to the fullest.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a Deck tuned to work with the &#8220;Subterror&#8221;s (also EARTH monsters) who have face-down Defense Position related effects, and &#8220;Dark Calling&#8221; which brings out &#8220;Evil HERO&#8221; cards.<\/p>\n<p>Make a note of &#8220;Subterror Succession&#8221; (used to add &#8220;Kongrade, Prime Primate of Konglomerates&#8221; to the hand) is a Trap Card, when your opponent activates an effect that send a monster from the hand or Deck to the GY, chain &#8220;Subterror Succession&#8221; to add &#8220;Kongrade, Prime Primate of Konglomerates&#8221;, then Special Summon that &#8220;Kongrade, Prime Primate of Konglomerates&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>If only your &#8220;Kongrade, Prime Primate of Konglomerates&#8221; is targeted by an opponent&#8217;s effect or as the target of an attack, you can use the effect of &#8220;Suberror Nemesis Defender&#8221; to change the target.<\/p>\n<p>Since &#8220;Kongrade, Prime Primate of Konglomerates&#8221; has 3000 ATK, it will ensure whatever you Fusion Summon for &#8220;Evil HERO Dark Gaia&#8221; will have a ton of ATK.<\/p>\n<p>Also, since &#8220;Subterror Behemoth Stalagmo&#8221; is a Rock monster and &#8220;Subterror Behemoth Speleogeist&#8221; is a Fiend monster, the resulting Fusion Summon will be especially strong.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, use the 3rd effect of &#8220;Borrelguard Dragon&#8221; to switch a face-down Defense Position to face-up Defense Position.<\/p>\n<p>A monster destroyed by the second effect of &#8220;Kongrade, Prime Primate of Konglomerates&#8221;
