A Rent's Worth of Cards
This meta-warping starlight is the newest addition to this list, despite its "little" size
S:P Little Knight
"The ultimate wizard in terms of attack and defense"
Dark Magician
This "quicker" way to duel revolves around only having 3 monster and spell/trap zones and duelist-specific "skill cards"
Speed Duel
Saved by one generically good rank-4 xyz, this deck barely ever saw competitive play. Maybe they should go back and "re-do" this one
Time Thief
Released only 2 months ago, this absolute banger of a set brought so many great reprints, and so many different shiny patterns on the cardboard we love.
Rarity Collection
One of Yugioh's most beloved monsters ever, this Ghost Rare was the chase card of a quite "haunting" set
Dark Magician
"A new Elemental Hero has arrived from Neo-Space! When he initiates a Contact Fusion with a Neo-Spacian his unknown powers are unleashed"
Elemental Hero Neos
Also known as Yugioh's most popular secondary format, this blast from the past revolves around a time before xyz and links, and where Blackwings reign supreme
Edison Format
Seeing occasional play as a small engine in much better decks, this archetype was introduced and then subsequently shelved after the release of Phantom Rage. Let's hope this deck can somehow "mutate" itself into something playable
Myutant
introducing the legendary "Spright" and "Tearlaments" cards, this set was also notable for providing some of the best legacy support ever printed to tons of other archetypes that desperately needed it.
Power of The Elements
This meta-warping insect's highest rarity print from 2014 is going to cost you an arm, a leg, and your sanity
Maxx "C"
"Finally got to visit that harbor specializing in Gunkan Suships that I've been curious about for a while! The premium "Shari" here is limited to 2000 Suships a year, and uses specially developed smooth aged rice, giving it extra boldness not found anywhere else. The classy atmosphere made my heart sing, too. The Gunkan Suship served had a perfect balance of vinegar, nigiri, shine, and shape, demonstrating exquisite artisanship. The owner told me, "We are introducing rich yet mellow scented EDO-FRONT red vinegar in the near future," which I'm really looking forward to. However, I was disappointed the surrounding seas were a little noisy... so, giving it 4 stars with hope for improvements in the future! "
Gunkan Suship Shari
A rising contender in popular secondary formats, this pre-2020 format was a battle between the four strongest decks at the time: Sky Striker, Orcust, Thunder Dragon, and Salamangreat
TOSS format
A small series of cards that debuted in the 5D's era, this archetype got one of the greatest - and most expensive for a while - generic level 10 synchro monsters to ever be introduced into the game in Legendary Duelists: Synchro Storm
Fleur
One of the most impactful sets of all time, this pack introduced the world to pendulums, Burning Abyss, and Shaddolls. Not to mention, it changed the way that Yugioh was going to be played forever, going from a slower, less combo-heavy game to a balls-to-the-wall combo fest that we still see today.
Duelist Alliance
Though not as expensive as this card's name might suggest, this dragon was released to commemorate the printing of 10,000 unique cards
Ten Thousand Dragon
"Jerry, a bean soldier, believes he is the strongest warrior in the world, but his true abilities are still untested."
Jerry Beans Man
Regarded by yugiboomers as "the best period in Yugioh's history", this (slightly) pre-GX era is named after one of it's most prevalent cards: Scapegoat
GOAT format
A failed ritual archetype that was introduced in 2017, these ravenous creatures' lore is more engaging than their play style, thanks primarily to its inspiration - the Spawn series
Vendread
Still keeping up the idea that green-colored sets are some of the best in Yugioh history, this core set introduced the world to some of the most broken and powerful cards ever printed. These include Forbidden Droplet, Fallen of Albaz, Triple Tactics Talent, and Nadir Servant to name a few.
Rise of The Duelist
One of Yugioh's most famous misprints, this "Chaotic" fusion Hero's name was replaced by "Rainbow Dragon", but only in Ghost Rare
Elemental Hero Chaos Neos
"Check THIS out!"
Mekk-Knight Avram
One of the cheapest formats available to players, the cardpool is limited to only cards that were printed in common
Common Charity
Dream Mirror
This small and not very collectible set was the third in the series responsible for finally bringing a draft format into the game. Although released in 2014, you can still find booster boxes to draft from today for CHEAP!
Battle Pack 3: Monster League
