Everybody loves reprints, am I right? Hello Pojo Readers, Crunch$G back here with another article. Last year around this time I did a Wish List for the Legendary Collection Kaiba after all the hype that received, so I thought I’d do the same for Duel Power since it almost feels like this year’s Legendary Collection Kaiba. This time around we aren’t limited too much to the theme of Seto Kaiba, so we can have more worthwhile reprints with a ton of cards that hold high value and/or are out of print for a while, which is what this set is going for. It also has 40 new cards, which seem to be coming from the OCG’s Link VRAINS Box, Link VRAINS Packs, some Jump Promos, and their 20th Anniversary Duelist Box so I imagine those are the sources for the rest of the new cards. With all that said, I’m going to try and give a list of cards I’d like to see in here as reprints and new cards, I tried to find as many high value cards as possible and Link Monsters that are good, but not so strong where they won’t be selling points for sets, cause we already know the Link Monsters they are using as selling points. With that out of the way, here’s the list of what I’d like to see out of Duel Power. (NOTE: Nekroz cards are confirmed, we just don’t know specifically which ones)

In Conclusion
This set can easily be the best of the year if done right. I might of missed some high value reprints, but that’s because I doubt they were relevant when Konami were looking for cards to reprint in here. The best new cards in this set are going to be the Link Monsters, and I’m expecting some good ones whether we get Crystron Needlefiber or not. Hopefully the rest of the set doesn’t leave us disappointed and hopefully the short printing isn’t that bad.
