The Machina Mayhem Structure Deck debuts Feburary 23 at a Nerdy Fanboy Store near you, or in the vicinity. Union Monsters make a comeback (that is presuming they were ever really "here" to begin with) along with an assortment of high tech beasties and Spell/Traps to beat your opponent over the head with.
For those who don't remember or who are unfamiliar with Union Monsters, these were one of the first kind of Monster Cards able to equip themselves to another monster, and take the hit for the equipped monster if the equipped monster were destroyed, by battle, effect or both, depending on the effect text. Essentially, the were Thousand-Eyes Restrict who could only equip to certain types of cards. The Union concept seems like a natural fit for the Machine-type thematic.
Here's the new Structure Deck's stats, along with obligatory dueling mat and guide:
37 Common Cards
1 Ultra Rare Card
2 Super Rare Cards
And here are the decks goodies:
[floatl]
Machina Fortress
:earth:/Machine - Effect/7*/ATK 2500/DEF 1600
You can discard Machine-Type monster(s) whose total Levels equal 8 or more to Special Summon this card from your hand or Graveyard. When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, select and destroy 1 card your opponent controls. When this face-up card you control is targeted by an opponent's Effect Monster's effect, look at your opponent's hand and discard 1 card from their hand.
What's NOT to like about this guy? Relatively simple summoning conditions, for 1 x 1 destruction effect plus the ability to nerf a card form their hand when it's targeted. Sounds like jank to me.

, and ancient gear decks are ok they just aren't as good anymore cause no cards ever come out for them, and the roids potential died the same way ancient gear is [guarantee its because cyber dragons are so popular :crying:], but this one has potential that with the right upgrades could be devastating by itself or with any other machine deck!
