Yu‑Gi‑Oh!’s TCG fans’ prayers have been answered.
Konami has announced that their upcoming set, Rarity Collection 5, will introduce Extended Art Cards.
“This will be the first-ever appearance of EXTENDED ART CARDS in the Yu‑Gi‑Oh! TCG. Ten popular fan favorites will be revamped with extended art going top-to-bottom and side-to-side on the card, including cards like Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Kurikara Divincarnate, Super Polymerization, and Dominus Purge,” explained Konami.
“These 10 extended art cards will be mixed in with the 58 other variant art cards (samples seen above) that appear in the 5th card slots,” continued Konami.
The arrival of the Extended Art Cards is a long time coming for fans of the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG. Pokémon TCG has long established its Full-Art designs as some of the most sought-after cards in the TCG collecting space. The rise in popularity of the One Piece TCG is also partly due to the iconic brand’s use of full-art designs.
Rarity Collection 5, which is slated to release in April, is only the beginning of Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG’s dive into Extended Art cards. Konami has already teased that other fan favorite Duel Monsters like Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes White Dragon will be receiving the special art treatment down the line.
Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG’s Rarity Collection 5 is expected to feature over 80 cards. You can pre-order the Booster Boxes of Rarity Collection 5 now via the SoleSavy Store.
