My favorite story of the Dinomasher's Fury is the guy who got three of the decks, no sleeves, put them together, played on a McDonald's tray as his playmat, and got top 8 with this super jank set-up.
I think an honorable mention for an OCG structure deck is in order. It came out in 2003 and was called Kaiba volume 2. We never got this deck, I think mainly because it included all these cards. Tribe infecting virus Cyber Stein Graceful charity Limiter removal Heavy storm Nobleman Enemy controler Dust Tornado Ring of Destruction Call of the Haunted So by buying 3 of it you'd have a pretty stacked S/T line up for the time
Zombie Horde is just a personal favorite of mine. I think Doomking was a crazy boss monster with a negate, banish and self revival. Red eyes zombie also being in it was crazy. Zombie world made everything come together so that does make it much weaker when your opponents know that. If only Red Eyes Zombie Dragon Lord was in it
Couldn't agree more, i still have my fully built competitive dino deck, only reason i'm not playing it rn is because Lol Misc@1 but yeah back in the day i smashed 3 of these together and won locals countless times, and a few years and some actual money later i was able to abuse the powerful combo potential and picked up stuffl ike Appolloosa, Archosaur, the scrap engine and borreload savage dragon. Though I do want to mention Legend of the Crystal Beasts. It's not "meta" but it has insane reprints of staple handtraps and previously ass expensive support like rainbow bridge and crystal bond. And it forms a decent control strat that with the right pilot can take matches off Swordsoul and even Tearalment. I've seen it happen.
Seeing dinosmasher's fury as number one makes me so happy, I originally got into yugioh with this structure deck and this just makes me so happy to know a lot of people agree that this structure deck is absolutely crazy, not to mention UCT got his effect updated in El dorado to be a quick effect finally, I can't wait to see what awesome support they get in the future
I was in the same position. I was doing a bunch of research at the time on what structure decks i should start out with - the brand new structure deck (Salamangreat) or Dino’s. Crazy to think I chose the best time to start playing Yugioh and I couldn’t have gone wrong with either option
@@babrad you know I never saw it that way lol, I was always so worried about him getting outsped by quick effect so the new printing just made me feel more at ease💀
One slight correction: Monarchs wasn’t DUEA format. It was Dracopals, Kozmo, and PK Fire format. Also, another really great honorable mention is the Marik structure deck in late 2010. You could buy three of them (along with three GK Recruiter) and have a fully competitive Gravekeeper deck at a time when the deck was really strong.
Same and it’s so fucking depressing how hyped it was when I bought it vs. How much it’s fallen tier-wise Currently coping for Byssted to bring it back but who knows lol
modern day yugioh i'd give it to the salad structure deck b/c the 1st common print for ash followed 2nd by the new crystal beast deck with ash, ghost belle, and other good stuff. of the older stuff i'd say dino smashers fury or the dark world decks.
@@Droidman000 it’s a dino deck with a small pk engine underclock taker and oviraptor can get you into a bardiche, then end on 5 negates off of three cards in hand: lost world, a baby, and dark hole :)
I hate the dino structure deck because it felt to complicated to me and I ended up spending $40 on a Lunalight core and shit has been going steady since. Especially we got Tiger back.
Great list, just feel like Balerdroch and Infinite Impermanence reprints deserved a shout out as honorable mentions in the Zombie and Cyber Dragon structure deck respectively
yep that structure deck ruined a format. there was also the six samurai structure deck which was also a buy 3 and have a competitive deck, barring the extra
One SD that people often overlook is the Caius one. That SD slapped so hard when it came out. It was just a D.D goodstuff but it had so much synergy between them and Caius was the powerhouse for so many years
Man I feel like there is a little bit of a recency bias here. Missing dragons collide which i consider to be the best structure deck of all time. Dark armed dragon redmd chaos sorcerer all meta breaking yugioh cards at the time. Then you had ryko lyla and charge to fuel the grave. You had reasoning monster gate summoner monk snype hunter. And last but not least we had lightpulsar darkflare and eclipse wyvern. Wyvern was such a busted card and is banned now. A decent amount of these cards are still played now for example reasoning monster gate and redmd which is crazy for a 2012 deck. Chaos dragons was also a tier one deck at the time. I also feel like realm of light should also be on here. Lightsworns were meta defining in the 2014-2016 range. People refer to tearlament as new lightsworns. So much support for the deck in that structure deck along with a couple great staples like breakthrough skill and foolish burial.
The Dinosmashers structure deck got me back into yugioh and its held a special place in my heart ever since. I bought the shaddoll structure deck with it since they were both sitting in my walmart and I used to love terrorizing locals with just structure decks. I'm glad they both get the credit they deserve. Now all we need is misc back to three
Lunalights, Constellars, Predaplants, Speedriods, Cyber Angels, Red Eyes Black Dragon, and also Dark Magician Girls all need To Have Yugioh TCG Structure Deck's!
One of my absolute favourites is Dragunity Legion. It did alot for the archetype by giving it new cards like Dragunity Arma Mystletainn (which still sees play) that made it a playable rogue deck for years that even had a short stint as a Meta deck with the Dragunity Ruler variant. Oh and Dragon Ravine was in it. Y'know, *that* card.
Misc getting hit is the only reason you don't see more people on Dinos. Though some people still tried by pulling stuff like the Bishbaalkin FTK and dabbling with Dinomorphia. Deck wasn't even busted anymore by the time they did that so it was doubly insulting.
I'm surprised Pendulum Magicians didn't make it on the list. Sure, the generic staples aren't great, but pretty much every premier card has been a staple in pend piles since release. Wisdom-Eye, Joker, Pend Call, Absolute into Vortex, and so on are all insane for the deck.
@@wren5413 Master of Pendulum released in December of 2015. I know because I bought 3 and had a decently functioning deck besides Vortex Dragon which was pretty cheap at the time iirc. The structure decks from the DEUA era were just insane all around. Lightsworn was another one that you could top locals with 3 of and like $20 spent on 3 Eclipse Wyvern (piss cheap since it came out in PGLD), 1 of each ruler (literally $1 each), and a thrown together extra (R4NK toolbox had several cheap cards and Stardust was a generic 8 that cost like $4 after its SHSP re-print).
Albaz still hits pretty well as a rogue or budget low tier deck. Grab three, pick up some singles and you’ve got something pretty solid going. Also upgradability is strong depending on how much you wanna spend.
zombie madness. just 1 box had 3 pyramid turtles, 2x ryu koki, only needed 2 vampire lords to have been O P ! 3 compulsories too. super consistent and not gimmicky in it's effects like Zombie World or most decks now just in general
Monarchs arent duea format it was Dracopals PK Fire Kozmo Format. the structer deck came out after the infamous banlist that killed dolls nekroz and qli
Im biased but my answer is zombie hoarde it revamped the entire deck gave us easy options and massive consistency ups in a format that died to 1 zombie world due to thunder and salad being the top 2 decks. It was the perfect time to release and shake up everything zombie. Ive loved zombies since 2002 with bonz so im definitely biased but lets gooooooo
Let's go a W for my boys the Machinas my first structure deck for Yu-Gi-Oh and still my fav archtype to this day. That and fortress is my boy. Such a annoying yet powerful casual play card.
I don’t really play competitively but I actually find hero strike really fun (although I think I mostly got it in the first place due to gx nostalgia and finding heros cool)
Waaaaay back in the day, the Magician, zombie, and water decks had a lot of great cards with good conditional staples. Not a lot to pull out to put in other decks, but they could get crazy powerful with just a few changes.
That's an easy one, the machina structure deck. First off it reprinted dark bribe and d prison which were 2 great cards that you could only get through the video game so they were expensive and the people that had them were not letting them go. Mirror force as well got its first common reprint I believe. In addition to that the machina's were a great new archetype that were healthy for the game unlike what we got in 2012
The Shaddoll Structure Deck is pretty much the reason why i try to shoehorn Shaddolls into anything i'm playing. Can't afford Dangers in Thunder Dragon Tears? Shove in Shaddolls and Dark World Dealings. My only complaint is that i'm not able to run Silent Magician with it because its stupidly expensive. That card needs a reprint. Not even Silent Swordsman is that expensive, and while it negates spells once per turn, its not really searchable. You have to open with it in your hand, unless you're playing a light spellcaster deck and can run Photon Veil. I just dont see how that warrants $28... Although, i guess you could just mill Silent Burning off of your Tearlaments...
I’m sure other vendors would agree with me, but I used to sell more Monarch and Machina cards than anything else from structure decks. Like it was actually crazy how often they sold.
ultimate conductor tyranno is my favorite boss monster from modern yugioh. this card's design is so tight that if you made one slight buff to its effect it would probably get hit.
Maybe another honorable mention for Dragons Collide? Chaos Dragons were played in the meta and especially the new Lightpulsar and Eclipse Wyvern and the reprints of REDMD and DAD were very strong
Actually the first Structure Deck I've ever had was the HERO Strike³. My initial plan was to get the Fire King Nephthys one but it was out of stock, then I bough 3 HERO Strikes and even won my first tournament outside of the internet - which was recently, I won one of Hasher's Tournament using Magikey. It was a tournament that had at an event, the reward was good for how old I was back in that day but the staff "sort of" ran away with that prizes. And it was there where I've met a brazilian team that actually lived in the same city as I and he played some YCS with his team.
Maybe im just old but how is monarch not the best structute? It was nicknamed top in a box, in a format competing with draco pals(fair pepe), kozmo($60 dank destroyers), and p.k. fire (fogblade/beatrice turbo)
Dinosmachers fury - for longest time it was meta. Albaz strike - branded despia was the best deck last format. Shaddoll - schism turbo 4head. Salamangreat - arguably the 2nd or 3rd best deck of TOSS. Monarch - Best deck during monarch format.
I just made a deck with 3 copies of Albaz Strike and was able to special summon four of the fusion monsters in my first turn, then another on my opponent's first turn, then ended the game next turn.
I understand dino as number 1 but if we were strictly speaking on how overall good the entire structure was to the archetype as a whole, I have to give it to monarchs. Konami really REALLY outdid themselves with that structure deck, the new monarch spell and trap support, both new boss monsters, and the vassals were incredible. Monarchs still are such a powerful, consistent, cohesive strategy. I sometimes look at monarch as one of the perfect decks/archetypes in this game, and the structure deck and the cards it brought with it solidified that.
Rokket Revolt was a good SD, of course; You needed Borre-Savage and Striker Dragon to have the best potential of the deck, but nobody would deny that their staples were just as good, just watch how a red button and an imperial order made many suffer.
Good list and even though I agree with most of it I'm really surprised not to see the zombie horde SD on the list. It's one of the more underrated SD's. Mashing 3 of them together was quite decent but when you add only a few other cards like super poly and rivalry of warlords it can easily stop a lot of decks from making their power plays. I feel it's easily top 5 worthy and personally would cut the hero deck to put this one in behind albaz. by a spot or 2.
So I'm just gonna say it, some of the best structure decks were actually some of the very first few of them. Look you can say they're bad or they didn't do much BUT you have to realize the context of at the time it gave very needed reprints to some harder to get cards. Which very early on in the history of the game was pretty important considering a lot of cards had not had a lot of printings. Look I'm just saying context for what they did makes them something to always at minimum give a nod ro as those original reprint style decks helped keep the game going.
Lunalights didn’t have a structure deck. Sacred Beast meh besides seeing use as a engine in some deck and Spright experimenting with its lv 2 extender. Otherwise the only good reprint was Pot of Desires.
I knew Albaz Strike would be here, but so seeing The Endymion, Hyperion deck was also great. Also, as a recently converted Salad player thanks to the SD in Master Duel I'm happy and surprised to see the TCG equivalent so high in the list. P.S: Oh yeah, how could I forgot the deck that turned Dinos into the powerhouse there are today! Yeah, best structure deck by far
Feel like the Dinosaur structure got overhyped here, it was not mash 3, it didnt have any extra deck cards, Overtex, Double Evo Pill, or Giant Rex. Also, in terms of reprints, its pretty ass.
I find it funny how you put Hero Strike at 10 but put the rokket deck at honorable for a similar reason yet don't put Hero Strike in honorable cuz let's be honest except for those 3 Hero cards, that deck was bad. A better pick to put in this at 10 would have been the Realm of Light deck.
Sorry friend youre just wrong. Dinos have had longevity sure but monarchs and salad are the two most broken structures of all time. Edm and domain narchs were half the format when it came out and clearly the best decks. And salad was borderline tier 0.
These types of videos really shows that Stevie only started playing yugioh in the past 5 years. Please stop making videos based off the history of yugioh without actually researching the topic if you never played during those time periods. The fact that we're putting hero strike on the top 10 list over Dragons Collide is beyond me. The YCS dallas 2nd place list didn't even bother playing tour guide ffs

As a DInosaur's Rage player, I was so happy when the new deck finally made dinos playable

yep that structure deck ruined a format.

Zombie world deserved an honorable mention atleast (and i dont even play it)

Monarch - Best deck during monarch format.
honorable mentions: endymion, HERO, Machina, DW

I just made a deck with 3 copies of Albaz Strike and was able to special summon four of the fusion monsters in my first turn, then another on my opponent's first turn, then ended the game next turn.
ABC were relevant during Metalfoes-ABC-Paleo, where you had shit like Toadally Heroes
Still extremely budget compared to Toad's price

Without even watching the Video, I call Dinos.
DINO BABY
What about Cyber Dragon 2022 Structure Deck, Sacred Beasts, Lunalights, and also Rainbow Dragon's as well too!
Lunalights didn’t have a structure deck. Sacred Beast meh besides seeing use as a engine in some deck and Spright experimenting with its lv 2 extender. Otherwise the only good reprint was Pot of Desires.
Stronger reprints in heavily synergistic decks please konami lol
My favorite is soulburner
Salad oddly enough is not a structure deck, instead it’s a starter deck. Just like the Kaiba ABC one.
To proof how good dino structure deck it is, konami purpose make dinosaur deck ridiculously expensive in MD.
I knew Albaz Strike would be here, but so seeing The Endymion, Hyperion deck was also great.
Also, as a recently converted Salad player thanks to the SD in Master Duel I'm happy and surprised to see the TCG equivalent so high in the list.
P.S: Oh yeah, how could I forgot the deck that turned Dinos into the powerhouse there are today! Yeah, best structure deck by far
FURY FROM THE DEEP!
ZOMBIE MADNESS
THE DARK EMPEROR
SAGA OF BLUE EYES
CYBER DRAGON REVOLT
Like it more of these kind of content.
I love Stevie. I hope Stevie loves me too
Dragons Collide Structure Deck didn't make it wtf?
Feel like the Dinosaur structure got overhyped here, it was not mash 3, it didnt have any extra deck cards, Overtex, Double Evo Pill, or Giant Rex. Also, in terms of reprints, its pretty ass.
@@Hic_Sunt_Leones-o7v You did need Overtex when the deck came out because you had no other way to search Double Evo Pill.
HERO won a nationals this year. It ran shadow mist and dark law so it counts as the structure deck yeah? Lol
What about my zombie horde bros!?
No dragons collide?
Um... Traptrix where??
Cali screams it and so do I...... DINO BEST DECK!! LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sacred Beasts is the best because the anime is cool. Doesn’t matter how good the deck is.
This person plays YuGiOh
Pop dababy get dababy less gooooo
Hands down ancient gear is the best structure deck. Because ancient gear is a good deck? HELL NO!!! It's because there is a small cockroach in there.
I find it funny how you put Hero Strike at 10 but put the rokket deck at honorable for a similar reason yet don't put Hero Strike in honorable cuz let's be honest except for those 3 Hero cards, that deck was bad. A better pick to put in this at 10 would have been the Realm of Light deck.
Sorry friend youre just wrong. Dinos have had longevity sure but monarchs and salad are the two most broken structures of all time. Edm and domain narchs were half the format when it came out and clearly the best decks. And salad was borderline tier 0.
felgrand is def the best
I’m glad you have made actual content instead of virtue signaling for views lmao.
Machina easy

Dinos
These types of videos really shows that Stevie only started playing yugioh in the past 5 years. Please stop making videos based off the history of yugioh without actually researching the topic if you never played during those time periods. The fact that we're putting hero strike on the top 10 list over Dragons Collide is beyond me. The YCS dallas 2nd place list didn't even bother playing tour guide ffs
