how much does the dlc add?

[some rando]

when i googled this the answer seemed to be "2 decks and some more duels" but no one specified how much exactly is added. 2 decks how? 2 deck recipes with all new cards? mostly new cards? partially new cards? how many new cards are being added for say, duelist kingdom? how many extra duels in story mode? does it add new characters? new dialouge?

i dont own the game yet but im probably buying it later this week and im considering maybe getting some of the dlc with it but i'd like to know a bit more about it first. basically, i wanna know what i'd miss.

cheers

oh wow, this is way less content than i thought. i think im gonna pass on the dlc until it goes on sale. thanks

one thing that didn't answer though, how many of the cards in those decks are actually added by the dlc and weren't already in the main game? (rough estimate)

[some rando]

thats fine, the base game should be enough until then. any idea how many cards the game has without dlc? steam or non-steam, i would be surprised if there's a significant difference anyhow

Each DLC has 2 decks (one has 3) 40 cards each + extra deck, and 3 copies of cards included.
Base card has about 6000 cards, and with ALL the DLC it adds roughly another 1500-ish.

Each DLC also includes some story duels and deck avatars. They're usually on the DLC page.

so the decks are all new cards then (or mostly at least). alright then, thanks guys.

All new cards. Decks don't include cards that you already get in-game for free.

Just gonna add a couple numbers here, so we have more facts and less "about".

Total cards in the game including all DLC are 7484.
Adding all available Boosters together gives us 24*265 + 2*238 = 6836 cards, which should be the reachable number without any DLC.

So since all cards you get through DLCs are new ones not available elsewhere (I believe?), 648 cards are gotten through the 17 DLCs. (card-quality not taken into account ofc)

Thanks for this! Very helpful, my guess of 1500 was wayy over, lmao.
