Building the Battle Pack – Part 5: Slot 1 cards revealed!

May 19th, 2012

With this weekend’s Battle Pack:Epic Dawn Sealed Pack events at the Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series in Philadelphia, it’s finally time to unveil the contents of this highly anticipated set!

As we’ve explained before, each Battle Pack is engineered with 1 card each from 4 card pools. The fifth card – the Starfoil – can be from any of the 4 pools, making it a genuine wild card.

First up: the Rare cards! Rare cards in Battle Packs are your game-changers. The cards most likely to have a massive impact on your Duels. By putting them only appear in card slot 1, we are able to make sure that everyone in your Sealed Pack events will have about the same number of these cards (although Starfoil wild cards can still add a little bit of randomness – which makes it more unpredictable, and a lot more fun!).

SPOILER ALERT – IF YOU ARE WAITING FOR THE OFFICIAL RELEASE, AND WANT TO BE SURPRISED BY WHAT YOU GET IN YOUR PACKS WHEN THAT DAY COMES – READ NO FURTHER!!!
