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.

Prices are TCGplayer 1st Edition market prices on October 22, 2026 unless the table names another edition, and they move daily. Each set guide has the chase card's other printings and the rest of its chase list.

The guides

Legendary Duelists: Magical Hero (January 16, 2020). The sixth Legendary Duelists set: 56 cards in five blocks, one for each anime protagonist from Yugi to Yuya. Prices are low, led by the Ultra Rare Dark Magician Spell Soul Servant.

The top rarities in 2020

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. 2020 added several new top rarities: Collector's Rares in Toon Chaos and Genesis Impact, a Ghost Rare in Rage of Ra, a 10000 Secret Rare in Armageddon and Premium Gold Rares in Maximum Gold. From Eternity Code on, the core sets dropped Rares and added a fifth Starlight Rare. Reading the foil →
