Rarity Collection V isn't just another all-foil set, it's the specific product that put full art cards in English-language Yu-Gi-Oh packs for the first time.
Knowing exactly how the set is built matters more than usual here, since the full art cards are tucked into one specific slot, not scattered randomly across the whole pack.
This guide walks through Rarity Collection V's actual structure, official launch details, and where the ten extended art cards sit inside it.
Every detail below comes directly from Konami's own Rarity Collection V product page.
Rarity Collection V launched at retail on April 17, 2026, with Official Tournament Stores getting early access two days earlier on April 15. Konami set MSRP at $5.99 per five-card pack, with a 152-card total set size across the main pool and variant art pool combined.
That launch date makes Rarity Collection V a current, active retail product rather than a discontinued or import-only release, which is part of why demand around full art search terms has climbed so quickly. Pricing at a standard booster rate, rather than a premium box-only product, also puts full art within reach of a normal pack-opening budget.
Every five-card pack is entirely foil, with four cards pulled from an approximately 80-card main set spanning Super Rare up through Starlight Rare, and one guaranteed card from a separate roughly 68-card variant art pool. That fifth-slot guarantee is what makes the variant art pool, and the full art cards inside it, a built-in part of every single pack rather than a rare bonus.
This two-pool design mirrors the structure Konami used for Quarter Century Bonanza and Quarter Century Stampede, the two sets that preceded Rarity Collection V in this specific product line. Recognizing that lineage helps explain why the set behaves differently from a standard core booster.
The ten extended art cards, numbered RA05-EN141 through EN150, are mixed in among the other 58 standard-design variant art cards inside that fifth-slot pool, not spread across the main 80-card set. That means the full art chase is entirely contained within one part of the pack, which simplifies figuring out your actual odds compared to a full 152-card spread.
Confirmed extended art cards include Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Kurikara Divincarnate, Super Polymerization, and Dominus Purge, all established, popular cards getting the new full-bleed treatment rather than obscure fillers. That selection is a deliberate signal that Konami is using full art to spotlight cards collectors already recognize and want.
The main 80-card pool spans Super Rare, Ultra Rare, Secret Rare, Platinum Secret Rare, Ultimate Rare, Collector's Rare, and Starlight Rare, the standard high end of Yu-Gi-Oh's current rarity ladder. None of those seven rarities carry the extended art treatment themselves, since full art is exclusive to the separate variant art pool.
That separation is worth remembering before assuming a Starlight Rare pulled from the main pool looks anything like the extended art Starlight Rare pulled from the fifth slot, since only the latter carries the full-bleed border-breaking artwork.
Rarity Collection V is the fifth entry in this specific line, following the original Rarity Collection plus Quarter Century Bonanza and Quarter Century Stampede, both of which counted toward the numbering. Each prior entry introduced its own headline attraction, but none of them included an actual full art print treatment until this release.
That makes Rarity Collection V a genuine format milestone within its own product line, not just another iteration with a new card list.
Because full art pulls come specifically from the fifth slot, checking whether a pack's fifth card carries the extended border treatment is the fastest way to confirm a genuine full art hit before checking anything else. A standard-design variant art card in that same slot is still a guaranteed pull, just not the full art treatment specifically.
Whether you're opening packs or buying singles, keeping full art pulls in a properly sized toploader immediately protects the extended foil surface from day one, before it ever changes hands again.
