Yu-Gi-Oh!: 10 Best Structure Decks For Tabletop Play

Good for both newcomers and those wanting a competitive edge, here are the best Yu-Gi-Oh!'s preconstructed Structure Decks.

Posts

This set doesn't just cater to players though, as it expands the already impressive collection of Quarter Century Secret Rare cards, which have become cherished treasures for seasoned duelists and Yu-Gi-Oh! collectors. So, with over 100 cards to collect in this release, each possessing its own purpose, you may be left wondering which singles are worth adding to your deck or collection.

All prices in this list are taken from TCGPlayer.com and are subject to change over time.

10 T.G Glaive Blaster

The Cheap Quarter Century Secret Rare Banisher

Quarter Century Secret Rare cards are not easy to pull, which often results in high prices. So, one that is only $15 is a collector's dream. However, despite being so cheap, T.G Glaive Blaster is still a very good card that will slot nicely into your T.G Decks.

You can take full advantage of its effect, which allows you to Banish cards, and you can use it multiple times in a single turn. You can also Special Summon Banished monsters, regardless of their Summon conditions with this card. That’s not all though, because it also has 4,000 ATK and DEF, meaning it’s a monster that isn’t easy for your opponent to take down.

  • $0.27 (Ultra Rare)
  • $15 (Quarter Century Secret Rare)

9 S:P Little Knight

Some Knights Are Little, But That Just Makes Them Scarier

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that S:P Little Knight is expensive, and that’s why you should be cautious if you buy it. When cards enter the game that are zero cost, like Pot of Greed for example, they soon find their way onto the forbidden list. However, it hasn't been banned yet, meaning it's still a solid pick up for the current meta.

It allows you to banish your opponent's monsters and works way too well in any deck. While you can argue that you will have to banish something on your side of the field too, you can actually choose S:P Little Knight itself, offering it protection for the rest of the turn.

8 WANTED: Seeker Of Sinful Spoils

Create Sinful Behaviour When You Spoil The Game

Having cards that give you drawing power will always succeed in Yu-Gi-Oh! Who wouldn’t want to be able to gain access to their cards faster? But what WANTED: Seeker of Sinful Spoils does so well is work together with Diabellstar The Black Witch, and Original Sinful Spoils - Snake-Eye, which are also included in this set.

When all three are combined, you can create an infinity loop of being able to recover, search, and play all three cards. This allows you to essentially draw endlessly. This effect can be negated with cards such as Droll & Lock Bird or Ash Blossom, but if your opponent has neither, it’s game over for them.

  • $60 (Standard Secret Rare)
  • $150 (Quarter Century Secret Rare)

7 Gen The Diamond Tiger / Ken The Warrior Dragon

Warriors On The Battlefield, Brothers In Your Deck

Close

If you’re looking for two cards that won’t break the bank and work so well together, Gen The Diamond Tiger and Ken The Warrior Dragon are for you. Not only do they allow you to discard cards that you would prefer to be in the Graveyard, but they also make your opponent discard potentially crucial cards too.

Being a pair of Level Three’s means that you can summon these easily and because each of these summon the other you’ll soon have the duo at your disposal. What’s even better is after the damage step, they return to the hand ready to be played again.

  • $0.21 Gen The Diamond Tiger (Common)
  • $0.19 Ken The Warrior Dragon (Common)

6 Dark Hole Dragon

A Brutal Reminder Of How Good Dark Hole Still Is

Cards that unlock a level of nostalgia will always be desired. Dark Hole Dragon is one of those cards as it incorporates one of the first-ever Spell Cards printed, Dark Hole, both in its name and its effect.

The fact it cannot be destroyed by card effects places it as a fantastic monster to include in a deck, especially considering its high ATK stat. It also offers an incredible revival effect while also giving you access to Dark Hole, which has the potential to wipe out your opponent’s field.

5 Diabellstar The Black Witch

The Witch That Doesn't Know How To Stay In The Graveyard.

Whether you’re figuring out their new mechanics for the first time, or finding cards that gel so well with them to create powerful decks, new archetypes are always fun to play. All these reasons make up why Diabellstar The Black Witch, especially when paired with the Sinful Spoils cards, is a hoot to play around with.

What makes it so enjoyable is the infinite loop you can create with WANTED: Seeker of Sinful Spoils and Original Sinful Spoils - Snake-Eye. This loop will have you sending Diabellstar The Black Witch to the Graveyard, and then Special Summoning it once again. All the while the Sinful Spoils cards are providing you with Level One Fire-Type monsters and free cards to draw.

  • $25 (Standard Secret Rare)
  • $150 (Quarter Century Secret Rare)

4 Imsety, Glory of Horus.

A Paladin That Has Bestowed Glory To Your Horus Deck.

Horus decks get quite the rejuvenation in Age of Overlord. Imsety, Glory of Horus predominantly acts as a card that allows you to be able to send cards to the Graveyard, including itself. By doing this you also get to draw one card. Allowing you to reach the specific cards you may need earlier.

3 Super Starslayer TY-PHON - Sky Crisis

Countering Your Opponent's Effects? No Problem

While getting a Rank 12 monster out may not be any easy feat, fielding a Super Starslayer TY-PHON - Sky Crisis is actually a lot easier than most. It does require your opponent to Special Summon from the extra deck, but if we’re being honest, that happens a lot in competitive Yu-Gi-Oh!. Perhaps a little too often.

Once fielded, you will have the perfect counter to any of your opponent's monster effects, providing they have 3,000 ATK or more. Furthermore, you can disrupt your opponent by sending cards they control back to their hand. Leaving them wide open for your direct attacks.

  • $20 (Ultra Rare)
  • $160 (Quarter Century Secret Rare)

2 Arias The Labrynth Butler

Butlers Are There To Serve You, Arias Does Just That

Being able to counter your opponent with a Trap Card has been a strong form of protection since the inception of Yu-Gi-Oh! What made Traps less viable, however, is the fact that they often need to be set a turn before they can be played.

However, with Arias The Labrynth Butler, Traps now become a strong option, given the fact with this card you can set and play Traps in the same turn! But that’s not it, because it can also be used to Special Summon your other Labrynth monsters, making the archetype that much easier to play.

  • $11 (Standard Secret Rare)
  • $85 (Quarter Century Secret Rare)

1 Magicians Of Bonds And Unity

A Second Chance At A Phenomenal Quarter Century Secret Rare

If you missed your chance of obtaining this card in Duelist Nexus, now you can pick it up at a fraction of the cost. The effect is very situational, but when achieved, it will allow it to reach 5,000 ATK and DEF, giving you a game-winning monster on your field.

However, it’s the artwork that makes this card desirable. Positioning two Magicians front and centre. Very fitting when you consider Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl are some of the monsters that solidified the Yu-Gi-Oh! brand and card game. Now, where’s our Blue Eyes White Dragon and Red Eyes Black Dragon variant, Konami?
