Big Three YU-GI-OH! TCG announcements for this summer

Konami recently announced some new features Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG products releasing this summer. First, we have details for a new set of base boosters, Duelist Nexus. This set will bring us new cards inspired by Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D such as Crimson Dragon who makes his way from the anime to the game as a Synchro monster. Inside you will also find new cards for Infernoble Knights such as a new Link-1 Link Monster with 3000 ATK “that can reduce the effects of your opponent’s Spells/Traps to ashes!” Duelist Nexus will also feature new Dinosaur cards such as a new Grenosaurus, Evolsaurs, and Nemleria. Finally, a new World Premiere theme will be included.

To help make it even more fun, Duelist Nexus will bring Quarter Century Secret Rares to base sets. 25 of the 100 cards in the set will be available as this special rarity to celebrate 25 years of Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG. You can grab Duelist Nexus starting July 28 with an MSRP of $4.49 per package.

So, on August 25, Speed ​​Duel fans are falling in love Speed ​​Duel: Streets of Battle City. This Speed ​​Duel box will offer 8 more duel-ready decks featuring characters from the hugely popular story arc, Battle City. There are Mako Tsunami, Weevil Underwood, Espa Roba, Arkana the Magician, Seeker the Rare Hunter, Strings the Quiet One, Yugi Moto and Joey Wheeler who inspired the decks. In addition to the decks, you’ll find eight Secret Rares (24 available total), 20 Skill Cards, a few extra Commons to help you customize your decks a bit, and four 2-player playmats featuring Yami Yugi and Arkana. It should be noted that 2 of the 8 Secret Rares in each pack will be Slifer the Sky Dragon and Arkana’s Dark Magician. Speed ​​Duel: Streets of Battle City will have an MSRP of $29.99.

Finally, duelists will be able to grab the 25th Anniversary Tin: Dueling Heroes on September 8 with an MSRP of $21.99. This box will contain double the Prismatic Dungeon Rares doubled and a bonus Quarter Century Dungeon Rare in each box! There will be 300 cards total for the set from various recent sets like Battle of Chaos, Dimension Force, and more. Each tin will include three 18-card Mega-Packs with each booster pack featuring two Prismatic Secret Rares, two Ultra Rares, one Super Rare, one Rare, and twelve Commons. The extra Quarter Century Secret Rare will be one of 16 monsters decorating the sides of the tin which will feature some of the most famous monsters. Unfortunately, we don’t currently have a picture of the tin, so we don’t know what exactly they’ll be.

I think it’s fair to say that Dark Magician, Stardust Dragon, and Elemental HERO Neos are sneakers.
