YU-GI-OH! FOURTH CENTURY BONANZA Opening and MASTER’S LABYRINTH New

Konami recently released Quarter century bonanza for the Yu-Gi-Oh! collectible card game. Since it was announced, duelists have thought that the set was actually just a rebranded Rarity Collection 3 (for an unknown reason). This appears to have been confirmed by the simple fact that the set ID is RA03.

The first two sets in the Rarity Collection were RA01 and RA02. I still don’t understand the Quarter century bonanza name. That said, the set has a lot to offer and a wide variety of duelists.

Inside are some great staples like S:P Little Knight and Triple Tactics Thrust, as well as near staples like Bonfire. Additionally, the main card pool and nostalgia card pool both have great cards from around the world Yu-Gi-Oh!it helps people flesh out decks a bit for the various Time Wizard formats.

Personally I think so Quarter century bonanza it’s a decent set on par with Rarity Collection 2 and is perhaps a little higher due to the nostalgia pool (the jury is still out). Again, I think the annual tin sets should blend in with the Rarity Collection model. S:P was just reprinted in the 2024 packs and people thought it wouldn’t be included Quarter century bonanza and so they were still paying $40-50 for it and now you can pick up a copy for around $8. This makes some duelists feel cheated since the boxes came out less than two months before the official release of Quarter century bonanza.

Let’s talk briefly about the nostalgia pool. This was a second pool of 200 cards that covered everything Yu-Gi-Oh!which is interesting and luckily they limited it to just one card from this group in each pack, which helped it not feel too watered down. Additionally, they made sure that every card in this pool was a deluxe secret rare, further increasing its value.

Of course, the problem is that the card pool is huge and if you buy a box of Quarter Century Bonanza, you will only receive 24 cards from the pool. These aren’t great odds if there are specific cards you’re looking for. That missing slot also means your chances of pulling the cards you want from the main set are slim.

I’m very torn about this because I think there’s a lot of “cool” about this concept, but in practice it turned out to be a bit of a bummer.

That said, I still had fun opening a box that Konami sent me (huge thanks to them!). You can watch it below and I’d love to know in the comments below what you think of your pulls and chases. However, I also wanted to take a minute to talk about some recent ones Yu-Gi-Oh! GCC news.

Earlier this month, Konami announced a new Maze set, Master’s Labyrinthwill release on March 14, 2025 (MSRP = $4.49 per box) with a variety of fun strategies from different anime eras.

What excites me the most is the Egyptian and monster trap theme for Odion in the Battle City arc. If they light up like Gate Guardian, then they will be really fun to play with. Also, I think it’s interesting that the XYZ monsters used by Kaiba and Chazz get new support.

Do you think we will have more alphabet artillery? You can see more about the various supported strategies below.

• 10 new Egyptian themed cards and Trap Monsters inspired by Odion’s Battle City deck!

• 7 new cards inspired by Mizar’s “Galaxy”/”Tachyon” deck from Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL!

• 7 new cards inspired by Kaiba’s XYZ monsters from Battle City and used again by Chazz in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX!

• 7 new “Trickstar” cards inspired by the Blue Angel deck from Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS!

• 7 new “Performage” monsters from Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V!

• Plus, many more! 60 new cards in total to add to your decks!

Overall, Master’s Labyrinth contains 112 cards (the largest of all the Labyrinth sets that worries me) with the following rarity breakdown.

• 6 rare dungeons

• 13 Ultra Rares

• 21 Super Rares

• 70 rare

• Rare 2 quarter century dungeons

• (16 of these cards are also available as collectible rare cards)
