ENMaker Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 This is a one card Dora with no cost, that's absurdly powerful. I've barely used trains but I know that they're nowhere near as bad as a deck would have to be to warrant a support like this. And the fact it can recycle itself for 1000 LP on top of that, it's just too much. The Machine only restriction on recycling is barely a handicap, you bring this back, drop it down and go into Gustav for up to 5000. All it locks is the spiders, which the deck has functioned well without for a while. I don't know where you go with this. It itself searches and also can be searched by a searchable field spell, and said field spell can also grab a third material from the deck to go into the 3-mat rank 10s, which from my recollection aren't all that good but they still are there. It needs some kind of a cost, Trains getting a Terrortop is not a good idea, let alone the fact that it's a bloody 3k Cydra which doesn't even need your opponent to have a board. I get the idea is to iron out the potential clogging with trains but this isn't the way to go about it. The field spell's search is reasonable and that is as mentioned a searchable card anyway. You need to at least make it halve its attack if you drop it for free, and maybe discard to search or something. Or cut the recycle entirely out. I'm not sure, maybe it wouldn't be as ridiculous in action as it looks on paper, but it does look really crazy on paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, now how is it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENMaker Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Well let's take it that you go first and open with this. Drop it and search, +1. Drop NEK, make Gustav, -1. Detach to burn for 2k, pay 500 and -1 to +2. It alone is a +1 that gives you a Dora or Gustav Max on board, thins the deck by 3, and in addition leaves you a full hand. I don't really think that's alright. If you have a Ruffian Railcar to discard for the effect, you get an end phase search and it's a +2 but that's getting into other things entirely. I can't think of a card that on its own enables such a move, things like Tribute Lanius can let you +1 but it's only bringing out a Force Strix that can't do anything, whereas Gustav can deal massive damage and Dora is a 4k immovable wall. The rank 10s that Trains have access to are by and large very powerful, and this letting you throw them out while going plus is... I can't really support it. Again, if you go and proxy it or something and see what it's like, it may not be nearly as good in practice, but it still looks relatively mental.

ENMaker Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 From that comment it appears to me you don't think that the changes I suggested were warranted, if that is the case I'd like to know why. As it is now it's just a good card that boosts the consistency of a deck relatively prone to dead hands, at least in my experience. It combines well with the field spell and Derricrane as well for double 10s and other such plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a genuine snarky approach towards nerfing so ignore it. Thanks a bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 You could, like, be a pro and let it search Knight off being Special Summoned in general, and not just when it's played by it's own effect. Would make for cute combos with Switchyard, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
