Sceptyr's Support (Machina Reloaded) (9/9)

[Black D'Sceptyr]

Salutations all. 

 

Have some cards, (yes, even behind the WARNING spoiler) and a word from our sponsor (that means me.)

 

[spoiler=Some Words on this Support]

 

Been loaded down with work, both on cards and off-house, so it's nice to end a productive Sunday night, kicking back, relaxing....

 

and powering out a end-run support line to the original Machine Union monsters, the Machina.

 

Yea, this set was the bomb in GOAT Format, thanks to Fortress's recoverability and comboriffic nature with Gearframe and Force, combined with then-powerful defensive effects that guaranteed your opponent would take a loss no matter how they put it off the field.

 

Now?  The only Machine Union Deck making rounds is doing so because of the world's most-busted Link and owning the third most-busted Field Spell ever made (behind Chicken Game and SPYRAL Resort, and just ahead of Divine Wind.) And this iconic Deck is barely even talked about anymore, except as a go-to manual as to how NOT to incorporate two wildly different mechanics into one archetype

 

(ironic considering its native Type, hair-rendingly frustrating considering this is not even the THIRD Machine Archetype to fall victim to this lackluster playstyle/conflicting identities  dual kiss of death.

 

So here comes some movers and shakers (and literal ground-breakers) to save the dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy like its Mighty Mouse all over again but yeah this analogy got the hell away from me didn't it

 

Acutally gives it ways to maintain board presence-especially since any Force retrieval turns into twice the field prescence it once did thanks to Automatron and having a not-too-shabby Xyz to cap it all off-the first ever Xyz Union monster made from the BlaDeS of Change Workshop too!

 

Enjoy, folks.

Note the art on Machina Fabbery Unit has a twin in Vanguard, and you'll know I'm far from finished with this set. You all stay tuned now.

 

BD'S, signing off.
