A Gadget for the Machines! Deck Article : Machina Gadgets

First of all, Machinas are not a new archetype. In fact some of them existed many years ago, and their main objective was to get out Machina Force.
This deck was nowhere near a competitive deck, but the situation changed a lot with the release of Structure Deck: Machina Mayhem .This structure deck introduced ''Machina Fortress'' , ''Machina Peacekeaper'' and ''Machina Gearframe''. The easy fortress abuse gave the deck a great boost, but not enough to go against the top decks. The machines needed some ''gadgets'' to enpower them and indeed they found them. The compination of them leaded to a very competitive deck which is based on summoning ''Machina Fortress'' and other machine monsters (preferably along with solidarity), while keeping hand advantage with the help of the ''Gadget'' Monsters
Let us take a look in the key monsters of this Deck

Spoiler:

Effect : If you have only 1 original (printed) Type of monster in your graveyard, face-up monsters you control with the same Type gain 800 ATK.
Usage : This deck runs only machines so this is a perfect card for it.With that our gadgets have at least 2000 ATK and fortress 3300, an attack which can easily beat the most of in-game monsters.One of the key cards of the deck.
How many to use ? : Particularly good card. Run at least 2.

Royal Oppression

Effect : Pay 800 Life Points to negate a Special Summon of a monster and/or the effect of a card that Special Summons a monster and destroy it. Both you and your opponent can use this effect as long as this card remains face-up on the field.
Usage : This is another important card in machinas.The only monster you have that is special summoned is ''Machina Fortress'' . If you get to special summon it and have an oppression ready then you have the uper hand, against the most decks.Even if you have a solidarity and some gadgets, you will be able to control the duel easily
How many to run ? : Two for sure.Oppression is a key card.

Smashing Ground



Effect : Destroy the 1 face-up monster your opponent controls that has the highest DEF. (If it's a tie, you get to choose.)
Usage : Another very good card.Smashing Ground will propably destroy one of your opponent's best monster, propably allowing your gadgets to do some damage by direct attacking.You can destroy annoying cards like Rai-Oh with that etc...
How many to run ? : Really nice card. Run 3 in all your gadget decks.



Dimensional Prison



Effect : Activate only when your opponent declares an attack. Remove from Play the attacking monster.
Usage : Gadgets are weak without Solidarity so D-Prison is the best card to protect them.This card can take out almost all of the cards in the game.Use this and Smashing Ground to eliminate your opponent monsters and slightly gain the field advantage.
How many to run ? : Same with smashing. Run 3 of these

Other Spell/Traps to use :
1x Torrential Tribute
1x Mirror Force
1x Solemn Judgment
2x Bottomless Trap Hole

~~vem123~~

this is very helpful and readable. consider making more?

Nope, bored :P

Nice Article Vem ;) but i really dont agree with the 3 Gadgets Overkill thing. You cant have dead draws in this deck drawing a gadget. you need a gadget to discard for Machina
fortress and having 2 in your hand in that situation is good because you need to keep a gadget in hand to keep your hand advantage. 3 Gadgets is pro man :)

In Machina Gadgets ? i playtested it and it was awful -.-
i run 3 of them in every other gadget variant though

Very nice article but there is one mistake. Gadgets get their effects at all summonsnot only at Normal Summons.

No! Only at Normal Summon and Special Summon. ;)

"When you Normal or Special Summon this card"

Also, 3 Gadget aren't overkill in a Machina Deck. I agree with Scorpion at all! Also, at a simple Gadget Deck 2 are better from 3. (My opinion)

Anyway! Very nC! :D

+1 for your article vem. But i just couldnt shut up so i am gonna writte some things :)

Well first of all you said 3 gadgets are overkill in a machina deck. Wrong :). Having a gadget form your search+1 to discard for fortress gives you endless advantage over your opponent.
Also you said we should use 3 of each gadget in a stun deck. Why? YOu needd room for heavy backrow in a stun deck+room for extra monsters(raioh/dcal/vanity etc).

Next using 2 fortress over 3 is just bad. WHy use 2 when you ca use 3? He cannot be a dead draw :S.

Finally i dont think machina soldier is so helpful and fissure+book of moon is a lso very good supportive cards for the deck

But anyways nice article and keep up the good work.

That's how i use my deck x] not how everyone else uses it. It has only lost 3-4 games till now so i do not see wh changing it :P
And about fortress, i say you can run 3 if you want x] .

The 2 losses are from me xD jk

Yeah sure you re right if it works for you keep it that way.

Btw is it irl as weel or only KC?

well i have to say that the 3 fortress is not really needed. 2 fortress is all you need IMO. many players prefer 3 but it is up to the player preference.

Nice Job I Learned Something +1 From me

you all know i do not play in real life, and if you keep remind me i will start crying :(

and i also i pwned you with that deck , it is in sda channel :P . I took this in 3 tournaments (outside sda) and it is still undefeated in those 3. I already won one, i am in the semi's at the other, and dq'ed at the last one (do not ask how!!!)

those were against a lot of competitive players, like you and aris f.e , not noobs :P so i rarely do changes...

the number of gadgets or number of fortress' is really up to personal preference or if the person chooses based on the type of deck they are running...

Generally builds with 2 of each gadget are more control based compared to builds with 3 of each gadget tend to be more aggressive.

All in all...a well written article which seems very easy for someone to learn from

@Vem: You dont play irl? Diddnt know that lol :S.

Anyways keep it that way if you think it suits you i just said my opinion on the deck. If you rly are going so good with it and it suits you keep it that way.

wow very good article congrats :)
