Fullmetal Alchemist Special Playing Cards (Vol. 13 first-print bonus) — look, don’t shuffle

Sep 20, 2026

—

A 2006 Square Enix bonus deck with strong face-card art and a weak playset: buy it as a display piece, not as a table deck.

For you if

You want Arakawa-era character portraits on aces/faces and the two Jokers, and you already accept a cardboard sleeve instead of a proper case.

Not for you if

You want every pip card illustrated, a plastic tuck box, or a deck you will actually deal for hours.

30-second facts

Bonus packed with Fullmetal Alchemist vol. 13 first limited special edition (Square Enix / Gangan Comics), published March 2006.
Special-edition volume ISBN: 978-4-7575-1619-9.
Official contents: 52 cards + 2 Jokers; full-color character cards; Hiromu Arakawa original cards included (publisher copy names Ed, Roy, Yoki among them).
Face cards and aces carry cast art; ranks 2–10 are number pips only.
Sleeve is layered corrugated board, not a standard tuck box. Keep it dry.
