Even though most card players know Yu-Gi-Oh! as an expensive game to play, especially if you want to play meta, they forget to mention Konami’s aggressive reprint policies. Even if a card is extremely powerful and worth a month’s salary, by simply waiting a month or two, you’ll be able to pick it up at a bargain.
Battles Of Legend: Monster Mayhem is a side set that contains some of the most popular and powerful staples alongside some incredible chibi arts for iconic monsters like Dark Paladin and the destruction-wielding Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
10Primite Drillbeam
Previous Print: Rage Of The Abyss (2024)
Drillbeam wasn’t particularly expensive when it first released in Rage Of The Abyss, but as a prime piece in all decks that utilize the Primite engine, it was due for a reprint.
This card is a free negate that can be searchable and can float back onto your field if you control a Primite monster. It can even be a board breaker if you end up drawing when going second. Now it’s sitting at less than the value of a single booster pack, making this engine far more affordable.
9Primite Dragon Ether Beryl
Previous Print: Supreme Darkness (2025)
Beryl is one of the key pieces for the Primite deck. This Normal Summon can search your deck for a Primite card, which most of the time will be either Lordly Lode or Drillbeam, and can float back as a resource engine during the standby phase.
This is one of the most heavily requested reprints since it’s a starter for Primite, and with the popular rise of a good Blue-Eyes deck in the meta, this new dragon has made the previously known as “Brick-Eyes” far more consistent.
8Primite Lordly Lode
Just like it was mentioned before,Blue-Eyesdecks tend to brick quite a bit. You don’t want to draw into your Blue-Eyes White Dragon, but with Lordly Lode, you’ll be able to special summon it directly from your deck whenever you need it.
While the price for Lordly Lode went down quite significantly, it’s still a pretty expensive card. Luckily, you only need to play one copy since Ether Beryl can set it onto your field.
7Magical Android
Previous Print: Legendary Collection 5D’s Mega Pack (2014)
After the mess that was Konami’s blunder when it came to Time Wizard formats, especially Edison, it’s astonishing to get a Magical Android reprint in Battles Of Legend: Monster Mayhem.
This card hasn’t received a printing since 2014, making the card quite expensive for a one-off Extra Deck monster. Sadly, with product delays, European territories will have to wait a while to receive this beautiful Secret Rare print that will not even see much play with the updated Edison ruleset.
6Artifact Lancea
Previous Print: 25th Anniversary Rarity Collection (2023)
Artifact Lancea has seen a fair number of reprints. Most notably in the 2023 Rarity Collection, giving the card tons of different rarities for players to choose from. Even though the card is very cheap, it sure is nice to be able to go to a local game store and pick up a new pack that could include one of the best floodgates for the Battles Of Legend: Monster Mayhem format.
WithMaliss being one of the best decksin the format, having an easy shut-off button with Lancea in your hand can help even the most rogue decks stabilize.
5Triple Tactics Talent
Yu-Gi-Oh! is notorious for some of the most iconic and the most broken spell cards in any card game. Pot Of Greed, Change Of Heart, and Confiscation are excellent cards that have spent some time on the forbidden list, but for some reason, Konami thought that making all three of their effects into one card with asmall restrictionwas a smart move.
Triple Tactics Talent is an incredible and flexible card that is now limited to one, and another reprint further helps the accessibility for newer players to use such a strong Spell card.
4Forbidden Droplet
Just like Triple Tactics Talent, Forbidden Droplet is one of the best board breakers in the game. If you’re looking to negate the many effects that your opponent has set up to stump your combos, by sending a couple of cards to the graveyard, you’ll be able to play your going-second turn without a hitch.
This card has been reprinted a couple of times already, but with Battles Of Legend: Monster Mayhem, you’ll be able to pull a beautiful chibi card along with an excellent meta staple.
3Gorz The Emissary Of Darkness
Previous Print: Quarter Century Bonanza (2024)
Hand traps were not the big deal they are now back during the Edison format days. There were a couple here and there, but nothing as obstructive as a Mulcharmy Fuwalos or Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring. The few that existed were quite powerful, especially for their respective format.
Gorz The Emissary Of Darkness is one of those hand traps. While it can’t negate effects like most modern ones, once you are hit with a huge attack, you’ll be able to summon Gorz, alongside a token with the same attack as the one you just received.
2Necroquip Princess
Previous Print: The Infinite Forbidden
It hasn’t been that long since Battles Of Legend: Monster Mayhem that we received the first printing of Necroquip Princess. So, not a lot of players were clamoring for a reprint, especially since its initial print was a simple common.
What stands out about this print of the Level Six fusion monster is that it received a rarity bump to Ultra Rare. There’s nothing worse than a common card in your extra deck, alongside all of your shiny Fiendsmith cards.
1Master Peace, The True Dracoslaying King
Previous Print: Quarter Century Stampede (2025)
Fresh off the banlist, Master Peace is back to make your games hell. Sure, True Draco is not doing much in the meta, but once Master Peace comes back to three, there will be plenty of enthusiastic players ready to send Traps, Spells, and Monsters to summon the King.
Just like most cards in the list, Master Peace received a reprint recently in one of the rarity booster sets, but outside of that, we haven’t seen a reprint in Secret Rare for a while.
