Cyber Support: Invasion of the Mechanical Dragons

[BGMaxie]

Greetings. This time I'm bringing my latest inspiration. Somehow the idea came to me, thinking about Cyberdark and CyDra and I thought........how about we tie Cybers to all of them in some fun way? And then this product came up. I'll let you see better for yourself, it will turn out nicely ;)

[spoiler=The Cyberification Begins]

2 or more Level 7 monsters

(This card is also always tretead as a LIGHT Machine monster.) 

You can also Xyz Summon this card by using 2 or more Level 5 LIGHT Machine monster, but if you do, this card's Rank becomes 5 and its original ATK becomes 2100. Once per turn: You can Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or side of the field as Fusion Materials. Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; add 1 DARK Dragon OR 1 LIGHT Machine monster from your Deck or GY to your hand. 

Note: The reason why it was chosen is because of the Atticus-Zane friendship. And so both Decks get a new toy to enjoy. This monster provides searching along with the ability to easy Fusing. What's best of it, is that it requires no material for fusing, so you can revive him and use him, as per New Master Rules.

1 LIGHT Tuner monster + 1 or more LIGHT non-Tuner monsters.

(This card is also always tretead as a LIGHT Machine monster.) 

You can also Synchro Summon this card as a Level 6 monster by using LIGHT Machine monster as non-Tuner Synchro Materials, but if you do, its original ATK becomes 2100. When this card is Special Summoned: You can add 1 "Polymerization" from your Deck or GY to your hand. LIGHT Machine monsters you control, cannot be destroyed by your opponent's card effects. Once per turn, if you would Fusion Summon, you can banish monsters from your GY as Fusion Materials.

 

Note: This one was chosen due to CyDra being the spiritual successors of Blue-Eyes. BE.dek is full of LIGHT Tuners and using LIGHT Tuners is easy for both Decks. This bad boy can search a Poly and allow fusing by opening your GY. So you can get CyDra Fusions or BE Fusions pretty easily. Not a bad deal eh?

1 LIGHT Machine Fusion monster + 1 DARK monster

OR 1 DARK Machine Fusion monster + 1 LIGHT monster

(This card is also always treated as being a DARK "Cyberdark" monster.) 

Cannot be targeted by your opponent's monster effects. Once per turn: You can target 1 monster your opponent controls; destroy that target, and if you do, inflict damage to your opponent equal to its original ATK. This card cannot attack directly during the turn you use this effect. This card gains 100 ATK for each card in your GY. If this card is destroyed by battle or by card effect: You can target 1 of your monsters that is in your GY or banished that was used as Fusion Material for this card's Fusion Summon: Special Summon it.

Note: This one is basically when the two sides of Zane meet. A combo of both Cyber monsters, it posses the brutality of both, spreading destruction, growing stronger and with some added resilience. I think it is fine given the requirements.


"Cyber Dragon"+ "Cyber Dragon" + "Cyber Dragon"

A Fusion Summon of this card can only be done with the above Fusion Material Monsters. Unaffected by Spell/Trap effects. If this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle: You can inflict damage to your opponent equal to its original ATK.

Note: A simple retrain of the original (like with AGG Mech. Melee or Revolution Falcon - Air Raid). Since it is a retrain, it is meant to do other things the original does not but not completely replace him. The original inflicts piercing, this one inflicts burn and has some immunities himself. Pretty simple eh? Or do you think it should do more?

Yeah honestly the one thing I don't like about your CAC is how all of them are made to have bullshit amount of conveniences and no restrictions, that they are all autopilots or just happenstance be able to be treated as 2 or more types or require bullshit amount of lack of efforts i.e. INTEGRATION D/D/D and link-2 double attacking 2500 ATK that spams upon death. There is almost never a restriction and it seems like you made it because you're mad butthurt about the game or something.

 

Its also treated as a LIGHT Machine monster. The whole points of cyberdarks is that they are to operate on their own without connection on the other LIGHT cybers, but of course, you also can Xyz them with 2 level 5 LIGHT Cydra. Get rid of one or get rid of all of it. The fact that you free fusion from it too is busted. Detatch to search effect I don't see how it has any correlation to any of the theme but whatever.

Put into nicer terms (please don't be a jackass in reviews; thanks), yeah, a lot of these cards just scream "tech me in Decks that shouldn't have the privilege of doing so in the first place".

 

Red-Eyes Cyber just gives Red-Eyes access to CyDra Infinity for whatever reason. They don't need / shouldn't have the privilege of running CDI. CyDras appreciate Fusion Summoning, yes, but they already have enough options to play with that path if they wanted to. Searching isn't bad, but yeah, have it either support Red-Eyes or CyDras; not both. I'll assume that Repair Plant is too slow for his tastes, or whatever search option Red-Eyes has. 

 

Blue-Eyes would appreciate the Fusion help, yes, but I don't think they really need to make Neo BEUD (Twin's usually enough, least from what I remember doing in testing); then again, how do you even Synchro in CyDra? Yes, Zane took Kaiba's place as rival, but otherwise those two have never met in the anime. 

 

The CyEnd Dragon retrain is the only one that's decent in this bunch. S/T immunity is fine, and no gripes about the burn effect. Only difference here is that you lose out on piercing weak monsters in exchange for burning larger ones. That being said, CyDra decks don't even bother with End anymore; Twin's a 5600 double attacker off Power Bond; that does more damage in the long run (and burns you less too).

As much as you might not like what the new format does to cards, there really is no reason to splash CyDras into every Archetype, especially ones that have no relation to them thereof.

Why would that monster allow them to get CDI? Sure it can search a LIGHT Machine monster, but splashing that in RE is just flat-out bad. Also CDI needs Nova for the CXyz, any R5 won't do it, just in case. All in all trying to CDI, if possible, would be slow as hell, also they have better removal options with the Chain Equip Trap.

 

There is no direct relationship except from what I stated, it is mostly symbolism I guess. As for how to summon this thing in the deck just any Level 1 LIGHT tuner + CyDra will do the job, not too tough really. Making Twin is fine, it is mostly for other kind of gimmicks you can use. At least you can float Spirit into this guy and fetch a Poly, then if it dies you can revive him and then push for Fusion. Not game-changing but not bad really.

 

True, although Power Bond is unsearchable and Cyber End is more vulnerable. This one tried to make summoning a big behemoth more worth it. I guess I can make a Twin retrain too? Definitely something to consider.

 

Just in case, none of this was made as a result of "butthurt" or "salt", and I personally don't see how this can be splashed everywhere. If you could perhaps explain the issues I could try to correct them, but I really do not see much beyond rather simplistic design.
