If you can get Dimensional Fissure of Macrocosmo onto the field. D.D. Survivor can be tributed for bigger monsters or even used to attack. It won't be affected by Bottomless, Sak Armor, WideSpread, Mirror Force because it'll just come back.

Totally Abusable? Yes. The new Treeborn? Heck no. This combo is good and all, but with most people running either 2-3 dust tornados and double mobius, Macrocosmo won't last that long on the field.

Then again, we're allowed 3 Macrocosmos and 3 Dimensional Fissures....

But the fact that you have to have this grand setup is a restriction in of itself. Sure, it's basically a tribute engine that works wonders when pulled off, but it is relatively hard to pull off all the time.

What's so hard when 9 cards out of the deck can be used in the combo. Treeborn frog has restictions like no M/t, the limit of the card itself, and not of any use when removed from play.
An ALO deck has only 3 Legendary Oceans yet its always pulled off...

What's hard about it?

Well, in my experience, not all the cards come at once. And if it does, then for some reason, the Monarchs don't come as continuously as I'd want to abuse the reoccurring DD Survivor. And let's not forget the opportunities to draw the same cards when they are not needed. I never added 3 copies of all those cards in my deck, but it were done, that's also a possibility.

I have to agree with 32 on this (nickname for 4x8 =P lol).

It may seem easier to pull off by using multiples of each card, but that only causes another, separate restriction on the combo.

As great as it sounds, actually pulling it off is another thing all together.

I also wouldn't want to use Dimensional Fissure and/or Macro Cosmos and D. D. Survivor JUST for a Treeborn Froggish move either.

We are also allowed 3 Trunades, 3 Tornados, 1 MST, 1 Heavy Storm, 1 Breaker, 3 Skill Drain, 1 Jinzo, 3 Royal Commands: Most of which you WILL see in any deck or sidedeck combined.

Good luck.

Can't forget 3 Mobius the Frost Monarch as well....

Pretty much. With all the removal that we have today (and temporary removal like Trunades) it's very easy to get your combo killed, and then if it was running nicely before your opponent killed it, you might have a hand full of useless monarchs.

The only thing to say about DDS is that he will be used more in side decks and maybe main decks thanks to MC decks.

Only if Macro Cosmos ends up actually being a very feared Deck in big tournaments....until then, it probably won't be seen all that much except for the Macro Cosmos Decks themselves...

Which I think it will. Just give it time. And outside Macro Cosmos, DD Survivor will still see play. Return from the DD decks and some Strike Ninja can still use him. No need for Macro Cosmos to make this a good card.

Yeah...I'm HOPING it will actually (Macro Cosmos Decks) since it could actually make the meta change a bit

But then again, a Macro Cosmos deck is just another version of a Return from the DD deck (probably even less effective since the opponents monster will be removed, only for them to return via Return from the DD, or more effective since the likes of Sangan won't go to the Grave). So I doubt this may change the meta too much.
