One
of the most interesting decks from the newest era of Yu-gi-oh was the Dino
Rabbit deck. Basically an assortment of cards with Rescue Rabbit and Tour Guide
of the Underworld serving as a lynchpin, the deck was very powerful in its day,
with its ability to quickly summon and utilize two of the most powerful Xyz monsters
in the game- Evolzar Laggia and Evolzar Dolkka. A first turn Rescue Rabbit
could Special Summon two level 4 Normal dinosaurs, and overlay them into a 2400
ATK monster with a Solemn Judgment effect, or a 2300 ATK monster with a Divine
Wrath effect.
The
thing is, the Evolzar monsters actually have their own archetype, one which, if
used well, can be considerably more fun to use. These are the Evolsaurs,
affectionately referred to as Digimon by some, which function as an Xyz toolbox
that can summon the Rank 4 Evolzars easily, as well as utilize their own
powerful effects.
So
what are the Evolsaurs? Well, they are a group of Dinosaur-type monsters,
supported by their Reptile-type cousins the Evoltiles. All of them are FIRE
attribute, and they have a bevy of useful support cards as a result of this.
The Evolsaurs effects are activated when they are summoned by the effect of an
Evoltile, giving them functionality similar to the Gladiator Beasts’ ‘tagging
out.’
The
key cards to an Evolsaur deck will be the spell card Evo-force, which is simply
an amazing card. By tributing one of your Evoltiles, you can Special Summon an
Evolsaur from your deck and get that monsters effect. One of the best combos
the deck can pull off is to tribute Evoltile Najasho with Evo-force- Najasho’s
effect will activate when it is tributed and summon an Evolsaur from your deck,
meaning that your Evo-force just netted you 2 monsters, who will activate their
effects and then be used for an Xyz summon. The other Evoltile that should be ran
is Evoltile Westlo, which when flipped will Special Summon an Evolsaur from
your deck. I like to bring out Evolsaur Darwino with Westlo, which nets you a
2200 ATK monster that can also then be overlayed into Number 69: Vulcasaurus or
another Rank 5 when the opportunity arises. Finally, the spell card
Evo-diversity serves as a ROTA for the deck, searching your deck for any
Evoltile or Evolsaur.
As
for which Evolsaurs to include, Cerato is a 1900 beater that can become a 2100
beater AND a searcher when it is special summoned by an Evoltile. Diplo is an
MST with a 1600 ATK body. Vulcano is a Call of the Haunted for Evolsaurs. There
are many options; I have gone with what I feel are the best cards for a Rank 4
build, but there is also a Rank 6 variant meant for summoning Evolzar Solda. It’s
up to the player to decide which monsters suit them best, but I would consider
the trio of Cerato, Diplo, and Vulcano to be staples in an Evol deck.
The
deck’s weaknesses have been well documented, but it’s worth restating here.
Evols have received a lot of support throughout various sets, but the monsters
themselves have rather average stats when compared to other archetypes. Vulcano
in particular, despite having one of the most useful effects, comes with a
paltry 1200 ATK. The Evol decks isn’t an auto-pilot deck, and it can be
difficult to use properly, but it’s also one of the most entertaining new deck
type I have come across. So, without further ado, here is my deck list.
