Dinosaur King Trading Card Game

Alpha Dinosaurs Make their Move!

Dr. Z and the Alpha Gang have unleashed an army of powered-up Alpha Dinosaurs, and they’re heading straight for your deck! You can find these amazing new Alpha Dinosaurs in packs of Alpha Dinosaurs Attack. In the last few articles, you got a peek at some Alpha Dinos and some Dinosaurs that combo with them. But Dinosaur King isn’t just about Dinosaurs—it takes the right Moves to win you the game.

 

The Alpha Gang knows that, and they’re ready with some Alpha-only Move cards to back up your Alpha Dinosaurs, like Alpha Dice. Just like the Alpha Dinosaurs, this Move is unpredictable, but it can be very powerful. The Power bonus your Dinosaur gets depends on the level of the first Dinosaur you find in your deck. If you get a level 5 or 6 Dinosaur, Alpha Dice gives a massive +1000 Power bonus—that’s as much as the strongest Super Moves!

 

Of course, just like with the Alpha Dinosaurs themselves, you can use other cards to stack your deck and make sure you get the biggest bang from your Alpha Dice. Peaceful Patagosaurus is a good one, because you can be sure you’re putting a level 5 or 6 on top of your deck.

 

The Alpha Gang will use any method to win, and that includes goofy pranks! Banana Trap lets you trip up one of your opponent’s Dinosaurs, sending it to the top of their deck. Banana Trap is really good against Wind Dinosaurs that can attack twice if they win a battle, like Majungasaurus and Rugops from Colossal Team Battle. Sending them back to your opponent’s deck takes away their free attack!

 

Because they have their own Moves, it’s easy to make an Alpha Dinosaur deck with the best Alphas from each Element. Grab some packs of Alpha Dinosaurs Attack and see what you can put together. There are even more awesome Alpha Dinosaurs and Moves waiting to be discovered—it’s time to make your Move!
