Yu-Gi-Oh! Rarity Collection 5 Card List and Limit Over Collection Guide

Yugioh Rarity Collection 5, officially called Rarity Collection V (set code RA05), is the latest premium Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG set built around rare versions of popular cards. It brings the TCG’s first extended art cards, variant artworks with catchphrases and seven different rarities. This guide covers the release dates, pack contents, the card list highlights and the chase cards, plus Japan’s Limit Over Collection The Heroes.

Release dates

Rarity Collection 5 released in North America on April 17, 2026, after being moved back from April 10. Official Tournament Stores got it on April 15, and the cards became tournament-legal on April 17. In Europe and Oceania, the English version and the French, German, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese versions came out on April 9, 2026. See the official Rarity Collection V page from Konami.

It follows earlier premium sets: the 25th Anniversary Rarity Collection (RA01) in November 2023, RA02 in May 2024, Quarter Century Bonanza in November 2024 and Quarter Century Stampede in April 2025.

What is in a pack?

Each pack has 5 cards. Four slots come from a main pool of about 80 cards, and the fifth slot is a variant art card. According to Yugipedia, a pack contains:

• 1 variant art card, in Ultra Rare or Starlight Rare.
• 1 Super Rare.
• 1 Secret Rare, with a 1 in 4 chance of being a Platinum Secret Rare or Starlight Rare.
• 2 Ultra Rares, each with a 1 in 6 chance of being a Collector’s Rare or Ultimate Rare.

The seven rarities

Main-pool cards can appear as Super, Ultra, Secret, Platinum Secret, Starlight, Ultimate and Collector’s Rare. Konami says the Ultimate and Collector’s Rares are only found in Rarity Collection sets. Most main-pool cards come in all seven rarities, but some are limited: Tri-Horned Dragon is Starlight only, and Dominus Impulse only comes as a Platinum Secret, Ultimate or Collector’s Rare.

Yugioh Rarity Collection 5 card list highlights

Konami lists a set size of 152, while Yugipedia counts 150 cards (82 in the main pool plus 68 variant cards). Here are the highlights of the Rarity Collection 5 card list.

Main pool

Featured main-pool cards include Chaos Angel, Kashtira Fenrir, Number C104: Umbral Horror Masquerade and Mementoal Tecuhtlica – Combined Creation.

Extended art cards

For the first time in the TCG, the set has extended art cards, with artwork that stretches across the card. There are 10 in total, including Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Kurikara Divincarnate, Super Polymerization and Dominus Purge.

Variant arts and catchphrases

There are 58 variant art cards. Many add short messaging-style catchphrases in English or Japanese. Some variants also use a stamp-style artwork, including Dark Magician, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Red-Eyes Black Dragon, the three Egyptian Gods, Raigeki, Monster Reborn, Pot of Avarice and Mystical Space Typhoon.

Starlight-only cards

A few cards only come as Starlight Rares, including Tri-Horned Dragon, Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon and Dark Sage. These are some of the hardest pulls in the set.

Chase cards

The hardest pulls are usually the Starlight Rares, including the Starlight-only classics and the Starlight versions of variant art cards. The 10 extended art cards are also popular, as they are a first for the TCG. For players, the Collector’s and Ultimate Rare versions of staples like Kashtira Fenrir are a premium way to upgrade a deck.

Note that Quarter Century Secret Rares are not part of this set, according to Konami’s product page.

Why Rarity Collection sets are popular

Rarity Collection sets are different from normal boosters. Every card in a pack is Super Rare or better, and the cards are mostly popular, playable cards rather than new ones. That makes them a favourite with players who want to upgrade their decks with shiny versions of the cards they already use, and with collectors who love premium rarities.

Rarity Collection 5 adds two new reasons to open packs: the TCG’s first extended art cards and variant arts with fun catchphrases. Together with the seven rarities, that gives every pack plenty of chances for a great pull.

Tips for opening and collecting

• Check every card’s rarity carefully; Platinum Secret, Starlight, Ultimate and Collector’s Rares can look similar at a glance.
• Sleeve Starlight and extended art cards straight away.
• Pick one favourite card and try to collect it in all seven rarities.
• Keep variant art cards with catchphrases together; they make a fun binder page.

Yugioh Limit Over Collection: The Heroes

The Yugioh Limit Over Collection The Heroes is a separate, Japan-only OCG booster, released on February 28, 2026, according to Konami Japan. Each pack has 4 cards, and a box holds 15 packs.

It has 80 card types (38 Ultra Rares and 42 Super Rares), themed on the decks of the anime protagonists rather than the HERO archetype. It includes ace monsters and support cards for each protagonist, first-time OCG releases of anime cards, a new card for the Master Duel 4th anniversary and reprints with new chibi-style art.

Grand Master Rare and Overframe

• Every card also comes in Secret and Prismatic Secret Rare.
• 18 Ultra Rares get Overframe art, where the artwork breaks out of the frame.
• The same 18 cards also come as the new Grand Master Rare, serial-numbered and limited to 100 copies each.
• 21 Super Rares come in Ultimate and Collector’s Rare versions.

A companion set, Limit Over Collection The Rivals, followed on March 20, 2026. Limit Over Collection cards have Japanese text, so they are mainly for collectors rather than TCG play. See our Yu-Gi-Oh! Limit Over Collection box.

• Pack size: 5 cards per pack vs 4 cards per pack.
