Dino Survival's End: deck recipe [Mar 2021]

One of the key cards of this deck. The introduction of the Xyz mechanic makes Survival's End a lot more versatile. Specifically in it's swarm effect which you can use to put Xyz materials onboard.

The first effect of Survival's End lets you destroy all Normal monsters on the field which is particularly effective against decks with lots of Normal monsters like Blue-Eyes. However to make Survival's End effective even against decks that use no Normal monsters, you will need to destroy your own Normal monsters. This is where Tokens and the Paleozoic Traps become helpful. They are treated as Normal monsters on the field so you can destroy them with Survival's End to special summon Dinosaurs from your deck.

The second effect allows you to destroy a Dinosaur monster you control along with any card on your opponent's field. This is good disruption effect and gives Survival's End additional utility while in the graveyard.

Aside from Survival's End, Miscellaneousaurus is another card that distinguishes this deck from other common beater decks. Keep it in your hand for the powerful first effect, essentially making your Dinosaurs immune to enemy effects for the entire Main Phase. Do this before you summon anything to protect from Floodgate Trap Hole.

The graveyard effect can let you summon one of your beaters if you have 4 Dinos in the graveyard. If not, you can opt to summon Babycerasaurus instead and then destroy it with Survival's End. Ideally you should use Giant Rex as banishing cost so it revives itself.

Inherently a good beater, plus an ability to become even stronger when revived. You should banish Giant Rex as cost when using Miscallaneousaurus' graveyard effect. Additionally, the self recursion effect makes Giant Rex great as Xyz material.

Used as a beater, even though its stats are below average. However, it's effect makes it worth running for quick removal. This lets you get rid of walls such as Invoked Cocytus and Wind-Up Zenmaines without spending resources. You can also just crash Hammerhead into a boss monster to get rid of it, but taking a ton of damage in exchange.

Babycerasaurus is the best target for the destruction effect of Survival's End because he allows you to search a monster from your deck upon effect destruction.
You can special summon Babycerasaurus with the first effect of Survival's End. And then destroy the Babyceracaurus you summoned, along with your opponent's card, with the second effect of Survival's End to trigger Babycerasaurus' search effect.

This deck has a ton of effects that activate from the graveyard making the Lightsworn Engine a good fit for setup.

Unlike other Lightsworn monsters, Raiden lets you mill during the Main Phase so you can immediately use your setup. Additionally, Raiden is a Tuner supplementing the Synchro Version of this Deck.

Instant graveyard setup and searches a Lightsworn monster. Early game it's best to search Raiden for further setup. If you have Raiden in the graveyard, you can opt to search Lumina and summon her to make a level-7 Synchro.

With the graveyard setup from the Lightsworn engine, you can tech in a single copy of Block Dragon for instant field presence. Block Dragon should ideally banish Giant Rex, triggering the inherent revival effect and swarming your field in one move. The multiple banishing also helps powerup Tyranno Infinity.

Sadly you won't be able to make use of the search effect since majority of your monsters are Dinosaurs.

Paleozoic Traps can special summon themselves as Normal monsters when you activate a Trap. This lets you summon them when Survival's End is activated. Since their summoning occurs first, they will be destroyed by the effect of Survival's End letting you summon more Dinosaur monsters from your deck.

Additionally, Paleozoics also have their own good effects when used as Trap cards on the field. Paleozoic Canadia is good for defense and stopping your opponent's monster effects by flipping them face-down.

Paleozoic Marrella can mill any Trap from your deck. Mill out a Paleozoic monster to setup before you activate Survival's End. Or you can mill Survival's End to immediately get access to it's second effect.

When Paleozoics are special summoned by their own effects, they are banished when they leave the field. Survival's End also banishes itself from your graveyard when you use its second effect.
Another thing to take note about Paleozoics are that they are immune to monster effects while treated as monsters.

These are the monsters you will use to deal damage while your other cards are for control. They are simple to use with high attack stats and can be special summoned from your deck by Survival's End. You can also search them out with Fossil Dig.

When pushing for damage, you can destroy Megalosmasher X and Sabersaurus with Survival's End to special summon more beaters from your deck. You can do this even during the battle phase.

Between Miscellaneousaurus, Carboneddon, and Block Dragon, this deck has a good amount of self banishing to turn Tyranno Infinity into an extremely powerful beater you can casually Normal Summon.

Most of your Synchro monsters are generic level-7s and 8s to be made with Raiden.

Scrap Dragon has decent stats and provides 1-for-1 removal. The 1-for-1 removal can be extra favorable to you if you destroy Babycerasaurus.

Summon Black Rose Dragon to get rid of your opponent's entire board setup. Lumina reviving Raiden is a quick way to make level-7 Synchros, ideal for how you will use Black Rose Dragon.

Make Coral Dragon with Raiden plus Babycerasaurus. Coral Dragon is a good generic Synchro monster to make because of its decent stats and simple removal effect. Additionally, the draw effect when Coral Dragon is sent to the graveyard lets you replenish some resources.

Onimaru is summoned by using Block Dragon and Raiden as material. In this case Onimaru does not get its 3000 ATK buff, but its still useful as a 3000 ATK beater immune to destruction effects.

Decent stats and an effect preventing enemies from responding during battle makes Samurai Destroyer a great beater. It also negates the effects of monsters it battles, removing inherent buffs and stops floating.

Since you can only use Utopia Ray's effect when down to your last 1000 LP, he is best used to clutch the game. The ATK manipulation can help you get rid of a powerful enemy monster and deal massive damage. Keep in mind this effect can be activated multiple times per turn as long as you have the materials.

Utopia is the strongest Rank-4 beater that requires only 2 materials. It also comes with a battle protection effect which can be helpful when on the defensive. Despite this, you'll usually want to reserve Utopia for summoning Utopia Ray.

Abyss Dweller is an anti-Graveyard interaction tech, intended to hinder Decks that activate a ton of effects from the graveyard such as Noble Knights. This only affects the opponent's graveyard so you're still free to use your effects like Miscellaneousaurus and Canadia.

It's best to activate this at the start of the opponent's turn, so make sure to toggle Chain to "ON" and activate Abyss Dweller's effect during the opponent's Draw Phase.

Malevolent Sin is an anti-Xyz tech. Summon Malevolent Sin and use its effect to temporarily banish an enemy Xyz monster. The Xyz monster will return with no materials attached to it.

Kachi Kochi Dragon is used for its double attack effect, but the relatively low ATK makes him a bit situational. A scenario where this would be useful is when Kachi Kochi attacks a monster put face-down by Canadia, then you use its second attack to hit directly.

Diamond Dire Wolf gets rid of itself along with any enemy card. Use this as on-demand removal against a problematic card, or secure your attacks by getting rid of enemy backrow.

Samurai is used to push damage after you mostly cleared the field. It's relatively low ATK stat means it won't be destroying anything by battle. But its double attack effect allow it to inflict massive damage when attacking directly.

You can also give Cowboy the double attack effect to maximize Cowboy's attack position effect.

Carboneddon is used because of his second effect, allowing you to Special Summon a Normal Dragon from the deck on-demand. With this you can Special Summon Justicia for a quick Synchro Summon.
