LEGEND OF THE FIVE RINGS CCG: CELESTIAL EDITION EXPANSION
The War of Dark Fire is over, and the Empire is yet to count its full cost. In the north, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Unicorn lands lie shattered, ancestral homes in ruins, libraries and stables destroyed, centuries of culture and husbandry undone. At the heart of the Empire, while many still rejoice, troubling news begins to circulate, of villages found empty and lifeless, their crops untended, rotted livestock dotting dead fields. And in the south, on the Great Wall that separates and protects the Empire from the ravages of the Shadowlands, all is quiet, as it has been for over a year now. The new base set for the Legend of the Five Rings CCG, Celestial Edition is introduced in starters offered in 9-count displays, and boosters packed in 36-count displays. (C: 0-1-2)
