TRANSFOR-

NO. We're not doing that.

My monster lineup is entirely standard. I debated including "Morphing Jar" and a Slingen, but I've never liked the latter, and there wasn't enough space at the end of the day for Jar. I'd have to cut a spell or trap. Which, I have no idea, hence why Jar ended up in the side.

I was much more strict about the spells this time. "Giant Trunade," "United We Stand," "Monster Gate," "Card Destruction," and "Machina Armored Unit" didn't make the cut. Trunade is very underwhelming in a deck that can't control the opponent's hand, Armored Unit doesn't fit the pace of the deck, and the rest were simply inconsistent. Even "Limiter Removal" almost didn't make it in, but the sheer power couldn't be ignored. "Junk Box" and "Machine Duplication" alongside "One for One" give the deck a lot of speed and thinning power thanks to the nature of its monsters, and they make setting up victory all the more simple. "Mind Control" is justified by the 5 tuners and all the Ryko that are running around these days. "Morphtronic Accelerator" is still just a tech card in my eyes and is working well enough at 1. Heavy, MST, and Brain are obvious staples.

The trap lineup is far more fleshed out that it used to be, chock full of defense for creating and maintaining unbreakable fields. Staples aside, "Dust Tornado" is an added out to back rows that can be chained whenever. "Return From the Different Dimension" has amazing synergy with Remoten and punishes my opponents for playing Bottomless and Prison. "Morphtronic Forcefield" is pretty incredible; it hits tons of typical main deck suspects like Bottomless, Mirror, Torrent, and it can even catch the initial activation of the dreaded "Royal Oppression" with a vengeance. Forcefield even gets bonus points for denying "Gladiator Beast War Chariot" and other similar cards. After doing so, it whips out whatever monster I need or Accelerator to continue my push.

Configuring the Extra Deck was somewhat of a challenge. A lot of old cards had to be abandoned for more practical options, such as "Chimeratech Fortress Dragon" in lieu of Machina Gadget popularity. Gottoms is amusing tech for the Remoten-Dupe play and those situations where I steal a "Goyo Guardian." Power Tool is still here just for being a machine...

"Magical Android" will likely be dropped for "Naturia Beast" in the future. "Naturia Balkion" would have to replace... the second Stardust. Landols would either not be there or would kick Chimeratech Fortress into the side deck. I'm not sure yet.

The side deck is loaded with hate for the popular decks. It should be obvious what works against what.

Have fun steamrolling players who just sit around setting things. =P
