(*) Writer’s Note: This Structure Deck was previously only printed in Japan due to the fact Crush Card Virus was a Shonen Jump Prize card worth thousands and thousands of dollars at the time this Deck would of been printed in the TCG, had it been. One can naturally see why the TCG skipped it in favor of importing the new cards in a major Booster pack.
