MOAR RAID RAPTOR SUPPORT THIS TIME WITH WITH A NEW RANK FUCKING 13 XYZ MONSTER! https://ygorganization.com/raindownhellmygiantmetalbirdies/ https://archive.ph/8Zf7g

Blogposts incoming I bought a cheap dinosaur deck a couple weeks ago and i've been testing it out both in locals and EDO, it's pretty fun even if you don't play it at full power 3 ground xeno, 1-2 xeno meteorus, 0-1 transcendosaurus meteorus, 1 megazowler, 3 pot of prosperity, 1 transcendosaurus gigantozowler, 1 S:P little knight and 1 baronne de fleur, all for around $350, mind you that i bought my deck for $10 and only had to add another $10 or so worth of singles to get it up and running, though not having access to ground xeno and pot of prosperity really slows it down. These are the variants i tried: >dinosaur pure Slow and bricky as shit, even with the 3 pot of extravagance i borrowed. No real end goal besides turboing out UCT, 3-4 material apollousa and evolzar laggia, who you can't even safely turn into zeus because his spell/trap negate needs you to detach the two materials and it's very likely he'll just get ran over. >dinosaur scrap Doesn't brick as often and gives access to borreload savage plus however many generic level 8 synchros you want, still not what i'd consider good. >dinosaur scrap + naturia beast package Same shit as above, but you add nemeses keystone, gallant granite and naturia beast to it, which really helps the deck out (it even recycles miscellanosaurus and ensures you have a monster in hand to tribute with UCT no matter what), but you need to open 2 specific cards in hand in order to get the combo going (which is absurdly easy, even though one of those cards is limited). With just a miscellanosaurus/fossil dig and a babycerasaurus/another fossil dig in hand you can end turn with a 2 negate borreload savage/psy-framelord omega, 3 negate apollousa, naturia beast and UCT. This is the variant that has seen the most success in locals despite it's relative complexity (i have to keep looping baby, do the scrap combo, then do the naturia beast combo and finish with the borreload and apollousa combos), as it can end turn with at least two negators and UCT unless you brick extremely hard,we're talking nothing but staples and both UCT's. >dinosaur shaddoll I've heard of the 60 card grass pile deck before, but with the card banned it doesn't really work. Destroying shaddolls in hand with archosaur does trigger their effects, but i get brick hands 90% of the time, though it may just be me not knowing how to build them. In my opinion all it has going for it is a cool going second tech: -Activate shaddoll fusion to send overtex qoatlus and shaddoll beast/dragon to the GY -Summon el shaddoll winda (to the link zone so you can turn her into gravity controller if need be) -Fetch a double evolution pill from the deck and draw 1/destroy a spell or trap -Activate double evolution pill to send the two monsters you have in GY and summon UCT The end result is one board breaker and one floodgate off of 1 card. It's not very good though, if you open one of your bricks (overtex, beast/dragon) you're SOL, and if you're gonna run 3 fusion spells plus two bricks you may as well splash DPE or dragoon instead. There's also another build i also tried, but that one did take me a while to come up with, so i want to explain it in its own post.

>>1083 >dinosaur invoked This started out as a joke build seeing as my dinosaur shaddoll build failed miserably, but after a lot of testing in EDO i actually got some results that i want to share with everyone, if only to encourage people to try their hand at deck building, as it's both satisfying and fun. It's basically just the dinosaur scrap naturia deck with the invoked engine shoved into it (3 aleister, 3 meltdown, 2 invocation, 1 terraforming, 1 artemis, 1 invoker of madness) because you can actually bring out every fusion turn 1 but elysium (unless you run a powerful generic link-2, and i can only think of 1), cocytus (sucks), raidjinn and purgatrio (UCT can cover for both). First of all, the naturia beast combo, which only needs babycerasaurus and miscellanosaurus in hand, this is what inspired me to find a combo of my own. Now for the actual build, every deck runs these ED cards in order to minimize sacking, as my ideal combo needs three exact cards in hand (babycerasaurus/petiteranodon/fossil dig, miscellanosaurus/another fossil dig and aleister/meltdown/terraforming): -1 dolkka, 1 laggia, 1 scrap wyvern, 1 mechaba, 1 caliga, 1 augoeides, 1 invoker of madness, 1 naturia beast, 1 gallant granite, 1 borreload savage, 1 linkuriboh, 1 artemis, 1 apollousa The other 2 cards depend on your budget: -$3: 1 unicorn, either 1 avramaxx (hard to get rid of) or 1 unchained abomination (can destroy a card in every end phase and whenever augoeides does) -$30+: 1 unicorn, 1 accesscode -$100+: 1 elysium, 1 S:P little knight And the end result is: -$3: UCT, augoeides, 4.1k borreload with 3 omni negates and either avramaxx or unchained abomination -$30+: UCT, augoeides, 3.9k borreload with 2 omni negates and a 5.3k accesscode with artemis and unicorn in the GY (it's possible to have a 4.1k borreload alongside a 5.3k accesscode with my build, but you need to run 3 invocation and open babycerasaurus/petiteranodon, miscellanosaurus, aleister and invocation) -$100+: UCT, elysium, S:P little knight and a 3.9k borreload with 2 omni negates, if you don't like elysium feel free to replace it with unicorn, this way the end result is UCT, augoeides, S:P little knight and a 4.1k borreload with 3 omni negates (there's no way to get an elysium alongside a 4.1k borreload unless you run 3 invocation, 2 mechaba, elysium, unicorn, S:P little knight, then go second AND open the same hand as the one mentioned above) I won't say this build is the definitive one, but i'm pretty comfortable with it. Obviously this is all subject to change since ground xeno and baronne could drastically change everything.

>>1086 The 4 archetypes featured in terminal world are supposed to get alt arts, right? Do we have the other ones yet?

>>1089 >The 4 archetypes featured in terminal world are supposed to get alt arts, right? Do we have the other ones yet? Not yet from what I know Void Imagination, an infernoid card has one.

It's been a month already, so i'm back with the results of my dino invoked deck. It's shit, i never opened the ideal hand, so my combos never went farther than "summon mechaba, pass" or "summon UCT, often the hard way, pass", as expected of someone who picked up a new deck, tried to mix it with a deck he already knows, and then clumsily tried to play both at the same time. For this week i decided to flat out drop the invoked part and just focus on dinosaurs, i learned a lot from more experienced players and from just testing random hands in EDO, for example: >linkuriboh and secure gardna are an absolute necessity >generic level 8 synchros aren't worth it, it's better to fill it with staples or R4NK >the deck has a lot of 2-card combos, several of which end up on apollousa/avramaxx, borreload, naturia and UCT >true king package (1-2 lithosagym and 1 diagram) which i disregarded completely before, is actually a very important part of the deck, as both cards can trigger any baby/petit on hand >lost world and scrap raptor alone can end on borreload, apollousa/avramaxx and UCT To be honest i'm liking this deck a lot more than i thought i would, but i'm still not sure if i should spend more than a few dollars on it. I'm definitely adding the true king package though, maybe i'll even replace the doodle beast package with the dinomorphia one since it's just as cheap and rexterm is free if i drew lost world on top of my ideal 2-card combo: >do the usual dino scrap naturia lines >when wyvern has to pop a card, instead of popping baby to bring out petit, i target the token instead >replace the token with petit >petit summons therizia >therizia sets frenzy >go through the entire combo right until it's time to go for avramaxx (apollousa doesn't get her full 3-4 negates due to lost world) >since i have an extra body in the form of therizia, i can xyz summon emeral (or dugares, but emeral can recycle 3 cards, and if i drew the other therizia i absolutely need to send one back to the deck) to draw a card >if need be, summon unicorn first with wyvern and gallant, then avramaxx with unicorn and emeral >end on avramaxx, borreload with 2-3 counters, naturia beast, UCT and frenzy >use my negates wisely >if the opponent still manages to play past them, i flip frenzy to send therizia and kentregina to the GY and summon rexterm >rexterm is a 3k ATK skill drain that summons another egg token to their field (if they didn't get rid of lost world first) Unfortunately if i were to use rexterm as UCT's tribute i can't bring back kentregina from the GY since she wasn't special summoned properly, not that it'd be worth it since she'd just be a 2k effectless monster. I wanted to replace avramaxx with linkmail archfiend too, but a ton of decks have no way to get rid of him and lost world offers better protection (targeting from card effects as opposed to just targeting from monster effects, and archfiend only protects ED monsters). Pic attached is what i took to locals today, though the dinomorphia, true king and pots were borrowed.

I had horrible luck last saturday; i drew both therizias a lot, didn't draw a true king card even once and a lot of my hands were nothing but spell cards and babies (the level 2 ones), but i was so stubborn i kept all those bricks instead of adding actually useful cards like ash, imperm, called and duster simply because i wanted to see how rexterm would fare against other decks and witness first hand how it feels to rip 3 cards out of someone's extra deck. It never happened, however i did learn a lot more about dinos. I've been sleeping a lot on xeno meteorus, even without ground xeno it can still carry its own weight, even if that means adding 3-4 potential bricks in the deck (2-3 xeno, 1 frostosaurus). As for how it's useful, it's basically a free body whenever you draw it, but it's not just apollousa fodder, he can actually do some very important things: -If they stopped my combo early (ash on wyvern) i can simply pop the baby with xeno, and i get level 4 and a level 6 out of it, this locks me into four monster types, but i can still end turn on either wyvern, UCT, dolkka/laggia and solda/lars, or wyvern, UCT, borreload with a single counter and solda/lars. Not terribly impressive, but not bad in the slightest. -Being a level 6 tuner makes him able to summon baronne with any level 4 if i didn't lock myself that is, and baronne in turn can shuffle herself back into the deck after using her negate to bring out xeno meteorus or any other level 9 or lower monster, like a baby/petit or even pankratops. -The scrap raptor+lost world combo that ended in laggia/dolkka/borreload, 2-3 negate apollousa/avramaxx and UCT? If i drew xeno as well i can add a lars/solda to it. Something else i learned is that giving borreload more than 2 counters is basically useless, he never needs more than 2, he sometimes doesn't even get to spend those 2. So i replaced unicorn with masquerena, as an avramaxx summoned off her can become nigh indestructible, very few decks can deal with this thing without running kaijus. It's a shame that the transcendosaurus cards are mediocre despite looking awesome, being retrains of old dinosaur cards and having a cool playstyle (they're basically complements to the tried-and-true dino scrap combo and good tributes for UCT). -Gigantozowler isn't half bad for OTK'ing and doing big brain plays (summon it on your turn to recycle a petit, end turn, destroy it with UCT, summon it back with its own effect to pop an opponent's card and your own petit to summon pankratops, then recycle another dino), but for that you need to either hard draw frostosaurus, have a very specific hand (any combination of your 2 card combo, ground xeno and either another baby or fossil dig) or lock yourself for the turn, and 9 times out of 10 you're better off summoning baronne or lars instead. -Glaciasaurus is probably the second worst one, battle protection doesn't mean shit these days, and if you destroy it then summon it back it gains total immunity to being targeted and destroyed by card effects, but it's just a 3.6k ATK nigh unbeatable beatstick. -Drillygnathus is an interesting card, dealing piercing damage as long as it has no materials is a nod to the old days of using pentestag to do the same with UCT probably? the traptrix structure had a nod to H.A.T., but the other effect is weird, basically the card wants to be a beatstick and extender that doesn't need you to summon rex at the end of the scrap combo (there's no space in the board for him to come back when banished anyway), as it can summon misc with his effect, this means you can run the dinomorphia package over the naturia one and end in pic related, which is insane. What's the issue with this? It also needs the aforementioned specific hand. And there's no guarantee he'll make it to the next turn for you to make use of the piercing effect, and you can't hold off on summoning it because it's a trigger effect. -Exaraptor was really close to being good, and i'm talking good enough for you to lock yourself early since he special summons from hand and lets you draw a card just by going through the motions, but his arrows just had to point to the sides and upwards instead of downwards. Summoning it on your turn, destroying it then summoning it back does allow you to finally put his effects to good use (since he doesn't have to be summoned to the link zone), but being basically unusable in the first turn makes him the absolute worst one. It could have been the extra deck extender/boss monster that dinosaurs desperately need, and konami just said no way fag. See the pics attached for the boards that gigantozowler and drillygnathus can theoretically put out, lets hope they fix this archetype in the future because it has a lot of potential.

Fire's been doing a lot better recently and Oil is pretty much just a generic recursion for fire monsters that nets you ash blossom anytime you want. Smol Goddess is interesting but gimmicky I hope it doesn't activate and it's just a continuous effect like Underworld Goddess of the closed world.

Rank 4 sharks/Utopia support.

Turned out Deformer is a good synchro7 spam engine. I hate yusei so I won’t use that gather light for free pop 1 each 2 turns though. AG Devil is the only one who can attack through player1 stall. P1 have Meluseek ready to picking up p2 board but that C&D redirect attack to Microscope. Clausolas ready to destroy it by battle,but ancient battle trap. I believe p2 might be out of deck next turn but manage to win effect damage.

Majong-themed dragons that double as fire dragon support that surprisingly have little support. Gonna post Melodious support later that fixes most of their problems.

In the latest news, Konami has a new animation studio to create their own original animated works now. There's a trailer promo showcasing the potential of what they can do. It's unknown if there's going to be individual anime based on the archetypes as nothing's been revealed for now. https://yt.drgnz.club/watch?v=LSs4mBRy7nk

>>1152 Holy shit that six sam animation looks good. I have wanted something like this since 5th fucking grade holy shit.

Thanks to these 2 new cards, dinosaurs now have two ways to (almost) completely lock the opponent out of using spell cards, or if you don't want to use a floodgate you can also just set lost world directly from the deck. They also give budget builds like mine access to shorter combos that still end in UCT and at least one negate (evolzar lars in this case), and to cards like baronne and gigantozowler without having to spend $100 on a ground xeno playset. Watch the videos attached to see how the new combos work, it's nothing like the old scrap combo, but it's much, much shorter and has a similar payoff while having essentially no chokepoint besides miscellaneosaurus banishing itself in the GY, the secret village line also has the benefit of summoning a pankratops for absolutely free by destroying gigantozowler with UCT, and if dharc gets destroyed he adds an oviraptor to hand. Lastly there's this other combo which makes use of both the scrap and naturia packages, is longer and ends in... another kind of all-negate board. I wouldn't say it's better than the old one, seeing as baronne is single use (apollousa gets two negates even with lost world active), but if both her and cross sheep survive the turn it has this cool interaction where you can shuffle her back to the ED, summon horned saurus from the GY and then summon scrap raptor off cross sheep's effect to synchro into baronne again (or summon borrelsword/accesscode). If you don't need borreload savage OR you don't want to run 3 scrap raptor you can do a few things with cross sheep and those 2 extra bodies, like summon apollousa, dolkka, laggia or abyss dweller, you can also summon frostosaurus off the second petit to summon gigantozowler. Horned saurus isn't just a level 6 that sets a field spell from the deck by the way, his other effect gives you another normal summon, which will be more useful once a worthwhile link-2/link-3 comes out (you can technically summon BLS soldier of chaos with this combo, but it specifically requires you to both run 3 scrap raptor and open 1 of them every single time, and BLS isn't quite a "towers" type of monster like avramaxx is) or little knight gets cheaper (she only needs 2 monsters, unlike masquerena which specifies non-links). It's a decent "no fun allowed" endboard, but it has even more chokepoints than regular dino scrap, so you're just asking for the opponent to ash/impermanence your shit. Not posting a deck profile this time, i haven't taken the deck to locals yet, so i'm still not sure if dharc and gigantozowler are taking gallant and naturia's spots. Giant rex has definitely been replaced however, even if you don't run polymerization he does the exact same thing ie summon itself when banished.

Generic Card type support incoming. Fungi's a Thunder's card in all but name, Pendulum's Diabellestar support that's somewhat serviceable but nothing too noteworthy, DPA Jeanne d'moore's got viability in Mathmech and is pretty good overall for any cyberse archetype that can tech synchros, Phoboscobos is a generic negate for illusions if nothing else, and the last card's a gimick that could serve as an option for Rikka and sunvine but it's a link -5 but that's about it so far.

With the new gimmick puppet support coming next year, i won't be buying any more cards for it, the way it plays now is radically different from before. It's actually a great deck now, either it FTK's you right away or nearly kills you then waits for you to special summon something big to finish burning you to death, this is not only incredibly consistent, but also very safe due to all the protection it gets from the field and terror baby. And your opponent can't even break your board with generic stuff, it has to be either spells, evenly (and you can run regulus for that, the gimmick puppet lock is for the extra deck only), or XYZ monsters. >you opened the field or terraforming Congrats, you can FTK safely. If you get handtrapped (only possible with droll, veiler and imperm) you can go for the double dark strings or dark strings+disaster leo instead. >you opened soldiers You're vulnerable to ash, but if you manage to get terror baby in the GY you can still pull off the FTK safely. And you run 3 bisque doll, 3 condolence puppet and 1 foolish burial exactly for that. Even if kevin jewart rarity bumps or shortprints the fuck out of the support, you bet your ass i will be playing it, i'm literally the only guy at my lgs who even knew the deck existed until the new support got announced, and now everyone rushed to buy playsets in anticipation (bisque doll, condolence puppet and chimera doll were the top 3 most sold cards in both tcgplayer and cardmarket for a while), luckily i had everything already, but i missed my chance to foil it out. Forgive me for rambling, but this is a dream come true, whoever made the support overtuned the hell out of it because it's insanely good and fits the user (IV) like a glove. -Gimmick puppet was (and is) incredibly xenophobic, now you no longer want even the generic machine, rank 8 or XYZ stuff. -It relied on opening any combination of bisque/humpty/dreary/machine dupe/gearspring spirit, now it has 6 one card starters (bloody doll, soldiers, mansion, condolence puppet, terraforming, foolish burial). -The deck was all about going second, breaking boards and swinging for game with 5k+ beatsticks, if that wasn't enough you still had regulus and zeus to survive another turn. Now it burns you to death no matter what. -In the anime IV was a sadistic man who charmed people into lowering their guards so he could torture their monsters, he eventually redeemed himself and this lead to some of the most goated duels in all of ZEXAL, but his goal always remained the same, giving their opponent a show (which he called fanservice). The field references this by looking like a normal mansion, dreary doll even reaches out to you with a smile, but if you enter it you get fanserviced to death. -The new XYZ monsters are literally IV, wild hair and all, fantasix depicts his iconic pose and recycles argent chaos force (a card his brother made and that he indeed recycled twice), fanatix can summon monsters (from either GY) to the opponent's field so he can torture them just like he did in the anime with baby face and giant grinder. And their stats reference his name (1500 ATK/DEF and 3100 DEF/ATK, I and V and 3+1, get it?) -The new trap depicts his 2v1 duel. -Disaster leo's massive 4k burn got nerfed in the card game, but his alternate win condition (end the turn when your opponent has 2000 LP or less to win) is now not only possible, but the second best way to win if you get handtrapped. I genuinely can't believe this is real, it wouldn't be the first time i wake up, turn on my computer and find out one of my favorite archetypes got new support, only to wake up for real and find out it was all a dream it has happened many, many times before, the most recent being 2 months ago with nemleria, the dream falls apart the moment i try to actually read the cards to gauge how good the support is.

I can't believe this thread is deader than the one in cuckchan's /tg/. Did your decks survive the banlist? My dinosaurs didn't, right now i'm coping with 1 less petit, max copies of archosaur, raptor and lost world, and almiraj over linkuriboh, but the deck just feels brickier, i might have to shelve it until we get a ground xeno reprint. Banning baronne and borreload savage shortly after making them affordable was a complete dick move however, i understand that no generic negates means a higher chance to actually break a board with a board breaker, but if they were going to do something so drastic they should have gone nuclear and banned apollousa as well, snake-eyes wasn't even running synchro shit anymore and linkuriboh's loss just meant one less interaction, they can still send their pooplar to grave with anima. Not sure what i should play now, probably shaddoll? I've already got my invoked stuff, the dogmatika cards i'm missing (ecclesia and nadir) are much cheaper now, so it'd just be a matter of grabbing those and maybe a millennium eyes restrict.

>>1185 >Not sure what i should play now, probably shaddoll? What's your strategy? >spoiler Anon this board has had less than 1200 posts in a few years, I'm not sure what you were expecting.

Any wrong ruling that’s been poisoning your mind for years? For me at first I thought monster revived/summoned by Tour Guide/Motivating Captain/Debris Dragon can use their eff again in gy. Then for years somehow I thought they are still negated. Only this week after watching MD replies that I questioned it. Probably in past I look up for something related to https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Wicked_Rebirth where monster revived by it can use their eff again even when they left field. Or maybe I conflate it with effect that got Veilered but move zone?

what do you mean Hugin isn't a tuner?

>>1186 I was going to play a standard shaddoll invoked dogmatika deck (with 3 super poly and targets for it), but it's incredibly slow these days so i thought about finally building the zombie synchro deck i've always wanted to try irl, guess which archetype (series?) got support last week? And it's really good too, instead of fusing garura with ghost fusion i just fuse the new card and get an extra normal summon instead of a draw, which is better because my build relies on 2-card combos (ze amin alone is full combo technically, but i don't want to normal it, which is why i run emergency teleport at 3). I really should have bought it when it was cheap. I'm eyeing a chimera deck now, i can get a basic core for $30-ish (everything but the fusion that handrips, see pic related) and i'll just buy proxies for everything else, i could just proxy the entire deck but funnily enough making a quality proxy of a sub-$5 card is more expensive than buying a legit one. If guardian chimera ends up being cheap enough i'll buy the reprint instead. I'm not the best at deck building but i've been testing this out for quite a bit and it's pretty solid, i'm not used to 1 card combos so it's weird seeing my coatl/mirror get handtrapped and still have ways to get to a full board. The deck is so consistent i don't need draw power at all, so i replaced the 3 prosperity i run in pretty much every deck with 3 nibiru since very few decks can get out a monster/omni negate before the 5th summon. Once we get the INFO cards i'll be able to link off any two monsters into the illusion link to have a special summon negate (azurune) on the opponent's turn on top of floodgating them with barrier statue. The illusion xyz is also amazing (quick effect targeted negate+monster steal if it battles) but getting two level 4's on the field is ironically pretty hard to do in this deck. I'm honestly liking it so much i want to build it in master duel as well, i have a shitty labrynth deck i've used only like 5 times ready to dismantle, 3k gems i had 8k but i spent 5k in the horus pack for absolutely no reason, none of my decks benefit from it, good thing i got something like 16 URs out of it and 300+ UR dust, if i finish both events i can scrounge up another 2k so i'll spend those 5k in the chimera pack and craft the rest.

>>898 >doesn't include the browser based sim OP is always a fucking faggot holy shit.

Does anyone play Dlink? If so anyone figured how yo use the new Light and Darkness dragonlord there?

This is probably getting gateway banned for good or many of the sixsam cards errata'd to be HOPT. Was it the board owner who liked this archetype or was it another dude?

>>1199 Former BO here. I fucking love six sam and these cards are making me very happy. Just having more synchro monsters outside of Shi en is already great but all this searching is also good. One of them is just a re print of shi en but that is fine. I really hope gateway doesn't get banned. Please konami let me have fun.

>>1200 Isn't that card a bit too slow for the current game at the moment?

>>1201 I wouldn't know. I am not a very competitive player. It is currently limited though which I think is perfectly fine.
