Yu-Gi-Oh! 1st Edition Strike of Neos Booster Box

This strike of neos booster box is a factory-sealed 1st Edition display of Strike of Neos, set code STON. Konami released the set in English on February 28, 2007, as the third Core Booster of Series 5 in the GX era. The box follows the standard hobby configuration of 24 packs, and each pack then holds 9 cards. This set matters out of proportion to its size, because it changed what a TCG booster could hold at the top end.

The chases in a strike of neos booster box

Elemental Hero Air Neos (STON-EN034) fronts the set as the Ultra Rare cover card and its most valuable card. Neo-Spacian Grand Mole, a humble Rare, became a competitive staple instead, so it chases far above its rarity. Grandmaster of the Six Samurai (STON-EN000) headlines the Secret Rares. Card Trooper and Neo-Parshath, the Sky Paladin fill out that tier, meanwhile, with Elemental Hero Glow Neos, Elemental Hero Dark Neos, Dark World Dealings, and Shrink behind them. YGOPRODeck’s set archive lists the full STON-EN pool.

Secret Rares return, and the Six Samurai debut

Strike of Neos brought Secret Rares back to the TCG, and it did so with nine TCG-exclusive additions rather than reprints. The released set holds 69 TCG cards: 35 Common, 14 Rare, 7 Super Rare, 4 Ultra Rare, and those 9 Secret Rares, plus 25 Ultimate Rare parallels — 94 in the Master Set. The Six Samurai archetype also debuted here, headlined by Grandmaster himself, while the Neo-Spacian Contact Fusions carried the set’s other theme.
