Here is our recommended Zoodiac Tri-Brigade deck profile. The deck consists of a total of 40 Main Deck cards and 15 Extra Deck monsters:
Monsters:
Spells:
Traps:
Extra Deck:
The Zoodiac Tri-Brigade deck utilizes a small Zoodiac engine consisting of core monsters (such as Zoodiac Thoroughblade) and XYZ monsters (like the powerful Zoodiac Drident), to increase the power and consistency of the Tri-Brigade monsters and integrate with the deck’s incredible Link Summon potential. Due to the high rarity of Extra Deck monsters andstaple cardslike Forbidden Droplet, this is a more expensive meta deck to build than budget meta decks likeLyrilusc Tri-Brigade. Though a number of core cards, including the Tr-Brigade monsters, are available in N and R rarity.
Many of the Tri-Brigade and Zoodiac cards can be found in the Echo Chamber Nation and Those Who Stand Against Kingssecret packs. To create a cheaper version of this deck, consider replacing negation cards like Forbidden Droplet with alternatives like Forbidden Chalice.
Zoodiac Tri-Brigade combos
The core one-card Fraktall combo
What makes Zoodiac Tri-Brigade powerful is the ability to put out a strong field using just a single card. For this core combo to work, you need to either haveTri-Brigade Fraktallin your hand, or the ability to search the card usingFire Formation - Tenki. If you open with Tenki and not Fraktall, first use Tenki to search for the Tri-Brigade monster. Then, activate the following:
Fraktall + One Additional Tri-Brigade Monster Combos
If you have a Fraktall and another Tri-Brigade monster (or Fire Formation - Tenki) in your hand, it is possible to summon an almost-insurmountable field. To do so, execute the following:
Apollousa gains attack based on the number of materials used to Link Summon, while also gaining the ability to subtract attack in order negate a monster effect once per chain. This makes them a difficult monster to overcome. It’s hard for your opponent to start combos of their own when you control a monster that can negate your opponent’s monster effects multiple times within a single turn.
Fraktall + One Additional Zoodiac Monster Combos
If you have a Zoodiac monster in your hand alongside Tri-Brigade Fraktall, the Zoodiac engine of the deck comes into play. To do so, execute the following:
Zoodiac Drident is powerful (and limited to a maximum of one copy per deck on theforbidden and limited list) for a reason. Drident’s effect allows you to detach one material from the card in order to target and destroy one face-up card on the field. In addition, if you undertake this combo after going second or later in the duel and this card can attack your opponent, in your Main Phase 2 it is possible to XYZ summonDivine Arsenal AA-Zeus - Sky Thunderon top of Drident. This will offer you a 3000 attack monster with a number of materials that can be used to send all other cards on the field to the graveyard.
Additional combos to consider
Many of these combos rely on the strength of Tri-Brigade Fraktall. However, it’s possible you won’t have Tri-Brigade Fraktall or a card like Fire Formation - Tenki in your opening hand. If this is the case, there are other combos to consider.
If you have a copy of Tri-Brigade Nervall and one other Tri-Brigade or Zoodiac monster in your hand, try this combo instead:
