Your MVP is rescue rabbit. If you open with one then you’re off to a good start. You would normally go for 2 Kabazulas, as they have 1700 ATK (and hence saving the 1900 ATK beaters until later). Attacking directly with the vanillas is tempting, but very risky. Usually you would go for evolsaur laggia first turn. Jurrac Guaiba is self explanatory. Tour guide from the underworld can be used to make Leviair the sea dragon (to recycle a banished rescue rabbit) or wind-up zenmaines (for defence). The vanillas are prone to destruction cards, such as torrential tribute and bottomless trap hole, this is where forbidden lance is handy. It can also be used to lower the ATK of your opponents’ monsters, so it can be run over.
You run 3 rescue rabbits, but 2 sets of vanillas, so pot of avarice recycles those (normal dinos).
This deck is a popular choice, as its overall pretty solid (both main board + siding ability). Nevertheless its weaknesses include maxx “c” (halts most plays), snowman eater (kills laggias and vanillas), rivalry of warlords/ gozen match (stops you from xyz into laggias/dolkkas), etc. This deck’s bad matchups are those decks that can spam huge beaters easily, e.g. Malefic Geartown decks
Sample plays:
Hand #1: 1 rescue rabbit, 2 solemn warning, 1 tour guide from the under world, 1 jurrac Guaiba, 1 kabazuls.
Play #1: Summon rescue rabbit (retain priority to activate its effect), special summon 2 kabazuls, XYZ evosaul laggia, set warning, end.
