Structure decks are a cost-effective method of getting into Yugioh, they allow you to obtain a reasonably strong Deck without emptying your wallet. Purchasing 3 of the same Structure Deck is the best way to get going, they usually come with a few cards each that are effective in almost any deck.
Weirdly enough, certain cards can be worth more than what you paid for the whole structure deck after a year or two!
Whether you’re just looking to get started in Yugioh or trying to earn a bit of money, structure decks are for you. Choosing the right one is important though, lucky for you there’s a list right here to help you decide!
P.S – A recommended section has been added to each entry with the function of providing single cards you should add to the structure deck. Using all relevant links, you’ll be able to get a deck ready for dueling instantly!
10. HERO Strike
Specifically for Masked HERO Dark Law and Elemental HERO Shadow Mist, the HERO Strike structure deck is insanely good. There’s a reason its one of the most expensive structure decks on the market (for non-collectable reasons). Masked HERO cards will never go out of date, they bring so much to the table and can topple countless strategies of a multitude of decks.
Personally I can’t even use my HERO deck built from this set against my friends, Dark Law counters so many of their decks on his own.
In the recent Legendary Hero Decks, HEROs received even more support to help solidify them as a quality archetype.
You also get some awesome cards like Neo-Spacian Grand Mole, Honest, Summoner Monk and Pot of Duality!

9. Dinosmasher’s Fury
Finally, the dinosaur type is no longer a laughing stock. Too long they sat on the sidelines, too long they remained a joke of a type, now they’re featured as one of the best structure decks in the game. In all fairness, Dinosmasher’s Fury released a ton of new dinosaur cards and support to go with them. Boy were they needed, upgrading the dinosaur type to one that can rival almost any type or archetype in the game.
Not only do you obtain some awesome dinosaur cards, you get plenty of epic cards like Twin Twisters, Unexpected Dai, Ojama Trio, Quaking Mirror Force and Grand Horn of Heaven!

8. Zombie Horde
Right now, this structure deck is the only one on the to provide enough cards to consider making a competitively viable deck. Generic zombies are now an exceptional rogue choice, topping local tournaments is now possible for such a small price!
Doomking Balerdroch is the main culprit, being an absolute nightmare to deal with for the opponent. Not only is this deck powerful, it has incredible art and a fun playstyle. So overall, it’s clearly one of the best structure deck in Yugioh!
I will always recommend it, but a new structure deck has recently been released which has insane value for money..

7. Soulburner
Any deck containing a copy of the best hand-trap in the game deserves to be first, even more so with how good the Salamangreat archetype is. As recently as February, a Salamangreat build topped a Regional event which is pretty crazy. So not only does the Soulburner structure deck provide awesome value for money, it has upgrade potential to become tournament level.
Collector wise, you get a variety of shiny cards including 3 Ultra Rares and 4 Super Rares. The addition of Salamangreat Circle to the TCG is huge, and really boosts the power and consistency of Salamangreats seven-fold. Few decks can cope with how reliably potent this archetype is!

6. Order of the Spellcasters
Order of the Spellcasters is the most recent structure deck to be released, and also by far the best on its own. Providing a number of great staples, it utilises past support for Spellcasters too.
Gameplay-wise, Order of the Spellcasters is based around spell counters. In previous years, such a mechanic has always been down-trodden. However, the wave of new support has dramatically increased the effectiveness of spell counters.
Their main boss monster Endymion, the Mighty Master of Magic is a huge upgrade over the previous one, Endymion, the Master Magician. Day-Breaker the Shining Magical Warrior is another great addition.
A variant of this structure deck even managed to reach 2nd place in a Brazilian Regional. Showing just how much it can compete!

Recommended cards to add:
- Mythical Beasts (Jackal, Jackal King, Master Cerberus & Mythical Institution)
- Supreme package (Gate Zero & Darkwurm)
- Timegazer Magician
- Chronograph Sorceror
5. Emperor of Darkness
By far the oldest structure deck on the list. However, Emperor of Darkness is based around the Monarch archetype.
While they aren’t currently played competitively, Monarchs have seen their consistency boosted by the leniance of support cards on the forbidden list.
Konami tends to love this archetype too, so no doubt there’ll be support in the future.
No extra deck is needed at all to play Monarchs, making them attractive for players who don’t tend to enjoy the Link or Synchro mechanics.

Recommended cards to add:
- Allure of Darkness
- One for One
- Kuraz the Light Monarch
- Majesty’s Fiend
- Vanity’s End
4. Shadoll Showdown
Released around the time El Shaddoll Construct was removed from the forbidden list, Shaddolls are a re-emerging archetype with plenty of new support.
El Shaddoll Apkallone is a nutty new card, released with the structure deck. Easy to summon, solid ATK/DEF stats and epic effects.
It still hasn’t propelled Shaddolls back into the competitive scene but this structure deck is great for casual duels and might be valuable in the future.

- Performages
- Beat Cop from the Underworld

3. Mechanized Madness
Konami seems to love the Machina archetype, as they’ve received plenty of support in the form of booster sets, starter decks and now a structure deck.
The best structure deck to get for a new player, requiring little in the way of strategy compared to other decks.
Simple cards, such as Machina Overdrive, allow you to pump out the stronger Machina monsters. Meanwhile, those monsters are happy to bring back the lower level ones from the graveyard.
Solemn Strike, Pot of Avarice, Trap Trick and even a Kaiju monster are included. Providing plenty of staples to add to your collection.

2. Rokket Revolt
Rather than being a viable deck on it’s own, the Rokket archetype is best used when supplemented with other deck combinations. Such as dragons or dinosaurs.
A lot of the good Rokket cards were only available at high rarities in booster boxes, fetching high prices. With the print of the Rokket Revolt structure deck, you can get many of the important cards for a small price.

1. Sacred Beasts
Arguably the coolest structure deck in Yugioh history, Konami actually making a structure deck based on what are basically god cards is crazy!
Each of the sacred beasts got individual support cards, as well as an entire new playstyle in the form of low level fiend type monsters with 0 ATK/DEF.
Summoning the sacred beasts is now pitifully easy, supporting them is a breeze with all these new fiend type monsters.
As such, competitive decks have sprung up, based solely on the structure decks.
Yep, you can literally get a fully competitive deck for less than $50!
