First from Konami we get the Legendary Duelists Magical Hero booster packs. This set features Yugi’s Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl. For the first time ever the Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl will be able to fight together as a single Fusion Monster – Dark Magicians! One new card you will possibly pull from a booster pack is Magicians’ Souls, a new effect monster that guarantees you to summon either the Dark Magician or Dark Magician Girl when you need them.

The total cards in this Legendary Duelist Magical Hero booster set is 56 to include: 29 Commons; 10 Rares; 8 Super Rares; and 9 Ultra Rares.

But that’s not all that will be hitting stores this Friday. There is also the Ash Blossom Accessories! These are coming to you earlier than expected. The release date was originally February 14, but Konami wanted to give everyone a surprise, so they moved up the release date to this Friday! Accessories that will be available will be: a Gaming Mat; Card Sleeves; a Card Case; and a Duelist Portfolio. For images of the accessories and other products you can check them out here: https://www.yugioh-card.com/en/products/accessories.html

That’s a lot, but I know our Yu-Gi-Oh! listeners will be excited that all of this is hitting their store shelves this Friday. Many thanks to Hill & Knowlton Strategies for the heads up so we can pass it along to you.
