Right now: the best rip in Rise of the Duelist is the Booster Box [1st Ed] (24 packs) at $77.92 against $78.38 of expected pulls — a −15% margin after ~15% selling fees, and a 20% chance it actually pays for itself. Figures refresh every two hours.
Rise of the Duelist is a standard Yu-Gi-Oh! core booster from August 7, 2020: nine cards per pack, one foil hit, 24 packs per box, with five Starlight Rares over ten Secret Rares. Sealed listings here are the 1st Edition run. Several years on, its 1st Edition boxes carry the collector premium that older sealed product tends to attract, which pushes the rip margin down accordingly.
Each pack has a Rare slot and a foil slot: Super Rare about 65%, Ultra Rare roughly 1 in 4, Secret Rare near 1 in 14, Starlight or Quarter Century Secret around 1 in 100. Triple Tactics Talent is the Starlight that anchors the set, with Dogmatika Ecclesia, the Virtuous and D.D. Crow behind it; Titaniklad the Ash Dragon and Forbidden Droplet are the Secret Rares worth pulling.
Products are loose 1st Edition packs and the 24-pack 1st Edition booster box. The loose pack carries a heavier premium than the box does, so the per-pack cost is materially better by the box. Rates are community estimates, not published ones. Read the fee-adjusted margins in the live table below before deciding whether nostalgia is worth the price of entry.
