Front line base would rock in this deck

[francis91]

Ok, what should I take out for Frontline Base?

[SKR]

question its a waste

Hello there francis91,

For what I am seeing so forth, you are starting up your very own machine deck, impressive. I checked out the cards in your deck and I can give you some advice. First up to bat, I will not interfere with your strategy about the monsters VWXYZ, after all they are important to you. First up Cyber Dragon, unless you have Cyber End Dragon, then I would not recomend you putting only 1 Cyber Dragon in your deck. You have a Blowback Dragon, how about placing Barrel Dragon in your deck and have Gattling Dragon in your Fusion, just a suggestion. Breaker is not a machine type monster, unless you are only using its effect, its not useful. Witch and Sangan will help you obatin certain machine types to your hand. Okay heres my advice, if you want, you could try to finish your opponent by adding Limiter Removal into your deck, a spell card that doubles all the atks of machine types on the field, then at the end they are destroyed, use it to finish your opponent. Black Luster Soldier in your deck, I dont agree to it, but you should put in Ancient Gear Golem for more machine destruction. Ok, I guess machines are your thing, feel free to modify your deck. Gook luck dueling out there.

Sincerelly,
Zuo Ci :D

[francis91]

Thanks for the advice!

Do you think I should put Dimension Fusion in this deck with all the removing I am doing with things like the XYZ and Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning?

[Zuo Ci]

Dear Francis91,

My advice for putting in Dimension Fusion will be a great idea, but remember 2,000 LP's is a cost to you. But since you requested Dimension Fusion, I should help you save 2,000 LP on your turn. Why not put in a spell economics card in your deck, one will help you activate spell cards without having to pay life points. I'll give you another secret weapon, Power Bond, the one which allows you to special summon a Machine Fusion Monster by sacrificing the required monsters and doubling its attack power. If you have one, becareful because you take damage equal to the original fusions monsters atk power. Unless you have Cyber Kirin in your deck, you wont need worry about life points taken from you. Okay that is my secret advice, hope my advice could help you duel.

Good Luck in Dueling,
Zuo Ci :D

Here are some changes I did:

-Machine King
+Frontline Base
+Dimension Fusion

[......]

You could also use barrel behind the door with Power bond so your opponent takes the damage instead, and if your going to have scapegoat, you might as well throw in cybernetic magician. Perfect machine king, rare metalmorph, cyber phoenix, and batteryman C wouldn't be a bad idea either.

[Ilpala271]

To everyone suggesting Power Bond: XYZ cannot be summoned with Power Bond because the player is not performing a Fusion Summon. Besides, Barrel Behind the Door can't be used with Power Bond anyway.

I'd take Machine King out, along with Question. They're definitely not cards suited to Traditional format.

[Zuo Ci]

You hear that Francis91?

He has made his point. Okay I already knew those VWXYZ fusions can only be special summoned by removing the certain lettered monsters from the field. Its kind of tricky to get it all out there, especially getting that one monster with the V-Z in it, I havent seen much duelist special summon that monster yet. Disregard the Power Bond thesis, I think it works best with Cyber End Dragon anyway. Any other suggestions from anyone can help your deck be a great machine deck. The Barrel Behind the Door with Power Bond doesn't work anyway, good try tough, I thought it works, but still it only works if you were about to receive the damage. Well then, good luck dueling!

Sincerelly,
Zuo Ci :p

[francis91]

Thanks for all the advice!
So, take out Question for maybe Graceful Charity or something else?

[Zuo Ci]

Dear Francis91,

I would suggest getting rid of question in your deck. Because one time when one of my opponents tried to special summon back Levia Dragon-Daedalus with question, I already even saw what cards he sent during his Graceful Charity, and since I got it right, he lost his best monster, he felt dissapointed after that strategy failed him. As for Graceful Charity, thats up to you, unless you want to draw more cards or discard Sinister Serpent in your hand, still this card is very useful sometimes, so i'll let you decide. Its all up to you now.

Sincerelly,
Zuo Ci :D
