Easy to Build Dino Deck To Start Being Competitive

Overview

Hello, duelist! This article will be focused on how to get an easy to build competitive deck and start climbing the ranking ladder. Here you will find where to get the cards and how they work. No Super Rare or Ultra Rare card from boxes are needed so anyone can build it.

How to start

Often players asks what cards should they aim to get in order to be competitive against strong meta decks. While the card boxes have a wide variety of good cards, by just spending some gems you can create this deck and then you can improve it with legendary duelist drops, card trader cards and level up reward cards.

The main character that we are going to use for this deck is Rex Raptor and his skill Dinosaur Kingdom and to get that skill you just need to be level 4 with him. We also need 3x Sonic Duck from the box Wonders of the Sky, these are Rare cards so it won’t be hard to get them and they’ll be also useful if you make a Harpie Deck.

If you already have 3x monster cards with 1700+ attack, then there is no need to get the Sonic Duck cards if you don’t want to spend gems.

We first need to be in stage 30 to be able to farm level 40 legendary duelist, because in that level they drop better rewards including gems, skills and cards, so that means that we can get the cards that we need faster.

Also while leveling up in stages and unlocking characters, we need some character reward cards that you must focus to get in order to build this deck, so try to use Mai Valentine to get her to level 25 and get the reward card Windstorm of Etaqua that it’s a great trap card that fits in any deck. We also need the level 5 reward card Polymerization and level 25 reward card Heart of the Underdog from Joey.

Don’t forget to use as much trap cards you can or ask for help to a friend in friend duels to use 300 trap cards to unlock Odion, so you can get his level 21 reward card Curse of Anubis. Last but not least, when you defeat 50 legendary duelists, Bandit Keith will appear in the Duel World and we need his level 25 reward card Metalmorph, that can be also obtained by farming level 30/40 Joey Wheeler but it has a very low drop rate.

Decklist

Dino Drops

If you are currently in stage 30, you can start farming Rex Raptor to get the core cards that we need to build the deck.

These cards are not Super Rare and can be obtained dueling against level 30 Rex Raptor but I suggest you to duel against level 40 Rex Raptor to get them faster and also earn some extra cards/gems in the way. Here is the list of the cards that we need from him:

3 x Crawling Dragon #2

3 x Two-Headed King Rex

1 x Bracchio-raidus

Easy way to farm him is with a Cerberus deck with Sorcery Conduit level 20 Yugi skill, you can use 1 or 2 Mythical Beast Cerberus monster card in your deck, 1 Riryoku spell card, 1 Stop Defense spell card and 17 to 16 spell cards to boost Mythical Beast Cerberus attack.

Basically if you don’t start with Cerb in your initial hand, the enemy must deal 1,800 damage to you in order to use the Sorcery Conduit skill and draw the Cerberus monster card. When you put him in the field use all the spells that you have to boost your monster damage and wait until you don’t have any more cards in your deck to use Stop Defense and deal the final attack to earn at least 6000+ points for 6 rewards after the duel.

Card Trader Cards

Now that we have the core set from Rex, we need some trader cards to improve our deck.

These cards can be traded for gold and stones that we earn while leveling up, events prizes and duels rewards. Here is the list of the cards that we need with its price in gold and stones.

Card Name Gold Cost Jewel Cost Total Gold Total Stones 1 x Riryoku 100,000 x 30 Spell Stones

x 3 RU Jewels 100,000 x 30 Spell

x 3 UR 3 x Thunder Dragon 30,000 x 15 Light Stones

x 3 SR Jewels 90,000 x 45 Light Stones

x 9 SR Jewels 1 x Polymerization 30,000 x 15 Spell Stones

x 3 SR Jewels 30,000 x 15 Spell Stones

x 3 SR Jewel 1 x Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon 30,000 x 15 Light Stones

x 3 SR Jewels 30,000 x 15 Light Stones

x 3 SR Jewels Total Gold 250,000

Want to Improve your Dino Deck?

You can greatly improve this and any deck with some legendary duelist card drops like Enemy Controller that it’s a versatile spell card to defend your monster cards or to control an opponent’s monster. Also you can try to farm Joey Wheeler to get another Metalmorph that will help to boost your monsters attack.
