Incoming Machine! And Dragons! And a Flame Swordsman!

Strategic Summary:
Welcome to the final CDP of the month, and this time we’re upgrading my prior take on combining Metalmorph and the Primite theme with new cards and hopefully a more solid decklist. Please checkout my prior build, when the first set of Max Metalmorph support cards were revealed: https://youtu.be/cl-PqusvfBc
Alright, let’s get to the new stuff! First up is the newest Max Metalmorph monster, Metal Flame Swordsman (YGOrg Translation). This Level 6 FIRE joins Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon in the burn club, inflicting 500 damage to the opponent each time they activate a card or effect. This is first because its burn damage is nothing to scoff at – it truly adds up quick, especially if you factor in the damage from Red-Eyes Black Fullmetal Dragon. Making both is also extremely possible now, as Max Metalmorph can summon the second by tributing any Dragon monster, while Metal Flame is just a Flame Metalmorph (YGOrg Translation) away. This new Trap can tribute any card that mentions Max Metalmorph, Type be damned, from Zoa the Fiendish Beast to Metal Illusionist. Then of course there’s also Time Engine, the last Metalmorph Trap that can respond to a monster you control being destroyed by battle or card effect, bring it back to the field, then if you have a Metalmorph Trap on your field or in your GY, you can destroy your opponent’s monsters and burn them for the summoned monster’s ATK! That’s an all-in-one effect for sure.
This is a great segue to the second major theme of the deck, the Primite! This archetype designed to support Normal Monsters keeps popping up on my channel for good reason – it is a great balance of control and aggressive elements. To pair with this archetype, I’ve added Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Gaia the Fierce Knight, and Ignihorse Dragonith (YGOrg Translation). Across their Type/Attributes, Primite Imperial Dragon will banish any LIGHT/EARTH/FIRE Dragon/SeaSerpent/Warrior monsters, and that should cover enough of the decks running around. The first two also happen to serve as the right Types for Max Metalmorph, and the latter two are Level 7 to enable Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon. Also, all three can be sent from the Deck to the GY to Special Summon Dragolithia Kunzite (YGOrg Translation) from your hand, a Level 8 EARTH Dragon that alternatively can be banished from the GY to Special Summon a Normal Monster from your GY. With these EARTH Dragons making an appearance, Redox, Dragon Ruler of Boulders is a great tech choice alongside Gold Sarcophagus, while also serving as Level 7 itself for Xyz Summons! Embrace the power of controlling engines, with the Metalmorph and Primite together!
