[Draconus297]

Machina Rampart

EARTH - Level 4 - Machine/Union/Effect - 400/1800

If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can add 1 "Machina" monster from your Deck to your hand, except "Machina Rampart". If you successfully resolve this effect, you cannot activate it again until your next Standby Phase. If you control a face-up Level 7 or higher "Machina" monster: You can Special Summon this card from your Graveyard (you can only activate this effect of this card's name once per turn). Once per turn, you can either: Equip this card to a face-up Machine-Type monster you control OR unequip it to Special Summon this card in face-up Attack Position (if the equipped monster would be destroyed, destroy this card instead). Once per turn, if a "Machina" monster equipped with this card destroys your opponent's monster by battle: Increase its ATK by its Level x100, also it can attack once again in a row.

 

MOAR CONSISTENCY, triggers off being sent as cost for Fortress, comes back for extra presence/equip possibilities, can be used for Force/Cannon if necessary, and it makes for very big boosts if you use it on one of your bosses. Discarding 3 for Cannon searches any 3 Machina, makes its ATK 2400, and gives you a cheap Equip . . . and if you do typical Fortress plays, you can actually go off with Machinas.

 

That was fun. You know what else is fun?

 

Goblin

 

(Scrounging Goblin searches any "Goblin" card- that's Upstart, GGHousekeeping, the various Forces/Squads, Blindly Loyal Goblin . . .)

no Kayest no problems

 

next: Inzektor

[SnowBunny]

Just so happens I have made Inzektor support in the past...

 

Inzektor World Takeover

You can destroy 1 Equip Card equipped to an "Inzektor" monster you control: Equip 1 "Inzektor" monster or Equip Spell from your Deck to that monster.

next: Dark World

[SnowBunny]

Dark World Nightmares

Chemicritter

[Draconus297]

Chemicritter Reactant Storm

Continuous Spell

If your opponent Normal Summons a monster: You can Normal Summon 1 Gemini monster you control. Once per turn, during either player's turn, if your opponent activates a monster effect: You can Special Summon 1 "Chemicritter" monster from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard. When a Gemini monster gains its effect on the field, you can target 1 card in your opponent's Graveyard: Banish that target. If there are no cards in your opponent's Graveyard to banish, you can banish 1 card they control, instead.

 

Gemini tier 2? Nah, probably not. Still, it speeds everything up if Catalyst Field isn't on board, and even if it is, it's a pretty spicy removal card that builds field presence.

 

Amazoness

[Black D'Sceptyr]

Oh look I made themed Fusion Support, gave Amazoness GY retrieval, AND allowed them usability of the Feast of the Wild. 

 

[spoiler=Amazoness Expeditioner: Info]

You can banish 1 "tellarknight" Xyz Monster from your GY; Set this card to your field, but banish it when it leaves the field. You can only use 1 "Tellarknight Synthesis" effect per turn, and only once that turn.

 

 

 

And now you can quick-play Summon your Xyzes, Almost like, however, this specifically benefits certain LIGHT Xyz Monsters (coughnotTriverrcoughscrewthatnoisecough)

 

well it also supports Constellar and that new Warrior Star Archetype, but whos counting

 

Anyways.

 

Actually, wait a minute, there is one other thing this card indirectly supports and we'll get to solving in the next card, gentlemen because my pick is....

Destiny HERO

 

 

.

[AstralStarZero]

Destiny HERO - Diviner

Level 4 DARK Warrior

If this card is Special Summoned, you can add 1 "HERO" monster from your GY or among your banished cards from to your Hand. During your Main Phase 1, you can excavate the top 3 cards of your Deck; add 1 card with "HERO" in its name or card text among those cards to your hand and send the remaining cards to the GY, also you can only Special Summon "HERO" monsters for the rest of the turn. Otherwise shuffle your deck. If this card is sent to the GY from the hand or Deck, you can Special Summon 1 "HERO" monster from your GY.

Each effect of "Destiny HERO - Diviner" can only be activated once per turn.

ATK/1800 DEF/200

 

Look, I don't know much about Destiny HEROs, but I know they have a lot of Graveyard interaction.

 

T.G. (Tech Genus; used by Bruno/Antimony)

[Draconus297]

T.G. Analysis Magician

DARK - Level 4 - Spellcaster/Tuner/Effect - 1700/0

If you Normal or Special Summon a "T.G." monster, except "T.G. Analysis Magician", while this card is in your hand or Graveyard: You can Special Summon this card from your hand or Graveyard, but if you do, reduce this card's Level by the number of times you have successfully activated this effect this turn (you can only activate this effect of this card's name up to twice per turn). If this card is Special Summoned: You can treat this card on the field as a non-Tuner monster. If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard: You can add 1 "T.G." monster from your Deck to your hand, except "T.G. Analysis Magician".

 

Basically, when it gets brought out by its effect, it becomes a Level 3 Tuner (that you can change into a non-Tuner if you need), then a Level 2 Tuner (which, again, you can make into a non-Tuner). It also has a Gouki-esque search effect, making it so that you can hypothetically get up to 3 searches every turn without anything but your bog-standard T.G. Synchro plays. However, it doesn't get a free revive off being used as Material for a T.G. Synchro, due to needing to be in the hand/Graveyard before the Summon.

 

Cyber Angel

[Black D'Sceptyr]

how in the name of love did we come all the way back to this can someone explain

'yo why is this card not LIGHT so it can work with the Ritual Sanctuary-'

 

-I think you all know unnecessary trait limitations are my thing now folks, too late to turn back the clock now. 

 

Speaking of such, how about some support for....

 

Koa'ki Meiru (get it cuz they have a card called Core Overclock okay yeah this joke might have been better served with Timelords but denying aid and comfort to the Archetype of Yubel wannabes is ALSO my thing)
