Konami not too long ago launched Quarter Century Bonanza for the Yu-Gi-Oh! buying and selling card sport. Ever because it was introduced, duelists have figured that the set was actually only a renamed (for an unknown cause) Rarity Assortment 3. This appears to have been confirmed by the mere incontrovertible 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 stated, the set has fairly a bit to supply all kinds of duelists.
Inside there are some improbable staples similar to S:P Little Knight and Triple Ways Thrust in addition to virtually staples like Bonfire. Additionally, the principle 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 assume that Quarter Century Bonanza is an honest set on par with Rarity Assortment 2 and is possibly slightly larger due to the nostalgia pool (jury’s nonetheless out). As soon as once more, I believe the annual tin units have to fuse with the Rarity Assortment mannequin. S:P was simply reprinted within the 2024 tins and other people figured she wouldn’t be in Quarter Century Bonanza and they also had been nonetheless paying $40-50 for her and now you’ll be able to seize a duplicate for about $8. This makes some duelists really feel performed because the tins got here out lower than two months earlier than the official launch of Quarter Century Bonanza.
Let’s speak concerning 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 certain that every card from this pool was a luxurious Secret Uncommon additional rising the worth.
In fact, 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 might be searching for. That one lacking slot additionally means your possibilities of pulling playing cards you need from the principle set is decreased.
I’m very torn on this as a result of I believe there’s a whole lot of “cool” concerning this idea, however in follow it ended up being a small bummer.
All that stated, I nonetheless had a enjoyable time opening up a field that Konami despatched me (big due to them!). You possibly can watch that beneath and I’d love to listen to about your pulls and chase playing cards within the feedback beneath. Nevertheless, I did additionally wish to take a minute to speak about some current 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 a variety of enjoyable methods from the completely 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 believe it’s fascinating that the X-Y-Z monsters utilized by Kaiba and Chazz are getting new assist.
Suppose we’ll get extra alphabet artillery? You possibly can see extra concerning the varied methods being supported beneath.
