[Deck] Photon Machine Swarm

Hi everyone, so here's a new concept deck that I have been trying out recently. No, I have not had the chance to take it to tournaments yet though casual play results have proved pretty promising so I decided to post it up. I present to you... Photon Machine Swarm!

So how does the deck work? Basically it involves you field flooding your way to success using Machine Duplication! Main combo of the deck here involves gaining advantage through your old duplication favourites such as Trooper, Cyber Valley and of course the new addition, Photon Satellite!

Photon Satellite adds many possibilities. With just 2 or more Satellites, here are some things that you can make.

Using 2 Satellites:
Rank 2 or Rank 4 monster -> Highest profit through Gigant X to search for more delicious stuff

 Using 3 Satellites:
Rank 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 monster -> Adreus to hit set cards, Tiras for field destruction, of course you can still make Gigant X to filter deck, Volca to hit opp monsters then into Gaia for massive damage, Zenmaines / Crimson Ninja to defend, Leviair for more love with the last unused satellite (Condition to be another Photon / rank 2 only), endless possibilities

The fun gets even more when you have other Photons on the field with your 3 Satellites! (Not going to put up the exceeds choices since there are really too many)

 Using Photon Lizard / Pirate with 3 Satellites
2 Rank 4s / 2 Rank 5s / 1 Rank 6 while keeping Pirate on the field to use

Using Photon Thrasher with 3 Satellites -> Obvious and best choice since you can sp summon, search using Lizards and Reinforcements etc
1 Rank 5 + 1 Rank 4 / 2 Rank 6s / 1 Rank 5 + 1 Rank 3
-> Pleiades + Gigant X for awesome starting field anyone?
-> Heck, even 1 Thrasher + 1 Satellite makes Pleiades / random cool rank 5

This deck really gives alot of strong exceeds for you to use. With access to Pleiades and Paladios as their strong light exclusive exceeds, the deck has several great exceeds for you to use. I am still contemplating between Omega and Crimson Ninja since both essentially do the same thing.

The deck is rather stable despite the Machine Duplications since the use of Satellites gives you Gigant X so somehow starting with multiple Dups in hand actually turns out to be a good hand in this deck. Furthermore Lizard + Accel to fetch Lizard makes fetching Satellites really easy. Even if you dont have Photons, Card Troopers and Valleys ensure you draw into your combo components quickly. Further more, with Photon Trident acting as a pseudo atk mod trap + m/t removal in 1 which all the Photons in the deck helps you to clear out opponent's traps easily to ensure your combos do go through.

Return from DD is tech-ed in this deck, considering the Cyber Valleys and Photon Pirates existence. Which even though there is only 1 Pirate, with the Lizards / Accel / Gigant X combo (Yes Pirate is a machine!) all fetching for the pirate, getting Pirate on field is easy. From there, just remove your 2 pieces of Silver and Return from DD for profit!
(My original idea involved using T.Gs for special summoning, while having enough darks for BLS to use but I decided to just use Cyber Valleys since T.G somehow didnt work out very well for me)
-> Sorry, Photon Pirate is OCG only so far, so TCG readers may want to tech out the Return from DD.

Lastly, I must say draw power is really pretty high in this deck. Cyber Valleys provide you stall + draw, Troopers provide mill + draw, together with Gigant X providing search, hand size is typically not a major issue.

Thats about it for my latest deck. The deck is still a new concept by me, so far I see everyone trying their best to use the Galaxy Eyes to try and do the Neo Galaxy Eyes otk but it is far too unstable for my liking. So what do you think? Feel free to comment on the deck and even suggest any ideas!
