Warrior Lady, Dark Magician of Chaos during its massive rise in popularity shortly before its ban, Cyber Dragon to get a foil version of it back in circulation, Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World to have another foil option for it, Grandmaster of the Six Samurai for those that don’t want to try to pull a Secret Rare in Storm of Neos and missed the Sneak Peek, Prometheus, King of the Shadows just to have its lone printing at that time not be a main set Secret Rare, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon to finally have a version of it that wasn’t the Jump Version, Chimeratech Overdragon as a foil version of another popular card for Machine OTK Decks, Swords of Revealing Light to foil out a stall card, Heavy Storm for its first foil print released to the public since Metal Raiders, and same there goes for Reinforcement of the Army, Brain Control so the only foil alternative isn’t in Dark Revelation Volume 3, Crush Card Virus as the money card in the set finally being printed outside being a Shonen Jump prize, Mirror Force getting its first reprint in 3 years and its 3rd print in total, and Torrential Tribute finally getting another foil reprint that isn’t Hobby League. The Gold Rares were the big reprints and for your 18 Gold Rares you had Jinzo to have more access to it at that time, Don Zaloog for the same reason, Breaker the Magical Warrior for a nice foil option that isn’t too expensive, and same goes for D.D. The good Commons at the time for reprints were Sonic Bird since it was out of print for about 4 years and Rituals were recently popular with Demise OTK, Needle Worm as another main way to get it outside of a Tournament Pack that isn’t a massive set like Dark Revelation, Rare Metal Dragon as the only other way to get it outside of the Exclusive Pack from the movie, Doom Dozer as another card recently popular in Demise OTK at that time, Mist Body as a reprint from a McDonald’s pack, Royal Command for a more common way to get it, Rivalry of Warlords as a good reprint in hindsight, and Skill Drain for a pretty powerful card to have. The 27 Commons were 7 Colored Fish, Sonic Bird, Summoner of Illusions, Fire Princess, Needle Worm, 8-Claws Scorpion, Swarm of Scarabs, Swarm of Locusts, Des Lacooda, Newdoria, Old Vindictive Magician, Stealth Bird, Regenerating Mummy, Solar Flare Dragon, Rare Metal Dragon, Nightmare Penguin, Sillva, Warlord of Dark World, Doom Dozer, Offerings to the Doomed, Non-Spellcasting Area, Mist Body, Pandemonium, Needle Ceiling, Royal Command, Rivalry of Warlords, Skill Drain, and Spell Shield Type-8. This was a 45 card set with 27 Commons and 18 Gold Rares, meaning you got a lot of repetition with Commons in these packs.

The first Gold Series had a simple name and was a big product for one main reason at that time, the reprint of Crush Card Virus from previously being a prize card to now finally being accessible to the whole playerbase, massive short printing aside. Now that the little details are done, let’s get into the goods in these sets. Gold Series gave 22 Commons and 3 Gold Rares typically and Premium Gold typically had 6 Gold Secret Rares and 9 regular Gold Rares. Gold Series was a 25 card pack you got for $25 MSRP and Premium Gold gave you 3 packs of 15 cards for $15 MSRP. They were sets that at the beginning especially gave big reprints as we’ll see soon, the last Gold Series took a different approach, and Premium Gold changed the formula all together until the last one in 2016.
Now the Gold Series is mostly known for giving reprints and being one of few ways to get Gold Rares, and Premium Gold was the same with reprints but also added new cards imported from the OCG. Hello Pojo Readers, Crunch$G here returning with the series where I try to review every set in the game’s history and now I’ll take a break from Structure Decks and Core Sets to get to the Gold Series and Premium Gold products.
