'''Ultra Rare''' (Japanese: {{Ruby|ＵＲ|ウルトラレア }} ''Urutora Rea'', or simply '''Ultra''') cards are identified by having a gold card name and a holofoil image. The card name can also be red, but these are only available in Japanese promos. The odds of getting an Ultra Rare in a Booster Pack was around 1:12 in Booster Packs before ''[[Soul of the Duelist]]''. From ''Soul of the Duelist'' onwards, the odds became around 1:24. Reprint sets released after ''Soul of the Duelist'' such as ''[[Dark Revelation Volume 3]]'' use the 1:12 ratio. After ''[[Tactical Evolution]]'' the odds dropped back down to 1:12. In the oldest ''[[OCG]]'' packs, such as the first ''[[Premium Pack (Japanese)|Premium Pack]]'', almost all cards are Ultra Rare.
In earlier pre-constructed decks, both [[Starter Deck|Starter]] and [[Structure Deck]]s, there is one card (except ''[[Structure Deck: Dragonic Legion]]''/''[[Dragons Collide Structure Deck]]'' which contains two) printed in Ultra Rare. Later Structure Decks, such as ''[[Structure Deck: Master of Pendulum]]''/''[[Master of Pendulum Structure Deck]]'', have more than 1. These are usually the featured cards of the deck and the highlight of their collection. However, these cards are always predetermined, so it's entirely for appearance and not rarity.
