The latest box Rampage of the Forest is focused on Plant and Insect monsters. One of these Insect monsters, Metamorphosed Insect Queen, is actually a monster that was released not so long ago in the OCG/TCG, giving us the impression that Konami is making new cards while having Duel Links in mind (because cards like Metamorphosed Insect Queen have no impact on the meta in the TCG/OCG).This Guide will focus on Metamorphosed Insect Queen.

Insect Uprising You can use the skill when you control 3 or more Insect-type monsters. Decreases the ATK of face-up attack position monsters your opponent controls by 800. You can only use the skill once per turn. | Weevil Underwood |
Metamorphosed Insect Queen | EARTH Insect ★7 ATK 2800 / DEF 2400 |
Rampage of the Forest [UR] | |
Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned by a card effect. If another Insect monster is on the field, your opponent cannot target Insect monsters you control with card effects, also they cannot be destroyed by your opponent's card effects. At the end of the Damage Step, if this card attacked: You can Tribute 1 monster; this card can attack an opponent's monster again in a row. Once per turn, during the End Phase: You can Special Summon 1 "Insect Monster Token" (Insect/EARTH/Level 1/ATK 100/DEF 100). |
The Boss monster from the deck, which you’ll either summon with the effect of Cocoon of Ultra Evolution.
Something a lot of people don’t seem to understand about this card is that it can only make a second attack if there is another monster on the field, you cannot destroy a monster and then tribute a monster on your side of the field to make a direct attack.
If you control Insect Queen and one other Insect monster (for example one of her tokens), your opponent can’t target your insects with card effects or destroy them with card effects, this is a very strong effect so you’ll want to always have at least one insect monster by her side, which shouldn’t be too hard because she can summon an insect token during every end phase (this means also during your opponent’s end phase).
Inzektor Dragonfly | DARK Insect ★3 ATK 1000 / DEF 1800 |
Darkness Gimmick [UR] | |
Once per turn: You can equip 1 "Inzektor" monster from your hand or Graveyard to this card. If an Equip Card(s) is sent to your Graveyard while equipped to this card (except during the Damage Step): You can Special Summon 1 "Inzektor" monster from your Deck, except "Inzektor Dragonfly". While this card is equipped to a monster, that monster's Level is increased by 3. |
Inzektor Dragonfly can allows you get out another "Inzektor" like Inzektor Centipede from your Deck when you sent "Inzektor Hornet" that is equipped to this card to the graveyard to activate its effect for card destruction. Then you can use Dragonfly and Centipede to get Rank 3 Xyz Monsters.
Inzektor Hornet | DARK Insect ★3 ATK 500 / DEF 200 |
Aerial Assault [UR] | |
Once per turn: You can equip 1 "Inzektor" monster from your hand or Graveyard to this card. While this card is equipped to a monster, that monster's Level is increased by 3, also it gains ATK and DEF equal to this card's ATK and DEF. While this card is equipped to a monster: You can send this Equip Card to the Graveyard to target 1 card on the field; destroy that target. |
Inzektor Hornet, another powerful strategy in this Deck. Hornet can increase the equipped monster's Level by 3 and boost its ATK with 500 and DEF with 200. In addition to that, by sending it to the Graveyard while equipped, you can destroy 1 card on the field which good in used to clear your opponent's backrow or monster that cannot be destroyed by battle.
Inzektor Centipede | DARK Insect ★3 ATK 1600 / DEF 1200 |
Empire of Scarlet [UR] | |

While this card is equipped to a monster, that monster's Level is increased by 3. |
One of the main core of this Deck. It's first effect is common share with other Inzektor Monsters which can equip an "Inzektor" monster to it once per turn. Centipende's second effect will allows you to search your Deck for an "Inzektor" monster and add it to your hand.
Inzektor Giga-Mantis | DARK Insect ★6 ATK 2400 / DEF 0 |
Empire of Scarlet [SR] | |

If this card is sent to the Graveyard while equipped to a monster: You can target 1 "Inzektor" monster in your Graveyard except "Inzektor Giga-Mantis"; Special Summon that target. This effect of "Inzektor Giga-Mantis" can only be used once per turn. |
A Level 6 "Inzektor" monster that you can equip from your hand to an "Inzektor" monster you control and makes that equipped monster becomes Level 6 and its original ATK becomes 2400. You can Special Summon another "Inzektor" monster from your Graveyard when Giga-Mantis is sent to the Graveyard as an equipped card.
Cocoon of Ultra Evolution | Quick Spell |
Rampage of the Forest [SR] | |
Tribute 1 Insect monster from either field equipped with an Equip Card, and if you do, Special Summon 1 Insect monster from your Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions. During your Main Phase: You can banish this card from your GY, then target 1 Insect monster in your GY; shuffle it into the Deck, then draw 1 card. You can only use this effect of "Cocoon of Ultra Evolution" once per turn. |
Thanks to the Inzektor Monsters' common effect which can equipped themselves to each other as an equip card, you can use Cocoon of Ultra Evolution more easier to special summon Metamorphosed Insect Queen or other "Inzektors".
Cocoon of Ultra Evolution can then be banished from your graveyard to return an Insect monster from your graveyard to deck and draw a card. You can use this to return Perfectly Metamorphosed Insect Queen or "Inzektor" back to deck, if you want to special summon him with another Cocoon of Ultra Evolution.

M7 provides non-destruction removal which also doesn't send the target to the graveyard, bypassing most floating. Monsters that do not end up in the graveyard are also harder to recycle, especially if it was an Extra Deck monster.
You can also select a monster in your own graveyard and recover it.

Photons of Galaxy [SR] | |

2 Level 3 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; all face-up monsters you currently control gain 300 ATK. |
Giga-Brilliant's slight ATK boost to all your monsters can be qutie significant since most of your monsters have low base ATK. This boost is permanent so in total you're getting a permanent 600 ATK to all your monsters as long as they stay on the field. You can detach 2 materials from this card and Xyz Summon Digital Bug Corebage too.
Digital Bug Rhinosebus | LIGHT Insect ★7 ATK 2600 / DEF 2200 |

Digital Bug Corebage | LIGHT Insect ★5 ATK 2200 / DEF 1800 |
Infinite Ray [R] | |
2 or more Level 5 LIGHT Insect-Type monsters You can also Xyz Summon this card by detaching 2 Xyz Materials from a Rank 3 or 4 Insect-Type Xyz Monster you control, then using that Xyz Monster as the Xyz Material. (Xyz Materials attached to that monster also become Xyz Materials on this card.) Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 Defense Position monster your opponent controls; shuffle it into the Deck. Once per turn, if the battle position of a monster(s) on the field is changed (except during the Damage Step): You can attach 1 Insect-Type monster from your Graveyard to this card as Xyz Material. |
Shuffling into the Deck is a very powerful form of removal and Corebage's effect is great at getting rid of defensive walls. It also works well against Decks that always puts their monsters in defense position such as Superheavy Samurai and Subterror.
