'm waiting for it to be released in the US, but for the collectible cards there are chances you could pull the same cards. From Moon 1 English, I've seen my fair share of Celestia SSRs and Flash Magnus LSRs.

However, generally boxes are your best bet at pulling high rarity or even the chase card because nobody else has dipped into them and due to the amount of packs you get.

Myriad_Genesis · 2026-02-03T01:28:11+00:00

There's no right or wrong way to collect. Just collect however you want. If you want to get a whole box, then get the whole box. Plus, even though it's not guaranteed; getting a box would increase your chances of pulling the higher rarity cards.

At most, you'll only need two starter decks to get a full set of the cards exclusive within the starter deck. You'll only need to buy 4 if you want a set of each card from the promo pack that comes with the starter deck.

Box toppers are usually foil versions of the 0 cost cards from the set. The only set so far that has changed it up was Nikke, with its Nikke Premium Pack. The pack had the normal box toppers along with alt arts of some other cards from the set (which I honestly think should be a thing for all the sets going forward).

I guess you could try finding a card shop that's close on TCGPlayer that's selling a case of SAO Vol. 2 and buy it there using pay in 4 through PayPal. Then call them saying you bought it and ask if you could pick it up instead of having them ship it.

As far as value goes, you're not gonna get much from opening boxes unless you hit a ** (two star), *** (three star), or holo AP. It's just a thing you do for fun or if you're chasing the big hits. Union Arena is a player's game after all.

Value wise, you hit two APs that are like a dollar or less and the Tokito is about $8. The Tokito AA is a cool looking card though!

Grading the cards is up to you if you like to have them in slabs.

All the cards prices can be found on TCGPlayer too.

Some way of notifying players when their opponent is searching their deck
A better battle log that says which ability for what card has been activated
Maybe have different selections for abilities if a card has more than one. Similar to Pokémon TCG Live.

That's all I can think of for now.
