If you missed my initial profile, be sure to check that out here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XGgRfGdK7rI\"><strong>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XGgRfGdK7rI<\/strong><\/a>. Now that you&#8217;re caught up to speed on a pure build, let&#8217;s take this flexible archetype and mesh it with a bunch of other decks, and see how everything shakes out!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Build One: Tistina Volcanic <\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;ll start with the clash between Aqua and Pyro, as the Tistina theme takes on burn damage and additional destructive capabilities. The Volcanic archetype, especially following the FIRE Duelist pack, has a lot of potential, but it needs a bit more beef behind its plays to truly work out. In this build, watch as the Tistina can easily bridge to the Volcanic archetype using their newfound ability to Xyz Summon. With the help of <strong>Hound of the Tistina<\/strong> and <strong>Returned of the Tistina<\/strong> combining to make a Rank 4, this deck uses another new card from AGOV, <strong>Infernal Flame Banshee<\/strong>, to tutor any Pyro monster from your deck. With the consistency offered by the Tistina, the Volcanic theme can have its ideal pairing of <strong>Volcanic Rocket<\/strong> and <strong>Volcanic Trooper<\/strong> to set-up <strong>Blaze Accelerator Reload<\/strong> with a <strong>Volcanic Scattershot<\/strong> in hand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Build Two: Tistina Dinosaur<\/strong><br \/>\nWith inspiration from the comments section of my last Tistina profile, I embarked on enabling <strong>Ultimate Conductor Tyranno<\/strong> with the Tistina cards, as setting your opponent&#8217;s monsters face-down sure left a ripe niche for UCT to run amok. The engine being employed today is slightly more built out than it could be, as the minimum requirement is to have <strong>Souleating Oviraptor<\/strong> (and <strong>Fossil Dig<\/strong> to tutor it), as Ovi will send <strong>Overtex Qoatlus<\/strong> to the GY, tutoring <strong>Double Evolution Bill<\/strong>, and bingo bango bongo, you have yourself everything you need for UCT. In my take, I&#8217;ve also included <strong>Miscellaneousaurus<\/strong> and <strong>Animadorned Archosaur<\/strong>, as I also wanted to include <strong>Beta Evolution Pill &#8211; Ultransendance<\/strong>, as it can be used to bring out a strong floodgate option in <strong>Dinomorphia Rexterm<\/strong>, especially later in the duel. Either way, your Normal Summon goes to Dinos in this hybrid!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Build Three: Tistina Ghostrick<\/strong><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s spooky season, so let&#8217;s bring on the Ghosts! This Xyz archetype is best known for flipping up and down to Scare the opponent with FLIP effects and direct attacks, but it also makes for a decent pairing with the Tistina. Whether it is <strong>Swords of Concealing Light<\/strong>, <strong>Destructive Daruma Karma Cannon<\/strong>, or even the effect of <strong>Ghostrick Fairy<\/strong>, your Tistina will have plenty of help flipping your opponent&#8217;s monsters face-down. The benefit of the Ghostrick engine is that it offers easy access to <strong>Number F0: Utopic Future Dragon<\/strong>, by combining two <strong>Ghostrick Angel of Mischief<\/strong>, easily accessed by <strong>Ghostrick Shot<\/strong>. This combo also happens to tutor you a copy of <strong>Ghostrick or Treat<\/strong>, giving you yet another disruption going into the opponent&#8217;s turn!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Build Four: Tistina Firewall <\/strong><br \/>\nTaking inspiration from Chris Lin&#8217;s Tistina Mathmech combo theory that made the rounds before the AGOV support was even revealed, this theme takes the Tistina archetype out of the Xyz space and into the Link space. Remember, the Tistina archetype gives you no restrictions for using their effects or abusing all of their Special Summoning potential, therefore they can make for great link fodder, especially if going for a big LINK-5 summon such as <strong>Firewall Dragon Darkfluid &#8211; Neo Tempest Terahertz<\/strong>. Building out from a base Tistina core, I&#8217;ve included the option of going for either primary <strong>Mathmech Circular<\/strong> combo, whether it is the OTK with <strong>Geomathmech Final Sigma<\/strong> or the Turn One disruption offered by <strong>Primathmech Laplacian<\/strong> summoned via <strong>Mathmech Superfactorial<\/strong>, as well as a few copies of <strong>Cynet Mining<\/strong> to make both possible. However, if all else fails, you can always turn to <strong>Primathmech Alembertian<\/strong> to tutor out your copy of Circular, like I do in the replay in this video. Beyond that, it&#8217;s all Cyberse Links looking to carry you to victory with this build.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Provided Decklists:<\/h4>\n<h5>Build One: Tistina Volcanic<\/h5>\n<blockquote><p>Monsters: 25<br \/>\n| Crystal God Tistina<br \/>\n||| Demigod of the Tistina<br \/>\n| Volcanic Emperor<br \/>\n||| Volcanic Rocket<br \/>\n|| Hound of the Tistina<br \/>\n||| Sentinel of the Tistina<br \/>\n||| Volcanic Trooper<br \/>\n||| Returned of the Tistina<br \/>\n||| Volcanic Scattershot<br \/>\n|| Volcanic Rimfire<br \/>\n| Fallen of the Tistina<\/p>\n<p>Spells: 12<br \/>\n||| Bonfire<br \/>\n|| Play of the Tistina<br \/>\n||| Breath of the Tistina<br \/>\n| Blaze Accelerator<br \/>\n|| Volcanic Blaze Accelerator<br \/>\n| Divine Domain Baatistina<\/p>\n<p>Traps: 5<br \/>\n| Volcanic Emission<br \/>\n| Discordance of the Tistina<br \/>\n|| Blaze Accelerator Reload<br \/>\n| Volcanic Inferno<\/p>\n<p>Extra Deck:<br \/>\n| Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS &#8211;
