Today's CDP features the return of the Insect pile to my channel, this time featuring the brand new support cards that made their debut as TCG World Premiere cards in Rage of the Abyss. If you missed my last profile that heavily featured Insects, be sure to check that out here: • CDP: Battlewasp Beetrooper Insect Pil...
Alright, now that you're back, let's talk about the new cards. First up is a brand-new Level 5 EARTH Insect, Supply Soldier of the Indestructible Insects. It can Special Summon itself from the hand whenever any Insect monster effect is activated, but more importantly, it carries an effect to Fusion Summon an Insect Fusion. In other words, Resonance Insect is now a path to your Fusion Monsters. Speaking of Fusions, Insect strategies just got a new Fusion in Heavy Cavalry of the Indestructible Insects, a Level 7 Fusion that cannot be destroyed by the opponent's card effects while also being able to banish 2 monsters on the field as a Quick Effect. This gives the Insect endboard a significant extra disruption, especially if you banish something like Battlewasp - Grand Partisan the Revolution. The last new Insect support card is Insect Invitation, a Continuous Spell that makes all monsters the opponent controls become Insect, plus it can recycle 3 banished Insect Monsters for a draw each turn. While this card doesn't do too much on its own, it does let this deck have a grind game that can rival even the Runick strategy.
To close us out for this profile, I want to take a second to highlight what's changed about my tech choices and ratios in this build in particular. Firstly, I want to say thanks for the commentor who suggested Bio-Insect Armor to pair with Gran Partisan - it has actually worked out extremely well for me, plus an extra 1500 ATK is nothing to scoff at when going for an OTK. Secondly, you'll notice that I dipped much more heavily into Plant support cards with Cyclos the Circular Sprite and Rose Girl. This was a deliberate choice to open up the deck to more starter options, while also granting access to Circle of the Fairies for access to another extra Insect Normal Summon and Ruddy Rose Dragon for a massive OTK-bomb play later in the duel. Finally, I've minimized the Battlewasp slots to minimize potential bricks without reducing its impact on the duel or win condition. With that, buzz off until my next profile drops in a few days!
