Talk:Machina Gadget

As per Wilimut's request, I have created this page to discuss whether Cyber Dragon should be listed as a recommended card for Machina Gadget Decks. I belive it should, for the following reasons: I have main decked 3 CyDra in my Machina Gadgets for a long time now, and I think it runs very well when used correctly. At the most recent YCS, 23 of the top 32 duelists had 2 Cyber Dragons in their Side Deck, while a 24th duelist had 1. If 75% of YCS tops are using a card, even if only side decked, I think that's a very strong case for the card being good. He serves as a universal beatstick, is able to attack over just about everything that can be Normal Summoned, and is often sufficient bait for Bottomless Trap Hole (even though Bottomless has been seeing a decline in play), Torrential Tribute, Thunder King Rai-Oh, and more recently, Solemn Warning. After drawing out those cards, it is much safer to drop Machina Fortress, the deck's main powerhouse. Even if it is not used as bait, Cyber Dragon is an excellent beatstick by himself. It is a wonderful card to have in mirror match, or against any Machine-heavy deck. Machina Gadget decks can also take advantage of Cyber Dragon being a Machine-type, using him as Fortress fodder or powering him up in Solidarity builds. All in all, I strongly support Cyber Dragon being listed as a recommended card. Lappyzard (talk • contribs) 00:46, May 25, 2011 (UTC)
