This is a ranking of the Yu-Gi-Oh
booster sets
1. Legacy of Darkness- The best set for many
reasons.
It strengthens a variety of decks. LOD
has changed the
whole game and the way people play it.
Unfortunately,
the banned list will make many LOD rares
unplayable.
Other than that it has some awesome card
concepts and effects.
Notable cards: Fiber Jar, Yata, IFL,
Marauding Captain,
Spear Dragon, Exiled Force, Dark Ruler Ha
Des, Drop Off
2. Magic Ruler- Focuses mainly around magic
cards.
A lot of the magic and monsters have good
effects.
MRL definitely impacted the game a lot in
several ways.
The secret rares suck, but many cards make
up for it.
Notable cards: MST, Delinquent Duo,
Confiscation,
Forceful Sentry, Cyber Jar, Mystic Tomato,
Snatch
3. Invasion of Chaos- The newest installment
to come
out. It brings new chaos and beast monsters.
This set
even has some useful rares. IOC has some
really
sought out cards that are used commonly in
decks.
This is a set you wouldn't want to
miss.
Notable cards: BLS- Envoy of the Beginning,
Chaos
Emperor Dragon, Dark Magician of Chaos,
D.D
Designator, Reload, Berserk Gorilla (2000
atk rare),
4. Pharaonic Guardian- PGD has the coolest
theme to
any set. Zombies and
gravekeepers get a lot of
support
now. This set has a lot of versatile cards
that have two
effects or are multi-purpose. PGD introduced
many
game-breaking tournament cards. That is
why it is #4.
Notable cards: Ring of Destruction, Spirit
Reaper,
Don Zaloog, Mirage of Nightmare, Book of
Moon,
5. Magician's Force- This one brings a
lot of new
spellcasters and machines. It introduces
union and
fusion monsters. Even though they aren't
used, the
other really good cards make up for that.
Overall, it
Notable cards: Breaker the Magical Warrior,
Amazoness
Swords Woman, Tribe-Infecting Virus, XYZ
cards,
Skilled Dark & White Magicians,
Magical Scientist,
6. Pharaoh's Servant- Pharaoh's Servant
focuses on
traps, which make up about half of the set.
This set
has unbelievably overpowered cards. The
downside is
that you will have to buy these on their
own,because
PSV is retired and it is hard to get these
cards.
Notable cards: Jinzo, Imperial Order, Call
of the Haunted,
Ceasefire, Goblin Attack Force, Thousand
Eyes Restrict,
Buster Blader, Magic
Drain
7. Labyrinth of Nightmare- Was the hottest
thing when it
came out. It was extremely popular and had
plenty of
strong monsters. With the release of future
sets and card
rulings, LON lost its momentum. There a
couple of cards
that are still widely used in
tournaments.
Notable cards: Magic Cylinder, Torrential
Tribute, Kycoo
the Ghost Destroyer, Fire Princess, Gemini
Elf (the first 1900),
Dark Necrofear, Mage Power, United We Stand,
8. Dark Crisis- DCR was so anticipated,
because people thought
it would be so great. It was a
disappointment. Only a couple of
cards from DCR are used and the rest suck
donkey. The problem
with Dark Crisis is that there is such
a huge chance you'll get
something bad. A lot of the cards are
ridiculously hard to pull off
or find use for. Besides V-Lord and others,
this set didn't do much.
Notable cards: Vampire Lord, D.D. Warrior
Lady, Archfiend Soldier,
Great Maju Garzett, Exodia
Necross
9. Metal Raiders- An awesome set with some
of the best monster
effects ever. However, most of these cards
are commons elsewhere.
There are still some singles worth buying.
This is #9, because it is an
outdated set. It was a HUGE leap from the
set at #10.
Notable cards: Mirror Force, Heavy Storm,
Catapult Turtle, Solemn
Judgement, Barrel Dragon ( cause, it's
awesome), other staples are
10. Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon- The
first set ever to come out.
You will never pull anything good out of
these packs. Avoid buying these.
Notable cards: Exodia and Raigeki
I may not have included every card in the
sets, but that is my opinion.
When Ancient Sanctuary comes out, I will
wonder where to put it. Until
then,
we have these sets to buy cards
from.
Any disagreements? Any comments?
