Back, and Chillin' with Machinecle

[玄魔の王]

I've returned to the website, and I bring with me the C'est la-Vie version of Machinecle:

Ultimate Machine God – Machinecle Infinity Cubic
LIGHT
Level: 12
[Machine/Effect]
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by removing from play 1 “Machine Emperor Wisel Infinity”, 1 “Machine Emperor Skiel Infinity” and 1 “Machine Emperor Grannel Infinity” from your Graveyard, when your opponent controls a monster and a Spell or Trap Card and you control no cards. When this card is Special Summoned, Special Summon 1 "Machinecle Assault" and 1 "Machinecle Defend" from your hand, Deck or Graveyard. Other monsters you control cannot attack. Once per turn, you can equip 1 Synchro Monster you opponent controls to this card as an Equip Card; this card gains ATK equal to the ATK of all Synchro Monsters equipped to itself by this effect. If this monster is selected as an attack target, its original ATK becomes equal to that of the attacking monster. If this card is destroyed by your opponent’s card (either by battle or by a card effect), during your next Standby Phase destroy all cards you control and Special Summon it from your Graveyard, ignoring the summoning conditions.
ATK/ ?
DEF/ ?

Once per turn, you can remove from play 1 "A (Attack)" or "T (Top)" Monster from your Graveyard to have this card gain its effect(s), until your next Standby Phase.

Fixed an error in Machinecle's effect - he now pulls from all 3 slots. Anything to say, guys?

I see that it has very steep summoning conditions. Though I do very much like where it is revived upon destruction, which helps a good amount
7.75/10 (2.25 for very steep summoning conditions that somewhat interferes with it's other Machinicle Parts' effects)

Reminds me of that Orichalcos semi-boss monster.

Pretty good, I think, better than the anime version which was just a lame excuse for moar Yusei fappery. Personally I would rather keep the Machine Emperors separate and just use the better parts from each one to form some sort of uber monster but... it's Yugioh. Everything is bound to fuse together eventually.

I hear what you're saying on the steep summoning condition; bur realistically, do you want this thing easier to summon? I mean, let's say I change its restriction to just the 3 Machine Emperors being removed. What happened then? It's way too easy to mill 3 monsters. Now, if you have a better idea, I'm listening.

Shunoros? It was designed to homage that, as well as the whole "combine 3 main monsters into 1" motif.

This thing is basically meant as a ringer. "Oh no, my whole strategy with my Machine Emperor has gone to s***. I'll summon this thing." See [url=http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5689008/40/Cest_LaVie]Chapter 40 of my fanfic[/url], where Placido summons this, and you'll see the intent I had.

You've been gone for far too long, old friend.


Monster AND a Spell or Trap? I'm interested in why both are required.

It has. It's good to be back.

Few reasons actually. First, it seemed a little too easy to just be able to drop this thing CyDra-style on an enemy who can't protect themselves. Second, it's a good twist on an effect that's been done to death. Third, it didn't seem to really matter because odds are they'll have both anyway.

Just only rfping the Machine Emperors would do fine for a summon condition. You don't need to rfp Machine Emperor Parts just to summon this (8 monsters to summon is a bit extreme). You also need the Machine Emperor Parts to give additional abilities to Machinecle Assault and Defend

YOU'RE BACK!!!!!!!! <3
Why you left in first place?

On cards:
Machinicle is recurring awesomeness
Assault and Defend seem fine

Technically it's 7 monsters, but I see your point. I will make that change.

Mainly because I have Dial-Up, and I can't load very many pages on the site without the connection resetting.
