This means that buyers have a twofold chance to pull a Quarter Century Secret Rare, Platinum Secret Rare, Prismatic-style Collector&#8217;s Rare, or Prismatic-style Ultimate Rare\u2014the much-coveted \u201cluxury rare\u201d cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Packs in this collection feature a reduction in packaging. On top of the environmental benefits, this means that buyers will need to open fewer packs for the same number of cards. Not only that\u2014since there are thus more cards in each pack, expect around two in three packs to have at least one \u201cluxury rare\u201d card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Approximately one-third of the packs will have multiple \u201cluxury rare\u201d cards\u2014and some could even have up to six!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What to Expect From This Set<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of the 79 cards in this set comes in one of seven different rarities. In addition to the four \u201cluxury\u201d rarities already mentioned, cards in the 25th Anniversary Rarity Collection II may also come in Super Rare, Ultra Rare, or Secret Rare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In particular, keep an eye out for Prismatic-style Collector&#8217;s Rares and Prismatic-style Ultimate Rares. Prior to the release of this collection, such cards would only have been available in Japan. The release of the 25th Anniversary Rarity Collection II thus marks the international introduction of cards of those rarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a breakdown of the cards that come in each pack:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2 Secret Rares (each with an individual 1-in-4 chance of an upgrade to a Platinum Secret Rare or Quarter Century Secret Rare)<br>4 Ultra Rares (each with an individual 1-in-6 chance of an upgrade to a Prismatic-style Collector\u2019s Rare or Prismatic-style Ultra Rare)<br>3 Super Rares<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And a preview of some possible pulls from this set:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Field Spell Cards from the competitive \u201cVisas Starfrost\u201d story Decks: (Primitive Planet Reichphobia, Primeval Planet Perlereino, Pressured Planet Wraitsoth, and Peaceful Planet Calarium)<\/li><li>Rare and highly powerful cards such as Magicians\u2019 Souls and Accesscode Talker\u2014great for collectors and players alike<\/li><li>Cards featuring variant art; these include Rescue Cat, I:P Masquerena, and Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess<\/li><li>Rare versions of multiple tournament staples<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Buying <em>Yu-Gi-Oh<\/em>!
