Notes & Combos

At the time of writing, the meta I've seen so far is a combination of Spright + (archtype), Exosisters, Lab, and a few Runic players before the Feb 28 banlist. Because of this, my climb with Dinomorphias have been very unforgiving whenever I go second due to the boards I have to play around. Nonetheless I was able to pilot the deck well enough to readjust accordingly.

(Disclaimer for my writeup, I don't really refer to the cards by some of their name but rather by their artwork so do bare this in mind when reading ahead!)

So this was the ideal goal of the end of a very good board:

• End with the lv 8 Fusion big dino man online with solemn traps set on the field
• Crystal Clear Wing Synchro Dragon online via Soul of the Supreme King's banish effect
• Epidemic Virus' effect already in play which should already reveal to you the opponent's hand (which in turn should show what deck they're playing if it wasn't revealed).

This way, you lock down either traps/spells away and monster effects due to low lp requirement via the big dino man's passive.

Of course the big con of the deck is the low life points you're usually playing with, leaving you vulnerable to Lava Golem/Swordsoul burn. Another big thing I've seen in Diamond is that opponents seemingly run a lot of Ghost Ogre and Triple Tactics Talent so be wary of when you use your big dino man's effect . If it ever comes to it, hopefully by then you'll already have a dupe already online to keep the monster effect lock.

Notes to give while running the deck:

1. Attempt getting your life points as low as 1000 to avoid meta decks like Sprights and Mathmechs from comboing forever.
2. Hold onto Epidemic Virus until you see what archtype their playing. The combo I usually do is Frenzy > dump bird and one monster > fusion Dino girl and wait. Once you find out what they're playing, activate Dino girl's effect > target Frenzy to summon big dino man > Epidemic Virus Dino girl (default spell, trap if Exosister, Lab) > dump bird and opposite monster > big dino man should be online.
3. Solemn Strike can be a dead card if your life points are sub 1500. Therefore you'd want to use it at the start of most of the combos.
4. For Soul of the Supreme King, I use it during the opponent's draw phase since spells are usually going to be played after. That way, I can eventually climb Crystal Clear Wing for spell/trap negation.

If you want to cut any card, I'd say Gozen Match since it didn't really see play for me.
