Use the code below to paste this deck on the Bizarro Dvorak Engine once you've loaded the set into the pack mode:

ccgmode on
packmode off
loadpack Mesozoic Era
loadpack Industrial Age
loadpack Ankylosaur=3
loadpack Apatosaur=3
loadpack Assassin=4
loadpack Infantryman=4
loadpack Kamikaze=4
loadpack Oxygen Rich Environment=2
loadpack Panzer IV=2
loadpack Plesiosaur=3
loadpack Triceratops=3
loadpack Tyrannosaur=3
loadpack Alternate Universe=2
loadpack Blitzkrieg=4
loadpack Extinction Event=2
loadpack Maelstrom=4
loadpack Tether=2

Testing

I had the chance to pit this deck against the Temptation deck. Either I wasn't playing it right or the Temptation deck counters this one really well. Here's what I noticed:

  • Oxygen Rich Environment had a tendency to backfire by allowing a Zombie to warp in, take a hit and then tempt a dinosaur.
  • The Industrial Age portal goes down quickly, at which point the dinosaurs have no hope of winning (because they can't alter portals.)
  • Maelstorm to Extinction Event is suicidal when all your remaining units are in the same era and Oxygen Rich Environment is out of use due to aforementioned backfires.
  • This deck has serious stalling potential thanks to Maelstorm, Extinction Event and high-stamina dinosaurs.
  • Since the deck has no equipment, I see no reason to use Infantrymen instead of more Assassins.
  • I'd suggest adding some Volcano to the deck, because although it does less damage than Extinction Event, it can also warp into an opponent's Era before going off.

And getting steamrolled by Knights riding Apatosaurs is painful-Bucky

  • Damn zombies.
  • There's always Alternate Universe as a last hope.

Suggestions for modifying the deck:

  • -4 Infantryman, +4 Commando (Extra stamina, more useful ability due to the deck's lack of Equipment)
  • -2 Ankylosaur, -2 Plesiosaur (Even with extra Oxygen, they're crippled after one meteor without Regeneration)
  • +1 Triceratops, +1 Apatosaur (replacing lost Ankylosaur)
  • +2 Volcano (Fits well with the deck)
  • +2 Fortress, -2 something else (keep your soldiers alive after a Blitzkrieg)
  • Use the current version of Kamakaze
