Notes & Combos

Deck Composition

Deck Size: 60 cards

• 1-Card Combos: 9 (Mistva ×3, Extra-Foolish ×3, Ryu-Ge Rising ×3)
• 1.5-Card Combos: 3 (Melody ×3)
• 2-Card Starters: 12 (Ovi ×3, Misc ×3, Fossil Dig ×3, Archosaur ×1, War Zone ×2)
• 2-Card Enablers: 5 (Baby ×3, Petit ×2)
• Hand Traps: 12 (Ash ×3, Maxx C ×1, Fuwalos ×3, Purulia ×2, Droll x2, Imperm ×1)

Combo Rate Probability (P):

• P (Any Combo 1CC/1.5CC/2CC combined): 81.5%
• P (1-Card Combo): 57.0%
• P (1CC or 1.5CC): 68.6%
• P (2CC): 64.9%
• Brick Rate (No Combo Possible): 18.5%

Tech Choices

Jurrac Megalo in the main deck and Jurrac Astero + Meteor in extra deck, to setup a board wipe. You can also send Jurrac Astero with Extra-Foolish Burial.

Why 60 over <55 cards?

The 60-card build trades solo starter access for better brick card dilution (less double Hakva/Emva in your hand) and access to tech cards like Pankratops and Ryu-Ge End. I managed to get a 9 win streak in Diamond with this deck.

Flex Spots

• Main Deck: Any of the handtraps depending on the meta
• Extra Deck: Baronne, Tornado Dragon, 2nd Varudras

Strengths and Weaknesses

• Primary Weakness: Drolls hurts the deck as it heavily relies on searching. A good play into an early Droll is to end on Astero in the GY through Misc or Extra-Foolish Burial, to setup a board wipe.

• Pros & Consistency: Offers a higher end-board ceiling compared to Pure Dino. Anva's negation and destruction effects are great for turn 2 plays.

• Handtrap Resilience: Capable of baiting interaction (mainly Impulse and Ash Blossom) before committing to the main Dino engine. Unlike Pure Dino, a well-timed Ash on Misc does not end your turn. The deck can also play reasonably well into Maxx C and the Mulcharmies, often relying on the continuous spells as interruptions via Mistva in exchange for the opponent drawing 2 to 3 cards.
