Tri-Brigade works well with Zoodiac as an engine for being fellow Beast-Warriors Extra Deck options between Zoodiac and Tri-Brigade are outstanding Powerful cards like Drident, Barrage and Ratpier have also been unbanned recently

As with all Tri-Brigade decks, the win condition is to fill your Graveyard with Beast, Beast-Warrior, and Winged Beast monsters in a certain combinations to link summon from the graveyard instead of the field. This Tri-Brigade variant comes with the Zoodiac engine as well, making it easier to wrestle for an advantage on the board by Xyz summoning all the way up to Zeus in a single turn. You can even transition from one combo to the other during the same turn in certain situations and hands.
Once the board is yours, maintain the position with powerful hand traps and link summons that negate, destroy, or banish the opponent's key plays and combos while you finish them off with boss monsters such as Tri-Brigade Shuraig the Ominous Omen and Accesscode Talker.
This opener comes revolves around your Tri-Brigade engine starting with Fraktall on your hand with one more Tri-Brigade. This combo ends with Appollousa and Tri-Brigade Revolt on your board for the Turn 2 OTK.
1 | Activate Fraktall's effect from your hard. Send Kitt to the Graveyard. Activate Kitt's effect to send Nervall to the Graveyard. Fetch either Kerass or Fraktall from your deck. |
---|---|
2 | Normal summon a Tri-Brigade monster on the board and activate it's summoning effect. Perform a Link 2 Summon to bring Ferrijit on the board. |
3 | Activate Ferrijit's effect to summon another Tri-Brigade monster from your hand. Tribute Ferrijit and your old Tri-Brigade monster to summon Bearbrumm (never tribute the one you just summoned). |
4 | Activate the new Tri-Brigade monster's effect to summon either Double Dragon or Hraesvelgr. Summon Apollousa with all three monsters on the board afterward. Activate Bearbrumm's Graveyard effect to fetch Tri-Brigade Revolt from your deck to your hand. Set the trap on the field. |
The follow-up to your Apollousa opener from Turn 1. This can be done regardless if you used the Fraktall or Rescue Cat version.
1 | Activate Tri-Brigade Revolt on the Opponent's End Turn, taking at least four monsters from the Graveyard or Banish. Summon Shuraig and activate it's effect to banish an opponent's card if necessary. |
---|---|
2 | Normal summon any Tri-Brigade Monster from your hand. Activate it's effect and Link 3 Summon Rugal. You can activate Shuraig's banish effect again if necessary once Rugal is summoned. |
3 | Link 4 Summon Accesscode Talker with Rugal and the Tri-Brigade Monster you used to summon it. Boost Accesscode Talker's attack using Rugal. |
4 | Open up the opponent's side of the board with Accesscode Talker's effect if necessary. Finish the game by directly attacking with Shuraig and Accesscode Talker (8300 damage total). |
This combo uses the Zoodiac engine to perform a series of Xyz Summons all the way up to Zeus. This will only work if the board state is in a way that your Zoodiac Drident can declare an attack and survive. Get your hand traps ready or simply hold the line until an opening emerges before attempting this combo.
1 | Summon a Zoodiac monster from your hand (Preferrably Whiptail or Thoroughblade). Activate it's effect to start the XYZ summoning train with your Zoodiac monsters from the Extra Deck. The order doesn't necessarily matter as long as you finish with Zoodiac Drident. |
---|---|
2 | Attack with Zoodiac Drident. Remember that this monster must survive in order to finish the combo. |
3 | Transition to Main Phase 2 and XYZ summon Zeus. Activate it's effect to send every card on the board to the Graveyard. |

Most budget replacements for Zoo Tri-Brigade decks are often from the Main Deck as the Extra Deck is extremely crucial to the win-condition. Most of these budget options may not be as efficient as the cards they're replacing, but they can still be extremely potent against certain deck matchups — specifically against decks that rely on heavy card draw and monster effects.
Eldlich decks in general are great against Zoodiac Tri-Brigade because of their powerful traps and ability for Eldlich to remind in play if protected well. Traps such as Gozen Match, Rivalry of Warlords, and Skill Drain can easily break combos or prevent them from even getting started in the first place. Eldlich itself can pressure the board and perform its own OTK combo when the opportunity arises.

Gravekeeper's is another control deck that can stop your Tri-Brigade engine from the start, preventing key combos that lead towards your win-condition. This deck's ability to prevent the usage of the Graveyard with Necrovalley means that you'll be restricted to your Zoodiac combos for the majority of the match.
