The first set of Legendary Decks were really fun to play as, and stored wonderfully. Now, on October 7th, we’re getting Yu-Gi-Oh!: Legendary Decks II. The three new decks follow Yugi, Kaiba, and Joey from Duelist Kingdom to Battle City, and a little further. Each 43 card deck should be familiar to fans of the show:

-43-card Deck based on Yugi and his unstoppable Exodia, the Forbidden One. It contains brand-new cards to help assemble the five pieces of Exodia. It also contains all 3 playable versions of the Egyptian God Cards.

-43-card Deck based on Kaiba and his legendary engine of destruction, Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

-43-card Deck based on Joey and his ferocious Red-Eyes B. Dragon. Includes cards that grow and change from turn to turn like Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon and Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning.

The box will also contain three rare token cards.

MSRP will be $29.99, which is a great deal. The first Legendary Decks box was excellent, and it stands that this one should be too.
