The first step to serving customer demand is to understand it. So to help you follow what’s currently popular with players and collectors, we’ve put together a pair of downloadable CSV reports of the top-selling Yu-Gi-Oh! cards of the past month.

These reports show the name and set of the Yu-Gi-Oh! cards with the highest total number of copies sold on the TCGplayer Marketplace between July 1 and July 31. The reports consider cards from different sets to be distinct (even if they have the same name), but do not distinguish copies sold by condition (Near Mint, Lightly Played, etc.) or by printing (Foil, etc.).

The two reports cover cards that had an average sale price in July within two ranges: $50.00 or more, and $1.00 to $49.99.

Here are five highlights from each report.

 

Top Selling Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards: $50 or More


#1 Fiendsmith Engraver
Set: The Infinite Forbidden
Average Sale Price: ​​$103.63

Fiendsmith Engraver forms the core of the new Fiendsmith archetype that debuted in Infinite Forbidden. The Fiendsmith engine is diabolically resilient and can be mixed with tons of other archetypes with very little cost in terms of deck slots. As a result, Fiendsmith has been burning through the current format, appearing in over half of the Top 32 decks at the North America WCQ in July, and 100% of the Top 4. Anyone who wants to compete in Yu-Gi-Oh right now is more or less required to own three copies of this card.

#2 Phantom of Yubel
Set: Battles of Legend: Terminal Revenge
Average Sale Price: ​​$52.13

Phantom of Yubel is back for another month as one of the bestselling cards in Yu-Gi-Oh. This card almost single-handedly elevated Yubel into a top-tier deck with its ability to interrupt monster effects while triggering the effects of your other Yubel cards.

#3 S:P Little Knight
Set: Age of Overlord
Average Sale Price: $76.82

Little Knight can slip into any deck and give it a way to banish any card on the field or in the graveyard, plus an extra banish on an opposing monster. While it’s gone down in price since Age of Overlord first released, it’s still in a key one-of in competitive Extra Decks.

#4 Dragon of Pride and Soul (Quarter Century Secret Rare)
Set: The Infinite Forbidden
Average Sale Price: $54.61

This card released with The Infinite Forbidden on July 19th, but its sales spiked two days later on the 21st with the reveal of an upcoming Japanese card called Dragon of Ultimate Pride and Soul. The new monster has enormous stats and splashy abilities, and the Dragon of (non-Ultimate) of Pride and Soul is expected to play a key role in helping players summon it.

#5 Silhouhatte Rabbit (Quarter Century Secret Rare)
Set: The Infinite Forbidden
Average Sale Price: $57.19

The winner of the North American WCQ last month used Silhouhatte Rabbit to reliably pull out a singleton copy of Angel Statue - Azurune, which can negate any Special Summon, and also pops a Spell or Trap card when summoned thanks to Silhouhatte Rabbit’s ability. Going forward, every deck in the format will be able to import this simple combo for the low cost of one slot in the Main Deck and one in the Extra Deck. Duelists who want a little more razzle dazzle with their magic trick are opting for this Quarter Century Secret Rare version over the normal Secret Rare version.

 

Top Selling Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards: $1.00 to $49.99


#1 The Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate
Set: The Infinite Forbidden
Average Sale Price: $2.09

The Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate gives the Exodia archetype a boss monster worth summoning in 2024. Exodia is the most iconic alternate win condition in TCGs, so players are happy for an excuse to try and make summoning The Forbidden One a viable strategy.

#2 Sengenjin Wakes from a Millennium
Set: The Infinite Forbidden
Average Sale Price: ​​$3.16

Sengenjin Wakes from a Millennium is another upgrade for Exodia decks released in The Infinite Forbidden. It effectively summons itself and searches up Shield of the Millennium Dynasty. Speaking of which…

#3 Shield of the Millennium Dynasty
Set: The Infinite Forbidden
Average Sale Price: ​​$2.08

Shield of the Millennium Dynasty has the same ability to summon itself as Sengenjin Wakes from a Millennium, and also searches up Millennium Ankh, the fusion spell that can summon The Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate.

#4 Light and Darkness Dragonlord
Set: The Infinite Forbidden
Average Sale Price: ​​$1.42

Light and Darkness Dragonlord is a “retrain” (i.e. improved replacement for) the iconic Light and Darkness Dragon card that served as the spirit partner to Chazz Princeton in the Yu-Gi-Oh GX manga. With big stats, the ability to negate anything, and the ability to replace itself when destroyed, this monster is a solid addition to any deck that can fulfill its (rather strict) fusion requirements.

#5 Mimighoul Master
Set: The Infinite Forbidden
Average Sale Price: ​​$4.36

Mimighoul Master is the key to the puzzle that is the Mimighoul archetype, which debuted in The Infinite Forbidden. Mimighoul monsters allow you to summon them face-down to your opponent’s field, and if they flip, they unleash all kinds of mayhem on your opponent before returning to your field. Mimighoul Master lets you trigger these flips as a Quick Effect to ensure your Mimighouls go off. The archetype has already seen some success as a rogue strategy in competitive Yu-Gi-Oh!
