Konami just lately launched Quarter Century Bonanza for the Yu-Gi-Oh! buying and selling card recreation. Ever because it was introduced, duelists have figured that the set was actually only a renamed (for an unknown purpose) Rarity Assortment 3. This appears to have been confirmed by the mere proven fact that the set ID is RA03.
The primary two Rarity Assortment units had been RA01 and RA02. I nonetheless don’t perceive the Quarter Century Bonanza title. That mentioned, the set has fairly a bit to supply all kinds of duelists.
Inside there are some improbable staples equivalent to S:P Little Knight and Triple Techniques Thrust in addition to nearly staples like Bonfire. Additionally, the primary card pool and the nostalgia card pool each have nice playing cards from throughout Yu-Gi-Oh!’s historical past serving to folks flesh out decks slightly for varied Time Wizard codecs.
I personally suppose that Quarter Century Bonanza is an honest set on par with Rarity Assortment 2 and is possibly slightly increased due to the nostalgia pool (jury’s nonetheless out). As soon as once more, I feel the annual tin units have to fuse with the Rarity Assortment mannequin. S:P was simply reprinted within the 2024 tins and folks figured she wouldn’t be in Quarter Century Bonanza and they also had been nonetheless paying $40-50 for her and now you possibly can seize a duplicate for about $8. This makes some duelists really feel performed for the reason that tins got here out lower than two months earlier than the official launch of Quarter Century Bonanza.
Let’s discuss in regards to the nostalgia pool briefly. This was a second pool of 200 playing cards which spanned all of Yu-Gi-Oh!’s historical past which is cool and fortunately they restricted it to just one card from this pool in every pack which helped it not really feel too watered down. Additionally, they made positive that every card from this pool was a luxurious Secret Uncommon additional rising the worth.
After all, the issue is that the cardboard pool is very large and in case you purchase a field of Quarter Century Bonanza, you’ll solely get 24 playing cards from the pool. These aren’t nice odds if there are any particular playing cards you’re in search of. That one lacking slot additionally means your possibilities of pulling playing cards you need from the primary set is decreased.
I’m very torn on this as a result of I feel there’s a whole lot of “cool” concerning this idea, however in observe it ended up being a small bummer.
All that mentioned, I nonetheless had a enjoyable time opening up a field that Konami despatched me (big due to them!). You may watch that under and I’d love to listen to about your pulls and chase playing cards within the feedback under. Nevertheless, I did additionally wish to take a minute to speak about some latest Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG information.
Earlier this month, Konami introduced {that a} new Maze set, Maze of the Grasp, would launch on March 14, 2025 (MSRP = $4.49 per pack) with quite a few enjoyable methods from the totally different anime eras.
The one I’m most excited for is the Egyptian and Entice Monster theme for Odion from the Battle Metropolis arc. In the event that they get a glow up like Gate Guardian, then it’s going to be actually enjoyable to play. Additionally, I feel it’s attention-grabbing that the X-Y-Z monsters utilized by Kaiba and Chazz are getting new help.
Assume we’ll get extra alphabet artillery? You may see extra in regards to the varied methods being supported under.
