The RadiRod Archetype

[Thundy The Griffon]

So for those of you who don't know, I'm a huge car guy. I have loved cars ever since I got my first racing game back in 2001, and with the variety of sports cars, muscle cars, supercars and tuner cars out there, a Yu Gi Oh deck with them was bound to happen.

So ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I present to you: The RadiRod Archetype. 

The RadiRod Archetype consists of cars from various companies divided into 4 groups. This walkthrough will go through the effects of each one and how they can be effective in the current state of play. 

1. JDM Tuners: The JDM Tuners focus on assembling powerful synchro monsters by combining "stock" models with upgrade parts like exhausts and turbos. Each synchro monster has a powerful effect. When you summon a monster from this group, you can add what are called "Tune Sets" from your deck to your hand and special summon them. Some of these tuner monsters can be equipped to the main "RadiRod" monster for an additional effect. 

use these to synchro summon:

The RadiRod HKS Hyper Silvia has two great effects, but be careful. you only have one time you can negate an effect per turn. Use this wisely.

 

Use these to synchro summon: 

The RadiRod Amuse Carbon R can be regarded as a beefed up Snipe Hunter, but, this can only be used once per turn and it is suspectable to all other card effects present. 

PS. The RadiRod Nissan Skyline GTR R34 is a Machine-Type

 

2. American Muscle: This group focuses on special summoning powerful monsters by upgrading from the "base" model. You must use trap cards and spell cards wisely to protect your base models at all costs, or else you won't be able to special summon your big cards. 

Search for this spell card:to special sommon:You can use this ritual card:to Ritual Summon:

You only have one chance to toss the coin. Even though this card is susceptible to effects, you can still get something out even though this card can be destroyed by card effects. Works really great against trap decks. 

It is best to equip this card with spells to keep it protected. The GT counters do not protect this card nor tack on attack or defense points. Remove one GT counter to special summon: Be very careful when attacking with this card. Though you toss two coins, it can go either way (you get a cookie if you can guess the reference to where this effect is taken from). Remove two GT counters to special summon:You are able to tribute summon both of these monsters but it is best to special summon them. You can activate this ritual spell: to ritual summon:Again, this card is susceptible to card effects. 

3. German Performance: The German Performance group contains monsters that must be strategically summoned. There are no ritual or synchro summons in this group, rather special summons with specific conditions.

You can equip this card withandfor it to gain effects. It is best to use this card:to return all equipped cards from the field back to your hand. This way, you can special summon this:without worry about your equipped cards going to the graveyard. 

Some key general spell cards that will certainly serve as aid to your RadiRods are:

Be careful how you use this field spell. It may protect some of your valuable radirods, but at a cost.

This could be a limited card. This card is very effective when you're going against meta decks that have effects that allow the targeting and destruction of a monster under certain conditions. 

Serving as a temporary boost, this card can act as great protection or sudden finisher
