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 Rares)! 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!

This year’s Battles of Legend set, Battles of Legend: Monster Mayhem, comes with three new surprises! Surprise #1: It’s Time to Chibi! Get your hands on 10 cute-as-a-button “chibi” variant arts of popular monsters. We’ve used the chibi art style on accessories before, but this is the first time it’s been used on actual cards. And just to be clear, these aren’t tokens, they’re fully-playable cards with game text! (Expect more chibi variant art cards in the future!) Surprise #2: Bling Out with Style! Also new in this set – emblazoned Ultra Rares! Each pack of Battles of Legend: Monster Mayhem comes with a Dragonmaid, P.U.N.K., or Orcust-themed Ultra Rare card with a custom emblem for that theme, emblazoned right on the card’s text box. Here’s your chance to bling out these Decks with unprecedented style! There are 51 emblazoned cards total, including 6 brand-new cards (2 for each theme). Surprise #3: Starlights Return! Okay, some people saw this one coming! But the surprise isn’t that Starlight Rares are back – which they are – but that they’re a lot easier to get! Last seen in 2023 as extremely hard to find cards, Starlight Rares will be in Battles of Legend: Monster Mayhem at about the same rate that you could find Quarter Century Secret Rares the last couple years. Not a Surprise: Lots of New Cards! One thing you can always expect from a Battles of Legend set is new cards for your Decks, and always all foil. Battles of Legend: Monster Mayhem has new cards for Nekroz, Gem-Knight, Jurrac, Fabled, D/D, and Magistus Decks, plus a lot more. Also not a surprise, this massive 177-card set has plenty of old – and new! – favorites you might still be looking for (Primite Lordly Lode, anyone?), or wanting to grab as a foil upgrade (King of the Feral Imps has been most displeased by his apparent lack of sparkle).

Unlike its predecessor, Retro Pack 2 was released in the Americas many years ago, but had an extremely limited release, so it was still hard to find. But like its predecessor, we’re making every effort for the cards in the Retro Pack 2 re-release to be as retro as they can be, so just like before they’ll have the original card frames and card look and the original card names and texts. It’s another time capsule from the past! And just like last time, we made a little change, and doubled the drop rate for foil cards compared to the original Retro Pack 2. So it will be twice as easy to get foil cards from Retro Pack 2 (2025 re-release) as it was from Retro Pack 2 (2009 original release).
