_I will literally take anything at this point. Gimme dat Malicevorous Structure Deck already, Konami!_

The lack of structure decks is something that concerns me as a budget player.

Structures are a great way to give older decks affordable support and help get new players in the game.

It would be cool seeing a Pegasus and Joey Structure deck simular to the Yugi and Seto Kaiba Structure deck from 2016. Pegasus would get new Toons and Joey could get some new good Red-eyes cards.

"Blue-Eyes White Destiny" announced for February 7th for the Tcg

In the words of a famous krab under the sea: “MONEY”

[vlane]

I really believe konami tcg wants to destroy this game. The number of decisions they have made that are completely irrational is insane to me.

Tins: promos are gone, set is beyond blated, too many reprints make no sense.

Structures: no new announcements despite 4 being dropped in the ocg, mermail got put into a set instead of getting a structure the way fire kings did.

Side sets: short prints all day, fewer full fool sets, questionable changes to the ratios

Ban list: questionable limits, not enough bans, same format as before, with barely any new blood introduced.

It is beyond me how konami is profiting these days.

Without structure decks i would not return to yugioh. I love structure decks and what they’ve done for us honestly, especially super budget $30 deck profile hunter guys like me

[akdragunov]

The gulf between how the TCG and OCG is treated is borderline criminal. Unify the games and treat all your players equally. I don't understand how this has gone on so long and people just accept it. I think after the latest set, budget-but-competitive through casuals will quit the game entirely (locking a game-warping staple behind a $150 secret price wall is sadistic). I fit into the former category and don't really see how continuing paper play is feasible anymore. Worst part is people will still buy and feed the beast. Won't name names but there are even yugitubers licking the boot and demeaning the community for bringing these obvious issues up. It ain't gonna change either, it's all blackpills

[godkingzan]

I feel like Konami is just coasting and cashing out on Yugioh TCG. Too many weird things happening back to back. I doubt it will happen, but I wouldn't be surprised if they just stop doing the TCG.

[kevinoviedo]

I actually talked about this with my friends the other day. I can speculate that Konami is putting Structure Deck cards in booster sets whether in the side sets or main sets. Which is no surprise at all considering that it’s about the money with Konami.

And I love Structure Decks since it’s easy access to cards, it’s cheap (feel free to disagree), and they’re premade; just add in certain staples to function.

[Aaron__Parker]

Could be they want to shrink the game. Our sets aren't very conducive for casuals and new players. The best cards get secret rare or higher printings, so they always cost an arm and a leg while relevant. The competitive scene is nothing but complaints. The last good set was Rarity Collection, but then they released a ban list that makes everyone weary with these products going forward. As well, it seems the TCG especially has a problem with the latest card designs and power of the archetypes shifting to be so much faster.

TL;DR
The TCG is probably super low effort for them rn.

[GhostlyGhost]

I told you they stopped bringing structure decks to the tcg!!! Been saying this for a while now!
We won’t get a Blue Eyes structure deck, as that’s getting broken up and put into a side set with horrible pull rates.
If ya don’t like what Konami is doing with structure decks, like me, then stop buying product. And shout your frustration on their social media. Vomiting horses optional.

[arlangunadi]

They probably won't import it and will insert the new cards into other product.

Like, notice they also haven't announced the Light Duelist Pack (Duelist of Brilliance) and they already announce Crossover Breakers. It's a sign that they probably won't import it as it is to TCG.

My guess is, they gonna milk them on some kind of 'Kaiba Exclusive' Booster or set, like "Duelist Pack Kaiba 2", or "Legendary Collection: Kaiba's World 2" which include the new Blue-Eyes and the new AtoZ Union cards together as well as reprints of unnecessary old cards to dilute the card pool.

[SakuraAvalon]

Wouldn't be shocked if they don't want to give out these to the TCG anymore, and would rather you have to pull the new cards out of the side sets/main sets.

[SenpaiYGO]

All I know.. is I want that Blue Eyes Deck and I’m certainly snatching 3 copies (Of every new card, since these replies require me update this comment to specify)!

[pieoverlord]

I will legitimately get back into paper Yugioh if they bring over the Tactical Try Decks. So what I'm saying is, I'm glad they're fumbling this hard. It's saving me a lot of money.

[dagobertobobadillajr]

Ocg got 4 this year, we haven't even gotten 1. They are breaking up the Blue-Eyes deck

Update 10/3: So, it was just announced. However, my point still stands. A whole year without a structure deck.

[KitKaro]

Structure deck cards are going into the packs i bet. All the blue eyes stuff is about to be chase secrets

[deztacular]

The Tactical Try decks in the OCG are probably what gives them pause with making new structure decks. Just because they'll always be compared to the immense value these decks have for the average player.

Abundant staples like ash, talents and thrust, Imperm and the like, packed in with several well known/recognizable archetypes like Live Twins or Cyber Dragon that would probably appeal to new and returning players. Again, the value these TT decks give for a really good price in the OCG, are the type of product the TCG would never give us, instead opting to ignore the issues and continue printing the next over-priced secret rare.

[ttarzzxz]

I'm gonna be so upset if they shove the blue eyes structure deck into some other set. From what I saw in an opening of the jp version it comes with a booster pack that has rarity bumped versions of some of the cards in that. I'd love something like that in the tcg so I can get some shiny cardboard
