10Wanted, Seeker Of The Sinful Spoils $15.20
A Necessary Searcher
One of the best engines to hit Yu-Gi-Oh! duringAge of Overlordis the Sinful Spoils archetype. Like most good engines, it has a searcher, and Wanted: Seeker Of The Sinful Spoils lets you get out your Diabellstar.
If you want to make the best use of this engine, it is essential that you max out your copies of this card. It will help you get to Diabellstar and can make any Fire deck that utilizes a Level One Fire Monster much better than it was before.
9Diabellstar The Black Witch $15.35
The main Boss Monster of the Diabellstar engine is Diabellstar The Black Witch. This Monster is great because it can Special Summon itself pretty easily with its own Effect. When it does this, you can set a Sinful Spoils Spell or Trap directly from the deck to the field.
This is useful because it fetches a card depending on what you need at the moment. If you need a Level One Fire Monster on the field, then search for the Spell. If you need some negates, go for a Trap. If Diabellstar gets destroyed, it can also bring itself back by sending a card to the grave.
8Bonfire $16.12
A Searcher For Pyro Decks
Fire decks have received plenty of support in the previous few years. There are new archetypes, killer boss Monsters, and combos that can go hard if you have the right Monster in hand.
Bonfire facilitates this by being a generic searcher for Pyro Monsters. It lets you search out a Level Four or lover Pyro Monster from your deck and add it to your hand. This helps boost consistency in many of the top decks in the format.
7Transaction Rollback $16.86
A Trap Deck’s Best Friend
The Transaction Rollback reprint is a neat middle-of-the-road rarity bump betweenMaze of Millenia’s ultra rareand collector’s rare printings. This card finds its home in many Trap decks due to its ability to copy other Normal Traps from your graveyard.
This card can be banished from the grave along with a payment of half your Life Points. However, what you get is incredibly good since the Life Point payment replaces the regular cost of the Trap, which, in some cases, can win you the duel.
6Imsety, Glory Of Horus $17.45
Time To Dig Up The Horus Engine
The Age of Overlord set introduced a very useful engine in the form of the Horus set of cards. One of the most expensive is Imsety, Glory of Horus, as it is the most useful at searching out the necessary Spell for the archetype.
These cards are fantastic because they easily bring themselves back onto the field from the graveyard. They are also Level Eight Monsters, which makes them easy to use for Link or XYZ plays. Now Horus is finally a bit cheaper to put together.
5Dark Magician Girl Alternate Art $22.58
A Fresh New Artwork
Dark Magician Girl also gets a second printing in this set in the form of a prismatic secret rare. What makes this card so special is that it has an alternate art. Dark Magician Girl is one of those classic Monsters that gets plenty of alternate printings, such as the ones that depict her floating in the air or riding on her magic staff.
This one depicts the iconic Spellcaster using her wand to perform some magic. The prismatic design of this car also helps it look extra sparkly for added effect.
4Dark Magician Girl $22.81
Fresh From Battle City
It wouldn’t be a proper Yu-Gi-Oh! tin without some reprints ofclassic Duel Monsters era cards. Dark Magician Girl gets a quarter-century secret rare upgrade in this set. While this card may not be the most powerful, cards from this era always fetch a nice price.
If you want to complete your collection of classic Monsters, then this is one that you can’t miss out on. It also features the original artwork as opposed to other special printing that can be found in this set.
3Blue-Eyes White Dragon $23.71
A Card From The Anime Returns
Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes are two of the most iconic Monsters of the franchise. They are the Blastoise and Charizard or Agumon and Gabumon of Yu-Gi-Oh! Blue-Eyes, in particular, has so many printings that it’s hard to keep track of.
However, there is one version of the card that everyone loves, and it’s the one from the anime. This card gets a quarter-century secret rare upgrade for the tins. Being able to get a rarity bump for the original art is fantastic, especially with new Blue-Eyes support around the corner.
2Triple Tactics Thrust $27.07
A Staple Returns
Triple Tactics Thrust is a must-have for any deck that you want to make competitive. The only problem is that the card itself has never been on the cheap side, and you usually need a minimum of two.
The prismatic rare printing found in the tins is by far the cheapest option to get your hands on this card. Even if it is one of the more expensive cards in this set, it is still a better option if you want to start upgrading your decks.
1S:P Little Knight $42.45
The Chase Card
There is always that one game-breaking card that everyone wants to see a reprint of. It’s not tied down to any one archetype, so any deck can utilize it. This card is S:P Little Knight, and it is one ofthe best generic Extra Deck Monsters.
S:P Little Knight is a Link-2 Monster, which makes it easy to get out. It can help break boards by banishing cards on the field. It can also help you dodge targeting Effects in a pinch. After initially being worth over $100, it’s nice to see reprints that make it easier to access.
