Forum:Diamond Dude Beastdown

This deck aims to use the effect of Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude to activate spell cards without paying their costs or actually having to use a card in hand. Sounds pretty boring, right? WRONG! That's because this deck uses Diamond Dude to get out huge monsters without cost!

Those who have been to Vehicroidrage's talk page may have already seen this deck - in fact, he sort of gave me the idea with a rulings query about whether you'd need to tribute two Hydrogeddons and one Oxygeddon for Bonding - H2O if you activated it with Diamond Dude. The answer is no, you don't. And that's basically the deck - using Diamond Dude to flip normal spells that summon huge monsters off the top of the deck. I call it a beastdown as opposed to Aggro, or Beatdown, because it uses larger monsters than either of those two.

Here's the normal spells that can be used to summon monsters, and the monsters that are summoned by those spells:


 * Bonding - H2O - Water Dragon
 * HERO Flash!! - Elemental Hero Neos
 * Release Restraint - Gearfried the Swordmaster
 * Spell Gear - Ancient Gear Golem

There weren't any other monsters/normal spells I could think of to fit the bill. Anyways, besides that, I've got Diamond Dude in threes, with Summoner Monk and Stratos to search it out. Plaguespreader has a fairly well known combo with Diamond Dude. Then, there's the other huge monsters of the deck that aren't summoned by normal spells; Berserk Dragon and A Deal With Dark Ruler are at the top of the list. They go in because of the large amount of huge monsters in the deck. Meanwhile, Dragonic Knight counters Gyzarus and DAD. Dasher and Plasma are both useful - Dasher can become a huge monster and get me a huge monster. Plasma, in addition to its effects, is level 8, Dark, and a Destiny Hero. That's important for the next set of cards;

The spell cards! I've explained the summoning spells, so now for the draw spells. There's Magical Mallet, Trade In, Allure of Darkness, Destiny Draw, and Lighten the Load - between them almost a quarter of the deck. Because this deck has so many cards, they are essential. Besides that, I've got A Feather of the Phoenix to stack the deck for Diamond Dude. Divine Sword - Phoenix Blade comes in because of Gearfried primarily, and also to support the large amount of Warriors in the deck.

Finally, there's traps. Blast With Chain works with Gearfried and any other monster in the deck. Solemn Judgment negates stuff. Transmigration allows me to re-use big monsters. Finally, D - Shield protects Diamond Dude.

Tell me what you think of this concept deck. Runer5h 13:44, 16 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h
