Evol

"Evol" (エヴォル Evoru) is a series of three FIRE-Attribute sub-archetypes: the Reptile-Type "Evoltile", the Dinosaur-Type "Evolsaur", and the Dragon-Type "Evolzar". "Evoltile" monsters Special Summon "Evolsaur" monsters, which gain a variety of effects when Special Summoned in this way, and "Evolzar" monsters which are Xyz Summoned by using Dinosaur-Type monsters as Xyz Materials.

"Evol" is a toolbox series, similar to "Gladiator Beast", in that "Evol" monsters gain their effects when they are Special Summoned by other "Evol" monsters.

The archetype name, "Evol", is derived from "evol"ution, and appropriately enough, this archetype is supported by "Evolution" cards, a series of Spell and Trap Cards.

They are based on evolution from Reptiles to Dinosaurs to Dragons. This is referenced in some cards, such as "Ultra Evolution Pill". All members have a tail with a visible DNA strand inside it, referencing their "evolving" nature.

Recommended cards
Because "Evol" consists of three main archetypes and toolbox type it is good to use a searcher in the deck ("Fossil Dig"). Summon "Evoltile Odonto" and use its effect to Special Summon "Evolsaur Vulcano". If you have another "Evolsaur" monster in your Graveyard, Special Summon it and Xyz Summon "Evolzar Laggia," while "Evoltile Odonto" can be used as tribute for "Offering to the Snake Deity". You can use "Foolish Burial" to get "Evolsaur" monsters into your Graveyard. "Evoltile Gephyro" can give you an easy "Evolzar Laggia" by Special Summoning "Evolsaur Vulcano" back to the field although at the cost of some Life Points. "Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter" can be a good milling card along with "Card Trooper" but they can also hurt the deck strategies. "Worm Warlord" can hold off attacks while you prepare to Xyz Summon. Use cards like "Hand Destruction" to dump specific Evols into the graveyard to set up for combos with "Evolsaur Vulcano", "Evolutionary Bridge", and "Evoltile Gephyro".
