The Cards on Blast crew dives deep into the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!—from its origins as a 1996 manga by Kazuki Takahashi to its rise as one of the most iconic trading card games on the planet. We explore its pop culture dominance, game mechanics, and some of the most valuable cards ever sold, including the legendary $2 million Tournament Black Luster Soldier.

In Hobby Headlines, JT finally tracks down a long-lost collectible, we cover the wild story of an apartment worker finding an entire print run of unsigned Jackson Merrill cards in the trash, and we discuss the frenzy surrounding Topps’ Bob Ross “Happy Painting” cut signature card.

Then in Crack That Pack, we rip into a current Yu-Gi-Oh! set, break down rarity types, and see what treasures we can pull. Our main discussion covers how Yu-Gi-Oh! compares to Pokémon and Magic, the best entry points for new players, and how the game has evolved for modern play.

In What You Got in the Stack, Bird busts out some Yu-Gi-Oh! classics—including all 5 pieces of Exodia the Forbidden One—before unveiling our Card Pull of the Week: Dragon Master Magia, Ultimate Rare, PSA 10.

Whether you’re a long-time duelist, a casual collector, or just here for the nostalgia, this episode is packed with monsters, memories, and market madness.
