 Today we will be ranking the best and worst Yu-Gi-Oh sets by year. What's up guys, we're back with another epic video. Today we'll be doing a tier list of the best Yu-Gi-Oh sets from 2002 to 2021 by year. We lost to be doing a giveaway. I'll be giving away this Golden Verte Anaconda. All you have to do is like this video, be subscribed. Let me know what you think about the list. Give me your own opinion. You can even do your own list. You can search it on tiermaker.com and do your own. So how this is going to work is it's going to be every year just for booster set. So like decks and tins and stuff like that are not going to be included because there's just too many things going on if we do that. So we have over here on the card list. We can see each year what is released for booster packs. So in here in 2020, and you can see Bill is a legend, Mercidesty, Dawn, Majesty, all that stuff. So we are going to start off in 2021. I'm going to be doing this based on collecting as well as a little bit of playing because I don't know I have a huge knowledge about that collector. We're going to kind of rank them based on their collectability and then throw in like if it's a great, you know, competitive set, we'll throw that in there. First off, we have 2021. Let's see again what is in here. So Blazing Vortex kind of a bad set goes from the past a lot of people didn't like it. It does have the GoShare Dark Magician has the Blazing alternative. So that's a pretty big plus for this set. Just because those cards are so iconic, the set will be valuable just because those are in there. The rest of the set was not fantastic. So that's a pretty decent set overall. Ancient Guardians was horrible. There were a few throwback cards which made it a little bit better for collectors, but in terms of playability is really bad. Lightning Overdrive, another bad set, but it does have the Starlight Black Rose Dragon. So when you start thinking about a lot of these sets that were really bad competitively have a lot of iconic cards and high rarity, which makes them pretty nice for collectability. So Lightning Overdrive is not as bad as you might think. King's Court was actually pretty strong, decent reprints. It also had the God cards in it, what turned out to be actual error God cards. So there's like a double set of God cards. That's not bad. Donna Majesty had the Stardust Dragon. That's about it for collectability. Burst of Destiny was crazy good. Not really the most collectible set. It does have a Stratos, but because it was so impactful in the meta, I think it's still gonna be pretty decent. And Rose of the Legend, which has the red eyes you're doing very competitive and I think collectible as well. So overall after looking at all those sets, it's not awful. It's definitely not awful. Insane I think would be stretching it. I'm not gonna put it same. Honestly for collectability, the amount of awesome cards they reprinted at high rarity, I'm leaning toward very good. This will probably change as we go along because I'm gonna think of something else that I like better and we might bob it down. But for now we're gonna put that in very good on the collectible side. What about 2020? We've got Genesis Impact, Phantom Rage. Okay, those are not too good. Not a lot of great stuff. Rage of Raw was awesome because of the Ghost Rare, Wing Dragon Raw. Also had some Jinzo stuff, which was pretty cool. Fairly decent in terms of collectability. I kind of liked that set. A lot of throwback cards. Rise of the Rules was super good. It doesn't have a lot of like throwbacks, but it was a pretty strong set. Battles of the Legend had the 10K Dragon. That was an iconic collectible. Like just a moment, everyone wanted the 10K Dragon. So that's gonna boost it up there. Toon Chaos was crazy good. That was an awesome set. So many awesome old school reprints. Turnity Code, not really much of a collectible set, but a really strong set overall. Secret Slayers. Don't really remember a lot about this set to be honest. Ignition Assault, I don't think was very good. It did have Lightning Storm and all that stuff. Magical Hero was another one with like Dark Magician support. So when it comes to collectability, this was a pretty good year honestly. I feel like it was better than 2021. Now that I'm thinking about this, I think 2021 should be decent. Honestly, I think this one is still in the decent category. We might bump this up though. There was some pretty big stuff. Like 10K Dragon and Toon Chaos were huge. Honestly, let's go to very good. Just cause Toon Chaos was like, it was huge for collectors. I actually found it started reprinting collectible high rarity cards and stuff like that, which was big. It was just big cause now they started doing it every single set. I haven't done that before. So I think that was a pretty big one. 2019, okay. I don't think this one's going to be great. Mystic Fighters, I think that had what? Dragon Maids in it. Chaos Impact. It did have the Apollosa, which at this point is becoming collectible, but at the time it was just a meta card. They did start with Starlights this year. So that's like, okay, they started giving collector something to chase for. That's pretty cool. Immortal Destiny, that was pretty cool. Bacore, people like that one. Fist of the Gadget is a complete garbage. Rising Rampage is the first Starlight set. So you'd love to see that. Apollosa is a cool card. Heroes Revenge, it's just a reprint set for the meta. Not Crazy Dark Neostorm, Infinity Chaser, Savage Strike. I mean, all this stuff, I guess legendary duelists can be considered somewhat collectible. This is definitely going to go at best in the bad category. I mean, it wasn't good. It did, the reason it's not an awful, they started printing Starlights. I think that's big for people who open packs, collect cards, all that stuff. Just because it's high rarity, it's hard to pull. Gives you something to chase and it just makes the cards more valuable in general. So I think that pretty interesting thing to start. We're getting into the Dark Ages, the dead period for collecting. I mean, there was absolutely nothing. And this is when I came back. So there was not going on hidden summons or soul fission. I mean, these are, this did have Thunder Dragons, but I guess it's like an old archetype. So you could say that. Legendary duelist, White Dragon Abyss was cool because it was blue eyes. Shadows of Valhalla, Cybernetic Revolution. Battles of Legends is always a reprint set for not really collectors, even though this year had the Dragoon, which is nice. Saviors, Flames of Destruction, Starpack. Anytime there's a Starpack, they just skip it. Ancient Millennium was actually cool. They just started the Legendary duelist. So that was pretty cool and Extreme Force. Honestly, this is like, it's probably not the worst year. I feel like this needs to go in awful. I mean, for collectability's sake, I'm not, remember, this is all from a collector side. If you're watching this and you're like, dude, like there were so many great sets that year. We were completely talking about the collectible part of the card game. So yeah, I'm gonna throw that one in awful. Let's go to 2017. This one might be even worse. Spirit Warrior, Circuit Break. Legendary duelist, the first set. So they did start that, which is cool. Code of the Duelist, man. Some of these sets were completely awful in terms of like something to actually collect and like open for. At this point is when you open a Booster Rocks, all you could pull were secret rares. That was the highest rarity, one out of 12. There's absolutely no chase. They short printed some cards, which made it kind of annoying. It was like the same rarity as the secret, but it really wasn't the same rarity. It was a lot harder to pull, which is just annoying. Cause it's like, it doesn't look any cooler. It's just way harder to pull for some reason, cause it's a good card or whatever. So this is what I consider to be like the worst period for opening cards. Pendulum Evolution, Maximum Crisis. We got the Ash Blossom in there. That was like the biggest card of the year. Starpack Battle, why were Starpacks going for so long? I don't know. Future Enforcers is raging. This is by far the worst one we've looked at so far. 2016, we've got Destiny Soldiers, Invasion Vengeance. Dragons of Legend was a cool set. Dark Illusion was a Dark Magician throwback, so that's pretty cool. Dark Set of Dimensions, honestly, not a bad set. I kind of find it interesting. Here's a Blue Eyes set, Millennium Pack, Wing Raiders, Breakers of Shadow. This has Buster Blader in it. So there's a lot of throwback archetypes this year, which is pretty cool. I mean, you could go collect those even if they're not super rare. I think if they had Ghost Rare, Starlight Rares at this point, we have Starlight Rare, Blue Eyes, Buster Blader, stuff like that. It would have been much better for collectors. This is not the worst, because there's some throwback stuff. There's Dragons of Legend, which is a pretty cool set. And it's just not the worst thing ever. We're gonna throw this one. I think we're gonna go in bad for collector, because there's no big chases or anything, which is what us collectors love. We love the big chases. Is this better or worse than 2019? I think it's worse still, because there was Apollo and stuff in there. So 2016, not too terrible. 2015, this is, okay. This is when they stopped Ghost Raiders Dimension of Chaos. So there were Ghost Raiders at this point, which is really cool. High Speed Riders, Clash of Rebellions, had the Ghost Rare, Red Eyes, Flare Metal, I believe it's called. Dragons of Legend 2 was awesome. They had the Tooth Kingdom, which is awesome. People love Toons. It doesn't matter if you're casual, you're a collector, whatever. People love those Starpack Art Feet, bleh. Garbage. Cross Souls as it goes here. World Superstars did have those awesome blue eyes in Dark Magician, like, I guess, Retrait, they're like worlds cards or something. I don't know, those are really cool. Secret Forces and Secrets of Eternity. Not the best year ever. Honestly, this is an okay year. I would say maybe like average for collectability, because I do love Dimension of Chaos. I'm biased. I love it. It has some really cool cards. Probably the back end of Decent closer to bad, but not terrible. 2014, we have New Challengers. Duelist Alliance was a pretty awesome set. It wasn't super collectible, but it had a lot of great stuff. It does have a grocery in there. It's the beginning of the Pendulum, so you might hate it because Pendulums, you know, eh. Monster League, that's one of the worst sets ever printed. One day we'll actually do a tier list on every single set. If you guys enjoyed this video, make sure to let me know in the comments so I can know if you guys want to do another tier list like this, maybe for something else, Yu-Gi-Oh! And I will consider doing that. We've got Primal Origin. Dragons of Legend, the original, was big, because the Dark Magician Girl, the Dragon Knight, that's very collectible. People love themselves Dark Magician Girl in any form, so it's not bad. Starpack, 2014, I can see the valiant. The Battlepacks, okay, there's some good and some bad. Yeah, this is definitely going in the average category. I think honestly worse than Docks. I like 2015 better, so we're gonna put that in the decent. 2013, Shadow Spectres was considered like a really bad set, but I always just love that cover card. I think the Ghost really looks really good. Judgement of the Light, I mean, Chigalates. That just should be top tier, shouldn't it? I mean, that's really good. Number Hunters, Battlepack 2. Okay, Battlepack 2 wasn't terrible. Didn't have God cards in it. Tachyon Galaxy was pretty cool. A lot of cool cards in there, Cosmo Blazer. We're just kind of in the meh area right now. We're kind of meh. So I think this one is, we're hanging out in decent. We've got a lot in the decent. We might need to move some stuff around, but right now I'm just feeling meh. It's like, I don't love it. I don't hate it. Let's go to 2012. Now we're getting to some cool stuff. So we got Abyss Rising. I really like that set. There's a lot of cool fish in there. I think people really like, it's a, I think it's a fan favorite archetype. Turn of the Duals is also really cool. There's Ghost Raiders in all of these sets, which is awesome other than Hidden Arsals. Hidden Arsals is not too great. Epic Dawn was not a bad battle pack. I think it was one of the best ones. We like to go for Lords, not terrible. Raial and Mega Pack, a lot of throwbacks for GX. People really enjoy that set even to today, which is really cool. And Order of Chaos, I think is decent. I still am not going to throw this in great, but I do think that this one is pretty good. Let's go like, let's put 2012 up here. Yeah, that's what we're going to go with for now. And obviously as we get older in terms of collectability, it gets a little bit more easy to be good, you know, collectible, maybe we're going to get something cool. Okay, now we're getting into some really nice Photon Shockwave, that's a big one. We got the Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon. Generation 4 is pretty nice. Stream Victor, we got Tour Guide. Iconic, people love that card. I think that's a pretty good, there's not a lot of sets this year. Storm of Ragnarok, the Odin. I mean, there's the Max C, there's so many crazy cards. Bonds Beyond Time, I think I want to throw this one in low, very good. Cause there was a lot of impactful cards and just like iconic cards in there. It's going to be towards the back end of very good. I like it better than these decent sets. I think it's pretty good. Honestly, I feel like 2021 is just at a weird spot. All right, 2010, we got Hidden Arsenal 3, Star Strike Blast, Duelist Revolution is big, Shining Darkness, absolute power force. I think this is a pretty strong one. It feels kind of average though. Duelist Revolution was big. I mean, it had Effect Baler, it had Solid Morning, it had all that awesome stuff. Pot of Awesome, of course. Hidden Arsenal 2, Hidden Arsenal 3 are not too great. Shining Darkness is pretty decent, absolute power force. They're all pretty decent, but they're not too crazy. I feel like we're going average again. I mean, a lot of these sets are just, years are just average overall because some of the sets are great. We might need to do one where we do every single pack, which would be interesting. Okay, this is going to be better than most of these, right? Let's put it up here. 2009, okay, now this is some good. Retro Pack 2 is in here. My favorite set to collect. This might, one might be going really high because we've got Crimson Crisis, which is a cool set. Raging Battle for Power Tool and all that stuff. Retro Pack 2, of course. Angel Prophecy, we open this all the time on the channel. Hidden Arsenal, the original. It's got a few decent cards and then the Stardust Overdrive. This one has got to be in very good. I think we put this up here. Yeah, I think we got to put this one up here around this area. Retro Pack 2 was just so important to me. I really love Retro Pack 2. It's awesome. I think we throw this in very good. It's a pretty good set. All right, it's a pretty good year. Now we get into a really big one. This year, I mean, I'm not going to spoil it yet, but Phantom Darkness, Light of Destruction, Retro Pack 1, Premium Pack 2, which a lot of people love that one. The Duelist Genesis, Crossroads of Chaos, Dark Legends, Anniversary Pack. Do we even need to discuss this one? That's insane. That is an insane year. That might be the best year of all time. There's so many good ones in there. Just absolutely crazy. Like just Retro Pack and Light of Destruction, Phantom Darkness would put it in the number one. Then you have Premium Pack 2. You have Duelist Genesis, Crossroads, Dark Legends and Anniversary Pack. Just crazy. Like that by far blows out any of the years we've seen so far. 2007, we're getting older. So they're going to be more like, wow, this was an awesome collector set. If we were back in time, it might not have felt that way, but you know, it's been years now. So they're aging well. Strike of Nios, awesome set. Forced to break is a pretty decent set. I would say Premium Pack 1 is fairly cool. It's not too crazy. Tactical Evolution, I mean, we're starting with Ghost Shirts at this point. So we could pull Ghost Shirts, which is pretty awesome. Glass is a very collectible set. Dark Revelation 4, oh wow. This was a great year as well. Yeah, this was a good one. Do we put it at the top though? I mean, Gladiators Assault, Tactical Evolution, Strike of Nios and Dark Revelation 4. I mean, I think that has to be in the insane tier. It's going to be less than 2008 though. It was much better. I would say if there's another tier, how do we even add its year? Yeah, I think we need to add a good tier. So I think 2020 is going to go down to good. 2011 I think also needs to go in the good tier. These two are definitely still insane. I think 2009 is going to stick in the very good though. It's very good. 2010 is also going to go in good. 2012 is going to go in good. 2021 is going to go in good. I think those are all good. And we've got decent. I think it's a little bit more spaced out. It's not so many average ones. We are down to 2006. So we've got Dark Revelation 3. That's an all right set. It's not the craziest. Like when I opened that, I'm not like, man, it's the best set ever. But I'm like, it's pretty fun. Time Dark Impact is, I mean, it's got it. The cover card is amazing, obviously. Power of the Duel is pretty good set to collect. I mean, it's pretty good. Enemy of Justice, bleh, it's just so many bad memories. Shadows of Infinity does have the Sacred Beast. So I think this one's pretty good. I'm not going to go crazy on this one though. I think this one, actually 2021 needs to be decent. I feel like that is just wrong for that to be the same as 2020. I'm moving this everywhere, but it's just so hard to decide. Actually, you know, with all the Epic Ultimate Rear, this is going to be very good. It needs to be very good, right? Cause Sacred Beast just themselves. And then of course there's a lot of, Power of the Duel is just a very good collectible set. Almost all the Ultis from the Hobby Boxes are crazy. So yeah, I think we put that in very good collectible wise. No, no, no, that's a good, it's a good. Okay, let's continue. 2005, okay, we're onto another pretty big one. We've got Elemental Energy. That's a huge collector set. There's a lot of big cards in there. Dark Revelation 2 is better than 3 because of the BLS, CD, all that stuff. Cybernetic Revolution is obviously insane. Dark Beginning 2, it's all right. It's not insane, but it's all right. Lost Millennium, probably one of the, it's a fan favorite GX set. It's really cool. Dark Revelation 1 was pretty good and Flaming Attorney is a personal favorite of mine. This one is gotta be at least very good, I would say. Maybe even probably not insane. I think it's better than 2009 though. So we're gonna put that right there. I think 2005 is pretty good. 2004, we're getting into the really old school stuff. We got Rise of Destiny. It's always just been like that kind of cheaper set to me because whenever I got back into it, it was really cheap, it was really abundant. I still kind of like, I mean, I don't hate it or anything. It's just not in the same level as some of these other ones. Dark Beginning 1 is I really enjoy that set. It's very cool. But actual secretaries in there have been crazy. Soul of the Duelist, very cool one. Has Horus, all that stuff. Clusa Pack, not even a really a pack. It's all the same guards. Ancient Sanctuary is kind of bleh and Invasion of Chaos is crazy. But because of Invasion of Chaos, Soul of the Duelist are beginning. I think this is a very strong one, mostly because of Invasion of Chaos. Let's put it in here around the middle of very good. Let's go with that. I think that's about right. It's better than 2009. I mean, you just can't beat Invasion of Chaos with 2009, I don't think. Two more years. We have 2003 Dark Crisis Magicians Force. I mean, that's gonna be a big one for a lot of people. Ferontic Guardian is pretty cool. Legacy of Darkness and Labyrinth of Nightmare. Dark Crisis is cool. I think Magicians Force is the only huge, like amazing set here. I do think Labyrinth of Nightmare and Legacy of Darkness are very, very good. I think they're good. Ferontic Guardian is awesome commons and rares. Hollows, not so great. And the Dark Crisis is sort of similar. A lot of the Hollows are kind of eh, they're not the best ever. So I think that we're gonna put 2003. The question is, where on very good do we put it? Because 2004, is it better than Invasion of Chaos? I think this one's the top of very good. It's better than 2004 and 2005. Just, I mean, it has Labyrinth of Nightmare. Legacy of Darkness. Invasion, I mean, those are just so iconic. This one needs to be very good. It's not insane though. It's not in the level 2007 and 2008, which are just crazy good. And finally, only four sets in 2002. We had Pharaoh Servant, Spell Ruler, Metal Raiders, and Legend of Blue Eyes, White Dragon. This has to go in the very top tier, in my opinion, because it's where it all started. And not only that, iconic cards in each one of these sets. What set could you call a dud here? They're all incredible. They all have amazing cards. Blue Eyes, White Dragon. We got Summon Skull. We got Red Eyes in here. We've got the Relinquish in here. We got Blue Eyes, Tune Dragon here. You got Jynzo. You got Buster Blade. I mean, every card, they're just so many good ones. Top tier, I mean, you could have seen that one come in 2002. It was where it started, yada yada. I didn't really think about how good 2007 and 2008 were. These two are top insane tier. I think that's pretty fair. And then this area, 2017, 2019, was not great. And then before that, it was all pretty good. But the early years are obviously gonna be probably the best because they have the oldest, most iconic stuff. But man, 2008, 2007, they really threw out some awesome reprint sets, which put them at the very top. So let me know what you guys think about this tier list. Was I completely right? Was I completely wrong about anything? I think I at least brought up everything that was pretty cool or awesome in each year. Don't forget to let me know if you guys wanna see more tier list videos in the future.
