The names of the "Dinorphia" monsters are based on the names of various dinosaur species. Alternatively, the Japanese archtype's name can also read as "Dinoruffian", a portmanteau of "dinosaur" and "ruffian", which refers to the depiction of monster of the archetype as outlaw criminals. The archetype's ''[[TCG]]'' name, "Dinomorphia", includes "morph-" into the ''OCG'' name's pre-existing portmanteau. "Morph-" likely refers to either "morphology", the form and structure of animals; "metamorphosis", a form of transformation or mutation which is emphasized by the hybridization of humanoids and dinosaurs in the archetype; or "[[wikipedia:Morphine|morphine]]", an addictive opiate with similar analgesic properties as dynorphins. ==Design== The "Dinomorphia" monsters are divided between two distinct design styles: one style that consists of human agents, and another style that consists of giant robotic creatures. The members that are human agents are equipped with mechanical augmentations based on the adaptive traits of their respective dinosaurs, while the robotic members are large robots that resemble prehistoric species of dinosaurs or non-dinosaur reptiles. All "Dinomorphia" monsters have 0 [[ATK]] or [[DEF]]. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Member !

The archetype is primarily composed of Trap Cards that all require the player paying half of their [[LP]] to activate, with effects ranging from board building, disruption, to recovery. Meanwhile, all "Dinomorphia" monsters have effects that make the monsters stronger the lower the player's LP is, encouraging the player to reduce their LP as much as possible without dying. The Deck has 8 Traps: 4 [[Normal Trap]]s and 4 [[Counter Trap]]s. {| class="wikitable mw-collapsible autocollapse" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border: none; text-align: center" |+ {{nowrap|Dinomorphia Traps}} |- !

If Summoned, "Therizia" sets a Trap from the Deck to the field, while "Diplos" sends a "Dinomorphia" card from Deck to the GY; "Therizia" is important for initial [[Fusion Summon]] setups (setting "Domain" or "Frenzy"), while "Diplos" sets up some effects that require GY setup, such as "Kentregina's" second effect (see below). The "Dinomorphia" boss monsters each reward the player for having as little LP as possible: * "[[Dinomorphia Kentregina]]" is the deck's main boss monster, having versatile effects and respectable stats. It has 4000 [[ATK]], but loses ATK equal to the player's LP. Thus, it has 0 ATK if the player has 4000+ LP, and the lower the player's LP is, the higher its ATK becomes. Its second effect can copy the effect of a "Dinomorphia" Normal Trap from the Graveyard as a Quick Effect at the cost of half the LP, allowing the player to expand their board by copying "Domain" or "Frenzy", disrupt the opponent by copying "Brute", or recover monsters by copying "Alert". The effect of "Diplos" can help set up its second effect. * "[[Dinomorphia Stealthbergia]]" is the deck's defensive boss monster. It lets the player activate Trap Cards or "Dinomorphia" monster effects without having to pay LP when the player has ≤2000 LP. This makes it possible to use cards like "[[Solemn Strike]]", "[[Solemn Warning]]", or "[[Appointer of the Red Lotus]]" even when the player has almost no LP left. It can also inflict damage to the opponent equal to the ATK of a monster when it activates its effect, even outside the field. Having 0 ATK and 2500 DEF, "Stealthbergia" is exclusively defense-focused. * "[[Dinomorphia Rexterm]]" is the deck's main suppressive boss monster. It prevents the opponent from activating monster effects if their ATK is equal to or higher than the "Dinomorphia" player's LP. At the cost of half the LP, its Quick Effect equalizes all the opponent's monsters' ATK with the player's LP, providing both effect activation suppression and combat support. All "Dinomorphia" monsters can Special Summon a different "Dinomorphia" monster from the GY if they're destroyed: "Rexsturm" floats into any Level 6 or lower "Dinomorphia" (i.e. all other "Dinomorphia" monsters), while all others float into a Level 4 or lower "Dinomorphia" (i.e. the Main Deck "Dinomorphia" monsters). Because of the high LP costs to activate the effects of "Dinomorphia" Trap Cards/Fusion Monsters, a "Dinomorphia" player will quickly reduce themselves to a very low LP, and become vulnerable to a quick defeat from [[burn]] or battle damage. However, all Traps have a Graveyard effect that protects the player from a damage source when the player has ≤2000 LP: the [[Normal Trap]]s can prevent effect damage for one turn, while the Counter Traps can prevent battle damage from one battle. Externally, the Deck benefits from other cards with half-LP costs, such as "[[Solemn Judgment]]", "[[Soul Strike]]", and "[[Red Reboot]]", as they can further push down the player's LP, and can be used regardless of how low the player's LP is. The Deck's playstyle also benefits from cards that can take advantage of the player's low LP, such as "[[Ferret Flames]]", "[[Hope for Escape]]", and "[[End of the Line]]". Finally, being a Dinosaur theme, generic support cards like "[[Miscellaneousaurus]]", "[[Souleating Oviraptor]]", "[[Ultimate Conductor Tyranno]]", and "[[Fossil Dig]]" can increase the Deck's overall consistency. ===Recommended cards=== {{Decklist|Recommended cards <!--This is not an exact Decklist.

In this case, this Deck's strategy could even backfire for the player, if their LP will be low enough to allow the opponent to [[chain]] effect damages to finish the player. ** Cards that force the opponent to pay LP to activate cards or effects, such as "[[Masquerade the Blazing Dragon]]", can bypass the archetype's effect damage protection and lock the player out of effect activations when their LP reaches below the pay requirement. * The Deck has difficulty combating monsters that can attack directly via a continuous effect; "Rexterm" cannot negate continuous effects, and "Shell" cannot redirect direct attacks. * Since the archetype mostly relies on [[Trap Card]]s, cards such as "[[Royal Decree]]" could effectively slow down the Deck's strategy, or even shut down them. * "[[Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring]]" can negate both Trap Cards that [[Fusion Summon]], neutralizing the strategy of the Deck. A counterstrategy is [[Set]]ting "[[Called by the Grave]]" or "[[Solemn Strike]]" along those Traps to negate "Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring". * "[[Cosmic Cyclone]]", "[[Twin Twisters]]", and any Spell or Trap removal card that can be activated before the [[Main Phase]] can destroy the Fusion Summoning Traps before they can be [[activate]]d, because they can only be activated during the Main Phase. ** "[[Red Reboot]]" can blank all Trap Cards for a turn, leaving the "Dinorphia" player wide open for an [[OTK]]. ** Although the Fusion Summoning Traps can be chained to cards such as "[[Harpie's Feather Duster]]", "[[Lightning Storm]]", and "[[Evenly Matched]]", those cards can wipe out the other backrows. * "[[Super Polymerization]]" is a threat to this Deck since all monsters are [[DARK]]. * "[[Topologic Trisbaena]]" disrupts any Deck that Sets a lot of backrow, and this Deck is no exception. * "[[Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon]]" is a threat to this Deck, especially when using "[[Dinomorphia Kentregina]]", as the player will likely have half their LP to [[Fusion Summon]] "Kentregina", and "Dragoon" can destroy "Kentregina" with its effect, dealing 4000 [[burn]] damage to the player and potentially defeating them. {{Archseries navbox}} [[Category:TCG and OCG archetypes]]
