Dinosaurs-Lightsworn Deck Link Format December 2017

With many monster that have high ATK points, many duelist categorize Dinosaurs as a Beatdown deck. With Lightsworn support and That Grass Looks Greener, we can made unique and powerfull 60-cards Dinosaurs Deck, because we have so many graveyard effect to choose, like special summon, or negate attack. But 60-cards deck become less popular since That Grass Looks Greener become limited. And Dinosaur itself become less popular since Ryosuke Tsujimura won 2017 Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG World Championship with his Dinosaur Yang Zing, some Dinosaurs cards and support become limited even banned. But this doesn't mean we can not make a good Dinosaur deck.

About Dinosaurs and Lightsworn Archetype

Both Dinosaurs and Lightsworn are old Archetype. Dinosaurs itself doesn't categorized as an Archetype, but as a Monster Type. The strategy of Dinosaurs Deck is simple, summon their high-Level monsters as quickly as possible then use the brute force to beat your opponent. Dinosaur get its popularity since Konami released Ultimate Conductor Tyranno, more powerful version of Super Conductor Tyranno and easier to summon. With some Dinosaurs support like Miscellaneousaurus, Soul-Devouring Oviraptor, and Babycerasaurus, this deck become very powerful, and later True King Dinosaur Yang Zing become so popular.

Lightsworn itself is an all Light-Attribute monster that has ability to self-mill, and in early 2017 they get some Dark-Attribute monster that has ability to banish Lightsworn cards. This Archetype is very old, before Synchro era. A very powerful and popular Archetype, since that era. with ability to self-mill, Lightsworn sometimes used in some other Archetype like Infernoid, Paleozoic, Skull Servant, etc. With new Link Monster, this Archetype once again become favorite for 60-cards deck user.

Dinosaurs-Lightsworn Play-style

Very simple, either use Grinder Golem to summon powerful Link Monsters, or use Lightsworn mill ability to abuse your Graveyard, or use new Dinosaur Spell Card to quickly summon Ultimate Conductor Tyranno from deck. For detail you can see my newest Dinosaur-Lightsworn (Dinosworn) deck, works excellent in Link Format :

Tips #3

You can also use PSY-Framelord Omega in graveyard to return destroyed link monster to extra deck.

Tips #4

Make sure your life point always above 1000, so you won't die due to Performage Trick Clown effect.

Weakness

This deck really needs graveyard to win, so effect that will banish card will hurt this deck so much. Be aware of Dimensional Fissure, Macro Cosmos, or Masked Hero Dark Law. Gravekeeper can also beat this deck, except you draw very good card like . The good news is Dimensional Fissure and Macro Cosmos is still limited, also Gravekeeper don't really have high ATK monster.

Another Card Recommendation

Don't try to add Judgement Dragon to this deck, because you only have 3 Lightsworn with different name in Graveyard. So the Gandora family will be good replacement for Judgement Dragon, don't forget to add Eclipse Dragon too. Another Kyrios, Dominion of the Lightsworn is also good, just in case your first one is destroyed, Grinder Golem combo is not the only one way to summon this card. Another Level 7 Synchro like Clear Wing Synchro Dragon or Black Rose Moonlight Dragon is a good replacement for Michael, the Arch-Lightsworn, since you can easily summon them with Armageddon Knight and Destrudo the Lost Dragon's Frisson.
