Machina

The Machinas, known as Machiners in the OCG, monsters are an Archetype of EARTH Attribute Machine-Type cards that made their debut in Japanese Premium Pack 9. They currently have a Structure Deck, Machina Mayhem, which has recently come out. The only appearance they make in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime is in episode 11. They are also used by Kirk, one of Yakou Tenma's card professors in Yu-Gi-Oh! R.

The cards in the Archetype are their support cards Commander Covington, Machina Soldier, Machina Sniper, Machina Defender, Machina Force, Machina Fortress, Machina Gearframe, and Machina Peacekeeper.

The Archetype involves getting the three Machina monsters onto your field and using Commander Covington's effect to Special Summon Machina Force.

All of the Machina cards will finally be released into the TCG in the Structure Deck: Machina Mayhem coming out in February.

Playing Style
Machina Deck is the EARTH Attribute Machine-Type Deck that rely on some supporting cards in order to summon the titan of this deck Machina Force. In spite of this purpose, this deck use some union cards to protect your Machina cards that is required to summon Machina Force and use some cards that can search the "needed" Machina monsters. Some Machina cards ( like Machina Fortress, Machina Peacekeeper, and Machina Armored Unit ) are quite versatile in Machine Deck, but most of Machina cards are suitable only for Machina Deck.

Summoning Machina Force is not the final answer in duel since this card does not have a negating card effect that makes this card safe from being destroyed or removed from the field. If this condition really exists, you will leave your field empty and you lose at least 1 card in your hand that may diminish your Hand Advantage. Because of this sort of "tragedy", some players may not include Machina Force in their deck and not play this Deck. Although if you still want to make and optimize this Deck with Machina Force, you can add several cards for protect your ace monster and create massive tragic ending.
