Yu-Gi-Oh Advent Calendar

I know Christmas is a ways away, but I just wanted to get in a cheery mood (Ho, ho, ho).  Konami is doing an advent calendar, which has totally escaped my attention in the past.  This gives Logan something new to look for as well.

The advent calendar is set to be release on October 26 and will feature, but of course, holiday themed Yu-Gi-Oh cards that you can add to your collection and/or decks.  The 24 card set will include 14 Super Rare cards and 10 Ultra Rare cards.  So get ready to enjoy the holidays with this set this year!
