Evolve Reptiles into Dragons, pausing at Dinosaurs along the way.
Replays:
Strategic Summary:
Welcome to another FIRE profile, this time centered around supporting the Evol theme with generic Dinosaur support options. The Evol theme is all about using Reptile Evoltile monsters to summon Dinosaur Evolsaur monsters, triggering their effects, then making Evolzar Xyz monsters. While this theme has never stood the test of time as a pure variant, its boss monsters have seen play in quite a few meta strategies over the years. But let’s focus on the Evols at the start – Evoltile Megachirella opens the plays by discarding a card to tribute a Reptile (itself) before summoning an Evolsaur from the deck. Should you summon Evolsaur Vulcano with another Evolsaur in GY, Vulcano will let you summon that Dinosaur back, giving you the two materials for a summon. While this combo seems pretty tame for modern Yugioh, it’s the power of the Evolzars, Evolzar Laggia offering Summon and S/T negation and Evolzar Dolkka offering monster eff negation, that makes it worth it. Oh, and the Trap card Evo-Singularity, that lets you cheat another Evolzar straight from the Extra Deck.
For the other aspect of today’s strategy, we have the typical Dinosaur engine. Fueled by generic options such as Souleating Oviraptor and Animadorned Archosaur, Dinosaurs offer a ton of consistency and that is before even mentioning Fossil Dig! Combined with the one copy of Miscellaneousaurus allowed to be run in the TCG, these monsters offer insane access to bosses through Double Evolution Pill. For the pill, you need to banish a Dinosaur and a non-Dinosaur from your hand/GY, then you get a free Level 7+ Dinosaur straight from the deck. Talk about turning trash into treasure. Take Ultimate Conductor Tyranno, a game-ender in its own right, or Overtex Qoatlus for even more negation. Since the Evols already have non-Dino monsters, this is perfect for the pill, but I’m also running a small Danger! engine to round out the build. Check out evolution at its finest with the Dangerous Evolzars!
