Notes & Combos

Zoodiac with a bunch of engines. I went on an 8 games win streak with it to hit DLV20 and then 5 games win streak in Stage 2.

It has a very favorable match-up against Flunder and does well into SwSo and Pranks, it's a going first list due to the power of adventure engine, but it does well going second with 5 "equalizers" in the deck list.

Your normal end-board is Drident/Gryphon Rider, but sometimes you can highroll Drident/Gryphon Rider/DPE or low-roll either Drident or DPE. Regardless, you always end on something, the deck is very consistent.

You can turbo out DPE if you have a target to destroy with Drident effect. Normal Zoodiac monster -> Drident -> pop Tenki/Dradoback -> Chakanine, bring back the monster you sent to the GY -> Verte DPE. Only do it when you have Gryphon Rider on board, but even then it's probably better to just end on Drident + Gryphon Rider, because it's the same amount of interruptions, it is as an option if your opponents has no negates in hand.

You can experiment with more board-breakers instead of handtraps, including backrow hate against Eldlich which is fairly popular in the format.
