“All of this exists because of me. If I don’t innovate, somebody else will.”
A new artwork has been teased for the TCG version of Burst Protocol, with the caption “In February 2026’s Burst Protocol, just because you could…”
The card itself has not been named.
As a reminder, the newest World Premiere theme was already teased with the following description:
It’s also that time again for a brand-new World Premiere theme! The scientists have been deep in the lab messing around with things that are probably better off left alone. What’s that? Scientists with dinosaurs? Okay, well, surely nothing can go wrong with their experiments…right…right?

dinomorphia?
Looks like magical scientist just more buff and different hairstyle.
little known fact, magical scientist looked like this back in the day
Where did the years go..
Fusion or Synchro.
If its a Magical Scientist reference, it might be Fysions
Where’s the new Koa’ki Meiru support?
Why would there be Koa’ki Meiru in an World Premire archetype?
Not here, because this is a world premiere archetype post. Still, it’d be nice to get Koa’ki Meiru support. Something better than the slap in the face that is Supplier (hate this card)
no one knows
Looks like the priest from Hellsing
Cool observation
I’m getting a odd sense of fusion support from this artwork for some reason, and I don’t know why?
it looks like he’s carrying a Jar
All these design elements together seem typical at first, but then you notice the transparent apron he’s wearing and just go “What were they cooking?”.
100% dinosaur/fiend
I’m wondering how they’ll make it work. Prob gonna be a gimmick deck (i hope it’ll be a mimighoul and not an asshened)
Looks like it’s referencing the *Jurassic World* storyline with the whole DNA-splicing thing. I’d guess it’s a fusion playstyle — mixing dinosaurs with other types. I can also see the archetype having some kind of type-changing mechanic.
Spyral?
Thats the guy from the trap card where a computer blows up in his face
Imma say Vendread
Doctor Gigachad, professor of Dinosaur wrestling (actually a legit thing in YGO since V-Rains)
He’s making dinosaurs just to have a better source of protein
Boss monster is gonna be that guy half human half dino
Jurassic Park reference?
I’m so down for genetically engineered dinosaur-man archtype. I hope they look horrifying and not dinosaur waifu or something.
And they’re not going to reveal anything until last week of January.
pop a baby to free fusion a dino :V
This guy alone makes me want to play this archetype.
Looks like Hobsons distant cousin. Maybe this expands magical scientists lore a bit. Could be a diffrent department of the facility.
Who let Father Anderson revive dinosaurs
This artwork is from 2020 judging by the signature on the bottom?
No dinos artworks = slop
Looks like King Leonidas from Record of Ragnarok
Please tell me this is Magical Scientist in his youth.
