cp-ur 930 + cp-sr 570
40 cards

Notes & Combos

Standard 2-card combo:

  • Misc/Baby, Baby/Ovi, Ovi/Misc and Archo/Baby all make the standard 2-card combo.
  • Ends in Archo + Ovi + Giant Rex + Baby

Nibiru-proofed combo:

  • From the standard 2-card Dino combo, make sure baby is under the EMZ.
  • Make Linkuriboh, then Reprodocus using Giant Rex
  • Pill for UCT, revive Giant Rex from banish
  • Make Dolkka with Rex & Ovi
  • Change baby to Winged Beast and make Simorgh/end turn Avian
  • End Board = UCT + Simorgh + Apex Avian + Dolkka

Alternate plays:

  • can trade Giant Rex in the standard combo for Therizia, to make Elf + Dolkka + UCT + set Frenzy. It generally feels weaker to me but if you lose Giant Rex for whatever reason, you can make this.

Greedy plays:

  • if you drew Giant Rex, or double Baby Misc (3 card combo) to search Giant Rex, you can summon Therizia from the standard combo to set a Frenzy.
  • bait with Gamma. If successful you get a free 2 counter Borreload Savage Dragon (you have to make Simorgh before Dolkka, breaking Nibiru-proofing)

Matchup tips going 1st:

  • Branded: ED can't out Rexterm, except hard-drawing Super Poly. Wait for normal summon Aluber to avoid Albaz-Poly. Rexterm can't nuke it in time.
  • Swordsoul: ED can't out Rexterm, but beware of Vishuda from hand.
  • Floodgate Runick: Summon Laggia if you suspect Runick (if they lack hand trap responses) but Dolkka works too. No real counter to this deck unfortunately. Save your negates/hand traps for Flashing Fire/Freezing Curses/Fountain.
  • Spright: as soon as they normal summon 1 monster, UCT flip. This usually locks Sprights from summoning more from hand. Or summon Rexterm and nuke to 1000LP ASAP (stops Elf/Gigantic Effects).
  • Mathmech: flip em face down after Circular or sit on 2000LP with Rexterm. Let them set Superfactorial, it doesn't do anything cos you bring back Apex Avian to counter it.

Match tips going 2nd:

  • Runick: pray you hard drew Imperm+HFD
  • Everything else: pray for Misc. You can do (almost) anything if you have Misc

Variations:

  • More Ash/Maxx C over Ghost girl + Gamma package. Ash/Maxx C was getting CBTG/Crossed Out all the time so I experimented with other hand traps.
  • Add Overtex when Runick matchups become frequent. 2 spell negates tends to stop them easily.
  • Can drop the Dinomorphia package for more hand traps/Droplets/board wipes/Small World/whatever you like
  • I removed Accesscode Talker cos I ran out of room. People scoop by the time I Unicorn anyway... you're welcome to add it back lol
