Each pack of Star Pack: ARC-V contains 3 random cards, with one guaranteed Shatterfoil card. The full set includes 48 cards available as Common and the same 48, in addition to 2 extra cards, also available as Shatterfoil. That’s a ton of new Shatterfoil cards to make a deck glitter.

Duelists can also collect popular cards available in various sets, stretching from Legend of Blue-Eyes White Dragon to Hidden Arsenal, so fans can find Mobius the Frost Monarch and Polymerization to Gem-Knight Fusion, X-Saber Souza, and Constellar Algiedi.

There’s some great cards in the set, and each booster pack is only 99 cents.

While I’m still fairly new to Yu-Gi-Oh, it doesn’t take a genius to realize how insane the cards that come in World Superstars booster packs are. Each 5-card booster pack comes with only foil cards, as each card in the 50 card set is nothing but. Many of the cards I received were XYZ monsters, or cards that boost them. My son and I went from not being able to play with an Extra Deck, to each having a rather impressive one. The game has definitely stepped up for us.

You can snag these booster packs for as little at $3, which may seem like a lot for 5 cards. Trust me. These puppies pack a punch. Even one pack will probably get you something to bring your deck to the next level.

Like I said. My son are I are just getting into the swing of things, but World Superstars whetted our appetites for more Yu-Gi-Oh now that we’ve got some power to work with.
