The collection consists of seven prints of Champions Festival in English, Japanese, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian. Two special cards were also included in the binder: one featuring the 2013 World Championships logo, and one featuring an advertisement for the 2013 World Championship Decks. Binders were not distributed at Worlds 2014 or 2015, with the TCG players receiving the seven international prints instead presented in a sealed plastic wrapper. Video Game players were awarded three copies of the unstamped prints for participating. Special stamped versions of the English prints were also awarded to staff who helped oversee the event and to the top-ranking players in each division of the tournament. All Worlds 2013 and Worlds 2014 prints of this card are numbered BW95 and XY27, respectively. 2015 is numbered XY91. The only prints to differ are the Japanese prints, which are unnumbered BW-P and XY-P Promotional cards, respectively.
