On April 20, Konami will release the Structure Deck: Lair of Darkness for its long-running Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game.
The focus of the Lair of Darkness pre-constructed deck are dark and deceptive forces and demonic beings. The deck includes the titular Lair of Darkness, which can bring dark monsters back into play from the Graveyard, Darkest Diabolos, Lord of the Lair, who has an ability that allows its controller to pay Dark monsters as tribute in order to manipulate their opponent’s hand, and Lilith, Lady of Lament and her Grinning Grave Virus that can cause a plague over her opponent’s hand and deck.
As a Structure Deck, Lair of Darkness can be played right out of the box. The cards are also designed to work well with the upcoming Dark Saviors booster set. Each Lair of Darkness deck comes with 41 cards, including 36 common, 3 super rare, and 2 ultra rare cards, as well as a Token card, a Beginner’s Guide, and a double-sided game mat.
The Lair of Darkness will release two weeks ahead of the Flames of Destruction set (see "The ‘Flames of Destruction’ Are Heading for ‘Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG’"), during the Lost Art Promotion period (see "‘Yu-Gi-Oh!’ ‘Lost Art Promotion’").
