Karakuri Gadgets -First Draft Decklist-

Some may have sighted me talking about this build before. Here is a beta build, which uses cards from the OCG - but to make it TCG-able, I guess you could swap a Cannon for a Machina Force, and the two Komachis for a third Soldier/Strategist. In short, the idea of the deck is a combination of the Gadget archetype and the Karakuri monsters, of which I am a big fan. I've yet to playtest this, so I am expecting more than a few bugs, haha.

Obviously, this is a work in progress - the idea is that the Gadgets, as Level 4 monsters, make good Synchro Material. The Karakuri tuners (Watchdog 313, Strategist 248, Komachi 224) can then tune with them to form Shogun 00 or Steel Shogun 00X. While I'd love to go on about this in a meandering fashion, here's an example scenario - here, it's done with three Watchdogs. The third'd be in the Side Deck, most likely. You still get advantage even if, in Step 6, you get Strategist instead - it's just less. You also end up with two Burei's.


On field: Ultimate Offering. In hand, a Gadget and Watchdog 313.


1. Summon Watchdog 313.
2. Activate Ultimate Offering, pay 500LP.
3. Summon Gadget, search out another.
4. Watchdog + Gadget = Steel Shogun 00X, who summons a Watchdog 313 from the deck.
5. Pay 500LP, summon Gadget, search out another.
6. Watchdog + Gadget = Steel Shogun 00X, who summons a Watchdog 313 from the deck.
7. Pay 500LP, summon Gadget, search out another.
8. Watchdog + Gadget = Steel Shogun 00X, who summons a Strategist 248 from the deck. Strategist shifts it's own battle position; draw three.
9. Pay 500LP, summon Gadget, search out another.
10. Gadget+Strategist = Burei, who summons out another Level 4 Karakuri from the deck. TCG players can grab a Muso 818 or something.


That's the deck's primary principle. Thanks to the Gadgets, you +1 every time you Synchro Summon, and you then get three draws from the three Bureido draws. As for the build... Seven Tools are subjective. Basically, anti-negation is good, since this deck can't really run Trap Stun or Giant Trunade. Thoughts on the build?

Speaking of Gadgets, the above build was made when considering if a Exceed Gadget build was possible. Ultimate Offering makes summoning three Rank 4 Exceed Monsters a breeze with Gadgets.
