Speedroid Beigomax

[CLG Klavier]

If you control no monsters, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). When this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add 1 "Speedroid" monster from your Deck to your hand, except "Speedroid Beigomax". You can only use this effect of "Speedroid Beigomax" once per turn.

 

Speedroids are really looking to have a bunch of high quality cards. They have this, a self-summoning Lonefire, an Altair effect, an incredibly flexible tuner, access to Pilica and E-Tele and through that also Ghost Bunny. They don't seem overly powerful, but I feel the sole card quality might carry the deck somewhere.

They're really weak.

 

Synchrocentric is a weak decktype, and while they have some solid cards, they do not have enough solid synchros to sit on, by any means, and they lack the room for more than 1-3 Xyz, if even.

 

Add to it, 3 of their monsters came out poorly, the dies are weak tuners, and that leaves 3 cards. Yeah, there are some good ones for sure, but they don't work as well as you'd expect.

 

And supercharge sucks.

And supercharge sucks.

...People play Supercharge?

 

Not saying it like it's a bad thing, I mean, I know these are Machine-Type 'Roid' monsters, but like... It seems strange.

The best thing about the deck is (no kidding) it's speed. It can spit out a lot of advantage very quickly, especially with the incredible versatility Red-Eyed Dice gives you as well as Clear Wing being WIND. And given Yugo being very important in the anime we are bound to keep getting more of them, so some new Synchro Monsters certainly seem likely.

I don't think they actually do, it was just a joke when they first came out.

 

I'm still pissed that these were maid into their own archetype rather than merged into the Roids, even if they don't have the cartoony art.

Card is good, but I feel the deck can't grab its combo pieces quick enough. Plus the limit to WIND monsters when you Synchro Summon sometimes is a bit annoying as most of the WIND Synchros lack power

[Slinky]

The deck makes you wish Sniping Hazy was real. It could actually give them a fighting chance in the meta. Maybe.

Alright, so....

I think the most pro route to using Speedroids would be using 3x Call and 3x Oasis.

Usae This card's search effect on both turns, and see how far it gets you.

It's not necessarily from the Grave thats the problem with Speedroids. It's more that they need another aearcher from the Deck really

Whenever I say something is "pro", it's typically in a negative tone, cuz' I know it's weird/suboptimal/etc.

Regardless...

 

You could, like, play Tin Goldfish to make Gigant X with Yoyo/Menkoto/other Goldfish. But then you would have to play Goldfish.

[Progenitor]

Eh, they're pretty above average.

 

They are incredibly explosive, have one of the most absusable searchers in this game, and if you can play without taketonborg for a turn they have an absurd amount of things to go for.

 

But they are, as most synchrocentric archetypes are, extrodinarily dependent on your opening hand. If you don't open well, you're gonna have a very rough time of it compared to what "not opening well" is in other decks

 

So yeah they aren't bad. Certainly not so. But they lack the consistency and tachtonborg crippled power the deck really needs to take off.
