Deskbot Base-SHVI

[-kyo-]

All "Deskbot" monsters on the field gain 500 ATK and DEF. Once per turn: You can reveal any number of "Deskbot" cards in your hand and shuffle them into the Deck, then draw cards equal to the number of cards you shuffled into the Deck. You can banish 9 "Deskbot" cards with different names from your side of the field and/or Graveyard, except "Deskbot Base"; shuffle all cards from your opponent's hand, field, and Graveyard into the Deck.

Holy. Frickin. Sheeeet.

The only bad thing is you'll have to banish the Pendulums from your side of the field, since they can't hit the Gra- You can banish them when they're in the Pend Zones.

I feel like they missed the mark a bit on this. The continuous ATK gain prevents Machine Dupe abuse which is the whole thing of the deck, but the 2nd effect encourages it by shuffling extra copies back into your deck to help dig for the Dupes. They should've made the ATK gain some sort of activated effect, or have some sort of condition for it to kick in. Like, while you control 3 Deskbots or something.

The Last effect is definitely hilarious though. Makes me wonder if we're gonna get more S/T or 009, or if this is the last Deskbot support we're getting.

004 can force them into the grave, just saying.

[Aman Indra]

Can definitely see this being at least tried lol

 

There is always that 1 guy in every card game that manages to loop or break any card despite how bad it seems.

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

Kozmotown...is that you?

[Maeriberii Haan]

yeah it's kozmo town with a worse last eff

 

will prob be used for the consistency boost

Or, y'know, do your machine dupe shenanigans before activating this.

[Toffee.]

You know what I like about This card? The fact that it, basically, always makes 3 live, so you can put extra 3s and 2s back into your Deck, so you can grab 2s with your 3s, who in turn, search more Desks.

Chain MST on the shuffle

[Spinny]

It's still a good card, i guess the 3rd effect is just for sealing games.

[ÆƵ–]

Chain MST on the shuffle

If you mean the shuffle into draw, I'm afraid it won't work since that's 1 whole effect. However on the banishing 9 you certainly can do it.

 

OT: well this is something. A mass shuffle at the hefty price of 9.

You missed the second part. To reiterate, The second effect encourages more Machine Dupeing, since it shuffles back copies of stuff dead in your hand, and also helps dig for it. The two effects conflict, in terms of Machine Dupe.

The only way to remedy that is to Run something to destroy it like Double Cyclone for some ungodly reason, or run 2 different Field Spells.

You could also set this card over an already active one to remove the boost.

[IQuitDolphin]

...Run Magical Merchant?

That's what I mean, the ability to banish 9 isn't easy, so chaining MST on that would be devestating

[Neutrality Man]

Okay, we can already get 003 to 15000 ATK, do we really need the boost effect? That full-field shuffle seal though.

[Progenitor]

I was just about to think of a way to completely break that last effect for no reason until I saw "with different names".

Plus 005-008 are pendulums anyway so how the hell are you going to consistently drop them in the grave besides 004? I dunno it all seems really stupid. Like I WANT to use it for the added consistency, but now I have to use Inferno Reckless Summon instead of machine derp...

Isn't part of the 2-Field Spell rule that Fields can't be Set anymore? I thought that was a thing, something about Geartown dying because of that rule.

Geartown died because activating/setting another field now sends the old one instead of destroying it.

Or we you can try dropping Machine Dupe in favor of something like Inferno Reckless; not like Special Summoning your own monsters is hard to come by in the archetype, and from my experience giving your opponent the extra summons actually has not really backfired that much. It's especially easy since you can SS stuff from the Extra Deck and the conditions for the spell are still fulfilled when your opponent only controls ED monsters.

Aaaah, alright. I knew Geartown Died when that rule came out, but I didn't remember why.

Machine dupe for life  I'm not a Deskbot Expert so I'll trust you and others with this, but It always looked to me that Machine Dupe was the Heart and Soul of the deck. I'm guessing that 1 or 2 will still be played, at least. Maybe.

[Delibirb]

Machine Dupe is still going to be in the deck... You use it before you activate this, it isnt hard to figure out.

 

As it is I wouldnt run Terraforming for this, and might even just run 2 of this. As was mentioned the ATK gain is negligible, and generally a hand full of Deskbots is a great hand to have.

[IQuitDolphin]

Uhhh, people, Magical Merchant.dek?

[Progenitor]

Because most magical merchant decks allow you to easily synchro summon a level 10 monster in addition to the mill, and then still have a way to win from there.

[Toffee.]

 

* Just be a scrublord and maindeck several cards like Needlebbug Nest to easily get 9 in the Graveyard

* 002 and Terraforming can search this anyway, so you are more likely to have it ahead of time
