How to use

Diamond Dude

Destiny HERO - 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

Ojama Delta Hurricane!!

Des Croaking

Bonding - H2O

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.

Cards like Ojama Delta Hurricane!! and Des Croaking are really powerful but are unusable because of near impossible activation conditions. But with Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude's effect you can use them to wipe out your opponent's board easily.
No one would really use Bonding - H2O in most situations because it is usually a 3 to 4 card combo just to summon 1 Water Dragon, which makes it not worth the effort. But with Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude's effect you can Special summon Water Dragon from your deck for free.

Unused spells

Tribute to the Doomed

Eliminating the League

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.

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.

For any hero deck to work we need stratos(At least 1) and reinforcements of the army. too inconsistent otherwise tbh.

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

AsceBlaze

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

spellbook organization can be used as well before activating diamond dude effect

HellFire

Better run it with Restart Skill also some crystal seers won't hurt instead of Deep diver which is slow and take a turn that may give your opponent advantage.

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.
