The [[:April_2015_Lists_(TCG)|April 2015 Forbidden List]] made the previously Limited "[[Gladiator Beast Bestiari]]" Unlimited, making the entire deck not as susceptible to having a "[[Bottomless Trap Hole]]" or other card that banishes monsters used on "Bestiari", which would render "[[Gladiator Beast Gyzarus]]" inaccessible for the remainder of the Duel.
==Previous incarnations of thes Deck types=====Tigerless Gladiator Beasts===After the used "[[March 2011 Lists|March 2011 Forbidden ListRescue Cat]], many people created an alternate version of the "Gladiator Beast" Deck that did not revolve around to Summon monsters such as "[[Elemental HERO PrismaGladiator Beast Samnite]]" or and "[[Test Tiger]]"to make big plays. It introduced multiple copies With the Errata of "Rescue Cat", however, the Deck changed its strategy. With the release of "[[Gladiator Proving GroundRescue Rabbit]]" and , the new version of the Deck uses "[[Gladiator Beast's RespiteAndal]]" to increase allow for the speed and stability quick Summon of the Deck, while "[[Gladiator Beast EquesteEssedarii]]" or "[[Gladiator Beast Heraklinos]]" allowed the recycling of these cards.

===Prisma Gladiator Beasts===
Also known "Prisma Glads", this Deck introduces "[[Elemental HERO Prisma]]" into the standard "Gladiator Beast" build. The effect of "Prisma" treats it as "[[Gladiator Beast Bestiari]]", allowing it to be used in the Summoning of "[[Gladiator Beast Gyzarus]]". After destroying two cards and attacking, you can return "Gyzarus" to the Extra Deck to Summon "[[Gladiator Beast Darius]]", allowing you to resurrect "Bestiari" from the Graveyard. You can then Summon "Gyzarus" once more, destroying more cards in the process, and putting "Bestiari" back in the Deck to be used again.
"[[Elemental HERO Stratos]]", "[[Reinforcement of the Army]]" and "[[E - Emergency Call]]" are all cards that add consistency to this build, allowing you to search your "Prismas" easily.
Another useful strategy in this Deck involves Special Summoning "[[Test Tiger]]" and Tributing it to send an "Prisma" that is being treated as "Gladiator Beast Bestiari" back to the Deck to Special Summon "Gladiator Beast Darius". "Darius" can then use its effect to Special Summon the "Bestiari" in the Graveyard, allowing you quick access to "Gyzarus". If you have another "Gladiator Beast" monster in your Graveyard, this can be followed up by tagging out with "Gyzarus" to Special Summon "Darius" and "[[Gladiator Beast Laquari]]", with the former resurrecting a third "Gladiator Beast". These 3 materials allow you to Summon "[[Gladiator Beast Heraklinos]]" efficiently.
