CDP: Dogmatika Branded; the Corrupted Virtuous

Has the Anti-Extra Deck Religion fallen from grace?

Replays:

Strategic Summary:

Today’s Creative Deck Profile features the return of the Ritual Dogmatika strategy to my channel, this time empowered by an expanded Virtuous engine as well as a few neat new tech cards. Over the Albaz lore journey, the Dogmatika theme evolved from strictly being anti-Extra Deck monsters to incorporating those of their own to fight the good fight. For example, as Despian Luluwalilith and Granguignol the Dusk Dragon was added to the Branded arsenal, the Dogmatika took notice and aligned them to their cause. With the final addition of Guiding Quem, the Virtuous, this archetype is finally ready to take over the duel and put the opponent in their place, once and for all. All that’s because of one powerful Ritual Monster, Dogmatika Alba Zoa. This Level 12 Ritual boasts 4000 ATK and an effect that wipes half of your opponent’s Extra Deck. Sure, they may get to choose what is sent to the GY, but combine that with the effects of Dogmatika Maximus, Dogmatikamacabre, and Dogmatikamatrix, and your opponent will just woefully watch their toolbox disappear. What makes this combination even more potent is my new key tech card, Knightmare Corruptor Iblee, as Iblee can be used for the Link Summon of Salamangreat Almiraj to fully lock out the opponent from Special Summoning anymore. This is especially true once all of their Link Monsters have been sent to the GY.

Now that isn’t the only control element this new build brings. I’ve also incorporated Secret Village of the Spellcasters, because if locking out Special Summoning wasn’t enough, locking out Spell Cards is a great secondary control mechanism. And if all that wasn’t enough, with so many high-leveled Spellcasters at your disposal, Dark Magician of Chaos can bring along Chaos Scepter Blast to spot remove any singular threat the opponent attempts to board. Unleash the punishment of the Dogmatikalamity Rituals upon all of your opponents!
