A new structure deck has arrived! This one promises to be the first of many of a new kind of structure deck called 'Structure Deck EX'. What does the EX stand for? It's not clear. It is not explained in Duel Links or on the official web site here. Clearly, this is supposed to be better than the previous structure decks released thus far. Is it? Let's take a look.
First of all, the facts are as follows. This is the first structure deck to contain ultra rare cards. This deck has 21 cards in total (including duplicates). All of the cards are reprints except for 2: Gold Sarcophagus and Silent Magician. Both of these cards are ultra rare and have no duplicates. The deck cannot be purchased with gems. The deck costs $6.99 regularly but you can purchase it at a discounted price of $3.99. However, that price is only limited for 1 purchase. Subsequent copies will have to be purchased at the regular price.
How does this compare to the other decks? The other decks all had an average of 11 new cards (without duplicates). You could also purchase each deck once for the price of 500 gems before you had to spend $3.99 for any extra copies. Clearly, this new deck poses some troubling thoughts towards future deck releases. Will all EX structure decks be this way? Will there be any other way to get the cards for those of us (like myself) who prefer to not spend actual money on this game???
Again, it's not clear. For now, I will say that Spellbound Silence does not seem worth purchasing more than once unless you really want 3 copies of Silent Magician or Gold Sarcophagus. Seven dollars for 2 cards is far too expensive for my taste. I would recommend not purchasing this deck and waiting to see if the cards will be made available some other way. However, the choice is still yours, readers, so do as you see fit. I just know that I will not be purchasing this structure deck anytime soon.
Well, that does it for this week. I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I enjoyed writing it. What do you think of the new structure deck in Duel Links? Leave a comment below telling me your thoughts. I look forward to seeing what you think - is it worth it or not? Have a good weekend and as always, keep on gaming!!!
