TeleDAD... or was it?

No, this is not Teleport Dark Armed Dragon. I consider it dead after Malicious goes to 2. Why was it called TeleDAD anyway - Plaguespreader was pretty much the main tuner after it was released and some did not even ran Teleport during that time.

This has been sitting on my draft for quite a while and I'm a bit hesitant to post this without extensive testing. However, since there've been a lack of post during the last few days due to school commitment, figured it might be necessary to post something decent

2 Armageddon Knight
2 Mystic Tomato
2 Effect Veiler
2 Destiny Hero - Plasma
2 Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude
1 Destiny Hero - Doom Lord
1 Elemental Hero Stratos
1 Dark Armed Dragon
1 Dark Grepher
1 Sangan
1 Necro Gardna
1 Spirit Reaper
1 Plaguespreader Zombie
1 Gorz the Emissary of Darkness

2 Creature Swap
2 Destiny Draw
2 Over Destiny
1 Allure of Darkness
1 Heavy Storm
1 Dark Hole
1 Monster Reborn
1 Book of Moon
1 Mystical Space Typhoon
1 Scapegoat
1 Reinforcement of the Army

2 Compulsory Evacuation Device
2 Torrential Tribute
2 Solemn Warning
1 Solemn Judgment

While the past TeleDAD operated with aim to perform double synchro summon, this deck is more in tune with current meta, forgoing the LV8 Synchros in favor of Rank 4 XYZ summon, thus dropping the often volatile Destiny Hero - Malicious.

This variant is made possible by one card - Over Destiny. The whole deck is structured to support Over Destiny and even a high utility card , the likes of Tour Guide, wasn't picked in favor for the more synergy-friendly Tomato engine. The plan is to get Plasma to the Graveyard as soon as possible to bring Over Destiny online. Once Plasma is in the grave, you can do a lot of fun thing with Over Destiny.

Creature Swap is amazing here and while it can be used with either of Tomato or Over Destiny, the best play you can do is to combine both : summon Diamond Dude with Over Destiny, use his effect, followed by Swapping your Tomato, and attacking it with Diamond Dude.

Dark Grepher is almost the equivalent of Bubbleman.(In fact, I've tried a variant with triple Grepher and Trade-In which is a bit inconsistent). You can summon Stratos, get Plasma, dump it to Special Summon Dark Grepher and proceed to Rank 4. Also, most of the Level 4 in this deck is a Warrior which allow for access to Heroic Champion - Excalibur and Blade Armor Ninja.

I probably don't need to elaborate on how brilliant Over Destiny is with Leviair and what a difference can Lavalval Chain makes. Barring a Veiler, opening up with Over Destiny and Armageddon Knight is going to set your Graveyard to 3 Darks, and a 2nd turn DAD.
