2018 Yu-Gi-Oh! Sets
Every main English Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG release of 2018, in order, with a guide to each: what is in it, which archetypes it pushes, and which cards collectors chase.

A card printed at two rarities shares one set code, so it counts once here, and each guide's rarity table counts it at both.
The chase card in each set
Every set has one printing its collectors open packs for. These are each set's most valuable cards on October 22, 2026. Legendary Collection Kaiba Mega Pack is left out because the catalog has almost no prices for it.

The top rarities in 2018
A Yu-Gi-Oh! card's rarity is in its foil, not in a printed symbol, and one set code can be printed at several rarities. In 2018 Secret Rare was still the top rarity of the core sets, and prices across the year's sets are low. Reading the foil →
Decks, tins and other products
Structure Decks, tins, side packs and prize products from 2018 are listed in TurnZero HQ's catalog without a guide here. Set completion still covers them.
