The 25th Anniversary Rarity Collection II is a rapid-fire waterfall of high-powered cards, in seven of the game’s most popular foil rarities!
Last year’s 25th Anniversary Rarity Collection blew everyone’s socks off, so we started work on a sequel right away. In order to get it out as fast as we can, we’ve made some changes to the configuration while leaving all the good stuff (and value!) intact.
25th Anniversary Rarity Collection II packs have twice as many Ultra & Secret Rares per pack, which gives you twice as many chances at “luxury rares” per pack (Quarter Century Secret Rares, “Prismatic”-style Ultimate & Collector’s Rares, and Platinum)!
We’ve cut back on the packaging, so there will be fewer packs you’ll need to open (and fewer foil wrappers to throw away) to get the same number of the cards you’re looking for. (And with double the cards per pack, about two-thirds of packs should have at least one “luxury rare” this time, and around a third should have more than one. You could even get up to SIX “luxury rares” in the same pack, this time around!)
If you missed out on the first Rarity Collection, here’s how it works: Every card in the set is available in every rarity, with 3 ‘standard’ rarities (Super Rare, Ultra Rare, Secret Rare), and four special “luxury” rarities: Quarter Century Secret Rares (celebrating the 25th anniversary with tons of sparkle and a watermark logo!), Platinum Secret Rares, “Prismatic”-style Collector’s Rares (previously available only overseas), and “Prismatic”-style Ultimate Rares (with special 3D varnish, and also available only overseas until recently).
Opening Rarity Collection packs is a rapid-fire waterfall of high-powered cards, in seven of the game’s most popular foil rarities. If you haven’t experienced this all-foil extravaganza yet, you’re in for a treat!
Each pack will contain: 2 Secret Rares (each with an individual 1-in-4 chance of being upgraded to a Platinum Secret Rare or Quarter Century Secret Rare) 4 Ultra Rares (each with an individual 1-in-6 chance of being upgraded to a new “Prismatic”-style Collector’s Rare or new “Prismatic”- style Ultimate Rare) 3 Super Rares
ALL CARDS ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE FIRST RARITY COLLECTION! Here’s just a quick look at some of what you can find:
Hard-to-find tournament powerhouses like Accesscode Talker and Magicians’ Souls!
Silent Magician & Silent Swordsman, available for the first time in eight years! And just in time for the brand-new “Silent” cards coming in April’s Legacy of Destruction booster set.
Cards that will glisten and gleam in your hand as they wait for the perfect moment to seal your victory! Tournament mainstays like Droll & Lock Bird and Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, plus Ghost Mourner & Moonlit Chill and Fantastical Dragon Phantazmay!
The interstellar Field Spell Cards from the competitive “Visas Starfrost” story Decks: Primitive Planet Reichphobia, Primeval Planet Perlereino, Pressured Planet Wraitsoth, and Peaceful Planet Calarium!
Variant art! The “biker” version of I:P Masquerena and the “fierce” version of Rescue Cat will now be available in all 7 different rarities! Plus Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess!
Plus dozens and dozens more!
Whether you’re a collector or a competitive Duelist, 25th Anniversary Rarity Collection II is full of cards that everyone will want to get their hands on!

Power up with the original 3 forms of Yubel, or use the new Continuous Trap Card that lets you Fusion Summon a new “Yubel” Fusion Monster using your opponent’s monsters as Fusion Material!
The tempestuous Majespecters are storming into battle again in Phantom Nightmare! These gusty, gutsy Pendulum Monsters are hard to pin down because they can’t be targeted or destroyed by your opponent’s card effects. Originally there were no “Majespecter” monsters for your Extra Deck, but in Phantom Nightmare you’ll find two: a new Rank 4 Xyz/Pendulum Monster and a Link-2 Link Monster. These new monsters will make sure you’ll have all the “Majespecter” monsters you need, when and where you need them!

Obtain two new card technologies with the 25th Anniversary Rarity Collection!
Coming this November, you can finally get your hands on two new card technologies that have only been available overseas – until now!
The 25th Anniversary Rarity Collection is a spectacular all-foil set with 79 of the game’s most popular cards, each available in 7 different rarities, including 2 brand-new rarities:
Watch as your cards sparkle, shine, and gleam in rarities so luxurious that you will be the envy of every Duelist!
Go into your next tournament well prepared with competitive mainstays that can go in any Deck, like Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, Nibiru, The Primal Being, Effect Veiler, and Infinite Impermanence.
Unlock the full potential of your Extra Deck with game-defining cards like Baronne de Fleur and Borreload Savage Dragon. And fans of the anime will finally get another chance at obtaining the Egyptian God Slime!
And you can add some of the best Spell Cards in the game to your collection and your Deck! Cards you won’t want to miss out on like Pot of Prosperity, Triple Tactics Talent, and Forbidden Droplet.
And in a special twist, the structure of these packs is like nothing you’ve seen before, as each pack has a chance to have 1, 2 (sometimes!), or even 3 (whoa! jackpot!) of the new “luxury rare” technologies. Each pack will contain:
And with every card available in every rarity, you can collect matching copies, or mix and match the rarities of your favorite cards!
You can now wear the strongest Egyptian God on your feet. These don’t seem to include a unique card though.
