Cryptid Nation: Base – 2nd Edition

MetaZoo Cryptid Nation Logo

INFO & CHANGES BETWEEN 1ST EDITION
  • Available for purchase starting Dec 31, 2021 first to NFT owners on the MetaZoo Marketplace. These booster boxes also came with special blue stickers indicating that they were purchased by an NFT holder for $99, which is $40 below MSRP.
    • Orders opened up for everyone else in January 2022.
    • Pre-orders opened up for some verified venders and LGSs sometime around mid-December.
    • Exception to the rest, some CN2E product was available for purchase at C2E2 to event-goers in mid-December, and one of every product from the CN2E SKU was gifted to a lucky fan during a live Twitch stream that was ran by MetaZoo Games in mid-December as well.
  • There is no 2nd edition Red Ink secret rare.
    • A new secret rare has been introduced. Turns out, it is a Blue Ink. It was shared for the first time on the MetaZoo Discord server on or around January 1, 2021. Here it is:

  • An exclusive Cryptid Nation 2nd Edition product will be made available in Walmart’s across the US.
    • This product will feature 3x CN2E booster packs and 1x Walmart exclusive promo card. This is the first MetaZoo product to ever be sold in Walmart. It’ll be available in over 4,000 Walmart’s across the United States. Here is a look at said promo card which was leaked for just a split second in the Dec 16 MetaZoo Hour:

  • The Booster Box Boxtoppers (which is where the secret rare card is found) come with beautiful full-art holographic Terra cards this time around. Here’s one of them:

  • The holographic aura cards from Spellbooks in CN2E are set numbered X/159 instead of X/10 like they were in CN1E.
  • Other than what was mentioned above, the main set cards look almost identical to Cryptid Nation: Base Set – 1st Edition, except you may notice that the 2nd Edition cards are a bit more bold in its colors.
  • I will not be spending the time to upload individual images of CN2E cards because they are nearly identical to CN1E cards with the exception of the stamp being 2nd Ed rather than 1st Ed, and the colors being more bold.
  • Mike announced in the MetaZoo Discord server on Dec 26th that CN2E will have a print-run of 62,500 per SKU for the United States. He also stated that Nightfall had a print-run of 50,000 per SKU; with new information being 40,000 of those were distributed across the US, with the other 10,000 being distributed across the rest of the world’s distribution partners. Knowing this, I am making the assumption of the full print-run for CN2E being 75,000 worldwide; which is a lot less than many were estimating. Estimates of 100k-250k print runs were floating around. This would put the full print run for Cryptid Nation Base Set (CN1E & CN2E) at exactly 100,000 per SKU.
