Are you looking for a gift for a Yu-Gi-Oh player? There are so many products to choose from that it can be daunting. No need to worry, though. We got you covered with our Yu-Gi-Oh Gift Guide for 2021, so you’ll pick a great gift for birthday, Christmas, or anything else.
So let’s take a look at some of the best gifts for a Yu-Gi-Oh player. If you’re in a hurry here’s a quick recap of our favorite gift ideas for Yu-Gi-Oh players:
| Gift | Quality | |
|---|---|---|
 | Synchro Storm Booster Box | Best overall |
 | Tin of Ancient Battles | Less pricey option |
 | ChromiaSkin Deck Box | Useful and cool |
However, if you do have time, let’s take a look at these and other Yu-Gi-Oh gifts in more detail.
Yu-Gi-Oh Booster Box
Booster Display (or Booster Box) is the gift which you simply can’t miss with. Each Booster Box contains 24 booster packs. When you get a booster box as a gift, it’s like you got a bunch of smaller gifts in a big one. It’s amazing, and every Yu-Gi-Oh player will love it.
There are many booster boxes to choose from. Usually, your best choice is to get the latest editions. So, which ones would that be? Well, the newest one that’s actually released is Dawn of Majesty. However, it was released in August 2021, so it might be better to go for something newer.
With that in mind, we should take a look at the next set. That would be Legendary Duelists: Synchro Storm. (It’s featured on the image above.) The set will be released on October 28th, 2021, and you can already order it on Amazon.
If you’d prefer another booster box, take a look at our article about the best Yu-Gi-Oh Booster Boxes here.
Yu-Gi-Oh Tin of Ancient Battles
Golden Sarcophagus is a great box with an amazing design. It’s great to store cards in. But that’s not all — it also contains cards and is a great gift for all types of Yu-Gi-Oh players.
Each Tin of Ancient Battles contains 3 extra-large Mega Packs. Each one of those has 18 cards:
- 1 Prismatic Secret Rare
- 2 Ultra Rares
- 2 Super Rares
- 1 Rare
- 12 Commons
That’s a total of 53 cards! On top of that everything comes packed in a cool looking golden box. The artwork features Dark Magician battling against the Blue-Eyes White Dragon — both are iconic Yu-Gi-Oh characters.
If you decide to buy this as your Yu-Gi-Oh gift, make sure that you’re buying the 2021 version of the product. There’s also a 2020 version, and your giftee might already have one.
Legendary Dragon Decks Box
Who doesn’t love dragons? This box comes with three decks, each featuring some of the most powerful dragons from Yu-Gi-Oh such as Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon and more.
Each box contains:
- One 41-card deck
- Two 40-card decks
- Three 10-11 card extra decks
- Four Dragon cards with special art
- Fifteen foil cards — 5 for each deck
Since each box comes with a total of three main decks, this is also a great gift idea if you have multiple children who play Yu-Gi-Oh.
The only problem with this box is that it’s a bit older, and therefore more enfranchised players may already have one. Furthermore, it’s become somewhat rare, and has a higher price. But don’t worry. If you want to get Yu-Gi-Oh decks as a gift, you habve another cool and less pricey option — Yugi’s Legendary decks.
Yugi’s Legendary Decks
This is actually a reprint of the older product, but it’s still a very nice gift, especially for newer Yu-Gi-Oh players. For more experienced players, something like a booster box would be a better gift.
Anyway, each box contains three decks, each with 41 cards. Each of them was used in the Yu-Gi-Oh anime, which makes them even more special. Here are how the decks were used in the show:
- Yugi used one of the decks in the first season, including his first duel against his nemesis Seito Kaiba.
- The second deck was inspired by Yugi’s Duels in the Battle City.
- Yugi played the final deck against The Pharaoh in the final Duel of the original series.
So if your giftee is a fan of the Yu-Gi-Oh anime, this can be a great gift for them.
Kaiba Corporation Card Sleeves
Yu-Gi-Oh cards can be quite pricey. Because of that, players almost always use sleeves to protect their cards. Besides, it also makes shuffling easier. All of that makes sleeves a great gift for Yu-Gi-Oh players.
Maybe you’re worried that card sleeves are a bland gift. Well, take a look at Kaiba Corporation sleeves. They look totally dope, and that’s not all. The front side is made in a way that all the cards you sleeve in them have a holographic look.
You’ll get a pack of 50 sleeves, which is enough for a 40-card deck with an 10-card extra deck.
However, an extra sleeve always comes in handy when an older one splits, so we’d recommend you to get at least two packs. This is probably the most useful item on our Yu-Gi-Oh gift guide that just about every player will use.
Deck Box
Speaking of the most useful items, we should definitely mention deck boxes. Deck boxes are just what the name suggests — a box to store your deck in. They come in plenty of different styles. And as with card sleeves, every player needs a deck box.
If your giftee has a bunch of cards laying everywhere, you can get them a set of six simple deck boxes. On the other hand if you’re looking for a something more durable and nice, we’d recommend Ultimate Guard’s Sidewinder.
But honestly, any deck box you’ll get from the Ultimate Guard, will be great. They are just that good. Besides, they also have some cool designs. For example, here’s a deck box that changes colors on touch. It makes a perfect Yu-Gi-Oh gift.
