Deck Review: Creature from the ages long gone......

Hi everyone, today I got back my O level results and am quite satisfied with myself about it. (For those who don't know, O levels examinations are a series of exams that we Singaporeans have to take when we complete our secondary education.)

Anyway, back to topic. Today's post is about a archetype which is not widely played, but is extremely potent when played correctly. The archetype which I am talking is Juracs, which were first seen in the Japanese Duel Terminal sets. All of the Juracs are dinosaurs, and each of them have unique effects that are pretty devastating when pulled off against your opponents. Shown below is a example of a Jurac decklist.

Monsters:
3 Jurac Guivre
3 Jurac Deino
3 Jurac Vello
2 Jurac Galim
2 Jurac Herrera
1 Jurac Monolov
1 Jurac Auro
3 Hydrogeddon

Spells:
3 Fossil Dig
1 Heavy Storm
1 Mystical Space Typhoon
2 Book of Moon
3 Solidarity
1 My Body as a Shield
1 Lightning Vortex

Traps:
2 Fossil Excavation
2 Bottomless Trap Hole
1 Mirror Force
1 Torrential Tribute
2 Kunai With Chain
1 Call of the Haunted
1 Solemn Judgment

Extra:
3 Jurac Giganot
2 Jurac Meteor
1 Stardust Dragon
1 Red Dragon Archfiend
1 Black Rose Dragon
1 Ancient Fairy Dragon
1 Lightning Warrior
1 Goyo Guardian
1 Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Boundary
1 Gaia Knight, The Force of the Earth
1 Magical Andriod
1 Ally of Justice Catastor


Ok, the main focus of this deck is to continuosly summon out Jurac monsters using Jurac Guivre, as well as to synchro summon out a huge Jurac Giganot. Jurac Auro is there to aid in the summoning of Jurac Meteor, which gives this deck the power to clear the field at any given time, and futhermore, Meteor also provide field presence after clearing the field, something that Black Rose Dragon is unable to achieve. This deck also uses Solidarity to boost up the attack power of the monsters, thus giving this deck the ability to constantly spawn out massive monsters, which would spell trouble for the opponent. Hydrogeddon is added in because it is both a searcher as well as a Dinosaur, which enables it to be supported by all the Dino support cards added in this deck.

On to the spells. Dinos have their own RoTA on steroids in the form of Fossil
Dig, as it is not only able to add a Dino into your hand, but it is able to search out Dino monsters which is level 6 and below!! YES, U READ CORRECTLY, LEVEL 6 AND BELOW!! This means that you are able to search for Jurac Herrera and add it into your hand, for it to activate its special ability later on. The rest of the spells are self-explanatory, and most of them are staples in this format.

Finally, there are the traps. Dinos even have their own version of Call of the Haunted, at the mere cost of 1 hand card. Kunai with Chain is to provide extra power to my Juracs, as well as to protect the player from direct attacks from the opponent.

Here are the effects of the Jurac monsters if you don't know them.
