Forum:Karakuri Machine Dup OTK

I've seen a few builds of the Karakuris but I don't like the idea of using outside cards too much. I like pure archetype decks with only a few random cards so I thought I'd share my deck with everyone.

Deck Total: 42

Monsters (19)

Karakuri Komachi MDL 224 "Ninishi" X3

Karakuri Ninja MDL 339 "Sazank"

Karakuri Ninja MDL 919 "Kuick" X3

Karakuri Ninja MDL 7749 "Nanashick" X2

Karakuri Merchant MDL 177 "Inashichi" X3

Karakuri Soldier MDL 236 "Nisamu" X3

Karakuri Watchdog MDL 313 "Saizan" X2

Junk Synchron

Turbo Synchron

Spells (12)

Karakuri Anatomy X2

Karakuri Cash Cache X2

Karakuri Showdown Castle X2

Machina Armored Unit

Machine Assembly Line

Machine Duplication X2

Monster Reborn

Swords of Revealing Light

Traps (11)

Karakuri Trick House X2

Bottomless Trap Hole

Dimensional Prison

Divine Wrath

Mirror Force

Safe Zone

Extra Deck (15) (I know I'm going to take heat for it lol but I like to be different. Feel free to use your own synchros, but the 6 Shoguns are a must)

Karakuri Steel Shogun MDL 00X "Bureido" X3

Karakuri Shogun MDL 00 "Burei" X3

Iron Chain Dragon

Junk Destroyer

Turbo Warrior

Ally of Justice Catastor

Scrap Archfiend

Gaia Knight, The Force of Earth

Naturia Leodrake

Ally of Justice Decisive Armor X2

Basically, what your trying to do is get Komachi on the field, machine dup her, and synchro summon away. The older Karakuri decks use Strategist but since Komachi has been released in Extreme Victory, Strategist has been rendered useless since they are both tuners and 3 stars. Komachi lets you normal summon an additional Karakuri once per turn, so you don't need to special summon Cyber Dragon or have a 4 star on the field. It's just like knocking over dominoes. You just synchro Komachi with a 4 star and summon a Burei, special summon the 5 star Ninja "Nanashick" with Burei's effect, synchro summon for Bureido using Komachi and Nanashick, special summon a 4 star with Bureido's effect, synchro summon for another Burei and special summon the last Nanashick with the Last Burei's effect.

Chances are you won't have a komachi, machine dup, and either Nisamu or Kuick in your hand at the start of the duel. Hopefully, you drew a Merchant. The Merchant is the key to setting the deck up for some jump-starting draw power. You just normal summon the Merchant, search out a Cash Cache with his effect and activate Cash Cache to search out a Komachi so you don't have to suicide dive into your opponents monster with Merchant.

The whole idea behind having a Junk Synchron and Turbo Synchron is to have a small side strategy. Sometimes, the OTK won't work out as nicely as you had hoped. So you try and bring out Junk Destroyer or Turbo Warrior to finish your opponent off. For Junk Destroyer, try to have the ninja Sazank on the field, Junk Synchron in your hand, and a Merchant in your graveyard. Using 3 monsters for the synchro summon just maximizes Junk Destroyer's effect so you can destroy 2 cards and hopefully pave the way to victory. With Turbo Warrior, synchro summon Ally of Justice Catastor with Komachi and a Merchant, then normal summon Turbo Synchron and synchro summon for Turbo Warrior. If all else fails, use Nanashick as synchro material for either one.

The great thing about this deck is you have some immense draw power when it really gets rolling. Very rarely will you dead draw. Only 2 Karakuri Anatomys are necessary since it's so easy to get 2 counters on it. You can change Burei to defense and then use his effect to switch him back. Boom, 2 counters and pitch Anatomy for 2 cards. Bureido just makes it even easier to draw.

With this deck, you can afford to beef it up a bit. I have it at 42 cards total, but you can probably add more. If you feel like it, you can cut Swords and Showdown Castle, because a lot of the times I never use the Showdown Castle, but both of it's effects are useful.

Hopefully, this helped out a lot. I noticed all the crazy things people are doing with this archetyp, but if you want a mostly pure Karakuri deck, I would say this is probably what your looking.
