[spoilersDescription]
This is a re-post of an earlier one I did in January. To make this quick, Sharkbite, Eaglesoar, Mezka DARK, and Mezka FANG are the most generic of this Archetype, they all have an effect that deals with hand consistency and generic Machine support, you'll be seeing them A LOT outside this Archetype is most Machine Decks. Tigergrowl and Elephantstomp deal with Mezkas specifically and are used primarily to Summon the bosses Mezka MAX, Mezka DARK, and Mezka BEYOND, that's it really outside of Super Combination. The bosses are for field control; each one destroys a card(s) when Special Summoned, Mezka MAX and BEYOND can attack multiple times for increased battle damage, and DARK can negate 1 Spell/Trap per turn. Mezka Force is the ROTA and necessary Field Spell for this Archetype. It boosts the ATK/DEF of your Mezkas during damage calculation to help get over large monsters, and it prevents your opponent from activating anything that would disrupt the Special Summoning of the Mezka bosses. Recovery justs Special Summons Level 4 and lower Machines from your GY, 2 of them if the only monsters you control when you activate the card are Mezka monsters. Power Protect is a floodgate, stopping any player from Special Summoning anything that has the same or higher ATK as the 1 Mezka monster you control with the higest ATK, of course if you cannot Tribute a Mezka monster during each End Phase, you have to destroy this card.
