Dogmatika Invoked

This is a standard Dogmatika Invoked deck. All cards are legal as of 11/4/2020.

 

Strategy:

Your strategy going first should be to turbo out Shaddoll Schism (in order to summon El Shaddoll Winda on your opponents turn) by sending El Shaddoll Apkallone and Titaniklad the Ash Dragon to the graveyard using Dogmatika Maximus's effect.

For longer matches you can repeatedly send Elder Entity N'tss and PSY-Framelord Omega to the graveyard using Dogmatika Maximus's effect to pop one of your opponent's cards and then recycle your resources back to the extra deck.

You can stop your opponent's plays using the powerful and searchable trap card Dogmatika Punishment.

When you have a clear board, an OTK can be performed by using Dogmatika Fleurdelis, the Knighted's effect to boost your Dogmatika cards attack power. You can also use Invoked Augoeides's effect to banish a fusion monster from the graveyard to gain a temporary attack boost.

 

Card Choice:

Both handtraps Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Effect Veiler can be link summoned into Salamangreat Almiraj and then Secure Gardna; doing so puts an extra deck monster on the field immediately allowing you to special summon any of the Dogmatika cards from your hand. This makes Effect Veiler arguably more valuable over the other popular handtrap PSY-Framegear Gamma.

We run two of Dogmatika Maximus and Dogmatika Fleurdelis as a precaution against banishing them when we activate Pot of Desires.

Given the popularity of powerful extra deck monsters such as Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon we play several outs to hard-to-get-rid-of monsters:

• Forbidden Droplet


• Ice Dragon's Prison


• Triple Tactics Talent

 

Strengths:

The deck is very consistent. You can start your plays using just one card such as Nadir Servant or Magical Meltdown.

There is a lot of room for hand traps or other going second cards depending on the match-up.

Your turn one board is very threatening. You can end on a powerful floodgate and multiple negates (Invoked Mechaba, El Shaddoll Winda, Dogmatika Fleurdelis)

 

Weaknesses:

This deck works works best if you're familiar with your opponent's strategy. You can easily lose advantage if you destroy or negate the wrong cards during your opponent's combo play.

Dogmatika effects can lock you out of the extra deck for a turn. Be mindful of when you cannot summon invoked fusion monsters.

This deck suffers if you cannot resolve Dogmatika Maximus because your opponent does not play extra deck monsters.

Your opponent can potentially counter Dogmatika Maximus with cards such as Cyber Dragon Nova or Elder Entity N'tss.

This deck is reliant on searching cards from the deck and sending cards to the graveyard and is therefore susceptible to hand traps such as Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Dimension Shifter.
