3 good cards, 3 great cards, and 1 meh card. I genuinely and don’t want to jinx it, might be the most promising as of recent, first wave of TCG archetypes (mitisurgi 1st wave might be arguable for equal or better is all)🙏
Reminds me of Appliancers. I like the goofy art. Not much to go off of deck-wise yet, but I’m hoping these cards will be good!
huh. I thought it was Revel Bots.
I heard Rebel Bots. Audio was a joke.
Pretty meh all things considered but the spells are really good
Machine Emperors by way of Powertool.
Okay Konami…will you create a trend after Mitsurugi of making good cards? Or will you do what you’ve done for years, where you give us a promising first wave and a disappointing finish? I hope for the former and prepare for the latter
i mean they have not always done bad tcg decks
BA and kozmo are proof of that
but it’s been a long time since them
You forgot gold pride/Danger/mimighoul off the top of my head.
And Kaiju may be unplayable as a deck, but they’ve undeniably changed the landscape of the game in a major way.
Dedede which is why I said “for years”, not all time
Erudito Gold Pride wasn’t good. It just had synergy with PUNK. As I said earlier, “for years”, not all time. Danger came out 7 years ago. And Mimighoul, sure, I guess it was fine, but only in comparison to TCG exclusives. In a vacuum, it’s mid at best.
HeraldOfOpera Again, I said for years.
They also originally used to give 1 new power card to big archetypes which enhanced the decks massively like grandmaster of the six samurai, test tiger, allure, charge of the light brigade to just name a few.
lol this is basically what meklords were originally more or less
In what way is this what Meklord’s were
Maybe they meant Mekknights
I think they mean the anime mekklords where they where 5 parts that combined to make one big monster
im refering to what meklords were in the anime. basically 5 monsters that would effectively serve as one monster.
@unsaidmedia – Meklords in anime had a gimmick where they were composed of multiple parts that were separate monster cards. Rebel Bots are link monsters with additional “equipment” for them being main deck monsters. You summon additional parts to main monster zones that are linked to actual bots.
Im still hoping that we get a playable variant of the anime/vg version of the meklords, even if it is under a different name (the current meklord cards are junk anyways, so being compatible with them isnt important)
The deck is such a insanely fun concept, but sadly also so incredibly unplayable
from basically having to run at least 10 bricks in your deck, to only being able to play the deck after using 1 speccific annoying to trigger card, to only having one real play, to worst of all the second gimmic being both hyper speciffic yet rather useless
Most of the problems could be fixed with good support, but the “too many bricks” thing would need a complete rework of those cards
yod its not nessecarily unplayable. i havent confirmed this but in theory wouldnt it be possible to run an unchained meklord. by taking advantage of desroying your own cards wouldnt that trigger the meklord emporer’s summoning conditions?
If the only comparison between these guys and the Meklord’s are that they have main deck pieces “equipment” that is summoned to the link zones while the Meklord’s were all main deck pieces that were summoned by destroying their respective cores, I’m sorry, but that is such a weak comparison imo. I know how the Meklord’s function with that gimmick in the anime (as well as duel links if memory serves) which is why I was extra confused on the initial comparison between the two. The tenuous connection between the two themes really starts to fall apart the more you look and think about it.
If this had more main deck monsters on launch, I’d be going for it pretty quickly. I like the ideas and the theme behind this archetype, but only having three main deck monsters feels extremely limiting for this first wave given the pop and swap playing style. Had it included just one more main deck monster, I think that could have helped. I know we’ll have a second wave of support (likely in Doom of Dimensions), but that’s a ways off. I’m still interested in this, and I’m willing to give it a try, I just hope to see more options for it in the future support.
another childish trash, crap design, and now, are you going to swallow more trash? This kind of thing only exists because there are people who buy trash!
It’s actually really cute and cool and the thematic you just seem kind of mad.
I swear some of the people on this site are among the worst in a bad player base.
There’s plenty of “receipts” of people calling decks bad on here then proven completely wrong later.
Jesus Christ, go away. Nobody likes you.
Then there are comments like you that make this game unfriendly for others that enjoy this game to be so negative about.
touch grass
What are you doing here if you apparently don’t like Yu-Gi-Oh!? Also, you sound extremely insecure about yourself and being perceived as an “adult,” which ironically makes you sound like a 12-year-old edgelord.
Watch this be the same guy that commente “unplayable garbage” when mitsurugi was revealed
Don’t patronize the industry when it tries to simplify everything, because that cuts costs and creates a community where no one cares anymore if what they’re doing is garbage or if they’re actually taking their community seriously.

They tried to ban me? Don’t trust anyone who works with this now, apparently they don’t want their eyes to be open and their criteria to remain 0 or be reset to 0!
and of course everyone loves me, listen, I know how to program very well, I don’t have to keep saying this or depending on companies, I’m saying this because it bothers me and because I want you to be well.
why are you arguing with yourself lol
lol take your meds
So they’ll make this, but they won’t make Valon’s Armor cards?
Perhaps this is Konami cooking.
Like what I was thinking, this is the closest we’ll likely ever get to the Armor cards.
Yeah, cause I doubt Valon’s cards would be a tcg-exclusive. That’d be off
To be fair, HFIL, they did do that with Valkyries.
valon’s armor cards suck dog balls, the only people who want them are dudes in their late 20s to 30s who still play the game and live with their parent
Would’ve been better if Main RB had battle protection or redirection for others
This set is almost like the battle armor Valon ran against Joey
If you play it with Machina then Defence Perimeter stops your littles guys being attacked when you have a big bungus on board
Also gives you recovery
Anyone else getting prototype examples to how “Armatos legio” will work?
It could be an engine for very specific strategies, but it’s nowhere near the level of Mitsurigi. This first wave pretty much sealed the deck’s future
Unless OCG provides it with support later or the second wave goes all out, for me it’s a meh, bordering on bad, archetype
Granted I agree with your points for the most part but how good would pure mitsurugi perform with no Ryzeal backing it up?
All future support needs to do is give a way for the existing EARTH Machine piles to use it.
It, like most tcg exclusives, is a promising start and it is easy to see what it needs…time will tell if the second half follows through. It doesn’t need to be Mitsurugi, just not Tistina
Hmm… “Funk”, “Blues” and “Stage”. Is there a hidden music theme here I wonder?
I hope so. That would actually be really cool
all their attributes are also EARTH, WIND, and FIRE. Wonder if that was on purpose too
I LOVE MECHAS!!! Small pieces forming a big guy is always gonna be what i love the most about YuGiOh THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR RELEASING THIS WOOOOOOOHHH!!!! <3
When do they reveal the rest of the exclusives?
Next set, DOOD.
Why would they wait to reveal the other 9 DUAD exclusives until DOOD? That makes no sense.
Simple. Straightforward. Low to the ground. Seems like a good deck to get absolute beginners into the game. Finally
Seems to be a fun archetype.
I like the design of these a lot
Feels like they’re finally doing some really creative stuff with link arrows
Sadly they currently seem way to fair to be meta, hopefully there’s at least a playable deck you can make with them in some kind of shell
This archetype would be virtually unplayable for me if it weren’t for the two spells.
That being said, I can’t shake the feeling like its missing something
It feels too reliant on spells atm. They need a bit more extenders to not die to random choke point.
Is that feeling the fact that every TCG archetype gets two waves so it’s quite literally missing something?
I’ll be Testing Pure Before testing Meklord or Machina Builds. Let’s go!
This already works surprisingly well with Machina and general earth machine stuff. The lock prevents the big guys from showing, but you can still at least get Machina Citadel into rotation and since R.B. doesn’t needs its normal summon, you can just play Machina Gearframe, Machina Unclasspare and Machina Redeployment to get Citadel to the GY, which summons itself if one of the Ga10 monsters destroys itself.
This archetype is ass.
Hey, kinda like your face!
then, one or two cards will become part of some super expensive meta deck and cost the same as a switch2 game… I know the drill…
Any 2 machines for full combo? Not bad, but needs a second wave. Because full combo means 2 interuptions and a beater that gets less and less attack
This is just Scareclaw…
Between this and Mal1ss I’m happy Konami is trying to actually make linking/pointing a relevant mechanic again. An unfortunately high number of modern ones just don’t care about it at all, despite being the core feature that makes them fundamentally interesting and distinct from the other summon methods.
Very cool one, not gonna lie.
Weirdly enough, this archetype could really use a trap. I think wave 2 will make it pretty good, but as of right now it’s just alright. It’s cool that now 2 machines turn into backrow negation
i think what this needs most is some recycling….your sending your cards to grave an awful lot…so a trap that can shuffle one of your weapons into your deck and then give you a draw.
or perhaps a continues trap that prevents your main zone monsters from being targeted while your big bot is out….or mayby something that banks off of having several in the gravyard or lets you pop an extra card when one of your main monsters gets destroyed.
this seems like the kind of deck youd want to run pot of avarice and 3 coppies of the Drill and cutter in.
since that field spell replaces them..
Machine duplication might also be a good idea to get out multiple drillers to link up since they have 500 atk.
and Supply squad will be good since it gets you a free draw whenever your monster is destroyed (albeit,only OTP)
but still i cant help but feel that a Hard once per turn for thier destruction effects is a bit much….your arlready paying lifepoints AND they get destroyed in the process…it seems like your paying more than what your getting…they could at least have made them soft OTP instead.
sit on brute blues while searching and gaining lp and and the opponent loses lp from rocket. it’s strong, just needs some recycling in wave 2
Those cards in the archetype kinda reminds me of Kamen Rider Fourze for some reason…
This is like Borrel/Rokket gimmick without clunky “being targeted” requirement.
Also that spell just casually summons link-3.
as aways yugioh players suck at everything surrounding yugioh except for copyingdecklists and playing them on ladder. This archetype is gas, it gives any 2 machines an omni and destruction at the cost of a few bricks. now while this really isn’t a snake rain sort of deal where they can’t make good reptile decks, konami will likely be very careful with machine decks in the future. If you think I’m wrong please tell me your point of view
Design-wise its Power Tool but worse
Gameplay-wise its Scareclaw but worse
Just when I thought TCG exclusives were finally making a comeback, guess Mitsurugi was just their lucky call
Lame ass deck with no new interesting strategy, basically search or special from the deck to summon a big thing.
What’s the point of making a new archetype if it doesn’t have a new playstyle ?
The closest thing to the armor card
