Summary
Structure decks in theYu-Gi-Oh!
TCGhave evolved over the years.
Here are the best cards that let you tribute your opponent’s monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh!
Some were great for giving you access to specific cards that you want to get three off.
Other decks also have a charm due to the popularity of their featured monsters.
So, which starter decks were the best?
two starter decks were made available.
These were Starter Deck Kaiba and Starter Deck Yugi.
Starter Deck Kaiba had some neat selections for the time.
This includes a copy of La Jinn, Ultimate Offering, and the anime-accurate Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
However, just like in the anime, Kaibas deck doesnt stand up to Yugis deck.
Luckily, the deck also included some useful generic cards for the time.
This includes a copy of Trap Hole, Dark Hole, and Monster Reborn.
This starter deck just had too many important cards for the early meta.
Giant Soldier of Stone was often the go-to defender of the day.
Meanwhile, Man-Eater Bug worked as a great way to remove monsters from the field.

This includes the anime art of the legendary Dark Magician.
It only makes sense that the protagonists deck has all the goodies.
With three of these decks combined, you could rule the playground.
These cards are Mythical Space Typhoon, Graceful Charity, and Soul Release.
Pegasuss deck also contained some pretty dirty tactics, with Robbing Goblin making hand rips easier.
Sonic Bird could fetch Ritual Spells directly from the deck if you wanted to build a semi-coherent Relinquished deck.
Here are the banned cards from the Duel Monsters era in Yu-Gi-Oh!
Another great card to be included in this deck is Giant Trunade which can reset both backrows.
Magician of Faith, while slow by todays standards, could allow players to recycle Spells they already used.
Now if only it contained more ofJoey’s luck cards from the anime.
2Starter Deck Kaiba Evolution
Can Kaiba Beat Yugi?
The original Kaiba deck got an upgrade with Starter Deck Kaiba Evolution.
This adds a few significant cards that made it worth picking up.
You could still have your anime Blue-Eyes White Dragon, as well as some additional goodies.
Megamorph could make your monsters twice as powerful when your life points were lower.
1Starter Deck Yugi Evolution
Can Luck Save Yugi This Time?
Starter Deck Yugi Evolution gets a few upgrades over its original counterpart.
It also mixed in the Ritual Summoning mechanic through Black Luster Soldier.
This isnt particularly a great card, but the deck makes up for it through its common selections.
Everything could be used to either buy you more time or draw through your deck faster.
If this was your entry into Yu-Gi-Oh!, then it was a fantastic place to start.
