Strategic Summary:

Jinzo has received many attempts at legacy support over the years, but frankly, most of those attempts have missed the mark. However, this all changes with the newest batch of support, designed to link Jinzo cards to clairvoyance with an homage to Esper Roba’s ESP. Also, since The Menacing Jinzo (YGOrg Translation) can be easily summoned from the hand while a Trap card is on the field or in a GY, this build today actually employs a Trap engine of its own! Psycho Bounder (YGOrg Translation) provides the consistency, searching for any Jinzo Spell/Trap support card, and Law of the Cosmos (YGOrg Translation) provides the other half of the consistency engine, letting your opponent choose whether to give you a free Jinzo to the field or a Jinzo support monster to the hand. In addition to all this Jinzo support, today’s build features a World Legacy engine centered around Mekk-Knight Orcust Girsu, facilitating Xyz summons! All things considered, it’s time for the Android Shocker to reign supreme over the backrow once more!

Note: This is continuing the style of Creative Deck Profile articles, designed to showcase a build through replays rather than through a long article. If you wish to see a CDP for an archetype, theme, or strategy you love, feel free to private message me on the YGOrg Discord server, the comments section of any of my YouTube videos, or just post a comment in response to this article on our Facebook page with your ideas to keep under consideration! On most YGO-related communities my username is Quincymccoy, so feel free to reach out.

As of now, I have a couple of outstanding requests that I am looking into: Cardian, Digital Bug, Witchcrafter, Fossil, Superheavy Samurai, & Simorgh.
