In-Depth MidRange Dogmatika Deck Profile (a.k.a. Waifu Dogmatika 🤩)

Summary
-----------------------------------------------
This build differs slightly from the more popular control variants of the deck. Instead of playing one of the many going-first lock-down strategies such as Jowgen, Winda or Iblee, this build instead focuses on a more flexible going second mid-range strategy. Dropping the lock-down sub-engines gives room in the main and extra decks for hand-traps, utility and swarming capabilities for the mid game. This build is also distinctly different from the pure ritual Dogmatika lists that heavily focus on ritual summoning and locking your opponent out of the game.

The aggressive nature of the deck comes into play with the ease of turboing out Alba Zoa turn 1. Summoning a 4k beater with little setup not only adds a lot of stats on board but also ensures you accumulate more resources at the end phase for subsequent turns. Your Dogmatika and SwordSoul monsters can also be swarmed out to close out games based on your opponents turn 1 plays. You also can reliably OTK your opponents with Accesscode Talker + Fluerdeis.

This is supplemented with the control elements that the deck naturally has access to. This includes things such as extra deck manipulation, non-targeting removal, and continual recursion with Blazing Cartesia, Incredible Ecclesia, and PSY-Framelord Omega.

This video was uploaded in the midst of the July CYAC format, post BLMR. Deck list, and recent tournament results were gathered during weekly OTS local events.

Recent Swiss tournament results from the last couple of major events that I attended. Each of these records are based on my results while piloting this deck, or an updated version of the deck to compete in each specific meta-game.
