Customer Reviews

A powerufl structure deck for beginners...
First, I would like to say that I am a beginner to Yu-Gi-Oh and have just purchased this deck in hope of starting off, so far I am quite pleased.

The deck, so far, has proven to be quite a powerful adversary; it's remove from play orientation serves as a useful and versatile strategy, when certain cards are drawn to create combinations, deadly effects can take place. To start myself off I bought a recommended booster and was pleasingly surprised with what I received. The triple booster with one ultra rare card was a Phantom of Darkness and I found myself with several more playable cards, being able to erase the weaker cards from the original structure from play, leaving me with even more dangerous combinations. As a result of the investment my maiden game against an experienced opponent was a win, proving it's efficiency and ability when handed to someone who can play tactically.

The downsides? Well I rarely say this, but there aren't many, possibly the lack of large damage dealing minions. If the correct cards aren't drawn to remove the opponents monsters from play, the lack of high attacking monsters become a problem as the better ones in this deck rely one cards being removed from play, there is also a lacking defence against Trap, Spell and Magic cards; especially trap. When someone is fighting with a zombie deck one may find themselves caught in a situation where the card removal abilities of their own cards are negated, since there is little spellcasting abilities of this deck, without customisation, a fightback will be difficult to make.

Overall I would definitely recommend this deck to any starter, it is fun, with many powerful monsters; particularly "Caius the Shadow Monarch". When using the correct combinations one may find themselves indisputable. I would also say that it is worth getting a Phantom Darkness set of boosters to customise the deck removing weak links at the same time.

A deck with a potent theme...
Thumbs up
1) The "Remove from play" theme is a great way to utilise and understand the game for starters and pros alike.
2) Bonus rare card "Caius the Shadow Monarch"
3) Other common but notable cards, DD Assailant,DD Survivor, Bottomles trap hole, Sakuratsu Armour, Karma Cut, Lightning Vortex.

Thumbs down
Some parts of the deck prevented this product from being five stars. Ah well, most structure/starter decks are there to be personalised and customised anyway.
