6Centur-Ion Emeth 6 (Collector’s Rare) $48.44
Get To Your High Level Synchro Summons Quicker.
If you want your Centu-Ion army to be even stronger, look no further than Centur-Ion Emeth 6.

5Stand Up Centur-Ion! (Collector’s Rare) $66.18
A Field Spell That Enhances Your Centur-Ion Monsters.
Valiant Smashers really leans into its Centur-Ion archetype, and this Field Spell card is one of many cards that enhances the archetype’s usability. Stand Up Centur-Ion cannot be destroyed by your opponent’s card effects, enabling you to Synchro Summon with ease, search your deck for specific cards, and fill your Graveyard with cards from your hand.
The Super Rare variant of this card is perfect should you just need a few copies to add to your deck, as it’s a cheap card to pick up. However, if you’re a collector, then the Collector’s Rare is a must-have for your collection, albeit at the cost of setting you back over $65.
4Centur-Ion Legatia (Quarter Century Secret Rare) $74.55
Arguably The Best Synchro Monster From The Entire Set.
Centur-Ion is the combination of everything you’d want in a duel. It offers protection to your weaker monsters, allows you to draw cards, destroys your opponent’s attacking prowess, and brings back cards that have ended up in the Graveyard. There’s very little more you could ever need from a singular card, making this an incredible card to have in your deck.
Collectors can also admire this card’s beauty in three different variants within Valiant Smashers. Ultra, Collectors, and Quarter Century Secret Rare give you a playset of each type of rarity ready to eliminate your opponent with or look neat inside a binder.
3Archlord Kristya (Quarter Century Secret Rare) $101.66
A Classic Card With A Fresh Coat Of Holofoil.
There aren’t many cards in this set worth over $100, but Archlord Kristya makes sure it’s one of them. It’s actually the most expensive Quarter Century Secret Rare in the set, which may be a surprise given that four other copies of this card existed before this reprint.
Nonetheless, it remains to be desirable, and in Quarter Century Secret Rare, it’s definitely one for the binder. If you’re looking to pick up this card for your Fairy decks, however, you can do so easily, as this card is also printed as a standard rare in this set, and with six rare cards per pack, that version shouldn’t be too hard to pull.
2Centur-Ion Trudea (Collector’s Rare) $107.41
Double its Level And Bring Out Your Centur-Ion Legatia.
With Centur-Ion’s being so heavily promoted in this set, it gives you an excellent chance to try them out at your next local tournament. If you do, make sure you pick up a Centur-Ion Trudea. It comes in Ultra Rare and Collectors Rare in this set. However, the Collector’s Rare might be something you keep for the binder.
With effects that allow it to increase its level by four and add cards from your hand or deck to the field, you’ll soon be Synchro Summoning into your Centur-Ion Legatia with ease. From there, you may dominate your opponent and wipe out their field.
1Centur-Ion Primera (Collector’s Rare) $108.51
Protect Your Centur-Ions, Search Your Deck, Spend A Lot Of Money.
Centur-Ion Primera is a Spellcaster/Tuner card that can be treated as a continuous trap card. It is perfect for getting out your Synchro monsters, offering protection to your Centur-Ion monsters, or gaining an advantage by searching your deck for specific cards.
The Collector Rare variant is the most expensive card in the set while also being the second most expensive Ultra Rare. Its cost is down to its effects, which make it excellent in a duel. The card itself also boasts some incredible artwork. All of these factors mean it’s not just a valuable card to pull but perhaps one of the best cards you can get in the set as well.
