Back in the day, Counter Fairies used to wreak havoc in the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG competitive scene, Now a brand new structure deck will mark the return of these powerful monsters in Wave of Light.

Wave of Light will release Jan. 19 and bring back a ton of Fairy support that allows duelists to negate effects from monsters, spells and traps. Each Structure Deck: Wave of Light contains a 41-card Main Deck, including:

· 36 Common Cards

· 3 Super Rare Cards

· 2 Ultra Rare Cards

· 1 Token Card

· 1 Beginner’s Guide

· 1 Double-sided Deluxe Game Mat / Dueling Guide

Here’s the flavor text from Konami describing what will be included in the Wave of Light structure deck.

“Feel the surge of radiance with Structure Deck: Wave of Light! Fairies are back in a big way this New Year, harnessing a bounty of wisdom to counter anything their foe throws at them. You get to make the final call on what resolves with Structure Deck: Wave of Light! This 41-card themed Deck takes the popular Counter Trap Fairy strategy to new heights. Whether it’s a Monster, Spell, or Trap, you get to choose its fate with powerful negation effects that decide the Duel.

This deck is all about careful planning and decision making – corner your opponent and negate their last chance at survival to pave your way to victory! Airknight Parshath is back and more powerful than ever. A massive 2800 ATK makes this new form the strongest Parshath yet, and its synergy with Counter Traps allows it to either descend from the sky or resurrect itself if it has fallen.

A new Field Spell fills the role of The Sanctuary in the Sky while also providing your Fairies with added protection. There is also a Counter Trap that not only negates any effect, but Summons any Parshath from your Main or Extra Deck! All of these cards and other brandnew Fairies play off of the Counter Trap Fairy synergy, making Structure Deck: Wave of Light a streamlined strategy right out of the box!”

The Wave of Light structure deck is coming in January.
