"Scrap Recycler" needed a friend.

You can remove 1 "Scrap Recycler" you control from play to Special Summon this card from your Graveyard. When this card is Summoned, you can send 1 Machine-Type monster from your Deck to your Graveyard. Once per turn, you can remove 1 Machine-Type monster in your Graveyard from play to increase this card's ATK by 1000, until the End Phase.

Seems balanced and in good harmony with Scrap Recycler. I don't know enough about the other scrap cards to say wheter or not it works good with those too, but that seems irrelevant here. I think it is balanced, maybe even underpowered (you could give it another 100/200 extra ATK). Simple yet usefull card. 8.5/10

Well, the other Scrap monsters aren't even Machines, and have nothing to do with Scrap Recylcer. But I figured that Scrap Recycler was such a neat card that it should have something to go with it, too.

 

And I thought about boosting the ATK up, but dumping 2 monsters is pretty good, considering the combo this card sets up:

 

Normal Summon "Scrap Recycler" -> dump "Scrap Compactor" to the Graveyard -> (if there are 2 or more Level 4 EARTH Machine-Type monsters, return 2 to draw 1 card) -> Remove "Scrap Recycler" from play to Special Summon "Scrap Compactor" -> dump 2 "Machina Fortress" to the Graveyard -> drop cards to Special Summon "Machina Fortress" -> Remove any extra monsters for 1000 ATK -> Attack

 

Yeah...so I figured that it didn't need the extra ATK, because it's pushing the line for being broken, IMO. Plus, Scrap Recycler has low ATK, so I decided to keep theme.

You are absolutely right, I had completely overlooked Machina Fortress which in my opinion is a too strong a card. For a better the type, such an effect would have been overpowered. Taking that card in mind 1700 seems verily recent. I'm going to give you another 0.5 making the total 9/10

I personally feel it's a little OP'd, since it makes Recycler effectively a 2700 ATK monster you can Normal Summon for nothing, but with other choices and advantages such as the draw and Fortress.

See, I was feeling the 1700 base was a bit high myself. I actually started with 1500, and raised it from there. I am also considering letting it dump only 1 card, or having it dump a card only on Special Summons, or only on Normal Summons...I'm just not sure which option makes it useful enough, while not being broken.

Fortress irritates this otherwise perfect card. I think if you change it to 1, it would be good enough of balance. Then what you essentially do is trade in your Scrap Recycler for a monster with 800 more ATK that can get 1000 ATK for your turn instead of you drawing a card. You don't get an extra discard because that was this card for Recycler. The only advantage you have is that you could have used recyclers effect for a draw, but I don't think that that 1 extra draw would make this card int top meta decks it wouldn't have been in otherwise.

[touzaikokon]

Took your advice and cut it down to 1 dump from the Deck. I cut the ATK because 2700 seemed a bit much for what was essentially a free monster, but 2600 is still decent, and can run over a good number of things.

Is this card not interesting enough for more comments? At the very least, you could tell me what you want to see.

 

In short: bump.

This card is great! I personally run a Machina Mayhem with added cards, so this would fit right in. 11/10

Really? What's your build like? I run a Machina build myself, but I'm trying to vary it up, so I'm looking for new ideas.

[Ｄｈａｒｃ]

Well, I combined it with parts from the Ancient Gear Structure deck (Really just some support, a second set of Gadgets, and the Gadjilatrons), B.E.S. Covered Core, and some other Machine supprot I forget because it's at my mom's house. I'll get back to you on that later.

[touzaikokon]

Good stuff. Why do you run B.E.S. Covered Core?

 

Better yet, just PM me about it. This looks to be a good conversation. (Albeit, one unrelated to the thread).

[touzaikokon]

Epic BUMP.
