Quarter Century Stampede will be your last chance to get some of your all-time favourite cards as Quarter Century Secret Rares before this spectacular, shining rarity is gone forever.
Last Call for Quarter Century Secret Rares!
Coming in April, Quarter Century Stampede will be your last chance to get some of your all-time favorite cards as Quarter Century Secret Rares before this spectacular, shining rarity is gone forever.
This direct successor to Quarter Century Bonanza uses its same set and pack configuration, including a core set of more than 80 tournament-level cards, another massive 200-card nostalgia reprint pool, and a guaranteed Luxury Secret Rare per pack, etc.
But this time, the nostalgia pool includes picks from our recent online poll asking Duelists which cards THEY want to see as Quarter Century Secret Rares.
Quarter Century Stampede, along with Alliance Insight (releasing a few weeks later), will be the LAST releases to include Quarter Century Secret Rares.Get ‘em while you can!
Survey results are in and contained quite a few surprises! Thank you, Duelists, for voting! Every card has its fans, and over three thousand different cards had at least one Duelist voting for them to be included. There just isn’t space in the set for everyone, alas.
Of the Top 100 card finalists in the poll, about a third are already in Quarter Century Bonanza, which is available now.
Another third were cards we were already planning to include in Quarter Century Stampede. And even though the poll was for the 200-card nostalgia set, lots of these cards were scheduled for the core set, available in multiple rarities, so we’re going to keep them there in the core set. These include old favorites like Miscellaneousaurus, Xtra HERO Cross Crusader, and Cyber Dragon Infinity, plus lots of newer cards like Mulcharmy Fuwalos, Chamber Dragonmaid, and Salamangreat Raging Phoenix. Other top-voted cards, like the heavily demanded Trap Dustshoot and Metamorphosis, are headed straight to the nostalgia pool as planned.
As for the rest… Petit Moth!? Okay, it’s going in the nostalgia pool! Along with other top finishers like Lovely Labrynth of the Silver Castle and Master Peace, the True Dracoslaying King. All 200 nostalgia pool cards will be included 1 per pack in either Platinum Secret Rare or Quarter Century Secret Rare, just like in Quarter Century Bonanza. We’ll be showing off more cards as we get closer to the set’s release!
The other 4 cards per pack, just like Quarter Century Bonanza, will be from the core set, which this time has some further additions. The primary core set of 80 cards will be available in all rarities (but no duplicate Quarter Century Secret Rares), just like before. However, we’re also adding a bunch of brand-new variant art versions of existing cards, to the core set’s Quarter Century Secret Rare pool.
Here’s a handy reminder chart showing the breakdown of each pack:
| Luxury Secret Rare | Always Platinum or Quarter Century | From the separate 200 card “nostalgia” pool and always a “luxury” Secret Rare (Platinum or Quarter Century) |
| Super Rare | Always Super | From the main card pool, available as all rarities, except cards previously released as Quarter Century Secret Rares, will not appear with that art in that rarity again (but will appear in other rarities).
Insert rates on these slots are the same as the original Rarity Collection. Drop rates are independent of each other, so you can (and will) get multiple “luxury” rare drops in slots B through E, sometimes. The Slot A luxury Secret Rare is independent of all these slots. You always get that, on top of any luxury rares from these slots. |
| Ultra Rare | 1 in 6 chance to be Ultimate or Collector’s | |
| Ultra Rare | 1 in 6 chance to be Ultimate or Collector’s | |
| Secret Rare | 1 in 4 chance to be Platinum or Quarter Century |
