Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude has a very interesting and awesome card effect. This card potential can be bring forth greatly if you construct your deck with the correct cards. Which definitely I'm refering to normal spell of course.
Diamond Dude reveal the top cards and will apply either one of below effects depending on the type of cards revealed.
Normal Spell : send it to grave and you may activate it in your next turn
Aside from Normal Spell (including other Spell) : return to bottom of the deck and nothing else happens.
The best part is that most of this spell card will have a devastating effect if send to grave by Dude's effect. Below is the list of some normal spell cards that usually pack into Diamond Dude's deck and its effect if triggered by Dude's effect.
- A Feather of the Phoenix - Return 1 card in your graveyard to the top of your deck

Above is just some example of the what will happen if those cards is sent to graveyard by Dude's effect. Some of them will have their limitation or sidebacks removed. For example, You can still special summon or activate another Pot of Duality during the turn Pot of Duality is activated via Dude's effect. Same case applies for Pot of Benevolence and Cards for Black Feathers.
Cost is not needed whereas Lightning Vortex can just destroy all face up monster opponent controls without discarding 1 card. Same applies for Dark Core, Monster Reincarnation, Destiny Draw, Trade-In and Megaton Magical Cannon.
Condition to activate cards does not need to be met such as Des Croaking, Short Circuit and Ojama Delta Hurricane. The condition only need to be met to allow you to activate those card from your hand, which is why, if sent to graveyard via Dude's effect, those condition is no longer need to be met, it will just execute its actual card effect which is destroy all cards opponent controls. Remember, there's a different between condition to activate cards and condition to resolve effects. Easy example is Saber Slash. Originally Saber Slash destroys face up cards equal to the number of X-Saber monster you control in attack position. You need at least 1 attack position X-Saber monster in order to activate it. however, it also need at least 1 attack position X-Saber monster in order to resolve its effect since that the number of cards will be destroyed is depending on the number of X-Saber monster in attack position.
Best support for Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude is Convulsion of Nature where each player will have to play their decks upside down revealing every card before they're drawn. So you know what card will your opponents draw and vice versa. However, you get to know when is the accurate time to activate Dude's effect. Using cards like A Feather of the Phoenix and Plaguespreader Zombie is also recommended as you can tamper the the top card of your deck. Excess normal spell cards that was drawn can be use as discard fodder for Summoner Monk to swarm your field for synchro, xyz or search for Diamond Dude.

Diamond Dude turbo deck focus mainly on Diamond Dude. Thus, don't have any specific synchro, fusion or xyz monster that need to be put. Mostly any Level 6, 8 or 10 synchos or any rank 4 xyz is good enough.
You can switch between the effect of Doomsday Horror and The Beginning of the End. The Beginning of the End can remove excess dark monster in your grave so that the condition of having exactly 3 dark monster in your grave is met so Dark Armed Dragon can be summon. Doomsday Horror can be use to return all banished dark monster back to grave so, condition of Summoning The Dark Creator is met. Also, if you manage to summon Dark Armed Dragon, you can use its effect to remove 1 dark monster to destroy your Doomsday Horror so that all other dark monster will return to your grave allowing for more destruction via Dark Armed Dragon's effect.
