Market outlook
Stable Outlook 7/10
The base common copy is likely to remain inexpensive due to starter-deck supply, while the holo variant may slowly drift upward if Iron-Blooded Orphans support or Gundam collector interest increases. Without major competitive play demand, the card’s price should be relatively steady.
Next months. Expect the base common to stay near bulk/common pricing, with the holo version retaining most of the visible collector value.
Long term. Over 1-3 years, the base card should remain low-value unless scarcity emerges through attrition or sealed product disappears. The holo variant has better long-term upside and may gradually appreciate if the game grows and starter-deck holos become sought after.
History
Mikazuki Augus is the main protagonist of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, a 2015–2017 Gundam anime series set in the Post Disaster timeline. He is the calm, highly capable pilot of Tekkadan and is closely associated with the Gundam Barbatos and the Alaya-Vijnana system. In-card-game context, this pilot card represents Mikazuki as a core purple-card character for the Iron Bloom starter deck, reflecting his role as the signature ace pilot of the theme.
First released in English in Gundam Card Game Starter Deck 05: Iron Bloom (ST05), with the product release date listed as October 25, 2025.
- Card number ST05-010 identifies it as a starter-deck pilot card rather than a booster-pack pull.
- TCGplayer and official card databases list it as a Common pilot card with Level 4, Cost 1, Purple color, and +2 Attack Points.
- A special C+ Holo variant exists for the same card number, which can affect collector demand and pricing.

Collector notes
Condition. Check the usual starter-deck wear: edge whitening, corner blunting, surface scratches, and centering. Because this is a common deck card, many copies were handled out of sealed starter products and may show light play wear. For holo variants, inspect for print lines, roller marks, and scratches on the foiling layer.
Storage. Store in a penny sleeve and rigid top loader or card saver, especially for holo variants. Keep away from humidity, sunlight, and pressure from stacked sealed product. If holding sealed starter decks for long-term value, maintain original shrink wrap and store upright in a cool, dry place.
Authenticity. Authentic copies should have crisp official printing, proper Gundam Card Game back design, and the exact ST05-010 numbering. Counterfeits are less common for a newer card like this, but buyers should still compare font, color saturation, and card stock texture against known authentic copies. For holo versions, verify that the foil pattern matches official product images and that the card number and set identifiers are consistent.
