10Gold Sarcophagus (Quarter Century Secret Rare)
Market Price: $29.84
Gold Sarcophagus isa classic card from Yu-Gi-Oh history. It depicts the original puzzle box that contained the Millennium Puzzle from the anime. It allows you to banish one card from your deck face-up. Then, you can add it to your hand two standby turns later.
While getting that card into your hand in two turns can seem like a long wait, being banished face-up makes all the difference. This allows cards with trigger effects when banished to immediately take effect.
9Pressured Planet Wraitsoth (Quarter Century Secret Rare)
Market Price: $29.89
Pressured Planet Wraitsoth is a must-have for Kashtira-centric decks. This field spell allows you to search for a Kashtira monster from your deck and add it to your hand.
If you have a Kashtira Shangri-Ira, you get even more value. If it activates its effect, you can use this card to target one card on the field and destroy it. This can help you force your opponent to use up their negates or even help clear the board.
8Unchained Soul Of Rage (Quarter Century Secret Rare)
Market Price: $29.95
Unchained Soul of Rage is a valuable card for decks using the Unchained Soul engine. It allows you to interact with your opponent during their main phase by using one of their own special summoned monsters as material for a Dark Link Monster.
This can let you pull off effects that trigger on summon but also use their own Link Monsters to climb even higher. You’ll be able to disrupt your opponent, possibly preventing them from going full combo during their turn or breaking their boards going second.
7Number 38: Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy (Quarter Century Secret Rare)
Market Price: $29.99
Number 38: Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy is back in Rarity Collection 2. Once per turn, it can negate a Spell card or effect from being activated on the field. It also allows you to attach the negated spell to Number 38 as material.
This can prevent spells from being destroyed and getting sent to the graveyard, which can trigger some unwanted effects. During the battle phase, you can detach a material from Number 38 to change your opponent’s attack targets. This can help you keep your low-attack monsters from being run over.
6Foolish Burial (Quarter Century Secret Rare)
Market Price: $34.90
Foolish Burial is a simple but very useful card. It allows you to send one monster from your deck to your graveyard. Often, this is all you need to start your combo with many effects that can trigger in grave.
Foolish burial is also a Normal Spell card, making it a search target for Triple Tactics Thrust when the need arises. In Rarity Collection 2, it gets a massive rarity bump as a Quarter Century Secret Rare, allowing you to send monsters to the grave in style.
5Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon (Quarter Century Secret Rare)
Market Price: $69.84
Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon is a Fusion Monster with game-ending effects. First off, it can’t be destroyed by card effects. This forces your opponent to find a different way to remove it from the field.
Then, depending on how many Normal Monsters you use as material for its summon, you’re able to destroy one monster your opponent controls. This will also burn your opponent. Its best ability, however, is the omni negate, which not only stops your opponent’s best cards but beefs up Red-Eyes by 1000 attack.
4Accesscode Talker (Quarter Century Secret Rare)
Market Price: $99.99
Accesscode Talker is a generic Link-4 Monster that can fit into a wide variety of decks. It has already been printed in high rarities in prior sets. However, it now gets the Quarter Century Secret Rare treatment.
This rarity bump now makes it one of the most valuable cards in Rarity Collection 2. It can bump up its attack points on summon and banish links on the field or grave to destroy cards on your opponent’s field. This cannot be responded to directly by your opponent’s card effects.
3I:P Masquerena (Alternate Art) (Quarter Century Secret Rare)
Market Price: $111.60
The alternate art for I:P Masquerena is one of the biggest improvements for one of the most useful Link Monsters. It has been used for special Yu-Gi-Oh sleeves and binders in the past and has even been released as a Gold Rare.
With a Quarter Century Secret Rare printing, I:P Masquerena ditches the gold bolder, which can damage easily, for a sleek new design and card texture. Being able to max out this rarity is a massive flex when you have it on the field, ready to tag out into an even stronger monster.
2Apollousa Bow Of The Goddess (Alternate Art) (Quarter Century Secret Rare)
Market Price: $112.42
Monsters that have multiple negates are already valuable due to their usefulness in a duel. Apollousa Bow Goddess has as many negates as it needs, depending on how many monsters it uses as link material. It also gains attack, preventing it from being beaten over right away.
Now, you can have the alternate art with a 25th-anniversary stamp embossed to the card’s design. This card helps you dodge somany hand traps,including Ash Blossom, Nibiru, Ghost Ogre, and more. So, keep your monsters protected by flashing this expensive card.
1Underworld Goddess Of The Closed World (Quarter Century Secret Rare)
Market Price: $120.00
Underworld Goddess of The Closed World is the most valuable card in Rarity Collection 2, and for good reason. As a Link-5 Monster, it takes a while to get out on the field. Luckily, you can use one monster your opponent controls as material.
This can help you get rid of one of your opponent’s best monsters. Once Link Summoned, it negates the effects of all your opponent’s face-up monsters that were on the field when summoned. It also has a niche effect of being immune to activated effects unless they specifically target it.
