Influx of machine love from Konami

Not much posts from me since I was back from Vegas, or rather more like none at all, simply cause work life is crappy, working weekends non stop. At least worked hard to keep the FB page active, but blog really takes abit more effort simply because of the amount of thought and time taken into each post, but hoping I will have more time now that the busy period at work is over.

And while I was away from the blog, Konami has been busy spreading machine love into YGO, making me a very happy man lol. Lets share some of these things shall we?

Cyber Dragon SD was announced! Dream come true lol. Though so far the deck has not released anything extremely exciting yet. Cyber Dragon Nova does not look very abusable. If only it allowed banishing Cyber Dragon from the opponent's field as well, it would have its own Chimeratech Fortress defence mechanism. But no, they had to make a new boss, which has the same old weakness anyway. 

Anyway, looking forward to the announcements of the other cards still, hopefully something good will come out of the other new cards. This releases in December!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Toy Knight is another delicious card for me. With an effect like Mandragora, this card is pretty imbal together with Genex Ally Birdman (Which got restricted with the Divine Wind combo damn). Just sp 1 copy, Birdman bounce it back, then normal/special it again, along with whatever extra copies you have. 

This card kinda functions like Cyber Dragon, but would work better in Geargia / Gadget based decks, simply because both have no level 5s lol. Furthermore, being the typical Earth attribute means no issues with the more trap based versions going with Gozen match (Still good against the new version of Dragon Rulers). This has just been released~

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can anyone say, Machine type Gorz? Snow Plow is a pretty decent card, considering you can sp summon it for practically no cost (Just use chainable traps). Though it has a restriction of only letting you special summon machine type monsters after that, this card will probably be used just to summon either Gustav Max or Gangaridai. Not to mention this card is level 10, meaning its an easy choice to stuff into Machina based decks to summon Fortress.

Also out in the 3DS promos are Night Express Knight and Special Schedule. These cards are looks like they would fit best as a level 10 Xyz deck mostly, though I'm sure alot of people will play Night Express Knight as another Barbaros in Skill Drain decks. Sad that the confirmed effect does not allow it to be special summoned from the deck but it would be too strong otherwise too.

Special Schedule is another interesting card, though other then the cards released with it, the only thing it can basically revive is Antique Gear Dragon. Sure it has other possible targets like T.G Blade Buster, but not like anyone would use this in that deck anyway. Anyway looks like it could possibly fit inside a Machina deck as well, considering you can stuff it in together with Snow Plow and they would pretty much fit.

And lastly the new Geargia cards due for release in . Geargiattacker is pretty cool, despite its low defense. Once you set it, your opponent will be not sure if they should attack or not, due to the existence of Geargiamor. If they guess wrongly and attack / dont attack, they could get flooded soon. 

The other card, Geargiano MK-III, carries tons of potential with it, through Geargiagear. With MK-III, Geargiagear basically summons 3 instead of 2. 1 card Shock Master anyone? Furthermore with the Geargia Karakuri decks....

Geargiagear + Lv 4 tuner in hand

1. Geargiagear resolves, sp 2 Geargiano MK-III
2. Both Geargiano MK-III effects resolves, special summon any level 4 Geargia

3. On your turn, summon level 4 tuner
4. Synchro 3 Bureidos + Strategist / 2 Bureido + 1 Burei and then Haipa, draw 3/2

Geargiagear + lv 4 tuner = 

3 Bureidos + Strategist + 3 draws for 8900 attack or

2 Bureidos + Burei + Haipa + 2 draws for 10300 attack

Geargiagear + Geargiaccelerator in hand

1. Geargiagear resolves, sp 2 Geargiano MK-III
2. Both Geargiano MK-III effects resolves, special summon any level 4 Geargia

3. On your turn, Xyz 2 of them into Gear Gigant X, search for Birdman

4. Bounce Accelerator for Birdman, then sp Accelerator again

5. Synchro 3 Bureidos + Strategist / 2 Bureido + 1 Burei and then Haipa, draw 3/2

Exact same outcome as above, just that you have 1 extra Gigant X for another extra 2300 attack.

So yes, Baha is accusing me of paying off Konami what with the recent love for machines appearing everywhere while im just at a lost at what deck I should build. Any ideas on what i should build for now?

Not to mention seems kinda weird cause by the time i build a deck and playtest it, it would be October and OCG side is already preparing for the next banlist due in November. Even worse is in November i will be just waiting for the Machine Troopers duelist set to be released with the new Geargia stuff lol.

Ah well, thats it for my post today. Hope you enjoyed this machine deck lover post~
