Duelists asked for Round 2, so here it is!
Last year we dusted off and released Retro Pack – the booster set that was never released in North America! We were astonished at the reaction and had to go back and print more to fill demand. And now we’re getting requests for Retro Pack 2, so…okay!
Unlike its predecessor, Retro Pack 2 was released in the Americas many years ago, but had an extremely limited release, so it was still hard to find.
But like its predecessor, we’re making every effort for the cards in the Retro Pack 2 re-release to be as retro as they can be, so just like before they’ll have:
- The original card frames and card look
- The original card names and texts
It’s another time capsule from the past!
And just like last time, we made a little change, and doubled the drop rate for foil cards compared to the original Retro Pack 2. So it will be twice as easy to get foil cards from Retro Pack 2 (2025 re-release) as it was from Retro Pack 2 (2009 original release).
The complete Retro Pack 2 booster set is 101 cards:
- 48 Commons
- 24 Rares
- 10 Super Rares
- 8 Ultra Rares
- 11 Secret Rares
(And before you ask, there never was a Retro Pack 3, so enjoy this while it lasts!)
Comprehensive Card Breakdown
The Retro Pack 2 set includes:
- 48 Commons: Essential cards that every duelist needs.
- 24 Rares: Special cards that elevate gameplay.
- 10 Super Rares: Cards that pack a punch with unique abilities.
- 8 Ultra Rares: Highly sought-after cards that can significantly impact a duel.
- 11 Secret Rares: The crème de la crème of card rarity, designed to dazzle collectors in every sense.
Enhanced Foil Drop Rates
In a thrilling twist, the upcoming Retro Pack 2 has doubled the drop rate for foil cards compared to its original release. This enhancement means that collectors and players alike will have an easier time pulling those shiny, coveted cards that can turn the tide of battle and add a stunning visual element to any collection.
Where to Buy Retro Pack 2
Players eager to expand their collections can find Retro Pack 2 at mass market retailers when it officially launches. Keep your eyes peeled for announcements from local game stores and online retailers, as interest in this nostalgic release is expected to be high.
