Structure Deck "Theme" Poll Plan
The Structure Deck "Theme" Poll Plan (ストラクチャーデッキ「テーマ」投票企画)[1] was a poll conducted in 2019 to determine what the theme should be for an upcoming OCG Structure Deck in Japan. Voters could choose between 20 different themes.
"Shaddoll" won the poll with the 34% of votes, resulting in the creation of Structure Deck: Rebirth of Shaddoll.[2] While only the first-ranking theme was promised to be made into a Structure Deck, Structure Deck: Sacred Beasts of Chaos (a Structure Deck based on the Sacred Beasts, which came in a close second with 33%) and Structure Deck: Masters of the Spiritual Arts (a Structure Deck supporting the "Charmer" archetype, which came in a distant third with 15%), were subsequently released.
In 2022, after the Structure Decks from Structure Deck "Theme" Poll Plan 2020 and two subsequent Structure Decks were printed, Structure Deck: Legend of the Crystals (a Structure Deck supporting the "Crystal Beast" archetype, which came in fifth) was released. Structure Deck: Forest of the Traptrix was subsequently announced, meaning that all 5 finalists will ultimately be released as Structure Decks.

Subsequent releases

The second and third place themes, Sacred Beasts and "Charmers", received Structure Decks in 2020; the fourth and fifth place themes, "Traptrix" and "Crystal Beasts", received Structure Decks in 2022; other themes had new cards printed in other sets.
