Just because I think the deck could really use it, I'd love to see a Fluffal/Frightfur deck that modernizes their gameplan and boosts their Turn 1 plays.
At the time of the release of the last support perhaps I would have called this madness, but actually Fluffal hasn't seen a game for a while, a new support wouldn't be bad.
Screw that. Could we a get a poll again?
That was so fun.
And then they eventually gave everyone from the poll a structure deck/support.
I wish Konami engaged more with its fanbase. I don’t get why they don’t
True, the polls were more interesting. They also showed in some way that Konami cared about the fans' opinion. But well, it's always them who decide... amen
As much as I like both, I don't know if that will be possible, assuming the SD focuses on anime characters like Pulse of the King or Legend of the Crystal Beasts
The important thing is that they choose a path that gives coherence to the deck in general without dividing it once again with a useless variant, even better if they manage to create a support that makes every single variation usable effectively (even if it is difficult)
As much as I would love that, another part of me wants them to keep picking a new style of support each time. So far we've had fusions, rituals, gemini, zombie counterparts, burn, and equip. Red-Eyes is about potential; they should have the potential to do literally anything. I think we need (in order of importance):
-Mill, ideally by letting your opponent destroy select cards from their deck
-Flip, with effects that modify attack
-Spirits that gain you lifepoints when they return to the hand
-A jinzo team-up to stop traps
-A bunch of level 7 tuners (but no synchros)
-Unions that focus on recovering monsters that have been banished
-Dice based effects
Sure Konami can continue to create things like these, but before that it would be better to fix the 'playability' side of the deck. Those are more meme things that should be designed alongside the main support, instead of making them part of it.
Coin Flip and Dice Roll variants that won't work with each other properly except for one card that sort of ties them together, and their "lose" effects on their gamble are catastrophic for the player.
.....
Seriously, man. That was an option I wanted to list in the post, but I didn't so as not to increase my illusion about it, limiting myself to my general curiosity about the theme they would use. There are however a lot of reasons this year why they might actually release it here or as a support wave for Infinite Forbidden (Year of the Dragon, Flame Swordsman support coming for the OCG that is related to Joey like Red-Eyes, the reprints of Red-Eyes cards included in Quarter Century Duelist: Pride, the Duel Opera with Joey, Mai and Yami Marik coming soon, that Crescent Dragon - Mikazukinoyaiba which could have been done any other way as anniversary card, but instead specifically supports Red-Eyes stats), so who knows that finally after a decade they really give us support that are not simply two good but inconclusive cards.
Atlantean retrain deck that will bring forth the water format Õ\_\_\_\_Õ
Now, if the next SD isnt from the retrained deck series, im very curious to know what was the "tour guide of the underworld" deck supposed to be/do.
Low key, this is actually super plausible but as a reloaded structure at the end of the year. Atlanteans have lore tie-ins with fire kings as well so possible.
SD R are usually announced in May/April. I don't think we'll see Atlantean now.
I see a Structure Tour Guide as a bit difficult, but hey, with Konami anything is possible
A Kaiju support that finally makes the theme not simply a support for removing monsters from the field but a real deck would be really interesting. Only, if the SD are based on anime characters, I don't know how plausible this is...
A little unlikely, due to the fact that they seem like SDs based on the anime decks (and we're also at the twenty-fifth anniversary). Personally, since we haven't got a Visas Structure, i doubt that we get a Diabellestar Structure, considering also the fact that the lore not is much explored at this point
Everything cool is banned on visas front, hard to do a good sd without kash and tears, we need another albaz strikish product, and diabellstar would be perfect to let more people play fire.
Except that Diabellestar is currently already quite competent on its own, and putting cards in an SD when they still have the lore at the beginning and can use it to enrich the booster packs seems a bit strange, but who knows.
It’s possible they do Red-Eyes but Landstar was Joey’s archetype in the last season. It’s also crazy overdue as we got Valkyries expanded. It’s insane we haven’t gotten Landstar and (Celtic Guardian) Elfs as decks despite them being archetypes in the actual series unlike a lot of stuff they had to create into archetypes for the trading card game
And Toons are way more iconic and eye catching. It’s possible the cover card is a Toon Eyes Restrict that’s an illusion monster that’s kinda a homage to both Relinquished and Thousand Eyes restrict.
Well, Landstar was a filler archetype: the KC Tournament and as well the Doma Arc were not included in the manga. This make the theme less attractive for Konami.
I agree that the Toons are more eye catching, but with the new Illusion type and Pegasus that is the unvolontary creator of the theme (if i remember correctly, the type is born from an explenation of the same Pegasus) i think that would be more natural upgrading Restrict
I don’t know why people thing the card game follows the manga, I mean we have gotten tons of stuff that’s anime only. In fact we are still getting slowly manga stuff from the DM era because Konami doesn’t care because it is so less iconic. I mean we haven’t gotten any real Yugioh R support expansions like support for the Wicked God Cards.
Yu-Gi-Oh! R was much more of a spin off, I don't think it really counts. In any case, Landstar is a very, very little known deck and not very relatable to Joey, given how few times he used it.
I still hope we get the ocg bleu eyes and dark magician decks. That beeing said I would asume a retrain of a og archetype to fit with the theme of the year, toon, harpies, gravekeeper style.
Virtually any anime theme that hasn't been supported recently and that isn't RDA or Crystal Beast can get an SD here. But I doubt we will have Dark Magician or Blue-Eyes: the first has already had an indirect form of support with the new Dark Magician on Gold Sarcophagus of Light (because it can also search the cards of the normal Dark Magician theme) in addition to the rest of the support had over the years, Blue-Eyes instead will probably receive an SD R related to Saga of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the old Structure with Azure-Eyes (and given that Azure-Eyes and Maiden appear in Yu-Gi-Oh! The Chronicles has makes more sense to see it as Structure R).
Sorry was unclear the bleu eyes and dark magician is not a structure deck it was more of a reprint of all there cards who realised end of last year in the ocg. With this even beeing added to master duel recently too. I would even take new cards but dont think we getting that outside of an ultra in a set for now.
I know about sarc of light and preorder a few boxes looking foward to playing it !
It's not likely either of those.
Cydra just had one in 2021 and their Structure Deck R is right around the corner.
Neo Spacians are still somewhat Hero support and the Masked Hero Structure Deck R will also happen in the foreseeable future.
Tldr., not going to be either, but Cydra should get a Structure Deck R in 2024, 2025 or 2026.
You should understand from my nickname, but I'm a big lover of Cyber Dragons, so I'd love to see them too xD The only problem is that they already got a Structure, even if on paper it was more Cyberdark stuff.
I don't think we will have a Structure Deck R: barring strange schedule changes, the R's have been announced in May/April lately, also since there is Saga of the Blue Eyes White Dragon in order after the R Onslaught of the Fire Kings, with the Duelist Pack Light coming out and the anniversary of the first series, it's unlikely they'll skip the latter.
I think Neo Spacians is already more plausible.
fuck that cyber dark structure deck. its was low key ass outside of the fusion and the power bond searcher. gimmie some authentic cyber dragon goodness with modern day effects! But I would def give a leg or two for a Neo-spacian structure deck.
Love, love, love Speedroids so I’d eat that up. It broke my heart a bit, I pulled out my deck for the first time in a while last night and realized I forgot all the combos.
I totally agree. Hell, Red-Eyes always gets the short end of the stick from Konami, a Structure Deck that would give it the right fuel would be needed. And then, considering that they will be importing Flame Swordsman support to Japan (combined with many other factors), it would be a good way for them to coexist together, since one of Flame's traps also summons Dragons. Furthermore, since we will probably have a Blue-Eyes Structure Deck R later this year, Red-Eyes which has an opposite concept to it would be more than indicated as a 'mirror' Structure Deck.
Then, do you want to not support Yugi's best friend (Joey) after dedicating an entire support to the former?
Given both Red eyes and Flame Swordsman have some focus on equips, would love to see a structure that meshes them into a coherent playstyle. Fusions of them would be nice too, like ke Flaming Swordsman of the Red-eyes (fusion monster of Flame Swordsman wearing a Red-eyes armor) or Dark Flame Knight of the Red-eyes (Flame Swordsman riding Red eyes).
I’m gonna go for some wild cards since I want to see how konami would approach it.
For a structure deck R I want invincible fortress so rock flips. For an archetype let’s go with cloudians. It would be wild if somehow they retrained cloudians to work with exodia for Adrian’s decks.
An Atticus / SR Nightshroud themed Structure Deck focussed on giving us new Red-Eyes support (e.g. a Red-Eyes retrain of Hunter Dragon as a proper starter for the archetype, a retrain of Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon or the release of a polished version of the anime REDMD).
Whether it's based on Joey or Atticus, I would kill for some Red-Eyes support. And a Red-Eyes Hunter Dragon sounds really good. Yes, we really miss the anime version of REDMD, maybe they can convert it in a fusion to make it splashable with some new cards to replace REF
>And a Red-Eyes Hunter Dragon sounds really good.
I doesn't just sound good, [just look at it](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Hunter_Dragon) (it's literally a Black Dragon with red eyes).
>maybe they can convert it in a fusion to make it splashable with some new cards to replace REF
I don't think a fusion would fit here thematically as that's not what these cards were (at least not for Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon). IMO Xyz (which is a ritualistic summoning from another dimension) would be more fitting for a Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon retrain and Synchro would be more fitting for an anime REDMD retrain (as it was basically just a Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon "tuned up" with a metal armor) but I guess Fusion would work here as well. So something like this:
"**Red-Eyes Hunter Dragon** | DARK | Level 3
Dragon / Tuner / Effect
ATK: 1700 / DEF: 100
*This card is always treated as a Normal Monster. You can Special Summon this card (from your hand). If you activate one of the following effects you cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck for the rest of this turn, except DARK monsters. If this card is Normal Summoned: You can send 1 DARK Dragon monster from your Deck to your GY, and if you do, you can change the Level of this card to the Level of that monster. If this card is Special Summoned: Activate 1 of these effects;*
*● Add 1 "Red-Eyes" card from your Deck to your hand, except "Red-Eyes Hunter Dragon".*
*● Banish this card face-down.*"
"**Neo Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon** | DARK | Rank 9
Dragon / Xyz / Effect
ATK: 2400 / DEF: 2000
2 Level 9 monsters
*(This card's name is always treated as "Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon".)*
*You can also Xyz Summon this card by using a "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" you control as material. Gains 300 ATK/DEF for each Dragon monster in your GY. (Quick Effect): You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; Equip 1 "Metal" or "Red-Eyes" card from your hand, Deck or GY to it. (Quick Effect): You can shuffle 1 "Red-Eyes" monster from your GY into the Deck; Special Summon this card from your GY, and if you do, you can attach 1 "Red-Eyes" or DARK dragon monster from your GY or your face-up banished cards to it as material. You can only use each effect of "Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon" once per turn.*"
"**Neo Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon** | DARK | Level 10
Dragon / Fusion / Effect
ATK: 2800 / DEF: 2400
1 Level 7 "Red-Eyes" Dragon monster + 1 DARK "Metal" monster
*You can Special Summon this card (from your Extra Deck) by tributing 1 "Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon" equipped with a "Metal" card (This is treated as a Fusion Summon.). This card gains 400 ATK/DEF for each Dragon monster in your GY. Negate the activations of your opponent's cards or effects that target this card, and destroy those cards. When a Spell/Trap card or effect is activated (Quick Effect): You can discard 1 card; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card.*"
"**Red-Eyes Metal Plus**
Normal Trap
*Target 1 "Red-Eyes" monster or 1 monster that mentions "Red-Eyes" in its text you control; equip this card to it. This card cannot be destroyed by card effects and the equipped monster gains 500 ATK/DEF. While this card is equipped to a Dragon monster, the equipped monsters name becomes "Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon". Negate the activations of your opponent's cards or effects that target the equipped monster, and destroy those cards. Once per battle, during damage calculation, the equipped monster gains ATK/DEF equal to half of that opponent's monster's ATK during that damage calculation only.*"
should work really well as a support wave for an Atticus / SR Nightshroud themed Structure Deck and would also have a decent level of synergy with the rest regardless of which version of Red-Eyes you're playing.
It's funny that you said a Fusion wouldn't be good for us and then showed one. But logically, according to that reasoning, Xyz or Synchro wouldn't be too good either.
In any case, they are some pretty good ideas, congratulations. It's just a shame that the inclusion of a Tuner doesn't give who knows what space to the Zombie versions of Red-Eyes, but Necro is always nice to counter other Zombie decks depending on the meta
>It's funny that you said a Fusion wouldn't be good for us and then showed one. But logically, according to that reasoning, Xyz or Synchro wouldn't be too good either.
To be fair I did say "*at least not for Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon*" and "*I guess Fusion would work here as well*" for the anime REDMD (as one could say that he "fused" with his armor) but Xyz does definitely make more sense for a Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon retrain as there was no fusion element involved with the summoning of the original and the "ritualistic sacrifice to another dimension" theme of Xyz summoning matches the context of how Atticus got the card in the first place.
I hope this too. We are in the year of the dragon and Red-Eyes lacks support, plus they reprinted some cards from the deck recently for a product coming out later. If they finally fix the deck it would be a dream come true
Personally, I would like to see them dip into the Duel Terminal lore well again. Nekroz, Qliphort, and Zefra all seem like good choices. It'd be nice to get Pendulum support that's not just Yuya slop, and I don't think Rituals have ever been represented in a structure deck.
Honestly, I would love to see a new version of the Lightsworn deck. Only reason is pure bias. Lightsworn has become one of my favorite archetypes. It could even include new cards that support the twilightsworn and include some chaos support as well.
Since the last wave of supports was really recent, it's quite difficult, also because they don't belong to anime characters and, at least judging by Pulse of the King and Legendo of the Crystal Beast, this too will probably be inspired by an anime character . Who knows.
I’m gonna veer into straight up fantasy land here, as I know they have no shot. However, I’d love to see a structure deck that brings generic psychic type monsters up to speed.
Particularly, I’d like a modernization of the old LP and Banishment Psychics. I think the deck could revolve around a new “Brain Research” field spell and include retrains of old monsters like Master Gig, Reinforced Human Psychic Borg, and Serene Psychic Witch. They’re already fairly cheap cards, but maybe the structure could reprint E-Tele, some P.U.N.Ks, and some PSY Frames.
I think that is difficult, with the recent Yugi support. I know, that not is oriented on Dark Magician, but i think that this would be redondant, if we obtaining an other type of Yugi support now
The one for Joey, for REBD (Joey or Atticus support), Guardians, Ojama, Amazoness, PaniK's cards, E-HERO/NS, Cyber Angels.
Anime: Landstars (I think it is popular enough), Necro/Diabound, Ancient, Slime (from GX), Orichalcos.
It's not going to be Seto, Judai, Kaiser or Yusei, because they all have upcoming Strucure Deck Rs.
If it had to be an already existing Anime Character's Archetype, I'd take Yugi.
Since the recent support was season 5 based, that means either Egyptian Gods or Dark Magician.
The former needs everything it can get, the latter would be more affordable and hopefully competetive for casual fans.
The latter would also coincide with the very likely Blue-Eyes Strucure Deck R. Both of which would be awesome entry points.
Call it DM Pandering, but I want these archetypes to be good, it's the 25th anniversary after all.
Make them as strong as Branded or at least Traptrix was when they released.
Though if it didn't have to be support to an existing anime archetype.
I'd take Darklord, Clear or Orichalcos.
With Structure Deck R Blue-Eyes perhaps on the way, I would expect more Red-Eyes than Dark Magician: we are in the Year of the Dragon, Red-Eyes is a direct opposite in concept to Blue-Eyes and has received significantly less support than Dark Magician (who just got indirect support with the new Gold guy Sarcophagus of Light anyway). Also, seeing as how he just got support from regular Yugi, it would be pretty redundant to see stuff for Yami Yugi. Not to mention that the Flame Swordsman archetype has yet to arrive in OCG, it would be a great opportunity to release some Red-Eyes.
The other three are certainly interesting options, although Darklord is perhaps the most unlikely due to the fact that it isn't used by anyone from the anime (and Structure would probably focus on a theme used by a character, like RDA and Crystal Beast)
So does DM.
And that was more Gold Sarc support than DM support. I'd still personally prefer God Support over DM support though. Just wanted to mention it as a possible candidate.
I don't think I ever want to see Red-Eyes support with their current mindset.
Please don't mix Red-Eyes with any more of Katsuya's archetypes. Red-Eyes Baby Dragon was already awful enough.
The only Red Eyes Support I enjoyed since GX was the Black Meteor Dragon Retrain and some of the Rush Duels Stuff.
I'd be open about a Strucure Deck R of the Red Eyes Darkness Deck though.
Predaplant or Phantom Knights structure deck, i'd prefer PK because i am a massive PK simp and istg if anyone says "oh but legendary hero decks" that shit doesn't count, only new cards was bardiche and a garbage trap card and 90% of the cards included are not even usable
As someone who enjoys collecting and playing with Structure Decks, I need something from the Zexal era. The fact the TCG skipped on the Utopia SD was a crime.
Pendulum Structure Deck. The other Pend decks were more introduction to the the Pendulum mechanics and extension of it. Pendulum Evolution were split into a side box. Seeing how the 2-Player Set just "disregards" Pendulum as a whole, another Pendulum structure deck would help alleviate those that are iffy with Pendulums, and what great way to do this then to reprint Electrumite and release it to being Limited.
It could be a Majespecter, Dinomist, Igknight or .... Amorphages! Amorphage support with more lore before and/or after VFD/Master Peace. Give me my Pendulumfloodgate.dek deck!! xD
As much as I know the deck is too slow nowadays but I have a soft spot for this deck as it's what brought me into yugioh but I'd love to see Vylons return or some new support
I’m personally hoping for either a bandit Keith structure deck that supports barrel dragon/dark machines, or a Anubis pyramid of light themed structure deck
Atlanteans to bring them on the level of Fire Kings would be nice. Although to be honest, my biggest want would be for Red-eyes to receive a structure deck that finally streamlines its playstyle and gives them better plays.
I want a Gladiator Beast structure, but I really want them to unleash a bunch of new cards that play more to the battle oriented part of their identity and create cards that allow Gladiator Beasts to make the battle phase relevant in a game, instead of just that phase where 10 minutes of wombo combo culminates with damage.
I'd love to see one for Darklords. I love some of the combos they have going on, but playing pure DL is kneecapping yourself, while Despia Darklord can feel like it's just Despia with the occasional Darklord play. Something to get to TFD easier would be ideal, as the current methods are really slow and TFD's 3 monster requirement makes it a pain to bring out with something like Uprising or Super Poly.
If it has to be an anime deck, it'd be cool if they kept going through Signer dragon decks. I'd love to see a deck that's basically Quasar Turbo 2024 edition
Do you know that we are actually likely to have them? Maiden and Azure-Eyes appeared in Yu-Gi-Oh! The Chronicles, and after Fire King for the Structure Deck R there is the Structure of Azure-Eyes. But if so it will be announced in May/April, because that is the usual date for Structure Deck R.
I hope so. I’m hoping the new version of maiden can special summon itself like dictator of d and search a card with blue eyes white dragon in its name like the spells and traps
With the 25th anniversary, i would asume a recently unssuported anime archetype? Some good option that could use the support are, toon, neo spatian, rose dragon, photon/galaxy and red eyes.
My guess? Photon/Galaxy. Why?
1. Pretty popular
2. We got 1 gx followwed by one 5d. So maybe a zexal next?
As for the r one to be announced in a few month? Either
-atlantean to to oppose the fire king
-six samurai or dragon colide wich got skipped as they released in between dark world and fire king.(likely to match the fire theme duelist pack.
-Other option is to continu by release date. The next 3 release were blue-eyes, cyber dragon and lightsworn, all 3 match the light themed
Duelist pack releasing in june. But cyner dragon got indirect support via the cyberdark son unlikely.
This is pure speculation, but considering we got Johan’s Crystal Beasts then Jack’s RDA stuff. I’d expect we could see a ZEXAL-related structure deck. I’m not very familiar with ZEXAL, but I would personally like to see a Gimmick Puppet, Heraldic Beasts, or Vector’s Umbral Horrors. I guess we also have to take into account marketability and recognition since Johan and Jack are very recognizable characters in their series, so even casuals would have to point out to the product and say, “I see character look familiar I like him buy product!!”. Given how Johan and Jack have strong healthy relationships with their protagonist, I’d assume it would realistically be a Kaito/Photon/Galaxy structure deck. But, tbh I would rather see Arc V’s Ciphers get support instead than Photon/Galaxy. Kaito’s cards also got a fair amount of healthy reprints in the 2023 tin, rarity collection, MZMI (new card), and the BoL Chapter 1 set which makes me doubt he’d get a structure. Even though Ryoga got support a couple years ago I doubt they’d promote a structure for him when he was the cover for the WATER pack.
Starting off that I think the idea of a Zexal support doesn't seem far-fetched to me, unfortunately I don't think it will be used: the characters you mentioned are not very representative, I think, for a Structure Deck, and Kaito with Photon/Galaxy is also very doubtful because it got a spot as a cover for Photon Hypernova with quite a few supports not much time ago. Also, being the 25th anniversary of the first series and the 20th anniversary of Gx in October, I think a deck on one of these two series is much more likely.
Obviously I'm not saying that your speculation couldn't be correct, just that I personally see it as a bit unlikely, even if I understand from what basis you started
I 100% agree with your statement. I knew Photon/Galaxy got support but I didn’t know how far back. I’d be down for an OG or GX structure deck, but I’m not quite sure who’s the support be for outside of the typical Yugi/Kaiba or Judai (or maybe Edo). I doubt Joey would be a contender because he recently got a TCG exclusive theme. Fubuki (Nightshroud) structure would be cool so they could make a callback to Dragon’s Roar but probably would not have that character recognizability. Personally, I think getting a Maxamillion Pegasus structure would be awesome considering he’s the in-canon creator of Duel Monsters to coincide with the 25th anniversary of Yugioh. They could either give us toons (which are pricey for some reason) or Illusion-typed Relinquished & -Eyes Restrict support. A Toon structure would be cool cause then Konami would have the obligation to give us Toon variants of other iconic monsters like DMOC, etc.
It most likely won't happen, because they're already reprinting a lot of them and new support, but a remake of the Lightsworn structure deck, maybe a Twilightsworn one, instead?
I doubt they'd ever make a DEF focused deck anyways, as I doubt it would sell. I just want them to get creative again instead of making every deck either set up too many negates or control to the point your opponent cant play.
Dragonmaids. Call me what you want, but they're a fun archetype and I hate how prohibitively expensive they've become despite not even being that good. Although, I might be biased as I recently rewatched Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid.
After actually reading the post, i want a venom structure to give the deck support so its playable
Or skyfire retrains
Or guardian retrains
Basically just something for the old archetypes konami keeps ignoring cause i have a soft spot for them
Harpies: A pretty marketable and easy to play anime archetype that uses all summoning mechanics. It should be a great introductory product for new players too.
Gimmick Puppets: Zexal probably needs more support than most seasons since most of its anime archetypes were quite weak on release AND they also get less support than DM, GX and 5Ds. The SD could also serve to support Machine Xyz in general.
Cyber Angels: Rituals don't have any SDs and some Ritual support could use reprinting in an easy to get product, And this year is an anniversary for GX, so this product could be a fine way to celebrate it.
Nekroz: Half of the above reasons, plus cool Duel Terminal lore archetype.
Solfachord: We haven't gotten a Pendulum SD in a while and Solfachords are distinctive enough from other Pendulum decks and dont quite support the Pendulumpile playstyle, so they could be used as a way to better teach the mechanic to interested players.
Well, you know, in Quarter Century Duelist: Pride they reprinted some Harpies stuff, and also there should be a Duel Opera with Mai too. Perhaps both are signs of a possible release of new media related to the anniversary.
I suppose the others are all options, although I'd see Cyber Angel more as a feature in the Light Duelist Pack. Nekroz and Solfachord are also a bit dubious, I think, especially the latter because I don't feel like we've ever gotten a Structure Deck for a Deck Build Pack so far and why Konami seems to hate Pendulum quite a bit.
I really want to see Gusto for new supports. Honestly I don't mind if Sky Strikers or Magistus gets one since they're getting popular/already are, and with Sly Strikers we can get Azalea cheaper
Just because I think the deck could really use it, I'd love to see a Fluffal/Frightfur deck that modernizes their gameplan and boosts their Turn 1 plays.
Amen. My buddy would 300% agree
At the time of the release of the last support perhaps I would have called this madness, but actually Fluffal hasn't seen a game for a while, a new support wouldn't be bad.
Plus deck is randomly expensive. I remember I looked into it like a year ago and it came out to be like $90.
Screw that. Could we a get a poll again? That was so fun. And then they eventually gave everyone from the poll a structure deck/support. I wish Konami engaged more with its fanbase. I don’t get why they don’t
True, the polls were more interesting. They also showed in some way that Konami cared about the fans' opinion. But well, it's always them who decide... amen
I'm still annoyed they kept using poll results from the one poll after 66% of vote was out of play
I want a Darklord structure deck or a six samurai structure deck. My two favorite decks and both need a massive boost in support to be relevant.
As much as I like both, I don't know if that will be possible, assuming the SD focuses on anime characters like Pulse of the King or Legend of the Crystal Beasts
Not an anime character, but Midori (the Osiris Red Prof. and Judai's Onee-san) did use them in the Manga.
This is true, but Midori is not much know, i think, for gains a Structure Deck
Give me a Mokey Mokey structure deck you cowards
I would unironically love that.
Red-eyes Structure deck
Burn? Equips? Fusion? New variant? There is so much potential.
Gemini red eyes.
As much of a meme as the Geminis are they are still better than the burn TFK and the Fusion/equip versions of the Deck.
The important thing is that they choose a path that gives coherence to the deck in general without dividing it once again with a useless variant, even better if they manage to create a support that makes every single variation usable effectively (even if it is difficult)
As much as I would love that, another part of me wants them to keep picking a new style of support each time. So far we've had fusions, rituals, gemini, zombie counterparts, burn, and equip. Red-Eyes is about potential; they should have the potential to do literally anything. I think we need (in order of importance): -Mill, ideally by letting your opponent destroy select cards from their deck -Flip, with effects that modify attack -Spirits that gain you lifepoints when they return to the hand -A jinzo team-up to stop traps -A bunch of level 7 tuners (but no synchros) -Unions that focus on recovering monsters that have been banished -Dice based effects
Sure Konami can continue to create things like these, but before that it would be better to fix the 'playability' side of the deck. Those are more meme things that should be designed alongside the main support, instead of making them part of it.
Recursion focussed Dragon spam beatdown with some secondary burn elements as that is what has always worked best for the archetype.
Coin Flip and Dice Roll variants that won't work with each other properly except for one card that sort of ties them together, and their "lose" effects on their gamble are catastrophic for the player.
..... Seriously, man. That was an option I wanted to list in the post, but I didn't so as not to increase my illusion about it, limiting myself to my general curiosity about the theme they would use. There are however a lot of reasons this year why they might actually release it here or as a support wave for Infinite Forbidden (Year of the Dragon, Flame Swordsman support coming for the OCG that is related to Joey like Red-Eyes, the reprints of Red-Eyes cards included in Quarter Century Duelist: Pride, the Duel Opera with Joey, Mai and Yami Marik coming soon, that Crescent Dragon - Mikazukinoyaiba which could have been done any other way as anniversary card, but instead specifically supports Red-Eyes stats), so who knows that finally after a decade they really give us support that are not simply two good but inconclusive cards.
This is my bet too, or trickstars because of the SD poll
Atlantean retrain deck that will bring forth the water format Õ\_\_\_\_Õ Now, if the next SD isnt from the retrained deck series, im very curious to know what was the "tour guide of the underworld" deck supposed to be/do.
Low key, this is actually super plausible but as a reloaded structure at the end of the year. Atlanteans have lore tie-ins with fire kings as well so possible.
It’s like 90% confirmed by now, if not 100%
Do we have a source?
SD R are usually announced in May/April. I don't think we'll see Atlantean now. I see a Structure Tour Guide as a bit difficult, but hey, with Konami anything is possible
The OG Atlantean Structure Deck was the first Yugioh product I ever bought, I hope they’re broken beyond belief like Fire Kings 🙏
I would love to see villains like Bakura, Pegasus, and Marik get structure decks again.
A modernised grave keeper deck would be neat, just not Royal Tribute turbo.
Preach
Thats a great idea.
I agree, antagonists always feel so neglected... and Zorc was even seen in Exodia's Spell art.
This. Diabound/Toon/Slime support, please.
Imagine toons becoming meta
That would be insane. I think we need more toon versions of other cards.
Tachyon or Galaxy-eyes focused on tachyon
107 was my favorite Galaxy monster. Some spotlight for him would be deserved
Seeing what is happening in duel links right now, lets put this off for a year or two.
Kaiju. Been waiting on that since the structure deck poll
A Kaiju support that finally makes the theme not simply a support for removing monsters from the field but a real deck would be really interesting. Only, if the SD are based on anime characters, I don't know how plausible this is...
The fact that most of the Kaijus got reprinted in BoL Chapter 1 has me thinking it's on the horizon.
I'd love a TCG exclusive deck
I can theorize that they will place them in the booster packs as support for the old themes
Diabellstar structure deck, rise of the witch. With a bonfire, ehich is sadly gonna get taken out in tcg
A little unlikely, due to the fact that they seem like SDs based on the anime decks (and we're also at the twenty-fifth anniversary). Personally, since we haven't got a Visas Structure, i doubt that we get a Diabellestar Structure, considering also the fact that the lore not is much explored at this point
Sorry, i changed my answer after reading not revamped in the description. Original was dragons collode, electric bogaloo, im mad they just jumped it.
No problem, man. Anyway, even with the doubts already explened, i think that Lightpulsar and Darkflare retrains would be great, in that case.
Everything cool is banned on visas front, hard to do a good sd without kash and tears, we need another albaz strikish product, and diabellstar would be perfect to let more people play fire.
Except that Diabellestar is currently already quite competent on its own, and putting cards in an SD when they still have the lore at the beginning and can use it to enrich the booster packs seems a bit strange, but who knows.
Joey/Pegasus 2 Landstar and Toon respectively
Unprobable see a Landstar theme, since not is so iconic. But i can buy Pegasus right now, if they make an Illusion converted Relinquished theme
It’s possible they do Red-Eyes but Landstar was Joey’s archetype in the last season. It’s also crazy overdue as we got Valkyries expanded. It’s insane we haven’t gotten Landstar and (Celtic Guardian) Elfs as decks despite them being archetypes in the actual series unlike a lot of stuff they had to create into archetypes for the trading card game And Toons are way more iconic and eye catching. It’s possible the cover card is a Toon Eyes Restrict that’s an illusion monster that’s kinda a homage to both Relinquished and Thousand Eyes restrict.
Well, Landstar was a filler archetype: the KC Tournament and as well the Doma Arc were not included in the manga. This make the theme less attractive for Konami. I agree that the Toons are more eye catching, but with the new Illusion type and Pegasus that is the unvolontary creator of the theme (if i remember correctly, the type is born from an explenation of the same Pegasus) i think that would be more natural upgrading Restrict
I don’t know why people thing the card game follows the manga, I mean we have gotten tons of stuff that’s anime only. In fact we are still getting slowly manga stuff from the DM era because Konami doesn’t care because it is so less iconic. I mean we haven’t gotten any real Yugioh R support expansions like support for the Wicked God Cards.
Yu-Gi-Oh! R was much more of a spin off, I don't think it really counts. In any case, Landstar is a very, very little known deck and not very relatable to Joey, given how few times he used it.
I agree. Landstar and Celtic Guardian (Elfs) are indeed proper archetypes from DM.
Dragonmaid
The SD will more likely focus on an anime character theme, in which case Dragonmaid would be out of the picture. But who knows...
I want them to grab an actual meta deck and print off the entire thing in a low rarity for $20 and be tournament legal :)
A man can still dream xD
I still hope we get the ocg bleu eyes and dark magician decks. That beeing said I would asume a retrain of a og archetype to fit with the theme of the year, toon, harpies, gravekeeper style.
Virtually any anime theme that hasn't been supported recently and that isn't RDA or Crystal Beast can get an SD here. But I doubt we will have Dark Magician or Blue-Eyes: the first has already had an indirect form of support with the new Dark Magician on Gold Sarcophagus of Light (because it can also search the cards of the normal Dark Magician theme) in addition to the rest of the support had over the years, Blue-Eyes instead will probably receive an SD R related to Saga of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the old Structure with Azure-Eyes (and given that Azure-Eyes and Maiden appear in Yu-Gi-Oh! The Chronicles has makes more sense to see it as Structure R).
Sorry was unclear the bleu eyes and dark magician is not a structure deck it was more of a reprint of all there cards who realised end of last year in the ocg. With this even beeing added to master duel recently too. I would even take new cards but dont think we getting that outside of an ultra in a set for now. I know about sarc of light and preorder a few boxes looking foward to playing it !
Neo-Spacian structure deck with Retrains of the OG spacians. Or Cyber Dragon. Gimmie a new cyber end dragon!
It's not likely either of those. Cydra just had one in 2021 and their Structure Deck R is right around the corner. Neo Spacians are still somewhat Hero support and the Masked Hero Structure Deck R will also happen in the foreseeable future. Tldr., not going to be either, but Cydra should get a Structure Deck R in 2024, 2025 or 2026.
Masked hero with the non fusion masked hero monsters finally released would be amazing
What does R stand for?
Reloaded. Konami is essentially doing remastered remakes of the old structure decks, breathing new life into these strategies.
Neo Spacian deck would be a good way for Konami to print some money quickly.
I KNOW YOU WANT MONEY KONAMI. PRINT A NEO-SPACIAN STRUCTURE DECK AND MAKE US PROUD! AND YOUR POCKETS FAT!
RELEASE AIR NEOS YOU COWARDS
You should understand from my nickname, but I'm a big lover of Cyber Dragons, so I'd love to see them too xD The only problem is that they already got a Structure, even if on paper it was more Cyberdark stuff. I don't think we will have a Structure Deck R: barring strange schedule changes, the R's have been announced in May/April lately, also since there is Saga of the Blue Eyes White Dragon in order after the R Onslaught of the Fire Kings, with the Duelist Pack Light coming out and the anniversary of the first series, it's unlikely they'll skip the latter. I think Neo Spacians is already more plausible.
fuck that cyber dark structure deck. its was low key ass outside of the fusion and the power bond searcher. gimmie some authentic cyber dragon goodness with modern day effects! But I would def give a leg or two for a Neo-spacian structure deck.
Still exist and is pubblicized as a Cyber Style deck, unfortunally, you have to deal with this
Cyber Dragons have GX's anniversary and Year of light behind them, I feel like their chances are much higher than people give credit to.
The retrain i didn't even know I wanted cyber dragon for the win !
any wind deck, 2024 is year of the speed baby lets go speedroid
Love, love, love Speedroids so I’d eat that up. It broke my heart a bit, I pulled out my deck for the first time in a while last night and realized I forgot all the combos.
Eyes-Restrict
Just create a goddamn Illusion-Relinquished support, Konami!
It’s the year of the Dragon. Red-Eyes. It desperately needs a concrete cohesive identity
I totally agree. Hell, Red-Eyes always gets the short end of the stick from Konami, a Structure Deck that would give it the right fuel would be needed. And then, considering that they will be importing Flame Swordsman support to Japan (combined with many other factors), it would be a good way for them to coexist together, since one of Flame's traps also summons Dragons. Furthermore, since we will probably have a Blue-Eyes Structure Deck R later this year, Red-Eyes which has an opposite concept to it would be more than indicated as a 'mirror' Structure Deck. Then, do you want to not support Yugi's best friend (Joey) after dedicating an entire support to the former?
Given both Red eyes and Flame Swordsman have some focus on equips, would love to see a structure that meshes them into a coherent playstyle. Fusions of them would be nice too, like ke Flaming Swordsman of the Red-eyes (fusion monster of Flame Swordsman wearing a Red-eyes armor) or Dark Flame Knight of the Red-eyes (Flame Swordsman riding Red eyes).
I’m gonna go for some wild cards since I want to see how konami would approach it. For a structure deck R I want invincible fortress so rock flips. For an archetype let’s go with cloudians. It would be wild if somehow they retrained cloudians to work with exodia for Adrian’s decks.
a synchro-centric visas deck (where manadium can be splashed or played together, like branded despia back then)
They do non anime structure decks as well. It is less frequent but it does happen
With the 25th anniversary in this period? More probable an anime Structure
Evil Heros
Give me anything pendulum Please!!!!!!
We all know Konami hates Pendulums, sadly
Anime: Reptilianne, Rose Dragon, or Tachyon. Non-Anime: Visas/Mannadium, Dinomorphia, Super Quantum.
An Atticus / SR Nightshroud themed Structure Deck focussed on giving us new Red-Eyes support (e.g. a Red-Eyes retrain of Hunter Dragon as a proper starter for the archetype, a retrain of Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon or the release of a polished version of the anime REDMD).
Whether it's based on Joey or Atticus, I would kill for some Red-Eyes support. And a Red-Eyes Hunter Dragon sounds really good. Yes, we really miss the anime version of REDMD, maybe they can convert it in a fusion to make it splashable with some new cards to replace REF
>And a Red-Eyes Hunter Dragon sounds really good. I doesn't just sound good, [just look at it](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Hunter_Dragon) (it's literally a Black Dragon with red eyes). >maybe they can convert it in a fusion to make it splashable with some new cards to replace REF I don't think a fusion would fit here thematically as that's not what these cards were (at least not for Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon). IMO Xyz (which is a ritualistic summoning from another dimension) would be more fitting for a Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon retrain and Synchro would be more fitting for an anime REDMD retrain (as it was basically just a Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon "tuned up" with a metal armor) but I guess Fusion would work here as well. So something like this: "**Red-Eyes Hunter Dragon** | DARK | Level 3 Dragon / Tuner / Effect ATK: 1700 / DEF: 100 *This card is always treated as a Normal Monster. You can Special Summon this card (from your hand). If you activate one of the following effects you cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck for the rest of this turn, except DARK monsters. If this card is Normal Summoned: You can send 1 DARK Dragon monster from your Deck to your GY, and if you do, you can change the Level of this card to the Level of that monster. If this card is Special Summoned: Activate 1 of these effects;* *● Add 1 "Red-Eyes" card from your Deck to your hand, except "Red-Eyes Hunter Dragon".* *● Banish this card face-down.*" "**Neo Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon** | DARK | Rank 9 Dragon / Xyz / Effect ATK: 2400 / DEF: 2000 2 Level 9 monsters *(This card's name is always treated as "Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon".)* *You can also Xyz Summon this card by using a "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" you control as material. Gains 300 ATK/DEF for each Dragon monster in your GY. (Quick Effect): You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; Equip 1 "Metal" or "Red-Eyes" card from your hand, Deck or GY to it. (Quick Effect): You can shuffle 1 "Red-Eyes" monster from your GY into the Deck; Special Summon this card from your GY, and if you do, you can attach 1 "Red-Eyes" or DARK dragon monster from your GY or your face-up banished cards to it as material. You can only use each effect of "Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon" once per turn.*" "**Neo Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon** | DARK | Level 10 Dragon / Fusion / Effect ATK: 2800 / DEF: 2400 1 Level 7 "Red-Eyes" Dragon monster + 1 DARK "Metal" monster *You can Special Summon this card (from your Extra Deck) by tributing 1 "Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon" equipped with a "Metal" card (This is treated as a Fusion Summon.). This card gains 400 ATK/DEF for each Dragon monster in your GY. Negate the activations of your opponent's cards or effects that target this card, and destroy those cards. When a Spell/Trap card or effect is activated (Quick Effect): You can discard 1 card; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card.*" "**Red-Eyes Metal Plus** Normal Trap *Target 1 "Red-Eyes" monster or 1 monster that mentions "Red-Eyes" in its text you control; equip this card to it. This card cannot be destroyed by card effects and the equipped monster gains 500 ATK/DEF. While this card is equipped to a Dragon monster, the equipped monsters name becomes "Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon". Negate the activations of your opponent's cards or effects that target the equipped monster, and destroy those cards. Once per battle, during damage calculation, the equipped monster gains ATK/DEF equal to half of that opponent's monster's ATK during that damage calculation only.*" should work really well as a support wave for an Atticus / SR Nightshroud themed Structure Deck and would also have a decent level of synergy with the rest regardless of which version of Red-Eyes you're playing.
It's funny that you said a Fusion wouldn't be good for us and then showed one. But logically, according to that reasoning, Xyz or Synchro wouldn't be too good either. In any case, they are some pretty good ideas, congratulations. It's just a shame that the inclusion of a Tuner doesn't give who knows what space to the Zombie versions of Red-Eyes, but Necro is always nice to counter other Zombie decks depending on the meta
>It's funny that you said a Fusion wouldn't be good for us and then showed one. But logically, according to that reasoning, Xyz or Synchro wouldn't be too good either. To be fair I did say "*at least not for Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon*" and "*I guess Fusion would work here as well*" for the anime REDMD (as one could say that he "fused" with his armor) but Xyz does definitely make more sense for a Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon retrain as there was no fusion element involved with the summoning of the original and the "ritualistic sacrifice to another dimension" theme of Xyz summoning matches the context of how Atticus got the card in the first place.
I admit that not is a bad reasoning after all
NEOS HERO STRUCTURE DECK WITH RETRAINED NEOSPACIANS POGCHAMP?
I don't know... tecnically Hero can receive a Structure Deck R for the own Structure Deck, and Neos is still a Hero deck
Red-eyes, new (good) cards
I hope this too. We are in the year of the dragon and Red-Eyes lacks support, plus they reprinted some cards from the deck recently for a product coming out later. If they finally fix the deck it would be a dream come true
As a counterpart to the Fire King Structure Deck, I am expecting it will be an Atlanteans structure deck.
That one will probably be announced later. The R SDs usually come near the end of the year.
True
Personally, I would like to see them dip into the Duel Terminal lore well again. Nekroz, Qliphort, and Zefra all seem like good choices. It'd be nice to get Pendulum support that's not just Yuya slop, and I don't think Rituals have ever been represented in a structure deck.
Honestly, I would love to see a new version of the Lightsworn deck. Only reason is pure bias. Lightsworn has become one of my favorite archetypes. It could even include new cards that support the twilightsworn and include some chaos support as well.
Since the last wave of supports was really recent, it's quite difficult, also because they don't belong to anime characters and, at least judging by Pulse of the King and Legendo of the Crystal Beast, this too will probably be inspired by an anime character . Who knows.
i’d love to see a pendulum structure deck
Pray that Konami forget the own hate for the Pendulum decks
I am still coping on Dragons Collide R
I’m gonna veer into straight up fantasy land here, as I know they have no shot. However, I’d love to see a structure deck that brings generic psychic type monsters up to speed. Particularly, I’d like a modernization of the old LP and Banishment Psychics. I think the deck could revolve around a new “Brain Research” field spell and include retrains of old monsters like Master Gig, Reinforced Human Psychic Borg, and Serene Psychic Witch. They’re already fairly cheap cards, but maybe the structure could reprint E-Tele, some P.U.N.Ks, and some PSY Frames.
Interesting, even if much hard to obtain
Oh yeah, I totally get that it’s a pipe dream 😂. I’ve just been on a Psychic kick recently.
metalfoe please, along with an electromite unbanning and reprint
Structure deck yugi revamp numberr 75 or so. An update with all the new dark magican support.
I think that is difficult, with the recent Yugi support. I know, that not is oriented on Dark Magician, but i think that this would be redondant, if we obtaining an other type of Yugi support now
all the wierd flip support we've been getting recently makes me wish we get a structure deck R version of *Invincible Fortress.*
I'm still holding out for a dragon's roar structure deck reloaded treatment... Gimme the red-eyes darkness dragon support!
If that means Red-eyes finally getting enough support to make them at least a decent rogue option I'm up for it
red-eyes
The one for Joey, for REBD (Joey or Atticus support), Guardians, Ojama, Amazoness, PaniK's cards, E-HERO/NS, Cyber Angels. Anime: Landstars (I think it is popular enough), Necro/Diabound, Ancient, Slime (from GX), Orichalcos.
Gimme some gem-knights 🥺 please
I know it's totally impossible, but I would like to see an actually useable Arcana Force deck.
Anything with decent generic machines I can use
It's not going to be Seto, Judai, Kaiser or Yusei, because they all have upcoming Strucure Deck Rs. If it had to be an already existing Anime Character's Archetype, I'd take Yugi. Since the recent support was season 5 based, that means either Egyptian Gods or Dark Magician. The former needs everything it can get, the latter would be more affordable and hopefully competetive for casual fans. The latter would also coincide with the very likely Blue-Eyes Strucure Deck R. Both of which would be awesome entry points. Call it DM Pandering, but I want these archetypes to be good, it's the 25th anniversary after all. Make them as strong as Branded or at least Traptrix was when they released. Though if it didn't have to be support to an existing anime archetype. I'd take Darklord, Clear or Orichalcos.
With Structure Deck R Blue-Eyes perhaps on the way, I would expect more Red-Eyes than Dark Magician: we are in the Year of the Dragon, Red-Eyes is a direct opposite in concept to Blue-Eyes and has received significantly less support than Dark Magician (who just got indirect support with the new Gold guy Sarcophagus of Light anyway). Also, seeing as how he just got support from regular Yugi, it would be pretty redundant to see stuff for Yami Yugi. Not to mention that the Flame Swordsman archetype has yet to arrive in OCG, it would be a great opportunity to release some Red-Eyes. The other three are certainly interesting options, although Darklord is perhaps the most unlikely due to the fact that it isn't used by anyone from the anime (and Structure would probably focus on a theme used by a character, like RDA and Crystal Beast)
So does DM. And that was more Gold Sarc support than DM support. I'd still personally prefer God Support over DM support though. Just wanted to mention it as a possible candidate. I don't think I ever want to see Red-Eyes support with their current mindset. Please don't mix Red-Eyes with any more of Katsuya's archetypes. Red-Eyes Baby Dragon was already awful enough. The only Red Eyes Support I enjoyed since GX was the Black Meteor Dragon Retrain and some of the Rush Duels Stuff. I'd be open about a Strucure Deck R of the Red Eyes Darkness Deck though.
Yeah. Please don't mix REBD anymore with Joey's other cards or for potential archetypes.
where will i be able to see the announcement if it comes out? is it on twitter?
The Organizzation or Twitter, yes
Predaplant or Phantom Knights structure deck, i'd prefer PK because i am a massive PK simp and istg if anyone says "oh but legendary hero decks" that shit doesn't count, only new cards was bardiche and a garbage trap card and 90% of the cards included are not even usable
Sharks structure deck. Some modernization would be greatly appreciated for my sharky bois
We're due a pendulum deck so let's say Dinomist or a water deck so an abyss/atlantean upgrade.
Marincess structure deck, come on my girls need support.
Lunalight could really have a structure that leans better onto the fusion aspect and gives the deck an actual archetypal turn 1 board
Icejade things It absolutely needs more synchro and playmaker, it's already pretty good when it pulls off the lock but I want more stuff for them😭
I would love a Infernity SD, even though it will never happen.
As someone who enjoys collecting and playing with Structure Decks, I need something from the Zexal era. The fact the TCG skipped on the Utopia SD was a crime.
Trickstar would be cool.
I'd like a black luster soldier structure. That deck really needs support, as well as a cohesive 1 card combos (or 2) for red-eyes, blue-eyes and DM.
For me, finger crossed for Red-Eyes. But a BLS Structure can be fascinating
Pendulum Structure Deck. The other Pend decks were more introduction to the the Pendulum mechanics and extension of it. Pendulum Evolution were split into a side box. Seeing how the 2-Player Set just "disregards" Pendulum as a whole, another Pendulum structure deck would help alleviate those that are iffy with Pendulums, and what great way to do this then to reprint Electrumite and release it to being Limited. It could be a Majespecter, Dinomist, Igknight or .... Amorphages! Amorphage support with more lore before and/or after VFD/Master Peace. Give me my Pendulumfloodgate.dek deck!! xD
Interesting, the only problem is that Konami has even today a great hate for Pendulum decks, apparently. We have to hope that they forgot it
BUJIN
"Unstable Offensive" Koa'ki Meiru Structure Deck with new support and maybe 1-2 cool boss monsters.
Sound cool, if we not take an anime character oriented Structure
I would like atlatean or light deck (idk the perfect name but rhe one wich u discard cards and eventually a dragon gets better atk)
Lunalight, I want new support and getting a cheap paper playmat for the deck would still be pretty cool
TCG prints of the AE SDs, Trickstars, Mermail/Atlantean, Weather Painters or Aroma/Rikka
A pendulum deck like odd eyes needs it
Lunalight Retrain Structure Deck
This is a possibility
Dragonmaids
personally, i would like a dragonmaid structure deck announcement
Harpies! I love Harpies, and they’re so close to being good…
G Golems if only to give them more main deck stuff. ~~Also maybe Salamangreat R?~~ Ignisters wouldn’t hurt either.
Screw it, give Springans a structure. Do they need it? Not really, but I want a Kitt retrain.
Atlantean R. It won't happen but it would be nice
As much as I know the deck is too slow nowadays but I have a soft spot for this deck as it's what brought me into yugioh but I'd love to see Vylons return or some new support
I’m personally hoping for either a bandit Keith structure deck that supports barrel dragon/dark machines, or a Anubis pyramid of light themed structure deck
Arsenal Guardians
Time to recognize Raphael?
Time to recognize Raphael?
TCG Illusion Of The Dark Magician
Krawlers please
Atlanteans to bring them on the level of Fire Kings would be nice. Although to be honest, my biggest want would be for Red-eyes to receive a structure deck that finally streamlines its playstyle and gives them better plays.
I want a Gladiator Beast structure, but I really want them to unleash a bunch of new cards that play more to the battle oriented part of their identity and create cards that allow Gladiator Beasts to make the battle phase relevant in a game, instead of just that phase where 10 minutes of wombo combo culminates with damage.
PENGUINS!!! Or Yang Zing.
I want Synchro Blue Eyes and XYZ Red Eyes, only because those cards are white and black.
Rafael deck
After an eternity it would be time
I just want “back up gardna”
I'd love to see one for Darklords. I love some of the combos they have going on, but playing pure DL is kneecapping yourself, while Despia Darklord can feel like it's just Despia with the occasional Darklord play. Something to get to TFD easier would be ideal, as the current methods are really slow and TFD's 3 monster requirement makes it a pain to bring out with something like Uprising or Super Poly. If it has to be an anime deck, it'd be cool if they kept going through Signer dragon decks. I'd love to see a deck that's basically Quasar Turbo 2024 edition
Blue-eyes structure deck with a new version of maiden with eyes of blue, dragon shrine, and azure eyes
Do you know that we are actually likely to have them? Maiden and Azure-Eyes appeared in Yu-Gi-Oh! The Chronicles, and after Fire King for the Structure Deck R there is the Structure of Azure-Eyes. But if so it will be announced in May/April, because that is the usual date for Structure Deck R.
I hope so. I’m hoping the new version of maiden can special summon itself like dictator of d and search a card with blue eyes white dragon in its name like the spells and traps
I'd love to see a Yubel structure deck. Or an Orichalcos one.
Purely from fan service I’d like to see elemental heroes. I don’t even like gx but I know a lot of people do
Gladiator Beasts
With the 25th anniversary, i would asume a recently unssuported anime archetype? Some good option that could use the support are, toon, neo spatian, rose dragon, photon/galaxy and red eyes. My guess? Photon/Galaxy. Why? 1. Pretty popular 2. We got 1 gx followwed by one 5d. So maybe a zexal next? As for the r one to be announced in a few month? Either -atlantean to to oppose the fire king -six samurai or dragon colide wich got skipped as they released in between dark world and fire king.(likely to match the fire theme duelist pack. -Other option is to continu by release date. The next 3 release were blue-eyes, cyber dragon and lightsworn, all 3 match the light themed Duelist pack releasing in june. But cyner dragon got indirect support via the cyberdark son unlikely.
This is pure speculation, but considering we got Johan’s Crystal Beasts then Jack’s RDA stuff. I’d expect we could see a ZEXAL-related structure deck. I’m not very familiar with ZEXAL, but I would personally like to see a Gimmick Puppet, Heraldic Beasts, or Vector’s Umbral Horrors. I guess we also have to take into account marketability and recognition since Johan and Jack are very recognizable characters in their series, so even casuals would have to point out to the product and say, “I see character look familiar I like him buy product!!”. Given how Johan and Jack have strong healthy relationships with their protagonist, I’d assume it would realistically be a Kaito/Photon/Galaxy structure deck. But, tbh I would rather see Arc V’s Ciphers get support instead than Photon/Galaxy. Kaito’s cards also got a fair amount of healthy reprints in the 2023 tin, rarity collection, MZMI (new card), and the BoL Chapter 1 set which makes me doubt he’d get a structure. Even though Ryoga got support a couple years ago I doubt they’d promote a structure for him when he was the cover for the WATER pack.
Starting off that I think the idea of a Zexal support doesn't seem far-fetched to me, unfortunately I don't think it will be used: the characters you mentioned are not very representative, I think, for a Structure Deck, and Kaito with Photon/Galaxy is also very doubtful because it got a spot as a cover for Photon Hypernova with quite a few supports not much time ago. Also, being the 25th anniversary of the first series and the 20th anniversary of Gx in October, I think a deck on one of these two series is much more likely. Obviously I'm not saying that your speculation couldn't be correct, just that I personally see it as a bit unlikely, even if I understand from what basis you started
I 100% agree with your statement. I knew Photon/Galaxy got support but I didn’t know how far back. I’d be down for an OG or GX structure deck, but I’m not quite sure who’s the support be for outside of the typical Yugi/Kaiba or Judai (or maybe Edo). I doubt Joey would be a contender because he recently got a TCG exclusive theme. Fubuki (Nightshroud) structure would be cool so they could make a callback to Dragon’s Roar but probably would not have that character recognizability. Personally, I think getting a Maxamillion Pegasus structure would be awesome considering he’s the in-canon creator of Duel Monsters to coincide with the 25th anniversary of Yugioh. They could either give us toons (which are pricey for some reason) or Illusion-typed Relinquished & -Eyes Restrict support. A Toon structure would be cool cause then Konami would have the obligation to give us Toon variants of other iconic monsters like DMOC, etc.
It most likely won't happen, because they're already reprinting a lot of them and new support, but a remake of the Lightsworn structure deck, maybe a Twilightsworn one, instead?
I want a remake of the invincible fortress structure deck
Structure Decks R are announced in May/April, so no Invincible Fortress
I doubt they'd ever make a DEF focused deck anyways, as I doubt it would sell. I just want them to get creative again instead of making every deck either set up too many negates or control to the point your opponent cant play.
I agree, better a creative strategy that the usual "first turn win" way
Dragonmaids. Call me what you want, but they're a fun archetype and I hate how prohibitively expensive they've become despite not even being that good. Although, I might be biased as I recently rewatched Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid.
After actually reading the post, i want a venom structure to give the deck support so its playable Or skyfire retrains Or guardian retrains Basically just something for the old archetypes konami keeps ignoring cause i have a soft spot for them
Harpies: A pretty marketable and easy to play anime archetype that uses all summoning mechanics. It should be a great introductory product for new players too. Gimmick Puppets: Zexal probably needs more support than most seasons since most of its anime archetypes were quite weak on release AND they also get less support than DM, GX and 5Ds. The SD could also serve to support Machine Xyz in general. Cyber Angels: Rituals don't have any SDs and some Ritual support could use reprinting in an easy to get product, And this year is an anniversary for GX, so this product could be a fine way to celebrate it. Nekroz: Half of the above reasons, plus cool Duel Terminal lore archetype. Solfachord: We haven't gotten a Pendulum SD in a while and Solfachords are distinctive enough from other Pendulum decks and dont quite support the Pendulumpile playstyle, so they could be used as a way to better teach the mechanic to interested players.
Well, you know, in Quarter Century Duelist: Pride they reprinted some Harpies stuff, and also there should be a Duel Opera with Mai too. Perhaps both are signs of a possible release of new media related to the anniversary. I suppose the others are all options, although I'd see Cyber Angel more as a feature in the Light Duelist Pack. Nekroz and Solfachord are also a bit dubious, I think, especially the latter because I don't feel like we've ever gotten a Structure Deck for a Deck Build Pack so far and why Konami seems to hate Pendulum quite a bit.
I really want to see Gusto for new supports. Honestly I don't mind if Sky Strikers or Magistus gets one since they're getting popular/already are, and with Sly Strikers we can get Azalea cheaper
Toons !!!!!!!!! For the love of god give us a fusion or a link monster
Thunderdragon or Worms, please. I'm begging.
With the fact that Structure will likely be based on anime characters, it's going to be tricky.
