Top Selling Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards on TCGplayer: July 2025
By Peter Day •
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 31, 2025. 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 Dominus Impulse
Set: Rage of the Abyss
Average Sale Price: $54.57
Light, Earth, and Wind decks can’t play Dominus Impulse (without hurting themselves), but the card’s ability to negate a Special Summon and potentially destroy the offending card has made Dominus Impulse more or less mandatory in any decks that can handle that restriction. And unlike other staple cards introduced in 2024 like Mulcharmy Fuwalos, Dominus Impulse wasn’t reprinted in Quarter Century Stampede. Players have only one version of Dominus Impulse to choose from unless they want to shell out $250 for the Quarter Century Secret Rare copy.
#2 K9-17 Izuna
Set: Justice Hunters
Average Sale Price: $54.02
Released on July 31, Justice Hunters is widely considered the strongest Yu-Gi-Oh set of 2025 so far, and introduces three new competitively viable archetypes to the TCG. Foremost among them is the K9 archetype, headlined by K9-17 Izuna. If your opponent activates a monster hand trap while Izuna is in play, you can launch into a combo at Quick Effect speed that Summons K9-00 Lupis from your deck, and then XYZ Summons using Lupis and Izuna as material.
It’s telling that Izuna is the bestselling card in Justice Hunters despite being so expensive. Expect this card and its Starlight Rare version to be the chase cards from Justice Hunters for the foreseeable future.
#3 Mulcharmy Purulia
Set: The Infinite Forbidden
Average Sale Price: $66.30
Next we have Mulcharmy Purulia, one of the three Mulcharmy hand traps subbing in for Maxx “C” (which is still banned in the TCG). All three of them are must-have competitive staples across every deck, but Meowls sees the least play, and Fuwalos was reprinted in Quarter Century Stampede so the most-sold versions no longer qualify for this price bracket. That leaves Purulia as the bestselling Mulcharmy card over $50.
#4 Blue-Eyes White Dragon
Set: OTS Tournament Pack 28
Average Sale Price: $190.42
OTS Tournament Packs are prize support packs provided by Konami to game stores that run OTS events, which makes the special reprints they contain especially hard to obtain. Konami often fills these packs with cards that are or were competitively viable, but Pack 28 (released on June 18) also includes the first OTS Tournament Pack reprint of Blue-Eyes White Dragon, arguably the most beloved card in all of Yu-Gi-Oh.
This BEWD reprint has instantly become the most expensive OTS card ever. Its price has corrected back down now that more copies are being opened and entering circulation, but at time of writing it’s still barely outpacing Masked HERO Dark Law (UTR) from OTS Tournament Pack 1.
#5 Number C104: Umbral Horror Masquerade
Set: Judgment of the Light
Average Sale Price: $59.90
Number C104: Umbral Horror Masquerade was a $3 card as recently as March, but the approach of Justice Hunters sent it spiking. Now it goes for $60 (and climbing) due to being one of the best Rank 5 XYX monsters that players can summon using the new cards from the K9 archetype.
Top Selling Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards: $1.00 to $49.99
#1 Secreterion Dragon
Set: Duelist's Advance
Average Sale Price: $2.27
Secreterion Dragon hasn’t seen much competitive play yet. Still, it’s got potential, both in decks that can meet its Fusion requirements, or in decks that play Super Polymerization as a way to punish opposing Dragon/Spellcaster decks while negating the effects of any monsters they Special Summon once the Dragon’s loose.
#2 Trap Holic
Set: Duelist's Advance
Average Sale Price: $2.07
Trap Holic fits right in with the other high-impact traps in decks like Labrynth.
#3 Primite Dragon Nether Berzelius
Set: Duelist's Advance
Average Sale Price: $1.31
Primite was one of the most popular new archetypes from last year, as it helped revitalize decks built around popular Normal Monsters like Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Primite Dragon Nether Berzelius adds even more support to this mixed archetype.
#4 Medius the Pure
Set: Duelist's Advance
Average Sale Price: $5.84
Duelist’s Advance introduced the linked archetypes Artmage and Power Patron to the TCG, kicking off a new mult-year store arc in the same vein as the Diabell storyline. We should expect plenty of new support for both archetypes in the coming months as the story unfolds.
And the protagonist of that story is Medius the Pure, a key searcher in any deck that wants to use Power Patron cards.
#5 Artmage Varnish -Alteration-
Set: Duelist's Advance
Average Sale Price: $2.58
Artmage Varnish -Alteration- ties the Artmage and Power Patron archetypes together by searching up Artmage Academic Arcane Arts Acropolis and Special Summoning Medius the Pure.
