Card Trivia:Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning


 * This card is a retrained version of "Black Luster Soldier".


 * This is a cover card for Dark Revelation Volume 2.


 * This card is featured on the artwork of "Primal Seed".


 * This card is possibly the rival of "Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End".


 * Both "Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning" and "Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End", have less powerful versions of themselves known as the Sky Scourges, "Sky Scourge Enrise" and "Sky Scourge Norleras" respectively. The Sky Scourges have similar effects and summoning requirements to the envoys as well, although the removal of monsters from the Grave is both Type and Attribute specific.


 * In addition to the Sky Scourges, "Ruin, Queen of Oblivion" and "Demise, King of Armageddon" have effects based on the Envoys, with the former based on this card.
 * "Sky Scourge Enrise" and "Ruin, Queen of Oblivion" both have half the effect of this card.


 * There is also a card called "Chaos Sorcerer" with a less powerful version of this card's effect (though no such counterpart exists for "Chaos Emperor Dragon")


 * Both of the two envoy cards possibly allude to epic poems that tell of heroic knights or warriors fighting against dragons who were portrayed as powerful, but evil creatures in medieval times. An example would be Beowulf when he went to fight against a dragon in his last quest before his death.


 * When Dimitri uses Yugi's deck, he uses "Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning", meaning that Yugi had the card in his deck after the end of the series.
