Obelisk still has the coolest flavor text ever: The descent of this mighty creature shall be heralded by burning winds and twisted land. And with the coming of this horror, those who draw breath shall know the true meaning of eternal slumber.

[@ChaoticMeatballTV]

I really appreciate all of these cards getting the modern card frame and updated PSCT, though I really wish Legacy of Darkness was an included set since it would be very nice to have an understandable printing of Last Turn.

[@DreZato12]

would be great if they made playable versions of the god cards with the unique colour frames

[@cax1175]

But their flavor text is lit

[@mikeyjhilli]

That would be nice.

[@DANCERcow]

This has been like this since they came out! Everyone knows the colored frames can't be used in duels lmao still can't grasp why this was the legendary collection everyone wanted to get reprinted when Dark Revelations 4 exists!

[@hiddenleafbeats]

I think they can’t do this, because if you play without sleeves or with clear sleeves, you could see that it’s a god card on top of your deck, which could give you advantage. But I’m not sure about the sleeve rulings 100 percent.

[@TraaaaaasshBooooaaaatttt]

Tĥey would probably be in the tins lol they haven't shown the next 8 yt

[@HannibalPoptart]

Glad Dzeeff is getting back to his "Pack opening channel" roots.

[@danha3107]

same I missed these

[@Finalras]

I can't even count how many times I looked at Elegant Egotist since my childhood and I never noticed the Faces....mindblown lol.

[@taphy4873]

Fairy meteor crush also has a funny ruling, where if you were to equip to an opponents monster and it attacks your defense position monster the damage is dealt back to them, I always thought it was a funny ruling

[@ultimatemeepo]

As usual the 25th anniversary for OCG is 1000x better

[@Amia_Lily]

Wish they would have used the better arts for the 3 main cards, and for the god cards would have been cool to see them with their effects so we could play them while keeping the original blue yellow red colors

[@DANCERcow]

Why would they do that? This is literally what you got from the first two legendary collection and its first reprint! This is exactly what you all wanted lol

[@cipherwing4211]

Licensing has to do with it I think. Only OCG can use the original art.

[@Wuunderboy]

​@CipherWing that's absolute bullshit, konami can go fuck themselves then. They can't exactly call it an anniversary either because for people like me buying since 2002 and 2003 , the nostalgia factor isn't working without the real artworks

[@rell660]

Won't the boosters coming out in a few months have the original arts? This is okay in my book.

[@Wuunderboy]

@@rell660 doubtful. But hopeful

[@J.A.R.S.]

you just blew my mind witht the elegant egotist one

[@Porygon2ning]

I figured this is how the cards would look like: modern foiling for holo cards, the updated card layout (bigger card illustration, and bigger text boxes compared to the original prints and the 2010 versions). Makes it easy to distinguish the different versions of unlimited editions of cards.

[@Kaiffa93]

Also 2020 konami on bottom

[@HotRed00]

It looks terrible

[@CM-tv2bu]

​@@HotRed00 it looks completely fine lmao

[@Borchert97]

This box is so cool. I’m a big Egyptian God fan so I 100% at least want the three God cards in the new rarity but ideally I’d like to complete the set.

[@ATR-_]

Thanks for making the video! The QCR looks absolutely amazing

[@Varooooooom]

Hearing your short anecdotes and experiences with these cards was honestly so heartwarming.

[@xChaoLan]

technically speaking it's not even a new rarity just a slightly modified version of 10th Secret Rares from the OCG. The key differences are a red name instead of a gold one and a "20th" watermark instead of "25th".

[@overthebarricade7223]

No words will ever sum up the disappointment I had seeing them do this 25th anniversary set without the original arts for the big 3.

[@dimensiondice3854]

Yeah, but at least it seems like the OG Dark Magician art will be included as a Quarter Century Rare in this year's tin, based on the image we have now. Maybe OG Blue-Eyes as well, we probably don't know all the promos yet.

[@KinzokuDrummer]

Same, I don't know why Konami love defaulting to these artworks when they're easily the worst ones

[@RTU130]

True

[@CeziHD]

@@KinzokuDrummerstraight facts, they won‘t even give us the full nostalgia for the 25th in the tcg .. kocnamiblock

[@austintoney]

I agree with you personally, but I can see a reasoning. This was basically a copy of the 2010 legendary collection, so they used the same artwork from the promo cards in that box. It's basically a carbon copy, minus the gameboard and add a quarter century secret rare.

[@kennedyb.gayming9954]

>brand new exclusive rarity for blue-eyes >its the tablet art again

[@mathias4008]

That new rarity is really sick man! Keep up the vids!!!

[@Ehrle6969]

Old foiling looks better, this new Looks very cheap. Also the cards looks brighter

[@HotRed00]

The new cards look terrible

[@irrelevanthero7410]

It wasn't until watching the generations being opened one at a time where I really saw how quickly the power creep ramped up in old YGO. From 1000atk 4* monsters to 1900 4* in just 4 generations. Cool trip down memory lane. I hope I can get at least one of these collections at launch.

[@kish45]

I’m probably getting maybe three or four of the legendary collection and a few boxes of the individual classic sets mainly Metal raiders and LOB.

[@jamessimbolon3887]

You know if you think about it this really has become a pack opening channel… I mean master saga, master roulette, this, all involve opening packs and the discussion vids have taken a back seat. Nothing wrong with this but it is funny

[@ShadowyNeko]

Woaho! I smirked big time seeing that Winged Dragon - Guardian of the Fortress pop up :D my favorite of all yugioh cards

[@CharlesRichardson-dv8po]

How will you be able to tell the difference between this print and the og print? Or can yo not?

[@EvilMyself]

Wow looks like Team APS could've made their rare hunters series quite a bit cheaper if they started now

[@Sunsaparilla]

Relinquished, Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon, and Century Rare Ra are the three cards I really hope to pull and you got two of them!

[@zerotalent297]

Cyber dragon's original (JP) name is cyber dragon while cyber saurus is mecha saurus so it's not legally a part of the cyber archetype.

[@chaserseven2886]

why are they referring to rarities as "technology" sounds weird

[@netcat22]

How would you describe it then??

[@zerosystem00]

I have been playing this game for years and only now found out elegant egotist had a harpie lady on it 😅

[@benl2662]

I am thinking of buying 2 of each of the reprint boxes and then buy random packs to see what decks I can build

[@TheChowderr]

The Celtic guardian format joke never fails to get me lmao

[@JoordyDreaming]

Okay This is a sick Box I might need to get!

[@ThisWeekNerdStuff]

Ahhhhh The QCR card looks #AMAZING!! Really the only reason to pick up one of these. 8:17 just gave me strong Duel Links PTSD vibes lol 😅

[@oliverbehrer5252]

Why do i feel like the same anniversary set come out years ago

[@jakhar5]

It did. 2010.

[@oliverbehrer5252]

@@jakhar5 ahh i see i knew i was not crazy thx xd

[@BeanMagoon]

the updated foiling on these old cards actually look fantastic!

[@FloundBlacky]

no, no it doesnt. Its the same print quality of the last couple of years and thats not even close to how good it was back in the day. I dig the starlight/quarter century god cards though

[@Ehrle6969]

Its looks trash,2002 foiling was best

[@akinari-jn1hu]

Pretty exciting!

[@Mezuisu]

That was a lot of holos. Was that luck, or did they change the ratios on the packs?

[@sallas09]

I know it’s wishful thinking, but I really hope they were nice enough to print errata’d cards with their original text, maybe with a disclaimer on them saying that those effects are not legal in the current game. Because, maybe it’s just me, but I feel like it’s gonna feel real bad to pull a secret-rare CED and it has its awful nerfed abilities.

[@JakeLikesJoking]

Just use the old ones then, simple solution.

[@thorscape3879]

Just play the original IOC CED. Problem solved.

[@felixbro1225]

​@@JakeLikesJoking let oldschool sets be oldschool, if you want a errata'd make some reprints in new sets. Problem solved without messing with oldschool players.

[@Gallagher_meme]

Intern: sir, what special treatment do you want out 25th anniversary iconic Yu-Gi-Oh cards to look like? Konami: remember all the early 2000's bootleg cards? Intern: yeah the ones you could buy at any dollar store? Konami: yes that

[@zaleww5824]

Having reprints of these is nice but not as a 25th year anniversary. Tbey should have just reprint stuff that didn't reprinted since forever like fluffal penguin

[@Gallagher_meme]

@@zaleww5824 ghost rare substitoad

[@ismailgudic8314]

Yea, this feels like a scam

[@homecomin]

We finally get this rarity! I actually own a few OCG cards just because of this. It's really cool to see them finally in the TCG. Let's hope they don't just keep them for this set (even if they probably will)

[@Diwalia]

Good news, they’re also including it for some cards in the 2023 megatins!

[@homecomin]

@@Diwalia That is really cool to hear, thank you!

[@TheWildNorseman0803]

Also that trunade was a foil shift!!

[@TempRawr]

Funny to hear ultra or higher rarities with these old cards

[@hombojimbo]

Finally, the best pack opening channel has returned.

[@zemat762]

idk if it's me or that blue eyes 25th anniversary looks like it got cut really bad, the border on the right side seems really thick to me

[@GoodraFTW]

Wow! This is my favorite pack opening channel! 👍

[@potatoexe5410]

12:13 Ah yes the sacred text of Penguin Knight uniting the grave and deck to form a new deck

[@minabasejderha5972]

My only criticism of this product is the pack selection. I wish it had either been the first six, meaning including Labyrinth of Nightmare and Legacy of Darkness instead of Dark Crisis and Invasion of Chaos -OR- including Dark Beginnings 1 and 2 instead of DCR and IOC -OR- if it had been 2 packs each of the first four sets. If they had done any of these, then it would have been a perfect product for draft/sealed play, and an excellent product for teaching your friends. The fact is, Yugioh changed a ton as a game between PSV and DCR. Monster effects became more important, power one-of spells became way less common, archetypes (in a very early form) emerged, and the power level of the game spikes dramatically in IOC. So these six packs produce a really uneven power level and thus would make the decks you build really uneven as well. And I don't even say this as a particular fan of this first, early era of Yugioh. An ideal product for me would be LON, LOD, PGD, MFC, and DCR, since that is my favorite period. I just don't think those are the best set of packs to start on as a new player, though they could be combined into a pretty good draft set for Intermediate players.

[@sirswagabadha4896]

Thank you mister dog thief, these look dope

[@Neopumper666]

Dude youre second Spell ruler pull was almost IDENTICAL to one of my pulls from Magic Ruler back in the day, I jumped out of my seat in excitement!

[@azzaelulbrinter]

Fun fact, reaper of the cards attack and defense is a secret messege on japanese.

[@geraldsinger9954]

Back in 2010, when I got the binder version, I obtained The Right Arm of the Forbidden One. From the Legends of Blue Eyes pack.

[@Noname-eg6xm]

Really hoping to see the quarter century rares in the booster boxes

[@ryuuohdeltaplus7936]

The quarter century rares are only for the 6 promo cards.

[@Noname-eg6xm]

@@ryuuohdeltaplus7936 that u know of as of now. I fully expect something to be in the booster boxes.

[@blastfire21]

The new foiling looks like a nicer version of the fake cards your friend Mike would use in second grade that had like 3333 atk and no defense value.

[@thorscape3879]

Everything pre-IOC really was 90% pack filler.

[@tsundude4320]

I'm glad he didn't explain what pot of greed does.

[@billmcguire3887]

2:17 Why would you not explain what these cards do?

[@Ronald_Ruck]

Are the cards from the booster marked as re-prints?

[@duelistemissary7680]

Yeah, you can see the silver foil on the bottom It doesn't matter either way, since they have the modern card layout too, so you couldn't get them confused with older cards anyway

[@stev4v]

Red Moon Baby was on my first pack… before he was a Vampire

[@NoahO_TCG]

Almighty dzeef. Lemme get those thunder dragons

[@kitetsukra7751]

Why wouldn't they use the Kaiba BEWD artwork? :(

[@kclink1579]

Can't believe you went past Baby Dragon like it was nothing.

[@Linkiscool115]

Hopefully with these reprints, Dimension Fusion will be cheaper so I'm able to get them again since my stuff was stolen.

[@KillerKeeton]

The new rarity reminds me of how the yugioh GX cards from McDonald’s looked

[@XxHygherUpxX]

when does this set get released

[@SilentNightBodomNight]

Is it me or does the print quality seem more modern and less colored toned than the originals were?

[@DarkSoul-il1sg]

I haven't spent a dime on master duel, but if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have spent $240+ bucks this year on TCG cards. So Konami if it's good, somehow you are getting my money

seeing the ufo turtle pull gave me flashbacks to the kid getting otk'd hahaha

Of course he gets by FAR the best Quarter Century Rare. That's my favorite pack opening channel for ya.

Ah yes, back to where it all began, when this channel was but a wee pack opening channel.

[@sparkplug2356]

Not a bad way to reprint these older cards in the newer layout, I'd say. With bigger pictures and card frames than the originals

[@TheGuyWhoIsSitting]

Kind of a bummer that it’s all the unplayable versions of the god cards. Ruxin opened a cool OCG product that I hope we get. But we probably won’t…

11:35 Because a meteor pierce the earth.

[@jimthekidd]

They fumbled the bag not making everything holo In these packs and a chance at a quarter rare so the boxes were more worth opening. Basically this is mainly a seller/idiot collector set. Theres not much reason to collect stuff that's the same as the stuff already In your binder

[@Ulooklikekeith]

Earned my sub for answering my number one question about this reprint and unfortunately it’s not what I wanted to hear The pack format still has a rare or foil and not both Laaaaaaaaame Not buying this or the reprint boosters as the consistent crap pulls were my least favorite part of old packs as a kid Big oof but good vid thank you

[@ralphkeen166]

holy fuck that first box was rough

[@zeusthagod2698]

Lets rack up these analytics

[@fgregerfeaxcwfeffece]

Just to get a better point of reference: "Pot of Greed" (+Giant Trunade, Graceful Charity) is considered: "Oh my god, we really messed up balancing back in the day." Correct? Meaning those boosters can contain YGO's equivalent of MtG's power 9 and they don't cot an arm and a leg and contain the 6 most iconic monsters of the show guaranteed. Is this correct? Just wanna gauge how badly WotC hates the players compared to Konami.

[@niklask.4050]

Well yes, but actually no. The cards you mentioned had quite a few reprints and are therefor not that expensive at all (and are also banned, so no use for modern play). Same with the 6 monsters, of which 3 (the egyptian gods) are not legal to use (these copies are more like proxys). The exact same product also was already pulbished once in 2010, so they really didn't do anything new here, not even concept-wise. That said it is still way better than what WotC did. It is affordable and nostalgic with good print quality. MTGs 30th anniversary is just a middlefinger to the community.

[@andyschmidtchen494]

Dzeeeeef ❤

[@TheGamingPanda20]

Quick question for the YUGIOH community - I recently started sorting my old cards and came across a Giant Rat misprint card that says "Witch Of The Black Forrest". I tried to do some research but was struggling to find many examples. Just curious if anyone knows how rare this is and is it valuable. It's from the DB1 set if this helps. Thx

[@obitodmg5694]

Try to ask ghezziTCG, he knows a lot about old stuff

[@adam9279]

You sure it's not a fake?

[@jimzh7669]

Might be worth something I've seen trap holes misnamed as fusion gate go for 5 dollars so it depends if people want it at all

[@matthewbrogdon2335]

These were a common name misprint with whichever tin included DB1 (either first or second wave after BPT). Strictly Sealed has a video discussing this. Sold listings for the same type of DB1 misprint avg at around USD 50-100
