Launched in 1999, the game will have its 25th anniversary in 2024, but Konami has decided to mark these celebrations earlier than expected by bringing back the very first Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game Legendary Collection. Dubbed the Legendary Collection: 25th Anniversary Edition, the set will contain 6 Booster Packs and 6 Ultra Cards, as well as special variant cards of some of the most famous monsters from the Duel Monsters card game. Besides the 6 Ultra Rare cards, which include the coveted original Egyptian God Card Promos, the 25th Anniversary Edition set will include a newly-created seventh card: The Quarter Century Secret Rare! One random version of this bonus card will be included in each pack of the set. In summary, the Legendary Collection: 25th Anniversary Edition will contain:
1 pack of Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon 1 pack of Metal Raiders 1 pack of Spell Ruler 1 pack of Pharaoh’s Servant 1 pack of Dark Crisis 1 pack of Invasion of Chaos 1 Ultra Rare Obelisk the Tormentor card 1 Ultra Rare Slifer the Sky Dragon card 1 Ultra Rare The Winged Dragon of Ra card 1 Ultra Rare Blue-Eyes White Dragon card 1 Ultra Rare Dark Magician card 1 Ultra Rare Red-Eyes Black Dragon card 1 randomly-inserted Quarter Century Secret Rare version of 1 of the 6 aforementioned cards
