Forum:Starter Deck Comparison

Since I quit YuGiOh, I have been looking for casual ways to play. While my constructible duel deck idea (in deck help) is one way, I wanted to try to find another. So I have been thinking about getting some of the starter decks so they could be used to duel each other. However, the starter decks weren’t meant to do that so there could be some that are stronger than others.

I mainly am looking at the 2008 and up, since before then they lacked synchros which gives those a bit of a disadvantage. I've compared the 2008, 2009, 2010, and the upcoming 2011 (assuming US is same) and while some are stronger in different areas they seem to be balanced. However, some of those minor advantages that I was willing to overlook may be very noticeable in actual duels. (aka, 1 deck could have better trap defense and that could give them enough power to get out their good monsters or such).

So I want to see what other players think about the starter decks (2008 and onward). If anyone has them and could test some against each other, I would love to know how balanced the duels where. I would also like to hear which decks may be overpowering compared to others based on their deck lists. Bio (talk • contribs) 22:29, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
