Doctrine – Advantages Part 1: Card Advantages

Welcome to the part 1 of articles on core Yugioh strategy – Advantages.

Roughly four weeks ago we received our newest structure deck – Lost Sanctuary. I have been busy testing this deck and I can definitely say the quality of structure decks have been improving each time they release a new one – and this is one great deck where you can just simply buy three, stick it together and have a deck that is already at a high standard.
