Rarity Collection 5 Picks for Schoolyard Format

Rarity Collection 5 is the latest set to hit the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG and there are some GREAT Schoolyard options (including several that are already in the base deck list). Call of the Haunted, Magic Cylinder, Monster Reborn, Mystical Space Typhoon, Raigeki, and Solemn Judgement all got reprints in this set. An added bonus is that most of these have the fun alt art stamps which I’m actually a big fan of.

Obviously all of the non-effect monsters are viable options (in fact I may or may not be working on another schoolyard deck featuring some of them), but the most splashable options in my opinion are Skull Servant for a great low power addition, and PSY-Frame Driver is an awesome 1-tribute beat stick. The others require 2 tributes and might require a bit of a specific build, but there’s definitely ways to make them work.

Shoe-in additions include Compulsory Evacuation Device, Forbidden Chalice, Iron Thunder, Pot of Avarice, and Trap Dustshoot. Iron Thunder has the caveat that column effects are not applicable, but it’s a good all around negate.

Some other solid options that require a bit more specific builds include searchers like Reinforcement of the Army, Fossil Dig, Foolish Burial, and Tour Guide From the Underworld, as well as some interesting interactions such as Called By the Grave (for interupting reborn effects), and Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin.

We got some really good Schoolyard options here and I especially like the special stamp printings. What are your favorites from Rarity Collection 5?
