Anime I Be Newbie. Me Need Help

[ssj3gotenks2003]

Hey everyone. I just started on this whole yu-gi-oh trading card thing this week and have some questions.
Well first off i signed up for that yu-gi-oh card thing run by upper deck the day before yesterday. And then today i bought a booster pack trading tin which included 2 Legend of BEWD booster packs, 2 Metal Raider Packs, 1 Magic Ruler Booster pack. and something called a variant card.
The Variant Card was a Lord of D. But according to what the tin says this card has not come out in any of the booster packs out in America. So I was wondering if anyone that knows the Japanese version knows which card this belongs to. If it helps it has the code BPT-004.

Also the website said something about A Yugioh starter deck and a Kaiba starter deck. The question i have with that is that all the cards in both those decks can be found in the Legend of BEWD starter deck including 24 other cards not included in the other two decks. SO which decks, currently are easier to find: the Legend of BEWD or the other two decks?
Also does anyone know where in the New York City area there is a tournament store. I tried using the locator but it really didnt give me much choices.
TIA

Which is harder to find?
LOB because its out of print.

Really? Because the store I went to had about half a dozen of these tins and all of them include 2 packs each of LOBD and they had 3 or 4 selling indivdiually but those were the japanese versions. I did not see one pack of yugioh or kaiba starter decks.

Huh...In my area, Yugi and Kaiba decks were common as hell...while boosters (ESPECIALLY LOBD) were big-time rare. I've heard about these tins, though...I myself traded for the same Lord of D. you have. (Because it's shiny. =)

BPT-004 simply is short for *B*ooster *P*ack *T*in - Card #4. It's not a Japanese set. They simply made special versions of certain cards to be released with the packs. I'm sure the Dark Magician, Blue Eyes, Summoned Skull, and I *think* two others are also availiable from the tins. (I have Lord of D and Summoned Skull. I traded, did not buy tin. Cannot FIND tins.)

I think, though, Lord Of D was released as a *Secret* Rare in the EX-R booster set in Japan. Same with the Flute. Think about that.

The cards not in the LOB set are:
Lord of D. (Kaiba Starter)
Flute Of Summoning Dragon (Kaiba Starter)
Card Destruction (Yugi Starter)
Soul Exchange (Yugi Starter)

A few others like Change Of Heart are in the decks, but not in LOB. They're in future expansions, and harder to get. (Change of Heart is Ultra Rare.)
