Yesterday, I posted an article regarding how amazing the new Structure Deck would be. With a couple of hours play testing in the new Nintendo DS game "Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2010: Reverse of Arcadia", I was able to tweak and adjust certain techs in the deck that makes it a lot more effective than what I had conjured yesterday.


The first card that needs explaining in this build is "Machina Force". Basically a dead draw early game, its purpose is just to become a discard fodder to Special Summon "Machina Fortress". The card is perfect for searching with using "Machina Gearframe", when you already have one "Machina Fortress" in your Graveyard. This might sound like a lame tech, but Special Summoning "Machina Fortress" by just discarding just one card is a force to be reckoned with.


"Machina Peacekeeper"'s count in the deck is reduced because it ends up becoming dead draw when drawn together in the open. The card is perfect at two for the right balance of being "Creature Swap" fodder and "Machina Gearframe" target. "Machina Sniper" and "Machina Soldier" were removed to make room for the better search candidate in "Machina Force". Be careful with timing issues faced in the deck with multiple search effects activating all at the same time-this will be discussed later in this article.


I personally wanted a Synchro Mechanic in the deck, so I teched a "Quick-Span Knight", the best EARTH Machine tuner in the whole game. He is a good search target for "Machina Armored Unit" after all. Coupled with it is "Quillbot Hedgehog", which can be sent from the Graveyard from the deck via "Scrap Recycler" as well as a "Machina Armored Unit" target, it also serve as boost for "Quick-Span Knight" for emergency Syncho-ing. With nearly every monster in the deck being EARTH attribute, "Naturia" Synchros are very easy to make. Since the TCG does not have "Quick-Span Knight" yet in their cardpool, they can opt to use "Iron-Chain Coil" as replacement instead. Hey, it runs over "Sangan". These sets of tech can be truncated if you wish, as I sometimes encounter it clashing with my face up "Royal Oppression".


With an a very large hand size all the time thanks to easy +1s, "Tragoedia" is a no brainer and is definitely a great addition to the deck. Those Gadgets can help feed "Tragoedia"'s effect to steal your opponent's level 4 monsters for free. He also stops OTKs as well. Three copies is definitely great in the deck, but with March 1's list, I left it at 1.

Since most of the deck's cards effects to search each other out are not mandatory effects, they might clash each other with timing, often one card missing the timing. A way to play around this is by choosing which effect you want to activate, and purposely missing the others. Please be careful on what effect you wish to activate. Also, "Machina Armored Unit" can only activate its effect once per turn. This is also worth noting to avoid making certain misplays.

With the new March 2010 list annihilating "Lightsworn" dominance, seats for the next top meta decks are again for the taking. In a slower format compared to the last two, this format gives ample room for Gadgets to rise from the grave. With "Structure Deck 18: Machina Mayhem" being available pretty soon, EARTH Machine type monsters get a tremendous boost far beyond what is expected of it.


First things first. Machina utilize their own version of "Elemental Hero Stratos", "Machina Gearframe". This baby comes in a 1800 attack body that searches any "Machina" Monster from your Deck to your hand. This alone warrants the deck huge amounts of +1 for feeding to the archetype's new boss: "Machina Fortress"


And you thought Structure Deck boss cards suck. This boss revolutionizes the Ultra Rare from Structure Decks and puts the others to shame. This boss is easily Special Summoned by discarding itself and a, say, Gadget(which you conveniently got from another Gadget to begin with). The card is almost a guaranteed one for one. Destroying it by battle results in a card in your opponent's side of the field gone, and destruction via effect means a card in his hand is discarded.

Machines get their own version of "Black Whirlwind" in "Machina Armored Unit". This card allows your monsters that hits the Grave via destruction through battle be a ticket to be able to Special Summon from the deck any EARTH Machine type monster with less attack than it. Never again will "Creature Swap" become +0 with this card. In fact, after destroying your own swapped creature, you can still search a Monster from your deck since the monster destroyed will hit your grave. And if the monster is "Machina Peacekeeper", its effect activates and you get a Machine monster from your deck, with a "Card Trooper" or "Oilman" Special Summoned free of charge. The deck generates +1s like crazy, its not even funny.

"Shreddder" serves as an accurate "Snipe Hunter" when needed, with the flipside that it cannot destroy cards in the back row. "Oilman" is a good "Machina Armored Unit" target, which helps the cards flowing to your hand and protecting your monsters all at the same time. As usual, "Royal Oppression" wrecks "Gladiator Beast" and other match ups that rely too much on Special Summoning.

Last but not the least, this deck is a budget deck player's best friend. The deck just needs three of those Structure decks to almost complete with a little added tech here and there. That's definitely one thing to look forward to.

Feel free to change and add or remove personal techs that you might think are useful. Here are some quick suggestions: "Shrink" helps your gadgets plow through high attack monsters. "Dark Bribe" protects your significant back row from harm. "Starlight Road" might be essential and helps contribute to the theme, which is to generate as much card advantage as possible. "Smashing Ground", coupled with "Fissure" would turn the deck around to traditional gadgets. A myriad of possible card choices are available for this theme. The rest is up to you to figure out.

Warrior's Strike, Stardust Overdrive and Hidden Asernal is just around the corner.

Basically the goal of the deck is to swarm your Graveyard with Zombies and use and reuse them for Black Brutdrago. This set has the potential to inflict significant amounts of damage in a single turn. The bad part is that this deck is totally crippled when the Graveyard is disabled with cards like Necrovalley. Nothing a good Side can't help circumvent.

I haven't tested the build myself, but what's important is that I convey the idea to you and you adjust it based on your preference. Fixes are also welcome.

At a glance, this deck looks like a bunch of random throw-ins, but when you actually try and test it out, it works like a charm. The goal is to first set up and stall with Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter or Card Trooper at the start of the Duel to fill up your graveyard with those Tuningwares and speed up the deck, then Synchro Summon them with either Junk Synchron or Debris Dragon.

This is actually the deck I am using in my Yu-Gi-Oh Stardust Accelerator 2009 for the DS, minus Ancient Fairy Dragon and Max Warrior(I run Speed Warrior instead). I am actually thinking of running Necro Gardna but seeing that Black Rose Dragon is going to be Limited on September 1, Synchroing for it with Debris Dragon will be limited, although Ancient Fairy Dragon is going to replace it as the easier 'Dragon' level 7 Synchro.

On a last note, the deck is actually modeled to somehow replicate Yusei's Deck on the anime, hence the existence of Turbo Warrior, which in turn is a coincidentally a good Monarch counter. Also, Scrap-Iron Scarecrow works wonders against Gladiator Beasts, especially on the early game.

Random Dark Simorgh Deck

Original Wind Winged Beast type by far is one of the many unsupported monster types in the OCG/TCG along with Sea Serpents, Dinosaurs and others. I wonder when will be its turn to see some light in the tournament scene?

Dark Simorgh

Winged Beast/Effect
This card's Attribute is also treated as WIND. You can Special Summon this card from your hand by removing from play 1 DARK monster and 1 WIND monster in your Graveyard. You can remove from play 1 DARK monster and 1 WIND monster from your hand to Special Summon this card from your Graveyard. Your opponent cannot Set (or flip face-down) any cards.

Basically the goal of the deck is to quickly summon Dark Simorgh and lock down your opponent's Spell and Trap cards with the help of Anti-Spell Fragrance. Synchro Summon Black Wing Armor Master as soon as possible with Anti-Spell Fragrance set and use Swallow's Nest for Dark Simorgh. Activate Anti-Spell Fragrance afterwards. Hopefully that would put an end to the duel with victory in your hands.

So, what do you guys think should I add or drop in this deck? As I do not have the all the cards, I cannot try and test the deck in actual duels. Constructive comments and criticism is greatly appreciated.
