Types of Decks
It’s important to know which Yugioh structure decks are best for you. Here are the deck types you should know about.
Aggressive Decks
Aggressive decks, or aggro decks, wreak havoc against opponents that have slow opening cards. They effectively get rid of or render useless many cards on the field.
Example archetypes include:
- Frightfur
- Blackwing
- Darklord
This type of deck, however, suffers against slow, grind-out games and versatile decks.
Control Decks
Control decks use highly disruptive cards and respond to large threats with minimal waste of resources. They slow down the pace of duels, benefitting from uneven trades with the opponent.
Sample archetypes include:
- Domain Monarch
- Counter-Fairy
- Yosenju
- Paleozoic
Combo Decks
Combo decks roll on their ability to extend multiple cards onto the field to summon monsters. You need to use an extra deck since many monsters lack the firepower.
Example archetypes include:
- Dark Synchro
- Plant Synchro
- Quasar Decks
Combo decks often suffer against disruptive cards in the middle of the combo.
Ramp
Ramp decks build a powerful mid-to-late game performance and involve several cards staying on the field. They are weak early in the game but unstoppable later.
Example archetypes include:
- Fire Fist
- Metalfoes
- Dark Magician
The downside is that ramp decks use a large amount of deck space, so defenses are often thin.
Midrange
Midrange decks offer a balance of offense and defense. They are highly versatile, consistent, and powerful, although the monsters are not as powerful as aggro decks.
Example archetypes include:
- Battlin’ Boxer
- Constellar
- Machina Gadget
Midrange decks can lack any specialties despite being capable in all areas of the duel.
Hybrid
Hybrid decks attempt to combine all features of the aforementioned decks. The main goal is to fix the weaknesses of the other decks.
Sample archetypes include:
- Magician Pendulum
- Tellarknight
- Kozmo
Hybrid decks often fail when faced against pure decks of the same typing. For example, a hybrid deck of aggro/control is weak against pure aggression decks.
What Kind of Deck Do You Want?
After learning and mastering these decks, what kind of deck do you think will give you the best chances of winning?
Get Rid of What Doesn’t Work
You may like the deck or the card, but if it doesn’t give you a better chance at winning, ditch it. Replace it with something that works.
Test the Decks
Lastly, the best way to strengthen your Yugioh deck is to master how to use it. Practice playing the decks and simple strategies three to five times and make every time count.
Good luck with your decks!
