This is always nice, as you can choose when to disrupt your opponent. It’s like a watered-down Sudden Shift in that you destroy 1 Dinoruffia monster you control and 1 card in your opponent’s field (… after you pay half). Dinoruffia Brute fits the bill in that regard. Modern Yu-Gi-Oh! has shifted to a more interruption-oriented meta instead of several hard negates. This is recurring in the normal Dinoruffia traps. This bad boy fusion summons using materials from the hand, field, or DECK (after you pay half your LP)! I mean that’s crazy, in and of itself already, but it’s even better when you take into consideration that Kentregina can get this effect a second time on your opponent’s turn! Also, it has another effect wherein if you’re 2000 LP or less and your opponent activates a card/effect, you can banish it to prevent damage from opponents’ card effects that turn. You could probably consider Kentregina to be the boss monster of the archetype, and she does look pretty badass!ĭinoruffia Domain is probably the best trap of the archetype. The interesting thing, as you’ll see later, is that a trap can fusion summon using materials from the deck! Oh and yes… she also floats.

This allows the effect to copy that of the banished trap. She has a very interesting effect, where you need to pay half your life points and banish a Dinoruffia normal trap from the grave. It’s scary to see a level 6 monster have that much ATK, but it does lose some equal to your current life points. Yes, that includes generic traps like Judgment and Strike! Its other effect is kind of meh, as it only deals damage when an opponent’s monster activates its effect.ĭinoruffia Kentregina has 4000 ATK. It makes it so that if your life points are 2000 or less, you don’t need to pay life points to activate Trap cards or Dinoruffia monster effects. Of course, he also has the floating effect on destruction.ĭinoruffia Stealthbegia is a key part of the deck. This is a little bit underwhelming but still gets your GY setup, which as you’ll find out later, is essential to the archetype. If Therizia sets a trap directly from the deck, Diplos sends a card from the deck to the GY. (Well, you could say 9 since Fossil Dig is still a thing). Yes, as of writing, there are only 2 main-deck Dinoruffia monsters. So who does Therizia summon? That would be Dinoruffia Diplos. Therizia summons a level 4 or lower monster from the GY if she’s destroyed, by banishing 1 trap (any trap) from the graveyard. This recurs throughout the archetype, which is cool for plusses AND is also thematic to Dinosaurs since they proc when destroyed.

On top of that, she has a second effect – a floating one. She’s the Marionetter of the deck, which is always nice! Not only that, but special summoning also procs her effect, which is a sweet added bonus.
