Neopets TCG: Battle for Meridell Epansion

Dec 27, 2006

If you don't know what a Neopet is, then you must be new to the planet Earth. These cute critters are all over the 'net and they invaded homes in 2003 with the Neopets Trading Card Game from Wizards of the Coast. The card game lets your Neopets compete against a friend in various challenges to score points and win. Now there are more cards coming out with the Battle for Meridell expansion and here's the 411.

Neopets TCG - Battle for Meridell Basics

The only bummer about the original cards is that they didn't have much info about the world of Neopia. With the Battle for Meridell expansion that problem is fixed 'cuz there's a bunch of stuff about the lands of Meridell including info on the King, heroes, villains, and places to go. There are also more Neopets, items and petpets!

    The Battle for Meridell Neopets card expansion has only one serious problem - nothing has the power of Fyora or Jhudora from the original set. So, players with those cards are still gonna kick your butt. Other than that, the cards are decent.
