Yu-Gi-Oh! Infinite Forbidden breakdown: Card list, archetypes & rarities

The Infinite Forbidden booster set from Yu-Gi-Oh!

Yu-Gi-Oh!‘s latest set is here and it’s an exciting one, thrusting one of the game’s most iconic monsters to the fore once again. Alongside that, it provides solid support for already strong archetypes and much-needed foundations for newer themes.

The headliners will likely end up being the Fiendsmith cards, with Fiendsmith Engraver the pick of the bunch. On the collectors’ side, 25 of the 101 cards in this set are available in the highly desirable Quarter Century Secret Rare rarity.

It likely won’t have the same impact on competitive play that Age of Overlord had, but it’s comfortably the most well-rounded booster set of recent times (Rarity Collections notwithstanding).

Here’s everything you need to know about Infinite Forbidden.

Infinite Forbidden card list and archetype guide

The new archetypes introduced in this set are Mulcharmy, White Forest, and Fiendsmith, with the latter looking particularly strong out of the gate. Though it will need more support in coming sets, both Fiendsmith Engraver and Fiendsmith’s Requiem are brilliant options, with some nice Common and Super Rare support in the wider set.

White Forest cards could see play in other decks, thanks to their impressive synergy with Diabellstar cards and the wider Sinful Spoils archetype. In particular, Astellar of the White Forest is a real standout, with the card’s value reflective of its potential potency.

The set also features significant support for off-meta archetypes and other popular themes across the TCG. Dark Magician gets some love this time around, with the obvious cover additions to the wider Exodia Pantheon.

That’s our full breakdown of Infinite Forbidden. Though it likely won’t have enough to entirely flip the meta on its head, there are plenty of cards here that should see local competitive play.
