Did anyone else misread the name and think it was referring to the cervix? …Just me? Okay then. XD
Cervical can mean either referring to the cervix, or referring to the cervical vertebrae (which are in the neck.)
Non-name requirements. They know dinos are desperate for support.
2700 ATK with generic materials and cannot be destroyed by card effects is decent on paper, but you need a non-Effect Dinosaur Fusion monster (Bracchio-Raidus so far) already in your GY to grant it additional ATK and piercing.
This card is intended to be summoned off of Ultra Evolution Miracle after you already summon Bracchio. Fortunately Dinos have ample ways to get Bracchio’s materials into the GY, and UEM is recoverable thanks to Awakened Stegoceratops, who himself is recovered by another copy of Awakened.
Alternatively, Star Restart and Supressaurus Coatlustern can get Bracchio’s materials on the field and recover Fusion. After fusing them the conventional way, and Bracchio gets sent to the GY, UEM can shuffle the materials back into the Deck to summon this.
Dyna Body Heat already does two thirds of what this Fusion can do and alternatively grants bounce and spin protection on your opponent’s turn, so this monster is somewhat redundant. However, Dyna Body Heat is only recoverable by Hoarding Platinidon, and Dynamix has 3400 MAXIMUM ATK so this card may see some use as a stronger boss.
This gives me hope we may get support for the other Triple Build Pack themes in here and potentially the SDs as well.
I feel like the ones that need extra help are Red-Eyes, Dinosaur, and Ritual Dark Magician.
Delirium is still a strong Deck, even if other Decks have already surpassed it. Rush’s Harpie is currently too strong, and I don’t think it will receive any more support.
The outlier is Rush’s Cyber Dragon, but Konami has been very cautious with that Deck (not to make its OTK strategy easier)
Well, at least Konami remembered that they still have to finish the Dinosaur Fusion part (I see they’re going down the path of Rush’s Red-Eyes and its Fusion Monsters)
Let’s hope they also remember not to force the Asana/Asaka Deck into a single deck (Fusion isn’t compatible with Maximum)

But really though, the name makes me think of Final Fantasy to be honest, as there is a monster in the World of Final Fantasy game called “Elasmos”, whom is a recolor of Syldra, Faris’s childhood friend slash ship power source from Final Fantasy 5.
This monster definitely shares the same relative body shape as Elasmos/Syldra, as both are shaped based on (I believe) the Plesiosaurus, albeit this shares more of Syldra’s color scheme than the green Elasmos.
The funniest part about this card is it deconfirms Diskarma Linac from being in this set
“Support the recent Dynamix wave”
This thing, right now, literally only work with Bracchio-raidus and nothing else lmao
