Dinomorphia 1st Place Deck Profile (In-Depth) February 2024

[@SacredCards.]

As if you got first place! Let's go!!! I always look forward to your dinomorphia profiles 👍 also i love the use of tyranno in this deck. I never could find a way to make it work without fossil dig and oviraptor.

[@puzzledwhale2376]

Thanks for the comment, brother ! UTC is good. I actually just had a DB game where it booked all their FK monsters and sent them to the graveyard and since they weren't destroyed the guy was pissed xD. It's a good flex spot for sure!

[@SacredCards.]

@@puzzledwhale2376 it inspired me to adjust my list to include 1 misc and 1 UTC. Our lists are pretty close at the core. I am testing with Iron thunder instead of strike. How do you feel about that card?

[@mr.toaster4503]

​@@SacredCards.The only reason I'd still run strike it stops ash

[@SacredCards.]

@@mr.toaster4503 ahh very good! So what about play both? I'm trying to work it into my list right now but space is tight as I run the supreme king package as well. Don't know if I want to play 2-3 copies of soul

[@ReliousFlareStar]

This list is really solid. I probably need to cave and start running pots

[@laurent4118]

Would side the judgement & main evenly because losing the dice roll hurts

[@Jokers_Yugioh666]

2 questions 1st thoughts on dinonorphoa shell i like the card 2nd thoughts on rivarly on the side?

[@MrJoeGames]

So even if you don't have no dinomorphia monsters as long as you activate Frenzy you can chain Intact?!?!

[@MasterNeptor]

yes. It works with all of Dinomorphia traps

[@reganl8366]

The main problem with Strike is that it becomes dead when you’re life gets too low so you need to fire it as soon as possible. Probably best at 2 so you don’t draw it late game, but definitely should be played. One thing i would change about this build is putting in End punisher. You can make it with ash and rex and once you have it, you just win.

[@Tium99]

You need to buy brave eyes pendulum dragon because it negates 0 atk monsters ANYWHERE. So it negates handtraps, magician souls (when it was relevant) anima, all that fun stuff.

[@heavenmattia]

Yeah, but it conflicts with rexterm

[@Tium99]

@@heavenmattia how? Rexterm has 3000 atk

[@heavenmattia]

@@Tium99 by changing the opponent’s monster atk to 0, would rexterm’s effect be useless?

[@Tium99]

@heavenmattia brave eyes doesnt get the on summon effect. Its only special summoned not fusion summoned. The only 2 effects it has is negate 0 atk monsters and the if it doesnt destroy a monster by battle you can banish it

[@heavenmattia]

@@Tium99 oh yeah, you are completely right. I was referring to the effect it gets when fusion summoned. Great stuff if brave eyes doesn’t activate it on board

[@jayspencer4033]

I know 2 diplos is in every list but it really kills our grind I don’t think it’s correct because of this

[@kylesolana1578]

In my master duel deck I made a deck with 1 archisaur 1 double evo 1 uct Then another with I xeno dino 1 xeno spell and the normal lvl 6 dino (chengying and lars) lars was good But so far my favorite variant is the lab/supreme king/morphia

[@kylesolana1578]

The xeno version was the worst one the double Omni with lars was amazing but triggering the xeno card would be a problem sometimes and end up being a huge brick

[@RobinsAssistant]

Taking this list to locals today, wish me luck

[@markwhitfield4396]

How'd it go?

[@RobinsAssistant]

@@markwhitfield4396 deck is super good but I'm just a bozo but I'm learning!!!

[@abbousmile]

What if you no longer have Therezia and Diplos in your deck?.. then the fusion cards are no longer of any use

[@TsutajyaVlard]

Im trying to get into the deck and idk about solemn strike how often it gies dead cause of the cost but i will try it out

[@TheyCallMeGarby]

What’s your thoughts on super poly and transaction rollback? You can use it for other negates right?

[@TheyCallMeGarby]

Disregard superpoly but I’m still interested in your rollback opinion

[@Tobari-ygo]

Hi whale! Thanks always for your profiles, it is my favorite deck also! I'm thinking to play it at my next ots. What do you think about wannabee, lord of heavenly prison and for the extra deck brave eyes and pep? It is worth it? I can't manage to play at 40, but i want it to not brick

[@pyroplays6790]

Appreciate the effort ! Wanted to play yugi again and it will either boil down to Floo or Dinomorphia. May I ask what your Prosperity targets are and which cards you side out for the side deck cards?

[@puzzledwhale2376]

Both are solid contenders. I'm thinking in the near future about Floo that Dshifter will get banned (hopefully) so maybe the strength of the deck goes down. That's just an opinion though. But whichever you go for I think it's pretty good to get back into YGO. As for my Prosperity Targets I always do the Super Poly targets GM1 and maybe 1 of each Dino fusion. :)

[@pyroplays6790]

@@puzzledwhale2376DO you have any tips against the new Yubel Deck? I keep taking L's online because both Rexterm and Ferret Flames are useless against 0 ATK Monsters xd

[@srtboulle1200]

Great video very inspiring for my deck I would like to know if it is better to play pure dino or with punk to have access to more sync and interaction

[@puzzledwhale2376]

Hey. Thanks for the nice comment :) I love the trap version because it doesn't lose to too many things in the meta at the moment. Something like the punk is way more susceptible to droll or a HT like that while pure will never get value from that HT. But it's all player dependent. I think if you want to play the most competitive version of this deck, then the pure version is the way to go.

[@tobiasohiggins9704]

What r ur side deck patterns vs snake eye, voiceless and lab ??

[@dage2079]

Why not pot of avarice? After frenzy combo with kentregina and rex it basically refresh your dino material and you get 2 cards Also ghost mourner is overlook ,its a veiler with bonus Also i like alert but it locks you into dinos You should look into, supersoaring It revives any dino thats in gy or banished. Which can save your cards banished which happens and you can combo into evo or raiders knight unlike alert locks Lastly strike in multiple is dangerous as it cost set lp in a dino deck which why i rather use intact I know this might be strange but i side time tearing morganite ,people sleep on it cause grind games or board breaks you get 2 draws and 2 normal summons also if you play 2 you can banish one and summon and it negates opponents monsters effects. You lose handtraps but at mid duel it dont matter to use. My opinion, hope it helps anyone

[@eugeniodasbroas]

Mourne isn't a Veiler, doesn't work on normal summon, 50+% of the time you want to negate the normal Summon. Pot of avarice is good in the grind game but doesn't Start plays, you want Prosperity and Duality for you to be able to Start plays, plus those two can be good on grind game too

[@dage2079]

But you don't draw em all the time these cards are for mid game, every game you don't draw a perfect hand, and further on it adds to combo as one frenzy your burnt out material

[@allanyang21]

I find cosmic cyclone have pretty good synergy with dinomorphia. Against labyrinth is never a dead card

[@mangavore7426]

See, I genuinely prefer Iron Thunder to Strike usually. I agree that Strike is more versatile, but because it requires a specific cost, it very quickly becomes a dead card to draw into, unlike Thunder. Thunder is also a mind game card, which I like. Sure, it can pop your cards…but that’s part of the mind game. Once your opponent knows you play Thunder, they’re going to do a lot to play around it. Which can lead to suboptimal plays. It may not be the choice in this format because destroying cards isn’t good but…overall, I prefer it. Also very much a Trap Track stand, especially if you’re running the Supreme King package. Half those cards are just dead bodies on your field, but having the versatility to set ferret flames after you’ve resolved all your lp drain cards is insane, combined with potential floats.

[@puzzledwhale2376]

Fair. I built my deck around the fact that I want to stop ash and grave effects. Solemn strike does just that. Plus, it's an easy side out games 2-3 though I only ever side 1 out. Destruction from Iron thunder seems so bad in this deck and has lost me quite a bit of test games that I shouldn't have lost. I just will never think that card is good in this deck where your main goal is "protect the castle" or it potentially popping another ST of yours. As for track. Yes, I know and I have gone back and forth between the 2 but I have found trap trick to be better since I can activate it whenever.

[@jvdach4652]

You can become a real asshole with this combo: Shifter in your 1st turn. Set Supreme King Trap and Trap Tracks. Opponent Draws, Standby Phase you use Supreme King. Then use Trap Track and destroy Z-Arc. Z-Arc goes to Pendulum Zone. Set Trickstar Rejuvenation with Trap tracks and use it before he can set a card. Entire Hand Banished, full redraw. Z-arc destroys any non draw phase drawn card. 2nd Full Hand rip and thx to shifter also banned.😂

[@tobiasohiggins9704]

Imo iron thunder is worth playing in the deck but only at 1 copy. I remember picking up Dinomorphia and one of my main issues of the decklists id seen at the time was that playing 3 judgement felt too hard go first. I always felt going second it was just not a card I wanted to draw. I recognised you need judgment to insulate rex but it hinders you going second so much. Also it made siding difficult because going second I'd need enough cards in the side deck to side out the load of traps that were bad going second. I came to the conclusion that maining 2 judgement was correct to have a strong go first and second but i stuck with 3 in the main because theres no room to side the third copy as antispell takes priority in the side as a go first card because it plays around s poly. Iron thunder fixes this issue because you can cut 1 judgment for the iron thunder. Ir is basically strike going second so it's way better than judgment. This also means it doesn't need to be sided out going second. The main issue with ir is that when you go first and set it your opponent can play around it but using their most powerful cards in rexs column so you can't negate. But when you play 1 copy it has a similar effect as playing 1 called by as no one plays around it because its just a one of. With it being a 1 of ur likely to see it 1in 3 games so say you draw ir in game 1 and ur opp plays cards in rexs column in games 2 and 3 u most like wouldn't have drawn iron thunder in those games. It also allows for mind games with imperm as if u used ir in a previous game u can set imperm in the rex column so u can negate power spells/traps. If u have other cards in mind u want to cut u could still play 3 judgement,and 1 ir. Imo, the way I look at ir, judgement and strike is completely different. Strike in my eyes is an extender as it helps you resolve your engine cards thru ash but its also very strong going second. Judgement is a defensive card to protect rex when going first. Going second its really bad. Iron thunder is a defensive card going first to protect rex but its worse than judgment when you opp plays around it. but going second, it's just as good if not better than strike at breaking boards.

[@tobiasohiggins9704]

Looking at ur build, I'd cuf uct and 1 ferret flame for iron thunder and an extra souls of the supreme king

[@paytonmclean6442]

Ive been having a hard time against yuble and vanquish soul with Dinomorphia, any tips for those matchups?

[@puzzledwhale2376]

Hmmm. Vanquish soul seems pretty okay. By the time you get Rexterm out you should be at 2k LP which makes their stuff not that good. As for Yubel, I haven't played enough against it to really know the match up.

[@paytonmclean6442]

@puzzledwhale2376 yubel having 0 attack , dealing burn and battle damage makes it feel unwinnable for me, her not being able to be destroyed and forcing you to attck her is just the icing on the cake. Vs might just be a match-up skill difference for me tbh.

[@justinmannon1929]

Run Skill drain, 3k vanilla beater beats 0 atk vanilla.

[@puzzledwhale2376]

@@justinmannon1929 This is very counter intuitive. I do understand why you would run it, but that would mean that if your opponent has a 3k beater or higher, you're done for since you don't run battle traps.

[@justinmannon1929]

@puzzledwhale2376 I was saying to run it against yubel, since they will not be running monsters with 3k atk, mostly everyone is 0 attack. Skill drain could be a side option for matchups such as this or Mikanko.

[@abhiabg8496]

Do you think its worth it to include a dogmatika engine in dinomorphia?

I don't see it working at all, to be honest.

[@MrVergil9000]

Interesting builld. I'm personally taking a 43 card build with mind drain to locals and will test out iron thunder. I've been having lots of success in the locals i've been playing. Are you in the dinomorphia discord? thats how i learned a lot about this deck when i picked this strategy up.

[@puzzledwhale2376]

Yo. Mind drain is a good card, but I prefer it in the side if I even opted to run it. Good luck at locals ^^ I am not part of the discord.

[@MrVergil9000]

@@puzzledwhale2376that makes sense. Mind drain has been testing well for me online. we'll see how it fairs IRL

[@notsniper9993]

How do u deal with super poly? literally the only time i ever lose is when my opponent resolves 2 super polys in a game

[@tobiasohiggins9704]

The best ways to do it is to side or main antispell and rivalry/gozen. U can also play around it with domain. If u open domain and frenzy, used domain into kentra and kentra into rex. This way you only have 1 monster so they can't poly u. But if they do using ur rex and their dark monster u can then use ur frenzy to summon another rex

[@Light-ps5yf]

can u do a guide?

[@rashawunjones3281]

Shifter is busted in our deck

[@arieljulio4969]

I enjoy this list. Side deck its the most important of any deck and this side deck its the best i have seen on a while. I would play not duality but +2 Fossil dig and archosaurus + evolutión pill + little knight Why ? To open with Rex on field and use clog dinosaur on hand (diplos) as food for archosaurus (on that case you can make little knight with archosaurus+theriza)

[@puzzledwhale2376]

Thanks for the kinds words :)

[@peterdurn1332]

Not personally a fan of strike as can be dead draw late game. Lot of niche decks at my local so hard to get a good balance (yubel, runick stun, hero, traptrick etc)

[@puzzledwhale2376]

Yeah, it can for sure be a dead draw in the late game, but it does so much in going 2nd and breaking boards and helps you fight against graveyard effect decks. But for those types of decks at your locals, you need to find your own techs unfortunately hahaha
