Notes & Combos

I posted Adventurer Zoodiacs back when that engine was released, but I'd figure I'll try Zoodiacs in the event that wants you to Xyz Summon a bunch for gems.

Because this is a pure list running Pot of Desires, 11 Zoodiac names to prevent desires from banishing every single zoo in the deck helps while also great for finding starters consistently. It's not uncommon to open 2-3 Zoo names because of this, so the other cards need to do a lot of heavy lifting, which is why the list opted for more boardbreakers than handtraps.

Maxx "C", Ash Blossom, Called by, and Crossout's main purpose is to not lose to enemy Maxx "C", since you need to put in more value than Drident pass when going 2nd as Zoo.

Kaijus are the main outs to Towers and pretty good vs Exosister and Draco Future.

Pankratops is just a good going 2nd card in an unsolved format, and a good backup monster to have in case your Zoo doesn't stick.

1 Nibiru mostly as a Crossout target, but it does come up from time to time.

1 HFD / 2 LS for backrow clear. Labyrinth died in popular real quick with the emergency ban of Flying "C", although it's not the worst matchup for the deck.

Pot of Avarice for replaying your limited monsters when you lose your initial board can be game-winning, but obviously not a card you want to see in your opening hand if you can help it.

Monster Reborn as one of the best cards to help push through removal in the event a Zoodiac monster hits the GY.

Was too lazy to figure out any 2+ Level 4 Xyz monsters worth running when the lines to get that working take so much resources, so I opted to bump up some Zoo ratios and Drill Driver instead.
