Find my deck style
What kind of deck do you want to play?
Pick one or more. Your answers filter the deck styles below — every style still opens in the Builder as a card pool, not as a finished deck.
No ranking is involved: each answer maps straight onto a verified mechanic in the card data.
Deck archetypes
Every style is rebuilt from the current card data: candidate cards come from the verified effect graph, and the evolution lines are the ones the candidate cards actually sit on.
Mill

Community
What players are trying in Version 1.0
1.0 is still new, so these are the directions players are publicly experimenting with. Every link goes to the sourced community notes behind it.
Community experiments, not a ranked meta. No win rate is implied.

Non-evolving Basic deck list
A player shared a Basic list built from Tetramon that do not evolve, using discard and recovery effects instead of an evolution line, and described testing it in friendly matches.

Shield-focused build
A player described a shield build that leans on shield generation and recovery, including a Terradrakon interaction, and listed which cards they kept after testing.

Mill and discard setups
The same 1.0 thread collects mill, discard and draw experiments, with players describing what they changed as they tested the new card pool.

Learning the card pool through evolution chains
A deck-building thread recommends grouping cards by evolution line and starting from one simple deck while learning the pool in AI matches.

Provenance
How these deck ideas are built
A deck idea on this site is a structured starting point, not a copied deck list and not a tier ranking.
Game-authored archetypes
Version 1.0 contains internal deck definitions such as Mill Deck and QuickEvo. They are used as evidence that a strategy exists. None is reproduced as a deck list: every seed is re-checked against the player rules first, and a seed that breaks them stays internal.
Structured card data
Candidate cards are selected from the verified effect graph and the validated evolution graph. A card appears because its Play Effect contains the action, and the amount, target and follow-up steps are shown next to it.
Sourced community examples
Recent player experiments are listed with their source, their date and their game version, and labelled as player-reported. They are never merged into the card data.
These pages organize current card effects, evolution relationships, game-authored strategy seeds and clearly labelled community examples. They are not presented as global win-rate rankings, because no verified match data exists for this build.
Common deck questions
What deck should I start with?
Pick by what you want to manage, not by a ranking. A Basic deck never needs an earlier evolution stage, a draw or search deck gives up early tempo for consistency, and an evolution deck needs a complete chain. The three starting points above describe each trade-off.
Compare the starting points →Do I need evolution cards in my deck?
No. Standalone Tetramon never evolve, and a deck can be built from them alone. Evolution only becomes a requirement when you choose a card that evolves from another card, because that earlier stage has to be in the deck to play it.
See the Basic style →Is there a Mill deck?
Yes. Version 1.0 ships an internal Mill Deck definition, and mill is a verified Play Effect action with a real card pool behind it. The Mill page shows the candidates, the evolution lines they sit on and how to open them in the Builder.
Explore Mill →Are Basic decks viable?
Non-evolving Basic builds are a real, publicly discussed direction in 1.0, and the current data contains a large standalone card pool to build from. Those reports are individual players in individual games, so this site does not derive a win rate from them.
Explore Basic →What is the best deck?
There is no verified match data for this build, so no honest global ranking exists and this site does not publish one. Instead, choose by how you want the deck to play, then compare the mechanics, candidate cards and evolution load of the styles that fit.
Find my deck style →How do I build one of these decks?
Open the style you picked and use Build this style. The Deck Builder opens with that card pool filtered, and you still choose the 50 cards yourself. Copy limits, evolution gaps and effect coverage are checked as you build.
