Types of iFormulaX-tra Win decks[]

Large Card Draw Spell[]

It is the most obvious type of combo for the deck, based on spells that can draw a large number of cards at once.

Spells such as Parlock's Miracle Fever, Siege Network of Knowledge and Darkpact can be used to draw a large number of cards at once. With Miracle Fever, a focus on the deck being mainly single-copy of multiple cards to increase the amount of cards drawn can be used, as well as Dondon Vacuuming Now and Lifeplan Charger to set up the bottom card of your deck.

Siege Network can be used with heavyweight Zenith creatures such as Radio Roses, Zenith of "Wisdom" to draw 10~ cards at once.

Card Candidates

Recommended card:	Reason:
Parlock's Miracle Fever	Hall of Fame, Strong draw.
Siege Network of Knowledge	Strong draw.
Darkpact	Aids draw consistently.
Rasha, Satori's Wanderer	Helps iFormulaX get tapped.
Dondon Vacuuming Now Lifeplan Charger	Card advantage and search.
Forever Princess, Eternal Ruler	Deckout prevention.
Aurora of Reversal Hurricane Crawler	Combo draw.

Giovanni Gift[]

This variant uses the spell recovery effect of Giovanni the 10th, Thunder Mecha King as well as Sir Leopol Deenay, the Ice Fang and Matthew Stewart, Wild Beast as card draw and mana acceleration engines. It also uses Faerie Gift, Guard Grip and Dondon Hitting Now.

Due to the restriction of Faerie Gift and the banning of Giovanni the 10th, this deck's concept has been broken.

Card Candidates

Recommended card:	Reason:
Giovanni the 10th, Thunder Mecha King	Premium Hall of Fame Returning 1 cost spells.
Sir Leopol Deenay, the Ice Fang	Card Draw engine.
Faerie Gift	Hall of Fame 1 cost spell, reduces the cost of your creatures by 3.
Matthew Stewart, Wild Beast	Mana Acceleration engine.

Great Mecha King[]

This version intends to use Greatmarch Energy while you have multiple Great Mecha King in the battle zone to draw additional cards.

Rescue Space, Emergency Mecha is used as cost reduction, while other Great Mecha Kings are used as draw searches. With enough in the battle zone, Greatmarch Energy is then cast drawing you enough cards to win. Codename iFormulaX's is also reduced by Rescue Space.

Recommended card:	Reason:
Greatmarch Energy	Core of the deck.
Rescue Space, Emergency Mecha	Cost reduction.
Chivalrous Robo Gentleman Mecha Machine, Secret Fusion Patrol Function, Special Police Mecha	Draw.
Piccoli Coilinger, Electro-Machine King Oboro Kagerou, Moonlight Mecha	Draw and discard.

Melge Loop One-Shot[]

The deck uses Aqua Melge and Morse, Grave Robber Doll for an infinite draw combo.

Marshall Queen beatdown[]

It is a Marshall Beatdown that uses infinite draw for a loop.

1) Put Cool Beauty, Heaven's Gate and Switch Reincarnation into your shields and then back into your hand with Marshall Queen
2) With Heavens Gate, put Lord Reis, Wisdom Elemental and Truename Baulion into the battle zone.
3) Use Switch Reincarnation on Truename Baulion and return it to your hand. Put Marshal Queen into the battle zone over a Cool Beauty.
4) Draw 2 cards from Lord Reis.
5) Cool Beauty resolves and Marshall Queen is bounced.
6) Truename Baulion resolves, and Heaven's Gate and Switch Reincarnation can be recovered from your graveyard. After these steps, Cool Beauty, Heaven's Gate, Switch Reincarnation and a Truename Baulion are all returned to your hand.
7) Marshall Queen is resolved. Repeat 1 to 6 while continuing to draw extra cards from Lord Reis.
8) After you have 10 or more cards, you can use Marshall Queen with Heaven's Gate, Switch Reincarnation and Dondon Hitting Now.
9) Heaven's Gate brings out Truename Baulion.
10) Reincarnation Switch on Truename Baulion brings out Codename iFormulaX.
11) Use Dondon Hitting Now on Codename iFormulaX to tap it, and end of your turn.

If your opponent played a card such as Magnum, Allshot Puppet, you can try to remove it with Cool Beauty and Spiral Gate first.

Recommended card:	Reason:
Marshall Queen	Key combo piece.
Cool Beauty	Self Bounce.
Heaven's Gate	Brings out creatures with Blocker for no cost.
Switch Reincarnation	Swaps creatures in the battle zone.
Lord Reis, Wisdom Elemental	Card Draw.
Truename Baulion	Spell Recovery.

Lalala Optimus type[]

This type uses an infinite mana loop involving the spell recovery and mana acceleration abilities or Deis Optimus, the Invincible, Lalala Life, Faerie Trick and Courtney, Summer Breeze Faerie. However, this has become harder to pull off due to the restriction of Deis Optimus.

Recommended card:	Reason:
Deis Optimus, the Invincible Lalala Life, Faerie Trick Courtney, Summer Breeze Faerie	Mana acceleration combo.
Divine Riptide	Mass draw from your mana zone.

Q.E.D type[]

This deck aims to use Q.E.D., Dragment King to cast expensive cards such as Divine Riptide and Invincible Technology for no cost, adding more than 10 cards to your hand.

Card Candidates

Recommended card:	Reason:
Q.E.D., Dragment King	Play spells or creatures for no cost.
Divine Riptide	Total Zone Reset. Leaves you with large hand.
Invincible Technology	Limitless card draw.

Cg Daisharin type[]

This deck was introduced in the Duel Masters Deck Development SAGE Volume 9.

It uses Cg Daisharin, Dragment Symbol and Siren Concerto as a spell casting loop, where you may draw cards with Sir Leopol Deenay, the Ice Fang.

Card Candidates

Recommended card:	Reason:
Cg Daisharin, Dragment Symbol	Gives spells charger.
Siren Concerto	Mana Recovery.
Sir Leopol Deenay, the Ice Fang	Card Draw.
Divine Riptide	Field reset. Leaves you with a large hand, and 1 mana with Daisharin in the battle zone.

Weaknesses[]

All Types

Due to potential removal from Shield Trigger abilities or Ninja Strike, it is not recommended to ever attack with Codename iFormulaX and only focus on using the Alternate Win ability with Dondon Hitting Now. As the trigger for the alternate win only occurs once at the end of your turn, this can be prevented by Diehard Ryusei of Invincibility. Oni "Champion", Victory Twelve can also prove troublesome.

Large Card Draw Spell

After using Parlock's Miracle Fever or Siege Network of Knowledge you must pass the turn to your opponent. This leaves you vulnerable to Lost Soul and Volg Thunder. Purification Trap can also be used against you to shuffle your deck, changing the card on the bottom of your deck. After Parlock's Miracle Fever entered the Hall of fame on March 154, 2014, it was changed to the Darkpact variant, but caution must be paid due to self removal of your mana.

Giovanni Gift

Anti-spell cards such as Fuuma Gorgonshack, Batou Shoulder, Shadow of Fiction or Schreiber, Vizier of Strictness can slow down this deck.

Gaga Last Mysterica

As it is reanimation based, it can be weak to Purification Trap or having your Yata Izuna, Eight-Headed Parasite removed from the battle zone.

Great Mecha King

Due to the low power of the Great Mecha King used, it is vulnerable to mass removal based on power such as Bolshack Superhero or 5000GT, Riot.

Melge Loop

As Aqua Melge and Morse, Grave Robber Doll are both limited to a single copy, the combo success rate is low. It is also possible to deck yourself out due to the 8 mana required to play Codename iFormulaX and Dondon Hitting Now. Even if you use Cosmoview Lunatron and Switch Reincarnation 6 mana is still required. Like the large spell type, it is vulnerable to card discard.

Marshall Queen

This version requires multiple cards for the combo,

It requires the following 7 cards in your hand, as well as a Splash Queen in the battle zone and 3 cards in your mana zone. Cards such as Submarine Fortress Lair for additional card draw each turn can be essential.

Also, Magnum, Allshot Puppet can prevent you from looping with Marshall Queen.

LaLaLa Optimus

For basic weaknesses, see the Lalala Optimus page.
