[Written] Roid/Solidroid Archetype

[Fluffyfish]

If you are unaware, Syrus/Sho uses a deck that sounds actually decent in the Gxmanga. And there is a duel with him against Manjoume (Chazz) which I'm actually quite fond of, in which he uses 3 different Solidroids, which are the monsters I'm trying to recreate here.

The Solidroid monsters are Summoned from the Extra Deck by using 3 specific Roid monsters and sending them to the Graveyard (from hand or field) or banishing them from Grave (each way to Summon creates a different Solidroid monster). The monsters required to summon them are different in the manga, but I thought it would be easier to just create different Roids for them (the cards here work by their specific names, so no direct Speedroid support).

As is, I'm unsure if they have enough to work in a standalone deck (too few cards), but they can probably work well as an engine or a sub-strategy for a deck. Although I'm also worried because they have a bunch of search/recycling to help the engine, but I think its balanced properly overall.

Well, you can judge that yourself. Hope you liked them, see ya.
