An '''Ultimate Rare card has ''' cards have an "embossed" foil on the Card Artwork, including the borders of artworks, [[Attribute ]] icon, and on [[Monster CardsCard]]s, the [[Level Stars]] stars. The card name is printed gold, like an [[Ultra Rare]]. When scanned, the embossed image may be muted and the image indistinct from the background. This card rarity is very hard for [[Scaler]]s to find, since the card is much thinner than a normal [[Super Rare]] or [[Ultra Rare]], with a weight comparable to that of a [[Common]]. Ultimate Rare cards usually also come in a less rare variety that can be found in the same booster with the same card number.
''[[OCG ]]'' Ultimate Rares tend to scan much better than their TCG counterparts, due to a slightly reflective coating present on all OCG cards (but lacking on TCG cards). This has the advantage of brightening the image, and making the foil image more distinct than on a TCG equivalent. In the OCG, Ultimate Rares have been known to be printed as independent rarities, while they are used exclusively as an additional Booster Pack rarity in the TCG.
When they were first introduced in the TCG, Ultimate Rare cards often only had partial foil on the Card artwork, usually the background. Starting partially in ''[[Soul of the Duelist]]'' and from ''[[Enemy of Justice]]'' onwards, the entire picture would be embossed in foil. From ''[[Duelist Revolution]]'' onward, the card border and the lore text border are embossed in foil as well.
