Good news Yu-Gi-Oh! fans, the Dark Beginning 2 expansion set for the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game is here and it's packed full of power! This set dropped into a game store near you at the beginning of August 2005 and we have the scoop on the cards you can find in it, including the most expensive Yu-Gi-Oh! card ever! Check out our review.

Revealing the Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Beginning 2 Set

This set is all about taking a bunch of the cool cards that everybody plays with from the old sets - Legacy of Darkness, Metal Raiders, Invasion of Chaos, etc. - and re-releasing them so new players can still get 'em. There are also a few new cards to add to your decks.

Good News About the Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Beginning 2 Set

Packing this set with reprints means that there are a ton of useful cards in this set. Every pack you open will have cards straight out of our Killer Decks 101 "Top Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards" list so you can add 'em to almost any deck you want. This set also includes the Cyber-Stein card that someone spent $20,000 on when they were really rare. Now it's a common card - ouch!

Bad News About the Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Beginning 2 Set

It's packed with reprints so if you already have a pile of the best Yu-Gi-Oh! cards in the game, you'll get a lot of the same stuff. But, you can still use 'em as awesome traders so it's not like you're losing out by getting great cards.

Bottom Line for the Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Beginning 2 Set

It's awesome. Seriously, everybody needs a half-dozen packs from this set and maybe more. With cards like Don Zaloog, Heavy Storm, Spear Dragon, Airknight Parshath and Book of Moon in it, (and that's just a few!) this set is da bomb for Yu-Gi-Oh! duelists.

Packed with more good cards!

Cyber-Stein just got $20,000 cheaper.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Beginning 2 Thumbs Down:

If you spent $20,000 on Cyber-Stein, you got burned.

Not many new cards.
