How Structure Decks Made Lightning Vortex Legendary
We’re taking it back to the old school with one of the most iconic reprints ever: Lightning Vortex. Originally debuting in Flaming Eternity as a Super and Ultimate Rare, this powerhouse card became an instant must-have for duelists.
Why? With Dark Hole and Raigeki Forbidden at the time, Lightning Vortex swooped in to fill the void, offering proactive mass monster removal and even doubling as a discard outlet for Chaos strategies. It hit the Limited list in record time after its release, proving its game-changing potential.
But here’s the kicker—while its original printings were rare treasures, Structure Deck: Warrior’s Triumph brought Lightning Vortex into the hands of every duelist. In fact, it saw 11 reprints across Structure and Starter Decks, cementing its legacy as one of the most accessible yet impactful cards in Yu-Gi-Oh history.
