It has been stated that there are no plans for core sets to rotate out of tournament legality.

## History

City was first introduced as one of the original nineteen Terra Pages in MetaZoo’s first core set, Cryptid Nation. For that set, and MetaZoo’s second set Nightfall, the icon used to represent it was from the Game Icons set (second photo). For their third set, Wilderness, and subsequent sets afterwards, MetaZoo used the new icon made in-house (first photo).Template:Cite

In Cryptid Nation, City was one of the Terra featured as a holographic Box Topper for the 2nd Edition print run.

When Wilderness first introduced Special Terra Pages, City received its first Special Terra Page with Overgrown City (City). It then received its second Special Terra Page in Seance, with City of Spirits (City).

Artifact Essences

**Artifact Essences** are a specific type of Artifact Page that have the Essence Tribe and are used to generate Aura. First introduced in the second core set, Nightfall, they are another type of "Aurafacts", similar to Chaos Crystal and its Aura-specific variations. Artifact Essences are characterized by having a single Aura Type, an Aura Cost of 0, a Spellbook Limit of 2, and a Page Effect which allows their controller to Fatigue them to generate 2 Aura, one of the Page's base Aura Type and one of another specific Aura Type. A Caster may only control two Artifact Essences in the Arena at any time, though they may have more in their Spellbook.

## List of Artifact Essences

The following is a table of the possible combinations of Artifact Essences, and those that have been created thus far.

Artifact Essences are sorted with the first column (left side, underlined) in the table being their base Aura Type and the first row (top, italic) being the second Aura Type the Essence generates. Due to the constraints of the table, each Artifact Essence is linked to with their set’s abbreviation to prevent the table from growing too cluttered, and duplicate entries are present.

## History

The first Artifact Essences were introduced in MetaZoo’s second core set, Nightfall. New Artifact Essences were also included in the third core set Wilderness, the fourth UFO, and the fifth Seance, but none were added in Native or Kuromi’s Cryptid Carnival. No Artifact Essences have appeared in any other sets asides from the core sets.

Blocks

A **block** is a grouping of sequential core sets that share a common geographical focus and era.

## Description

All MetaZoo cards sets released take place in a block, though only formal, full-release core card sets are considered a part of the block’s official sets. Mini or special releases, such as collaborations, promos or medals typically utilize the card symbol of the set or block they are released during or with. It is currently believed that blocks will consist of eight or nine core sets and take three to four years to release, though whether future blocks will follow this pattern is currently unknown; MetaZoo creator Michael Waddell has made comments referring to ‘small blocks’ before, indicating that not all blocks may be the same size.

Each block is focused on a particular region of the world, and the cryptids and folklore native to that area. Sets within a shared MetaZoo block may differ mechanically and thematically, with each set typically showcasing a different Aura Type from previous sets, but all sets within a block are set in that block’s region and lore era.

It has been stated that there are no plans for blocks to rotate out of tournament legality.

## History

The first block of MetaZoo sets is Cryptid Nation, which saw its first official set release in July of 2021 and is expected to run until 2023 or 2024. All released sets for MetaZoo have taken place within a block so far.

The next block is slated to be Yokai Island, and is believed to be followed by Grimm’s Kingdom. Waddell has stated that the next twenty years of blocks and sets have been planned out. He has also stated that based upon community feedback, MetaZoo may do Kickstarters once or twice per block at most, and that the Yokai Island block may feature the addition of a new aura, Wind.

## List of Blocks

The following is a list of all current and announced future blocks for MetaZoo, listed in chronological order. The date in parentheses for the block is the year the first set in that block was released.

The Alpha Gator deck was one of the original five pre-constructed Theme Decks released for MetaZoo’s third core set, Wilderness. As with all Theme Decks, it was sold individually in its own uniquely branded, celloprane-wrapped box as an accessible starter product for players, or alternatively in a complete set of all five Theme Decks, depending upon the store.

Its box contained its titular ready-to-play 40-card deck, one duplicate holographic promo of its headliner Alpha Gator, one metallic coin featuring the same Beastie, a copy of the Rulebook, a paper playmat, and one booster pack for the Wilderness core set.

As with all Theme Decks, following its release the deck’s titular promo beastie, Alpha Gator, was added to the Reserved List.

## Card List

The following is a complete list of the pre-constructed Alpha Gator Theme Deck, as it is sold. It does not account for the additional promo, or the contents of the box’s booster pack.

## Gameplay Tips

As this deck contains a reprint of New Beginnings, buying this deck just for those that card may be cheaper than sourcing it individually.
