PAST STORIES AND NEW STRATEGIES CONVERGE, THIS HOLIDAY SEASON IN THE Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME!
Hawthorne, Calif. (November 7, 2024) – Winter’s right around the corner, but the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME (TCG) is heating up! Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. (KONAMI) is proud to help you ring in the holidays with three awesome new releases. It’s time to Yule! And this Fall, Duelists are invited to relive the cozy stories of Duels gone by: first, with an incredible all-foil, multi-rarity reprint set that brings the 25th Anniversary of the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game to another level, then, with a classic boxed set inspired by one of Dueling’s most famous story arcs, a guaranteed hit for nostalgic Duel fans; and finally, a new booster set that introduces three new Deck themes! ‘Tis the season to be Dueling, and it all kicks off with one of the most sensational, stunning, and spectacular releases of the year.
Are you ready for the next set in the tradition of Rarity Collection? Quarter Century Bonanza is everything you loved about the Rarity Collection concept, evolved. This new reprint set returns to the 5-card booster pack model of the first Rarity Collection, but instead of 2 Super Rare slots per pack, you’ll find 1 Super Rare and 1 guaranteed luxury Secret Rare – a Platinum Secret Rare or Quarter Century Secret Rare. How is that possible? While the first two Rarity Collection sets each had 79 different cards, Quarter Century Bonanza is a double set with two unique card pools: a 78-card base set where each card comes as a Super Rare, Ultra Rare, Secret Rare, “prismatic” Collector’s Rare, “prismatic” Ultimate Rare, or Platinum Secret Rare; and a 200-card pool of classic cards only available as Platinum and Quarter Century Secret Rares!
Hit the jackpot on November 8 when Quarter Century Bonanza arrives in stores! The complete set includes a total of 278 cards! MSRP $5.99 per 5-card pack.
Looking for something new? Crossover Breakers heralds the arrival of three new monster themes to usher in new strategies. First up, dive down the rabbit hole into a digital Cyber World of madness and mayhem! Maliss <P> and Maliss <Q> monsters serve as your Main Deck Pawns and Link Monster Queens in a grand game where positioning is everything! Place your monsters so the Queens’ Link Arrows point to the Pawns, and the Pawns will grant them special effects, warding off battle damage, banishing monsters, and protecting them from destruction! Each of the three Pawns also command powerful draw and ATK power-up effects, and they all share an ability that lets you Special Summon them back when they’re banished.
Meanwhile the three Maliss <Q> Queens are all Link 3 monsters with huge effects: access your Maliss cards, swap the ATK and DEF of your opponent’s monsters, banish cards from either Duelist’s Graveyard, or banish whatever you want from the field. Better yet, all three Queens have effects that let you Special Summon them when they’re banished themselves, and you’ll score huge bonuses when you do. Oh, and did we mention the Maliss <C> (code) Trap Cards? You can banish other Maliss cards to activate these Trap Cards the same turn you set them! In this cybernated wonderland there truly are no rules.
Dinosaurs, Sea Serpents, and Wyrms unite! The Ryu-Ge monsters are drawn together in a heated conflict of succession: add the Ryu-Ge of matching monster types to your current Dinosaur, Sea Serpent, or Wyrm Decks to take them to new heights, or combine them all into one strategy. Each of the three Ryu-Ge monsters in your Main Deck are Level 10 monsters with Special Summon effects that reflect their type: Special Summon the Sea Serpent when enough cards are sent to the Graveyard; the Wyrm when monsters are banished; or the Dinosaur when monsters are destroyed.
On their own, those monsters are 3000 ATK behemoths with powerful effects that revolve around Ryu-Ge Continuous Spells, custom fit for each one – banish your opponent’s hand, add cards to your hand, or destroy multiple monsters. But played together, and with Ryu-Ge Spell and Trap Cards, they can unleash a MASSIVE 3500 ATK Ritual Pendulum Monster that plucks cards from your Deck to unleash huge, game-winning attacks. It’s up to you how to play them!
If cybernetics and scales aren’t your thing and you’d rather supercharge your Xyz strategy instead, the Ryzeal Xyz Monsters are sparked and ready to go! A pair of Rank 4 Xyz Monsters gain more and more power for every Xyz Material you attach to them: detach the Materials for a quick power surge in the form of more effects, and re-attach Materials to charge them back up! The FIRE Thunder-type Ryzeal Xyz boosts all your monsters by +100 ATK for each Xyz Material on it, and weakens opposing monsters by the same amount. Anytime it’s Special Summoned it gets an extra Material from your Graveyard, and you can detach two from it to add two different Ryzeal cards from your Deck to your hand – even Spells and Traps!
Want even more power? The Ryzeal also have an even bigger LIGHT Pyro-type Xyz Monster with 3000 ATK. When your opponent activates any card or effect, you can use this monster’s Quick Effect in response to detach one of its materials, then target and destroy any card on the field! And you can do it more than once per turn. Each time you Special Summon it you’ll get to attach a monster as material from your Graveyard, and if any of your Xyz Monsters would ever be destroyed, you can detach an Xyz Material from this card instead! Supported with an electrifying lineup of Level 4 monsters and a battery of Spells and Traps, you can add your favorite Rank 4 Xyz Monsters from other themes to amp up the wattage on your Deck.
