Don't we have this topic like every other week? I definitely remember seeing the mispelling of Emperor recently.

The Machine [b]Emperors[/b]

Grannel is OPed, since it doesn't restrict other monsters from attacking, can easily have 4000 ATK depending on how late in the game it is, and can steal and Summon opposing Synchros, giving you access to their effects without reducing your field's combined ATK strength, although Grannel loses ATK by that.

Wisel is pretty good, with decent stats and the once-a-turn Spell negation.

Skiel is meh, since its effect requires you to Steal a Synchro and then ditch it to do anything. Despite that, I love Skiel.

Of most anime cards, these got the least nerfing, considering everyone knew they weren't going to release the multi-piece versions. They're super easy to summon, have good ATK, and each have their own little effect that in some way related the anime incarnation. Wisel gets the effect of Wisel Top 3, Skiel gets Skiel Attack 5's effect, and Grannel...we dont know what piece does the Synchro summon/shield yet.

For the record, Grannel only has overwhelimg ATK the earlier you play him.
So mid to late game he would only have like 2000-ish ATK.
And it Special Summons the Synchros in [i]defense mode[/i](...not that its a 'weakness' or anything)

In defense? Must have missed that line. But that's only about as much a weakness as Goyo putting his stolen monsters in defense. Can't use them that turn, but hardly crippling.
[/quote]
I know right?
Grannel's 2nd and 3rd effects are pretty much a "situational" version of Goyo.
(Though its hardly that situational at all, since it depends on how Synchro abusive the opponent is)

What's to discuss that hasn't been discussed already?
They are good, an instant +2 as soon as it hits your turn, you take your opponent's monster at no cost. Too easy to summon, overall broken and pretty much banworthy. Grannel's a walking lolbeatstick with swarming capacity, Wisel wastes your opponent's spells and has a brilliant base attack, and skiel is well, almost balanced in comparison.

It is amusing how the monsters hyped in the anime as being anti-Synchro Killers are actually helpless against them. The only way to use Accel Synchro to beat a Machine Emperor is to use Formula Synchron with Stardust, or Formula + Lvl 2 Tuner + Red Dragon Archfiend when your opponent activates a Machine Emperor's effect. In the anime, Shooting Star and Scar Red can dodge the Synchro snatching effects (lot of good that did against Grannel, making me think Grannel is actually an Accel Synchro Killer in disguise), but in the OCG, Machine Emperors laugh at the monsters considered to be their downfall.

Skiel isnt banworthy at all.
Same with Wisel.
Granel.... Maybe.
But with Grannel, its a matter of [i]when[/i] you play him that effects how much of a threat he is.

Also, I have a feeling theirs a BKSS saying that you cant stack the summons, and card effects that target more then one monster somehow "force" you to miss the chance to summon it.
......Or something like that. I'm not really sure.

That is why THIS should be the effect of SSD:
1 Tuner Synchro Monster + "Stardust Dragon"
Each of these can be activated once per turn: ● Reveal the top 5 cards of your Deck. Shuffle them back in, and this card's maximum number of attacks this turn is equal to the number of Tuner monsters revealed in Deck ● Negate the activation of an effect that would destroy a card(s) on the field, and destroy that card. [b]This effect is Spell Speed 3 [/b]● [b]When your opponent targets this card[/b], you can remove this card from play. During the End Phase, Special Summon this card that was removed from play by this effect.

What dodges the Emperors? I can only think of Turbo Warrior, Formula Synchron, Majestic Star Dragon, or a weak Synchro with Heart of Clear Water equipped. Non of these seem to do an adequate job of it.

Turbo Warrior does it the best, but Skiel, Wisel, and Grannel all match or come very close to its ATK, so it wont really hold them off. Formula Synchron has to be able to Synchro with something, and unless you're going for Black Rose or something, you'll still have to deal with the Machine Emperor's threat next turn. Majestic Star has to Tribute itself, plus the odds of it being snatchable is slim to none due to its "Return to Extra Deck" effect, and nukes their field, which may just lead to them throwing out a second Machine Emperor.
