The YU-GI-OH DUELING HEROES tin is fun but bloated

Konami recently released the 25th Anniversary Tin: Dueling Heroes for the Yu-Gi-Oh! GCC. Inside, duelists will find one of 16 possible foiling Quarter Century Secret Rare promotional cards and three 18-card Mega Packs. The promotional postcards (the best part in my opinion) are the ones pictured on the box itself and include:

• Black magician

• Exodia the Forbidden

• Red-Eyes Black Dragon

• Rainbow Dragon

• Cybernetic dragon

• Elemental HERO Neos

• Stardust Dragon

• Black Wing Armor Master

• Black Rose Dragon

• Number 39: Utopia

• Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon

• Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon

• Paladin of the Enlightenment

• Decoding Talker

• Dragon Firewall

• Salamangreat Flaming Dragon

Meanwhile, each of the Mega Packs includes 12 Commons, 1 Rare, 1 Super Rare, 2 Ultra Rares, and 2 Prismatic Secret Rares. The card pool includes 283 cards in total covering Battle of Chaos, Dimension Force, and other packs from last year. Also includes three World Premiere cards in Ultra Rare: Camelot, Realm of Noble Knights, and Noble Arms; Time Thief Power Reserve; and the double agent SPYRAL. Unfortunately, Konami seems to have killed a lot of the hype for the Dueling heroes pond with the 25th Anniversary Rarities Collection with more staples like Pot of Prosperity and Triple Tactics Talent than in the box and releasing this November.

That doesn’t mean there aren’t good cards to look for. There are plenty of Runick and Labrynth cards as well as fan favorites like Timaeus the Kingdom Dragon and Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon. Unfortunately, due to the size of the set, it’s really difficult to bet on. Konami was kind enough to send me a box to open and you can check out my pulls below. Let me know in the comments what you pulled and which cards you think are the best in the set.
