Instructions for Playing Onomat (Onomato)
Sections covered in this guide:
Skill
Destiny Draw (Skill Card) (Usage rate in KoG deck: 50%)
Destiny Draw allows players to access any card in the deck and draw it. This makes combos, defenses, comebacks or overwhelming the opponent more diverse in gameplay without being too dependent on luck.
Draw Sense: High-Level (Usage rate in KoG: 50%)
Draw sense: High level is a skill that allows you to randomly draw 1 Level 5 or higher monster from the deck (if you only bring 1 monster, you will definitely draw that monster). The activation condition is very simple: you have lost 1000 points. So you can bring Cosmic Cyclone to activate this skill. In Onomat this skill is mainly used to draw Gagaga Head for outplay.
Core Deck
Zubababancho Gagagacoat and Utopic Onomatopoeia (X3)
Zubababancho Gagagacoat
ATK:
1800
DEF:
100
If you control a "Zubaba" or "Gagaga" monster except "Zubababancho Gagagacoat", while this card is in your hand: You can Special Summon this card. You can target 1 "Gogogo" or "Dododo" monster in your GY; Special Summon it, also you cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck for the rest of this turn, except Xyz Monsters. You can only use each effect of "Zubababancho Gagagacoat" once per turn.
Utopic Onomatopoeia
ATK:
1500
DEF:
1500
(This card is always treated as a "Zubaba", "Gagaga", "Gogogo", and "Dododo" card.) During your Main Phase: You can Special Summon up to 1 each "Zubaba", "Gagaga", "Gogogo", and/or "Dododo" monster(s) from your hand in Defense Position, also you cannot Special Summon from the Extra Deck for the rest of this turn, except Xyz Monsters. You can only use this effect of "Utopic Onomatopoeia" once per turn.
Utopic Onomatopoeia (I will call it UO for short) is a very good support card for Yuma's main forces as it has 6 archetypes: Zubaba, Gagaga, Gogogo, Dododo, Utopic, Onomat. It is a 4-star monster with the ability to summon an additional Zubaba, Gagaga, Gogogo, Dododo (now I will call these 4 for short as ZGGD), to perform Xyz summon combos. Although its side effect is that this turn can only summon Xyz monsters, it does not affect this set that only plays Xyz.
Gagaga Mancer, Gagaga Head and Dodododwarf Gogogoglove (X0-1)
Gagaga Mancer
ATK:
100
DEF:
100
Once per turn: You can target 1 "Gagaga" monster in your Graveyard, except "Gagaga Mancer"; Special Summon it, also you cannot Special Summon monsters for the rest of this turn, except "Gagaga" monsters. If this card is detached from an Xyz Monster and sent to the Graveyard to activate that monster's effect: You can target 1 face-up Xyz Monster you control; it gains 500 ATK until the end of this turn.
Gagaga Head
ATK:
2100
DEF:
2000
If your opponent controls a monster and you control no monsters, you can Normal Summon this card without Tributing as a Level 4 monster. When this card is Normal Summoned: You can target up to 2 "Gagaga" monsters in your Graveyard, except "Gagaga Head"; Special Summon them, also you cannot Special Summon monsters for the rest of this turn, except by an Xyz Summon that uses only "Gagaga" monsters as materials. An Xyz Monster that was Summoned using this card on the field as Xyz Material gains this effect. ● If it is Xyz Summoned: Draw 1 card.
Dodododwarf Gogogoglove
ATK:
0
DEF:
1800
During your Main Phase: You can Special Summon 1 "Zubaba" or "Gagaga" monster from your hand. If you control a "Gogogo" or "Dododo" monster except "Dodododwarf Gogogoglove", while this card is in your GY: You can Special Summon this card, but banish it when it leaves the field. You can only use each effect of "Dodododwarf Gogogoglove" once per turn.
Gagaga Head (Head) is one of the cards that has the ability to revive when losing with the ability to pull 2 Gagaga monsters from the grave and summon them to the field, however in this turn only Xyz can be summoned. In addition, its comeback ability also comes from the fact that when it is used as an Xyz material, you can draw 1 more card (if that card is Gagaga Bolt or BoM , there will be a chance to outplay the opponent), and the ability to attract monsters. From the grave, the monster is pulled up without blocking effects, allowing us to revive ZG to set up a battle with 2 Xyz monsters and trade with the opponent.
Gagaga Sister, Gagaga Magician and Gagaga Child (X2-3)
Gagaga Sister
ATK:
200
DEF:
800
When this card is Normal Summoned: You can add 1 "Gagaga" Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand. You can target 1 other "Gagaga" monster you control; the Levels of that monster and this card become their combined current Levels, until the end of this turn. You can only use this effect of "Gagaga Sister" once per turn.
Gagaga Child
ATK:
800
DEF:
1200
If you control a "Gagaga" monster other than "Gagaga Child", you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). When you do: You can target 1 "Gagaga" monster you control with a different Level than this card; this card's Level becomes the Level of that monster. You cannot conduct your Battle Phase the turn you activate this effect.
Gagaga Sister is a waifu monster with a very powerful opening ability thanks to changing the Level of herself and a Gagaga monster so that the level of both monsters is equal to the Level of both monsters combined. In addition, Gagaga Sister also allows searching Add 1 Gagaga spell/trap (usually Gagaga Bolt ). Despite such powerful effects, Gagaga Sister has no side effects, so this is a very worth playing when combined with Gagaga Magician to create monsters of Rank 3 or higher.
Gagagabolt and Dodododraw (X1-2)
Gagaga Bolt is a powerful card that can target any card on the field and destroy it as long as you control a Gagaga monster. However, Gagaga Bolt is easily bricked so you usually only bring a single card ( Partly for the reason that it can be searched by Gagaga Sister)
Extra Deck
Inzektor Exa-Beetle and Digital Bug Rhinosebus (X1)
Inzektor Exa-Beetle
ATK:
1000
DEF:
1000
2 Level 6 monsters When this card is Xyz Summoned: You can target 1 monster in either player's Graveyard; equip that target to this card. This card gains ATK and DEF equal to half the original ATK and DEF of the monster equipped by this effect. Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to target 1 face-up card on each side of the field; send those targets to the Graveyard.
Digital Bug Rhinosebus
ATK:
2600
DEF:
2200
2 or more Level 7 LIGHT Insect-Type monsters You can also Xyz Summon this card by detaching 2 Xyz Materials from a Rank 5 or 6 Insect-Type Xyz Monster you control, then using that Xyz Monster as the Xyz Material. (Xyz Materials attached to that monster also become Xyz Materials on this card.) If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent. Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; destroy the face-up monster(s) your opponent controls with the highest DEF (all, if tied).
Inzektor Exa-Beetle ( Beetle ) usually only serves as Xyz material for Digital Bug Rhinosebus ( Rhinosebus ). But sometimes the Beetle is very useful and there is no need to level up to the Rhinosebus . When Beetle is summoned, it will equip monsters from both players' graves to it and gain ATK DEF equal to half that monster's original ATK and DEF. At the same time, this effect also locks some players in the grave such as Blue-Eyes, Red-Eyes or Gaia (Curse Of Dragonfire key). And it also has a very powerful effect because it only discards 1 Xyz material, it will target 1 face-up card on the field and SEND to the grave, making non-destroyed effects useless against it.
Number 70: Malevolent Sin and Abyss Dweller (X1-2)
Number 70: Malevolent Sin
ATK:
2400
DEF:
1200
2 Level 4 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 monster your opponent controls; banish it until your opponent's next Standby Phase. At the end of the Damage Step, if this card attacked: You can make this card gain 300 ATK, and if you do, increase its Rank by 3.
Abyss Dweller
ATK:
1700
DEF:
1400
2 Level 4 monsters While this card has a material attached that was originally WATER, all WATER monsters you control gain 500 ATK. Once per turn (Quick Effect): You can detach 1 material from this card; your opponent cannot activate any card effects in their GY this turn.
Abyss Dweller is a strong card when going first and is used to face decks that trigger grave effects like Blue-Eyes or Lunalight and this grave ban effect can be used up to 2 times. However, the body of this card is quite weak (ATK 1700 DEF 1400), so sometimes the effect can only be used once before being punched to death (Blue-Eyes uses Ancient Rules, Lunalight uses Lunalight Fusion,...) but the monster This and a rank 6 or 7 monster like Photon Strike Bounzer Or Rhinosebus is something very annoying in the early turns.
Number 25: Force Focus and Photon Strike Bounzer (X1-2)
Number 25: Force Focus
ATK:
2800
DEF:
2400
2 Level 6 monsters Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 Level 5 or higher Effect Monster your opponent controls; negate the effects of that opponent's face-up monster, until the end of the turn.
Although both monsters have the ability to nagate the enemy, Force Focus proves to be superior to Photon Strike Bounzer at the present time.
Staple
Mystical Space Typhoon, Forbidden Chalice and Fiendish Chain (X2-3)
Mystical Space Typhoon is a long-standing card for the Vietnamese yugioh community, it only needs to have a meta trap instead of an effect monster for it to appear. This card itself is a quick play spell, so it can bombard the enemy spell/trap on the turn the enemy spell/trap has just turned face down, or can be used on your own turn so that the combo is not interrupted.
Cosmic Cyclone, Gagaga Cowboy and Gagaga Samurai (X1-3)
Gagaga Cowboy
ATK:
1500
DEF:
2400
2 Level 4 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; apply this effect, depending on this card's current battle position. ● Attack Position: If this card attacks an opponent's monster this turn, it gains 1000 ATK, also the opponent's monster loses 500 ATK, during the Damage Step only. ● Defense Position: Inflict 800 damage to your opponent.
Gagaga Samurai
ATK:
1900
DEF:
1600
2 Level 4 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 material from this card, then target 1 "Gagaga" monster you control; it can make a second attack during each Battle Phase this turn. When another monster you control is targeted for an attack while this card is in Attack Position: You can change this card to face-up Defense Position, and if you do, change the attack target to this card and perform damage calculation.
Cosmic Cyclone is a card often seen with Draw Sense: High Level or loose memes that like OTK with Chaos Number 39 (but more often seen with Draw Sense: High Level). Cosmic Cyclone has the ability to banish 1 spell/trap, so it can interrupt field spells or continuous spells/traps.
Combo
Combos revolve around summoning Rank 6 and Rank 4 monsters on the field and causing difficulty for the opponent

Being nerfed to the point of not being able to play the Onomatoplay skill makes combos very difficult and lame
Number 25: Force Focus, Abyss Dweller and Photon Strike Bounzer (2)
Number 25: Force Focus
ATK:

2400
2 Level 6 monsters Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 Level 5 or higher Effect Monster your opponent controls; negate the effects of that opponent's face-up monster, until the end of the turn.

Onomat in the present is both deadly and expensive, weak, and often has a deadhand. There is only one thing that can save Onomat and that is buffing the Onomatoplay skill
F2P
This is a Free To Play deck, both cheap and quite stable, suitable for those who don't want to spend too much Gem but want to experience Onomat. You can see more here
