How to use

Diamond Dude

Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude's effect is unique, it allows you to activate Normal Spell cards without cost by having them go through a different process. The first part of his effect is picking up the top card of your deck and checking whether it is a Normal Spell card, the skill Aroma Strategy will is a good match to this effect so that you will not accidentally send any useful cards to the bottom of your deck. Use Deep Diver to draw Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude early in the duel.

Normal Spell cards

Since Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude practically allows you to activate Normal Spell cards without cost or condition, you can go as crazy as you want with your choice of spells.

Unused spells

When using this deck, you will most likely fill your hand with useless spell cards that should have been used with Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude's effect while in your deck. Use effects that require you to discard to make use of them.

  • Tribute to The Doomed discards a card from your hand to destroy a monster on the field.
  • Eliminating the League discards a spell card from your hand to destroy a monster on your opponent's side of the field. This also gives you a chance to look at your opponent's hand and send to graveyard all cards with the same name as the one you destroyed.

This really might be the new meta. Lol. Basically, your first hand will determine if you win. But it seems really really easy to start off with a bad hand.

Maybe using balance or restart with minimal monsters could help out a lot

It's not that easy. Opponent always have one turn to kick dude butt if the player isn't lucky with trap protection

I've actually ran across it a few times in Platinum. Took me by surprise when my opponent used Des Croaking to wipe my side of the field without the frogs. lol

diamond dude turbo has existed for a decade. this build is inconsistent, but the core strategy created one of the most powerful first turn kills ever created. we just don't have as many cards to abuse with it, but i'm sure as more draw cards make their way into the game this will definitely improve in consistency.

the only question now is :
can horus lvl 8 negate the effect of a spell card activated in the graveyard ?!!!

No, only the effect of spell card is activated and not the card itself.

What about using the following draw 3 cards for Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude:

Legacy of a HERO
Moray of Greed
The Beginning of the End
Gladiator Beast's Respite

If not mistaken, Mooray and Respite effect returning monster to deck is not a cost, hence Diamond Dude cannot skip that effect.
Guess Who!
What is the drop rate for this card im farming this asshole two freaking months and nothing...Stupid konami. :-)

Back when I was farming him, it took me a little over a month to get the three Diamond Dudes from Aster. Then he gave me extra ones when I was trying for other stuff. I would give you one if I could.

A version I like is a version that also focuses on Water Dragon, but runs 3x Hydrogeddon (good card) and 2x Oxygeddon (decent enough) so Water Dragon can spam the field when it dies.

To make clear: the idea is still to use Bonding H2O's effect through Diamond Dude, NOT on its own. Hydro and Oxy aren't there to satisfy Bonding's requirements, they're there to spam the field with through Water Dragon's effect.

Anyone try this with Dark Magician Knight and Knights title? Same endgame but with -200 atk, but it pops something in summon

you realize this type of deck is literally a decade old right? diamond dude turbo was popular way back in the day and eventually became a first turn 🔥 deck before they banned dmoc and dimension fusion. you can't call someone out for stealing a deck when the deck has existed longer than duel links has.

That's definitely the deck to play....AFTER you KOG'd :D
