Couldn't find a Yu-Gi-Oh thread, so here's one. Let's chat about everyone's favourite dumb broken game.
I'm new to the game myself, the only decks I own in real life are inspired by ones I used in the Tag Force 5 game, these being Frogs and Gladiator Beasts. I know that Substitoad is banned, but outside of that how viable are these decks in the current format?
Also, what are you playing? What are you building? Favourite archetype ever?

Toads are still fun to play but cannot usually hold up to anything past Nekroz. I usually play an Odd-eyes Magician deck (main tourney deck), an Exodia Underdog deck (giggles), and have started building Blue Eyes with the new support (hopefully going meta).
The Odd-eyes deck is fun to play and doesn't really brick out anymore now that I run 3 Call and 2 Terraforming. Planning on picking up any new structure decks or boxes?

I don't know a single thing about the release structure of Yu-Gi-Oh. How does it work? Are structure decks the only that get released? Or are there expansion sets like MtG?

The booster sets lately have been support for some of the original cards as well as more recent archetypes. Structure decks have become the staple for a good basis. An example of this is Master of Pendulum. You can pretty much cram e together and have a decently competitive deck for 30 bucks. The current top meta is Monarchs which can be built for under 70 (Domain monarchs) by using 3 Emperor of Darkness structures and a few other cards for support. In fact, Domain just won Nationals and it made a lot of people mad.
Really where the most of the money is going these days, at least in my case, is my extra deck as it can help you counter most other strategies. XYZs really work well even if you don't have anything really powerful monster wise as can synchros and both have sped up the game.
Your best bet these days unless you are building a collection is to buy singles that you need and watch some profile videos. Otherwise, buy a couple booster boxes of your favorite archetype and roll with it.

So what are some rank 4 XYZs worth including in a Gladiator Beast deck? I love playing the deck, it's so much fun. If I understand correctly you need monsters of certain levels to combine together into the XYZ monsters, right? What are some staples I could use?

I saw that guy actually, he looks amazing. Are frogs viable now even without Substitoad? I was planning on picking a couple of copies when it comes out here for my casual frog deck but will the deck be playable in the real TCG?

Dark rebellion XYZ Dragon, Evils warm cards, 39 Utopia, gagaga cowboy, and trap trip rafflasia are all solid choices. And even then, some XYZs can overlay onto a lower lever xyz for some real fun (see cyber dragon nova and cyber dragon infinity). With the inclusion of a couple tuners, you could sync 9 regularly. Pendulums can help bring in a ton of fodder as well but no real frog archetype pendulums.

Would it be possible for you to post your Gladiator Beast deck?

Okay, here you go. It's a PrismaGlads build, my local game store owner helped me polish it up from my in-game version I was using.
