Yu-Gi-Oh! King of Games Yugis Legendary Decks Holiday Box Set (Gold)

For all fans of the original Yu-Gi-Oh anime and collectors in general: This is the set to get. When I was 8 years old I loved Yugioh and had a number of cards that were unfortunately thrown away, as I was growing up and tidying my room. For a few years now, I've been looking to buy some of my more favourite cards again but couldn't find brand new decks or collections of my favourite cards that weren't really expensive. There are a number of collections out there, e.g. Joey's World, Legendary Collection 3, Gold premium etc which do provide you with a lot of rare cards. The only problem with those is you're only guaranteed 10 specific cards, such as the Blue Flame Swordsman and The Seal of Orichalcos, as well as 4 or 5 token cards, which are a nice addition but are hardly the deciding factor for you to spend your money. If you really desire one or two specific cards; you're relying on good pack luck with those sets (hopefully the heart of the cards will come through for you if you buy those) .When I discovered this collection my inner 8 year old came racing to the surface, I was so excited: All 5 pieces of Exodia, The God Cards, 3 Dark Magicians, including the original Dark Magician artwork and Arkana's Dark Magician from the original series, released in English for the first time. For an old school Yu-Gi-Oh fan; it's the equivalent of saying you've seen Elvis or Michael Jackson live, they're that special. This set contains: 10 special cards and three 41 card decks: Yugi's Duelist Kingdom, Battle City, and Gadget Deck. Each Deck contains 5 Ultra Rare Cards.Duelist Kindom:All 5 pieces of Exodia (Ultra Rare)Black Luster SoldierBlack Luster Soldier - Envoy of the BeginningDark Magician (common - ORIGINAL ARTWORK!!

Although the majority of the above cards are either banned or no longer suitable for tournament play (apparently Xyz Monsters rule the roost now, whatever they are) , this collection is a must for any Yugioh fan, whether that would be for nostalgic or collection purposes (there's nothing to stop you summoning The Winged Dragon of Ra in a duel against family or friends) . A complete set of Exodia (Ultra rare) on Ebay currently costs upwards of £10, so to get Exodia in this collection with 130 other cards for just over £20, as of 08/03/16, is fantastic value for money. If you resold these cards individually, or kept them sealed and sell them a few years from now, you'll be making a tidy profit. There are some duplicates in here; for example there are 3 Kuribohs' in this collection along with some others, but I'm glad they did this. While Yugi's deck alters throughout out the show, there are a core set of cards that remain constant within his deck throughout the programme: Dark Magician, Mirrior Force, Dark Magician Girl, Kuriboh, while others disappear after a while: Summoned Skull, Beaver Warrior, Feral Imp, Winged Guardian.I hope the sales of this product push Konami to release Kaiba and Joey Legendary decks in the future. The prospect of first edition Blue Eyes White Dragon and Red Eyes makes me so happy. Each duelists' decks also alters throughout the seasons of the show, so they could quite easily put together three of their decks into special collections.Thanks for reading, have a good day.

A must have for collectors, 3 decks and the box is beautiful.

Absolutely in love with this product! I watched the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime as a kid, and it was always my dream to own the decks that Yugi used so that I could also be the King of Games. Now, at a price point of only £20, that dream has finally become a reality.The decks themselves are authentic to the show, but you can definitely tell that they would not be the best to use in competitive play. As I only play with my brother, this doesn't bother me - but the Duelist Kingdom era deck is particularly weak as it's geared towards the old style of gameplay, where players were allowed to summon monsters without sacrifices. My favourite is the Gadget deck, as the cards are the most useful and, when played against the Magnet Warrior deck, my brother and I managed to play so well against one another that I was only able to beat him after drawing my last card (cue Kaiba's "draw your last pathetic card" line).The super/ultra rare cards are stunning. Exodia is a delight to look at and play, and the Egyptian Gods are everything I've ever wanted and more. Though they can't officially be used in a duel, I have been using them in casual games as it feels incredible to summon them and - using the abilities that the anime bestowed onto them - decimating the competition. The Token and Duelist Kingdom-specific special cards are a nice touch, too - and the packaging that the decks arrive in is simply stunning.When I first glimpsed the £20 price tag, I was apprehensive. However, considering most decks cost between £7-£9 (or at least they did when I was in my prime collecting days) - and considering you are buying three decks + God cards + special collectors cards + super/ultra rares, I think the price is more than worth it.Overall, whether or not you watched the original series, this item is for you. If you don't want to use Yugi's base decks, then they will at least provide you with some incredibly useful cards to add to your personalised structure decks.

Oh, where do I even start with this. to say I was impressed is an understatement. the whole thing is just beautiful frankly. from the box to the cards this just doesn't disappoint. the cards are lovingly presented, The Yugioh token cards and rare cards are gorgeous, the cards and art work spot on.Basically i love the whole package. I was really impressed with the box to. the design is beautiful, a lovely homage to the Manga's Egyptian root's. I was a massive fan of the anime, which was how I can to the series. I didn't realise it was based on a manga until later. but the show got me into the card game and 20 years on I still have my first edition, first ever deck born from the first starter decks and card's. and as always The Dark Magician was my favourite card, always was, always will be.This King of Games legendary deck's set brings together all the best card's from the 3 main arc's of the show, from duelist kingdom to battle city and more. The game has changed so much over the years that allot of the old cards are becoming more and more redundant (or just out right banned or limited for official tournaments) as the game evolves and moves on but I've always duelled old school and I've found that the best cards aren't always the newest.These decks are a great trip down memory lane AND if you duel to the rules but not the registrations (i.e. in Official tournaments) then these decks can still pack a punch.All in all well worth the asking price :)
