Metalmorph Dogmatika

When you are building a Dogmatika Deck, the card that you want to focus on the most is Dogmatikamatrix because it is such a powerful card for the Deck. On activation, it can get you up to 2 searches from Deck and it also can send a monster from either player’s Extra Deck to the GY. Specifically, its effect on activation searches a Dogmatika Ritual Monster or Ritual Spell from Deck, and then if your opponent controls a monster, you can search for any Dogmatika card from Deck. This is why cards like Knightmare Corrupter Iblee and Ken the Warrior Dragon and Gen the Diamond Tiger are so good in Dogmatika as they put a monster on your opponent’s side of the field while also giving you some other benefit. Iblee prevents your opponent from Special Summoning monsters aside from Link Monsters while it's on their field. On the other hand, Gen can force your opponent to discard a card if it is Special Summoned to your opponent’s field by the effect of Ken with Ken allowing you to draw 2 cards and discard 1 if it is Summoned to your opponent’s field by Gen’s effect with both of them also being very good Small World bridges in the Deck as they LIGHT Attribute. This Deck here is Metalmorph Dogmatika, and it, too, can put a monster on your opponent’s field, given that your opponent doesn’t know what you are up to. Fiend Beast Zoa can Special Summon itself from your hand free of cost, but if you do not have Enhanced Metalmorph in your GY, your opponent CAN Special Summon a monster from their hand. If they do Summon a monster off of this effect, you now have an additional search off of Dogmatikamatrix, and if that monster they Summon happens to activate its effect, your other cards like Triple Tactics Talent and Triple Tactics Thrust are now live with Thrust even being able to add to your hand instead of setting because your opponent controls a monster. Furthermore, you will have access to the new Metalzoa X through the Metalmorph cards for up to 2 additional interruptions for your opponent’s turn. But when it comes to the other new Metalmorph boss, Red-Eyes Black Fullmetal Dragon, we can technically play it and get a Level 5 or higher Dragon onto our field to fulfill its Summoning Requirement, but it’s not really that worth it. Even if it is an omni-negate, Dogmatika already gives you so many forms of interruption during your opponent’s turn with Dogmatika Alba Zoa having potentially already ripped half of your opponent’s Extra Deck or some number of cards from your opponent’s hand. Again, we could play and make Fullmetal, but it’s more clunky to do so, and we already have a lot of possible forms of interruption that playing an additional interruption practically achieves very little if anything at all. Sure, this Deck is not as good as say Pure Dogmatika with Iblee or Ken and Gen, but it’s still very fun and it makes use of the new Metalmorph cards which are very cool.

For the monsters: 2 Dogmatika Alba Zoa and 1 White Relic of Dogmatika. Alba Zoa is a Level 12 Ritual Monster that cannot be Ritual Summoned except by the effect of Dogmatikalamity or another Dogmatika card. While on field, it makes all Dogmatika monsters you control unaffected by the activated effects of your opponent’s Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and Link Monsters. And during your Main Phase, you can have your opponent choose between applying 1 of 2 effects to themselves. They can send a card from their hand or Extra Deck to GY for every 2 cards in their Extra Deck or return all Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and Link Monsters they control to the Extra Deck. Just to remind some people, if you go first and use Alba Zoa’s effect, your opponent must choose the effect to send cards from their hand and/or Extra Deck to GY because they control no Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and Link Monsters. White Relic on Ritual Summon can target 2 fac-eup monsters on the field to make 1 of those monsters gain ATK equal to the other monster’s ATK. While it is on the field, Level 8 or higher Dogmatika monsters you control cannot be destroyed by battle, and if a monster is Special Summoned from your opponent’s Extra Deck, you can look at your opponent’s Extra Deck and send a monster from it to the GY. Essentially, White Relic is a massive support card for Alba Zoa, despite being released first. On Ritual Summon, she can target herself and Alba Zoa to turn herself into a 4500 ATK monster and she also gives Alba Zoa battle protection. And of course, the Extra Deck rip of her’s is also great for disrupting particular play lines. 3 Dogmatika Maximus. You can Special Summon it from your hand by banishing a Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, or Link Monsters from your GY and during your Main Phase, you can have you and your opponent send 2 monsters with different names from your Extra Decks to the GY, but you cannot Special Summon from the Extra Deck for the rest of the turn. Maximus is just a good way to get more monsters with GY effects from your Extra Deck into the GY if you need to do so after having possibly already used Dogmatikamatrix or Nadir Servant. It can also start plays by sending a Herald of the Arc Light from your Extra Deck to GY to get a Ritual Monster or Ritual Spell search. 1 Dogmatika Fleurdelis, the Knighted which can Quick Effect Special Summon itself from your hand during the Main Phase if a monster that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck is on the field, and then if you control another Dogmatika monster, you can negate the effects of 1 face-up monster on the field until the end of the turn. Also, it can once per turn pump the ATK of all Dogmatika monsters you control by 500 when a Dogmatika monster declares an attack. It’s a great search off of Titaniklad the Ash Dragon during the End Phase as it gives you another form of interruption during your opponent’s turn. 3 Dogmatika Ecclesia, the Virtuous. She cannot be destroyed by battle with a monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck and you can Special Summon her from your hand if there is a monster on field that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck. And on Normal or Special Summon, she searches a Dogmatika card from Deck at the cost of locking you out of the Extra Deck for the rest of the turn. Ecclesia is great. She is your number 1 search target off of Nadir Servant and she can search you Dogmatikamatrix on Summon to get to your plays. 1 Blazing Cartesia, the Virtuous. The effects that matter are you being able to Quick Effect Fusion Summon a Level 8 or higher Fusion Monster from the Extra Deck using monsters from hand or field during the Main Phase and her being able to add herself from GY to hand during the End Phase of a turn where a Fusion Monster(s) was sent to the GY. She is what we are Summoning off of Luluwalilith’s End Phase effect in the GY so that we can make Granguignol during our opponent’s turn. For the Metalmorph-related monster: 1 Metalzoa X, 3 Fiend Beast Zoa, and 1 Metal Copycat. Metalzoa X must first be Special Summoned with Enhanced Metalmorph Tributing a Level 5 or higher Fiend monster. Fiend Beast Zoa fits this requirement, but a Despian Proskenion Summoned off of the effect of Granguignol the Dusk Dragon also does the job in case you don’t have Zoa access. Metalzoa X can also reveal itself in your hand to set a Metalmorph Trap from your Deck and then shuffle itself from hand back into the Deck. You do go even in this interaction, but it just feels bad to draw Metalzoa X and do this. You can only activate 1 Enhanced Metalmorph per turn, so drawing Metalzoa while you have access to Enhanced Metalmorph already means that you are just down a card at that point. But if you do Summon it, it can target and destroy a face-up monster your opponent controls as a Quick Effect when your opponent activates a Spell Card or effect or monster effect up to twice per turn which is pretty good interruption. Fiend Beast Zoa can be Normal Summoned without Tributing if your opponent controls a monster and you can also Special Summon it from your hand, but your opponent can then Special Summon a monster from their hand if you don’t have an Enhanced Metalmorph in your GY. Also, you can set a Metalmorph Trap from your Deck during your Main Phase. To get the additional search off of Dogmatikamatrix, we are bagging on the fact that our opponent doesn’t know that we are playing Dogmatika, so we are trying to bait them into Special Summoning from hand off of Zoa. And we can always clear whatever they Summon by sending an Elder Entity N’tss at some point during our turn, or we can have our Triple Tactics Thrust and Triple Tactics Talent live if their Summoned monster activates its effect. Metal Copycat has its Level increased by 4 during your opponent’s turn only and if it is Normal or Special Summoned, it can set a Metalmorph Trap from your Deck, and then if you have Enhanced Metalmorph in GY, you can draw a card. Also, you can declare a monster type to have it become that type until the end of your opponent’s turn. You are supposed to declare Dragon or Fiend with this in order for it to become a Level 5 during your opponent’s turn which then allows you to either make Red-Eyes Fullmetal or Metalzoa X with it using Enhanced Metalmorph. Well, that’s not what we are playing it for. Ecclesia is a much better Normal Summon, but we are playing this card to search off of Approaching Machine in order to have access to Enhanced Metalmorph for our opponent’s turn while using Metal Copycat itself as material for a Link-1 to get a monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck out onto the field to Special Summon Ecclesia from our hand. And finally, 3 Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring. 

Spell/Traps: 1 Dogmatikamacabre which Ritual Summons a Dogmatika Ritual Monster from hand or GY by Tributing monsters from hand or field, and/or banishing Fusion or Synchro Monsters from your GY. The rest of its effect is irrelevant as we are not playing White Knight of Dogmatika. This card is good for getting back an Alba Zoa from GY because there is no other way to Summon it from GY other than by the effect of Dogmatika Encounter which we are not playing because it is an otherwise mid Trap Card. Or you can use it to Ritual Summon White Relic by banishing say a Herald of the Arc Light. 1 Dogmatikalamity which Ritual Summons a Dogmatika Ritual Monster from hand by Tributing monsters from hand or field whose total Levels exactly equal the Level of the Ritual Monster or you can send 1 monster from your Extra Deck to the GY whose Level equal the Level of the Ritual Monster, but you are locked out of the Extra Deck for the rest of the turn. We are primarily using this card to Ritual Summon Alba Zoa by sending Despian Luluwalilith from our Extra Deck in order to also get Luluwalilith’s effect in GY during the End Phase. 3 Nadir Servant which sends a monster from your Extra Deck to the GY and then adds a Dogmatika monster or a Fallen of Albaz from your Deck to your hand with ATK less than or equal to the sent monster’s in the GY, but you are locked out of the Extra Deck for the rest of the turn. 3 Dogmatikamatrix which adds a Dogmatika Ritual Monster/Spell from Deck to hand on activation and then if your opponent controls a monster, you can search for another Dogmatika card from Deck. And if you control a Dogmatika Ritual Monster, you can look at either player’s Extra Deck and send a monster from it to the GY. 3 Triple Tactics Talent and 2 Triple Tactics Thrust. 3 Approaching Machine which adds a monster that mentions Enhanced Metalmorph or a Metalmorph Trpa from your Deck or GY to hand. And if you control a Metalmorph Trap, you can banish it from GY to target and change an opponent’s Defense Position monster to Attack Position. It’s a very good search Spell and it allows you to change a monster’s battle position which is better than you might think. It allows you to hit over monsters in Attack Position for damage with your 4000 ATK Alba Zoa and/or potentially 4500 ATK White Relic. 2 Enhanced Metalmorph which is activated by Tributing a face-up monster. It then Special Summons a monster that cannot be Normal Summoned/Set and mentions Enhanced Metalmorph from hand, Deck, or GY, and then you can equip this card to it as an Equip Card that gives it 400 ATK/DEF and prevents targeting and destruction by Spell and monster effects. Honestly, a straight upgrade from Rare Metalmorph as opposed to the original Metalmorph is really cool, and it even adds on extra layers of protection that Rare Metalmorph never covered in the first place. And finally, 3 Infinite Impermanence. 

Extra Deck: 1 Despian Proskenion which can Quick Effect target a Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, or Link Monster in your opponent’s GY and either banish it or Special Summon it to your field and if it destroys a monster by battle you can inflict damage to your opponent equal to that monster’s ATK or DEF whichever is higher. This is our Granguignol target in Extra Deck to Special Summon by its effect for another possible form of interruption, and whether or not you have used its effect already, you can Tribute it with Enhanced Metalmorph for Metalzoa X as it is a Fiend. 2 Granguignol the Dusk Dragon which requires Blazing Cartesia, the Virtuous and a LIGHT or DARK monster as material. On Fusion Summon, you can send a Level 6 or higher LIGHT or DARK monster from your Deck or Extra Deck to the GY. And if a monster is Special Summoned by your opponent’s activated monster effect, you can banish it from field or GY to Special Summon a Dogmatika monster from Deck or a Despia monster from Extra Deck. We are making this on our opponent’s turn via the effect of Cartesia’s Quick Effect to Fusion Summon. Then, its effect to send a monster on Summon can send something like a Malong to bounce a face-up card your opponent controls or you can send an Alba Zoa from Deck to Ritual Summon it from GY with Dogmatikamacabre for another 4000 ATK monster on field for going for game next turn. 2 Titaniklad the Ash Dragon which we are only using because it searches or Special Summons a Dogmatika monster from Deck during the End Phase of the turn it was sent to the GY. 2 Elder Entity N’tss which targets and destroys a card on field if it is sent to the GY. 1 Despian Luluwalilith which is a Level 12 monster we can send from Extra Deck with Dogmatikalamity to Ritual Summon Alba Zoa and during the End Phase it was sent to GY, you can Special Summon 1 LIGHT Spellcaster monster from hand or Deck whose ATK equals its own DEF which gets you Blazing Cartesia for your opponent’s turn. 1 Wind Pegasus @Ignister which if another card(s) you control is destroyed by battle or an opponent’s card effect while it is on field or in GY, you can banish it to target and shuffle a card your opponent controls into the Deck. 1 Golden Cloud Beast Malong which targets a face-up card your opponent controls and returns it to hand if it is sent to GY. 2 Herald of the Arc Light which searches a Ritual Monster/Spell if sent to GY. 1 Mereologic Aggregator which targets a face-up card on field and negates its effects until the end of the turn if it is sent to the GY. And 1 Salamangreat Almiraj and 1 Secure Gardna which you can make with said Almiraj. Secure Gardna Linking off Almiraj puts a monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck on the field so you can Special Summon Ecclesia from hand by her effect and have Fleurdelis live at any point during your opponent’s turn. But it also means that you now have a Link Monster in GY to banish to Special Summon Dogmatika Maximus without having committed anything but a monster with 1000 or less ATK for your Normal Summon. Because we are playing Metal Copycat, you could play something like Relinquished Anima instead or even Linguriboh for a Trap Card negate since Copycat can change its Typing, or even Fiendsmith’s Requiem for full Fiendsmith combo into D/D/D High Wave King Caesar if you commit to the bit. But Almiraj is the best choice as it can be made by Normal Summoning a handtrap with 0 ATK, say Ash Blossom or Effect Veiler. 

Side Deck: 3 Nibiru, the Primal Being, 3 Effect Veiler, 1 Harpie’s Feather Duster, 2 Lightning Storm, 1 Called by the Grave, 3 Evenly Matched, 1 Dimensional Barrier, and 1 Dogmatika Punishment.
