Legendary Collection 2: the Duel Academy Years

Why do I feel like this blog has turned into a products page? -_-

Last year, we got the Legendary Collection; an assortment of old packs and bad cards. If you were to tell me that the second go would be different, I probably wouldn't believe you. First of all, since the original collection contained the original God Cards, we'd be correct in assuming that the GX version comes with the Sacred Beasts; 3 terrible cards that have already been printed several times.

What else can we assume? The first Legendary Collection contained 5 packs containing cards from the original series, it would make sense that LC2 would come with packs like The Lost Millennium, Cybernetic Revolution, Elemental Energy, Phantom Darkness, and Light of Destruction. Well, that's where you'd be wrong!

Instead of giving us more of what we don't want, Konami has assembles a 266-card set that "collects the top cards from the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX era". Aside from all the awful Heroes, Ancient Gears, and Cybers, what other cards are from the GX era? Vennominaga, Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo, Dark Armed Dragon, Yubel - the Ultimate Nightmare, Card Trooper, and more great cards that are in need of a reprint. Perhaps the best part about this "mega set" is that in each of the 5 included packs, you get 1 Secret Rare, 1 Ultra Rare, 1 Super Rare, 1 Rare, and 5 Common cards!

That's not even all of it! Each GX-themed binder also contains a promo pack containing 10 ultra rares! Of course, none of the cards besides the Sacred Beasts have been confirmed, but for the (assumed) price of $20-$30, this seems like a great deal. Personally, I can't wait to see what will be inside these packs. 2011 is looking to be the best year for Yugioh, yet! By the way, the release date for this is October 4th, just 2 weeks before the new Dark World structure deck, so start saving up!
