From the beginning we made a decision to treat release history with the kind of clarity we would want as collectors ourselves. While most trading card games never publish offer meaningful transparency, we want to build Wondervale differently. Here you will find the official record of every Wondervale release: print runs, edition marks, pull rates, special releases, etc.
Spotted something that doesn't match what you're holding? Tell us and we'll correct the record.
Most card games never publish print runs. We understand why. Print decisions are operationally sensitive, demand can change quickly, and publishers often prefer to preserve flexibility while a product remains active. But, at Tribes of Wondervale, we also believe collectors deserve more visibility than the industry has traditionally offered.
That is why we will publish official print run totals after an edition has gone fully out of print. This approach allows us to preserve flexibility while a release is active, protect the integrity of our supply decisions, and give collectors permanent clarity once an edition is complete.
As the brand grows, we intend to keep our print decisions deliberate, intentional, and aligned with long-term collector trust. That means we print within the range of the major card games, or below it, and we treat rarity as something to protect: deliberate, intentional, and aligned with long-term collector trust.
For us, Wondervale is a game and a collectible universe; the goal is a world that stays meaningful to collect for years to come.
In practice, that means
Every major set releases in three editions, in this order. Each is tied to its own print run, packaging, pull rates and promotions, and each run carries something small but identifiable on the box, the pack and the card.
The micro-release
The first major print
The wide release
Every edition carries a small, deliberate difference on the box, the pack and the card. Flip a card over and you know which print it came from.
How often a holographic hero turns up, edition by edition. Ten packs, the holo packs filled in.
A holo hero in every pack. The most robust pull rates of any edition, and the reason it was a micro-release.
Two to three holo packs in ten. Six of twenty in a Battle Box, two of eight in a Mega Box.
The hardest of the three. The exact rate is recorded here when the edition prints.

One record per edition, written as it ships. A record is only ever added to, never rewritten; the print run total is the last line in, the day an edition retires.
120 Artifacts were released during the initial Founder's Edition launch. Each card came from the development process (before the final print run). Each card was a holographic card. Each character was only released once per group. They were shipped in sealed magnetic card holders with information printed on the sealing sticker, along with a letter explaining the release. The following Artifact groups were released:
Record closed. Founder's Edition will not be printed again. That said, a small number may be held back for future promotion; part of the total, not in addition to it.
Found only in the Collector Case. Each Rare Pack holds exactly one card: a Master Numbered Holo, hand-numbered, in a holographic style printed nowhere else. It ships inside one of the Case's three Battle Boxes, marked with a sticker, to protect it in transit.
Record open. A small number may be held back for future promotion; part of the total, not in addition to it.
Opens the day it ships: release date, regions, identification marks and pull rates. It follows once First Edition has sold out.
