Yu-Gi-Oh! Rarity Collection breakdown: Card List, new rarities, Quarter Century drop chance & more

James Lynch

It’s pretty rare that a Yu-Gi-Oh booster set releases with as much anticipation as the Rarity Collection, but, for those more interested in collecting unique and exciting cards, it really is one of a kind.

The set arrives as part of the game’s extended 25th-anniversary celebrations, a period which saw the return of the original Legend of Blue-Eyes White Dragon booster set as a complete reprint. In addition, other iconic sets, including Pharaoh’s Servant, Metal Raiders, Invasion of Chaos & the renamed Spell Ruler, also made a return.

Other recent sets have also featured cards in the new Quarter Century Secret Rare rarity, a full foil card with a similar look to more traditional Starlight Rares. Thus far, Age of Overlord, Duelist Nexus, and the Battles of Legend: Monstrous Revenge sets have all featured cards in this rarity.

Now, the Rarity Collection is also set to introduce other new rarity types previously only seen in Asian releases, and the return of another rarity last seen all the way back in 2015.

The Rarity Collection is unique as a set for the scale of the rarities on offer to players.

The complete list of rarities available is as follows:
