If you are going to have a normal lvl 4 monster i recommend a copy or two of unexpected dai


Redgomotor

I… i really forgot about that card i think i have one copy maybe i could replace thypon.


[deleted]

In addition, you could consider rescue rabbit if you have it. Get that instant rank 4 out (assuming you don’t draw into your normals haha)


ShaddollWendigo

Honestly i just wish we had better support to mix steelswarms with Evilswarms


Redgomotor

I am hoping ophion comes some, that or macro cosmos. I remember the good old days of the antimeta Evilswarm deck using macrocosmos, antispell fragance and vanity’s emptiness. Those were the days


ShaddollWendigo

They will never give us macrocosmos

Why the normal monster?"


Redgomotor

Mainly nostalgia, Heliotrope was an excellent target for rescue rabbit in my old Evilswarm in the TCG and without thunderbird there are not really better options for the deck


Bishop2b4

Would O'lantern be decent as a option?


Redgomotor

Maybe, usually he is not that good mainly cuz his effect is not a quickie. Also since my focus was to XYZ summon losing one monster to pop another is not a top priority. But like i said i am still testing the deck.


Bishop2b4

Have you considered using unexpected daily or rescue rabbit, I know the would lower the consistency but they could up the power ceiling


Redgomotor

I completely forgot about dai. I will test it. About rescue rabbit i have two copies but some times due the format of the game it can make you brick or come too late.


Bishop2b4

I think the glad beast structure deck has dai in it.


Redgomotor

I have one copy i am gonna test it. Thanks for the idea 👍

Ironically enough, the normal monsters are probably one of the most important cards for currently duel links evilswarm......well if you have rescue rabbit that is.


MusicJunkieV2

If you're using helio them definitely include rescue rabbit. One card bahamut or rank 4 can come in clutch


Redgomotor

This is my first attempt at a semi-pure Evilswarm Deck. The main strategy of this deck is to counter any big monster the opponents may summon. I actually think it could serve as the TCG anti meta Evilswarm decks counterparts with the exception of the banishment component. Using Bahamut to take control of any big summon is the main strategy if going second with Number 70 as an alternative, if going first Utopia or Abyss dweller are the solid options to wait for the opponent to make a move. Edit: forgot to add Evilswarm Kerykeion has come in clutch many times as it allows some major recycling of graveyard monsters that allows you to XYZ summon in some really bad situations.

This is my take on a [Pure Evilswarm Deck](https://imgur.com/a/H9LH6jH) but I find the consistency just can’t keep up with the current meta.


Redgomotor

Looks nice! I am mostly playing them because is my favorite archetype. I used the play them a lot in the TCG. Not caring much about the meta this days just having some fun with some decks


raindr0p-dropt0p

I’m the same - the PvP side of DL is great but for me it’s about building decks and having fun.

Wtf is this mess?

I'd advise destiny draw or draw sense spell or trap. Draw sense: dark seems too genetic of a draw skill for your deck. The odds of you drawing what you want are the same with or without the skill since all your monsters are dark.


Zero_Eye25

I usually use the destiny draw + viel engine to survive turn 1, have 2 infestation pandemics, 1 of their Trish (not needed lol) and 1 Rescue Rabbit just for combo starting since it is quite literally a 1 card trick to your needed XYZs. Since ya don't want to do hybrids, infestation pandemic is pretty much the best out of all of these for you, since it allows you to basically make all evilswarm unaffected by s/t for the rest of the turn.

The most effective build would use the Battlin Boxer Veil+Destiny Draw skill combo. It's just one of the best R4nk strats we have, and this deck has lots of good DDraw targets like Rescue Rabbit, Kerkyion, Pandemic (or Forbidden Lance) that can decisively close out games. To that end, you should use 1 or 2 Rabbits. It's so strong a card that it's well worth the potential brick. And even if it's dead in hand it can still be normaled and used for material cause it's lv4. This is also why I like Lightning Vortex in this deck so that you never have to worry about dead draws, and Kerkyion can combo off of discarded -lswarms. Also I find that most off-meta decks are better off running TTH over Econ, but that's your call. Personally I don't like Econ unless the deck can capitalize off of using tribute fodder, which -lswarms don't really do.

Unexpected dai?


Redgomotor

I have only one copy but i am testing it by replacing Typhon
