Notes & Combos

Finally got to Master V with the most awesome machine deck. Why yes I am very biased how did you know? ;-)

Pretty normal R.B. list I think. Girsu is the best normal summon, followed by Cyanos. Goal is as always with R.B. to get two monsters on board, but if you can just sort of go in circles for a second and draw out the effect veiler/imperm early that can be super useful. Does stop you from playing around Nibiru with lambda cannon before 5 summons but currently Nib is less played then the other two.

Ideal endboard looks similar to most R.B. boards, one or two weapons depending on their hand, Shepards Crook to recur one after stuff starts popping, a set trap (usually Next Phase), field spell, and Brute Blues.

Interaction on opponents turn is layered and at least for me has to be sort of seat of the pants choice making. Did love bringing lambda blade from grave on their turn to mill Last Stand for that extra negate.

Going second is similar enough, just try to get through their negates then get two machines down and go to town. Can be harder with this version, I swapped out the non-droplet breakers mid way through diamond for better consistency since the deck can brick even with the multiple starters. But with how quick you can OTK on like two cards often you're fine to just extend for days.

Dimension Shifter can hurt you due to losing the traps and stage landing, be careful to not burn all of them if you can. No way to recover from banish. But it does hurt other decks worse cough kewl tune cough so often seemed worth the squeeze.
