Tactical Masters is a Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck Build Pack released August 26, 2022: five cards per pack, every card Rare or better, 24 packs per box, sold here as the 1st Edition run. Deck Build Packs are compact by design, a small pool with no commons, and this one is carried by its Labrynth cards, which make up half of the chase list on their own.
Worth the Rip's provisional model gives each pack four Rares and one foil slot: Super Rare 60%, Ultra Rare 27%, Collector's Rare about 1 in 10 and a top-tier upgrade about 1 in 33. In practice the Collector's Rares are the ceiling here, since the priced list has no Quarter Century Secret or Starlight, led by Arianna the Labrynth Servant, Lovely Labrynth of the Silver Castle and Runick Tip.
Products are loose 1st Edition packs and the 24-pack 1st Edition box.
