Triamid: deck recipe [July 14]

The general strategy of Triamid Decks is to cycle through their Field Spells and monsters to activate multiple effects. All the monsters have effects that let you replace your current Triamid Field Spell with another one from your deck. The Field Spells in-turn are able to search, retrieve, and Special Summon Triamid monsters.

The Triamid deck's boss monster. Its inherent summoning condition is easily fulfilled by crashing a Triamid monster or by waiting until your opponent destroys one of your cards. You can also Special Summon Sphinx with Kingolem's effect.

On the field Sphinx is essentially a really big beater. Maximizing his inherent stat boost is easy with Triamid's Field Spell cycling, putting Sphinx at 4000 ATK. With ATK boosts from Kingolem and dancer, Sphinx can reach even higher amounts.

Sphinx' last effect practically prevents your opponent from declaring battle, because attacking over it is very unlikely. Their only choice would be to use a removal effect to get rid of Sphinx.

Triamid monsters let you cycle your Triamid Field Spells during your opponent's turn. You can use this to bring out Triamid Kingolem during battle to gain an attack boost. This also lets you trigger the effects of Triamid Field Spells when they are sent to the graveyard.

Triamid Master sets up your aggressive plays by destroying the opponent's set cards, usually this will be used to get rid of enemy backrow. Also, by using your Triamid Fields as cost for any of Master's effects, he will be able to trigger the Field Spells' effect.

Triamid Hunter lets you swarm the field with Triamid monsters for more damage potential. Hunter can be used as the cost for Master's first effect in case you don't want to get rid of your Field Spell.

Triamid Dancer recovers Triamid cards back to your deck while giving your monsters a permanent stat boost. Because her base ATK is so low, she is extremely vulnerable during the opponent's turn, so you can use Dancer for Master's cost after using her stat boost effect.

Here is a sample combo you can do assuming Master and a Field Spell is already present on the field:

1. Normal Summon Hunter.
2. Hunter's effect gives you a second Normal Summon for Dancer.
3. Activate Dancer's to boost your monsters' stats.
4. Activate Master's effect using Dancer as cost.

Triamid Field Spells' primary effects are most useful at different phases of the duel after that they will be switched out by another Triamid Field Spell.

Triamid Cruiser and Triamid Fortress' secondary effects allow you to gain resources when they are sent to the graveyard. Triamid Kingolem lets you Special Summon a Triamid monster from your hand for more field presence. Because Sphinx is such a formidable presence on the field, you should always aim to search/summon him.

Triamid Cruiser is good during your Main Phase to dig through your deck. You can use this effect when your opponent declares an attack to search for Sphinx, which will then be special summoned if your monster is destroyed.

Triamid Kingolem is good during your Battle Phase and for most of the Duel, because of its attack boost and Spell/Trap protection during battle.

When a battle is occurring, and the field spell activates, it is the best time to activate cards that can destroy your opponent's back row or monster like Treacherous Trap Hole or Mystical Space Typhoon. This is so that they won't be able to activate effects that can happen when they are destroyed because of the field spell.

Triamid Fortress is brought out to protect your monsters from effect destruction. This is a good compliment to Sphinx who is almost impossible to kill by battle. The field spell's recovery effect is also a good way to pick Sphinx back to your hand if it was ever destroyed.

Keep in mind your Triamid monsters have quick effects that can activate Fortress from the deck. So the destruction protection can be used in response to your opponent's removal effect.

Skull King has 2800 ATK stat with Twice Attack and Piercing Battle Damage dealing effect. His second effect is similar effect to Monster Reborn's effect which can allows you special summon 1 of your opponent's monsters from their graveyard during your opponent's monster.

Big Boss monster has 3500 ATK stat with similar to Shield & Sword's effect which can switch ATK/DEF of your opponent's monsters when it battles against them. Skullgios also has piercing effect with double battle damage dealing effect.

Skull Knight can make a second attack in row when he destroys your opponent's monster by battle. His graveyard effect will allows you to remove monster by banishing himself.

A Level 6 Fossil Fusion monster that has double attacks and max. 800 damage dealing when it destroyed an opponent's monster by battle. Similar to Skull Knight's effect but backrow removal by banishing itself from your Graveyard.

Skullgar can acts a good beater with 2500 ATK stats and deals piercing battle damage when it attacks a Defense Position monster. You can banish this card to search out "Fossil Fusion" from your Deck for another Fusion Summoning.

Fossil Version of Invocation which you can banish monsters from your field and/or either player’s Graveyard as fusion material which can deals with Burning Abyss. The Fusion monsters will have target immunization if it is fusion summoned by banished from both players' Graveyards.

You can recycle this card from your hand if your Face-Up "Fossil" monster is being destroyed by battle or card effect.

Triamid Pulse is a good compliment to all the cycling Triamid Decks do. Triamid cards you do not retrieve with Triamid Dancer you can banish to activate one of Triamid Pulse's powerful effects. The first effect is a removal for face-up cards Triamid Master cannot target. The second effect is a revival. The third effect recovers your Triamid Field Spells and lets you gain resources.

Getting rid of two enemy monsters for no cost is extremely good. And since the Traps in this Deck tend to stay on the field, you'll usually be able to activate Treacherous Trap Hole.

Summon Nightmare Shark and use it to attack directly for 2000 damage. Do this if said attack will win you the game.

Leviair has synergy with Triamid Pulse's activation cost. With this you can bring back banished Triamid monsters for field presence. Bring back Triamid Hunter and Normal Summon another monster to make a second Rank-3.

After spending all its Xyz materials, upgrade Corebage into Gaia Dragon to get a stronger beater on board.

Destroy itself and 1 card your opponent controls. If you already have 2 monsters on the field because of the Gadget's floating effect, you can make a Dire Wolf and destroy an opponent's spell/trap before you normal summon to have a more safer and uninterrupted play.

Its effects are actually very powerful. At times, it is worth summoning this to make sure that you can stop an opponent's plays, or get rid of a certain monster, even if it means that you lose 2 Triamid monster's field spell cycling effects.

Ideally summoned when you have at least another Triamid to help protect Gorgonic Guardian through any of the Triamid field spells.

If you have Triamid Kingolem as your current field spell, and your Triamid monster is attacking or being attacked, you can activate Gorgonic Guardian's effect to reduce your opponent's monster to 0 ATK. Doing it this way ensures that the effect goes through and can't be interrupted.

A pretty decent, yet, situational rank 3 XYZ to go against back row or set monsters. It won't get the attack increase benefit from Dancer, but having it can help secure some games.

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.

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.

Getting two counters on this card is quite easy even during the opponent's turn with the archetypal Quick Effect of Triamids. Do this during the opponent's Standby Phase so when their Main Phase comes they'll be locked from using monster effects. This shuts off search effects upon summon and field extension effects, which are common combo pieces.

On the other hand, you won't really be affected since you don't have any plays during the opponent's turn, except for searching out Fortress.

Banishing monsters are oftentimes better than just destroying them, unless you're going against certain decks that can take advantage of that. The cost of having to discard is not that bad since Triamids have ways to recover cards from the graveyard.
