BEETROOPER - Ten Minute Testing

​​​​​​​​​@@coolboyyo654 Or at least I'd like to see a jerry beans man fusion monster that uses jerry beans man+jerry beans man. I'd probably make it like this Jerry beans man ultimate 3200 attack/2000 defense This monster can not be destroyed by your opponents card effects. When this monster is fusion summoned; send all cards your opponent controls to the graveyard. (Quick effect:) You can banish all cards in your hand; double this cards attack until the end of the turn. If this card is sent to the graveyard; special summon any number of jerry beans man from your hand, deck, or graveyard. You can only use each effect of "Jerry beans man ultimate" once per turn.

Really happy to "bee" a part of this, Joseph simply was too small brain to learn the deck in 2 days so of course I, as the Master of the Swarm, the Paleo Man turned Insect Enthusiast, had to come in and click buttons at literally 4-5 AM my time (I am not joking). Im happy with how it went and glad to be in this community.

[@Kd7x462]

Ok now looking at it, maybe should have made a take going second, this deck is also pretty decent at boardbreaking, you can usually just extend through negation granted it isnt of course Drytron, most people dont read the last part of Gokipole and just let it through and lose a monster.

it's interesting that cocoon of ultra evolution which in theory is one of the best extenders for Insects and benefits in terms of extending such where you can special summon any insect from deck isn't actually used in Bee Troopers

[@Hella_Animations]

It's too convoluted to use, i tried and it didn't jell with the deck

[@mr.thomaswaffles6700]

They don't equip enough to use it effectively

[@Kd7x462]

Yeah its hot garbage, you are only ever equipping with Pico and have no other ways to do it, its just bricky and most of the time just dead or could have been another extender.

[@LazurBeemz]

I might consider siding it in when going second - you never want to equip Parasite to your OWN monsters, you'll be slapping that on an opponent's monster and then using Cocoon to tribute it away and summon Insect Queen. Of course, is that better than simply playing hand traps? no, probably not.

[@Rairiky]

That's the thing this deck doesn't really care that much about specific starters or extenders, although if insektors end up being the optimal build it will be an option

[@aetherlift9076]

my favorite beetrooper/insect spam deck ive come up with skips the beetrooper link 4 entirely to make the insect lock only temporary, so you can make cicada king + seraphim papillon, and then uses resonance insect to send fusion parasite to graveyard, which both papillon and cicada can revive during the enemy turn to make monsters like invoked raidjin and millennium eyes restrict (since fusion parasite isnt once per turn). with that build, you can make stuff like apollousa if you end up with enough materials on field after that, since you're not insect locked once you get the bees off the field. i even have an extra spicy version that uses fusion parasite to make red eyes dark dragoon...

[@Kd7x462]

You know it

[@doubl2480]

This deck looks cool. I have a few questions though. -What's so optimal about Kuwagata ? The lower the ATK, the more you can destroy by effect, so wouldn't something like Killer Needle or the OG Gokibore be better ? -Same question for Gadarla over Kumongous. Is it only because it can be summoned through the wind Barrier Statue ? -I guess the mothman can be swapped for Aztekipede if you want to guarantee the extend ? -Is there a better choice between ending on Papilion + countertrap or ending on Cicada King (+ Sting) ? -Since your only Xyz is Cicada King... is the Zeus really useful ? Maybe you can remove it and consider things like Halqifibrax (helps going into Papilion when you're not insect locked yet), Azuza+Hama (another help to OTK), or Gossip Shadow to have an alternative play if you feel a Nibiru coming. In any case that was very interesting to watch, thanks to the guy who actually built and played the deck (not MBT) !

[@Kd7x462]

-Firstly, it can attack over a 2 mat Apo which is how I justify it, in reality I do actually like the higher atk, can come up. -Spot on. Its like playing around Mekk-Knights, why not just do it of you can. -The thing about Aztek is that it doesn't start combo. A bad hand needs 3 Insects on field so you can make 2 into Pico and attach Resonance to the third 1, Aztek can't do this because it requires an Insect in grave already. -There is not unfortunately, 1 more extra body in the end board doesn't do anything as we see in the Guru replay, it just sits there without a use. The best best case hands can end on both Cicada and Papi but those only happen once in a Blue Moon. -I like the Zeus mostly just because stealing an Xyz with TTT and then overlaying Zeus is hilarious, but it can come up, I just like the option. You already OTK trivially so Hama is not needed, now thinking about it Halq isn't too bad, makes only smol Sting opens into Papi which is pretty good, and you literally cannot make Gossip, all your level 3 extenders Insect lock you.

[@doubl2480]

@@Kd7x462 Thanks for the answer ! If having a higher ATK is better for the normal monster, added to playing through the wind statue barrier, then I guess Kuwagata makes sense. Also I didn't think about stealing a Xyz with TTT, even though that's... really situational xD The only moment you can make a non-insect is by normal summoning a level 3 and special summoning Scale Bomber, but you're not doing anything more... so I suppose you'd rather try to play as usual and admit the deck's weakness to the big rock. Maybe you can still manage to turn the token into a Papilion with a bit of luck ?
