You can discard Machine monster(s) whose total Levels equal 8 or more, then Special Summon this card (from your hand or GY). If this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the GY: Target 1 card your opponent controls; destroy that target. Before resolving an opponent's monster effect that targets this face-up card, look at your opponent's hand and discard 1 card from their hand.


Although Machina Fortress is not a DARK monster, it can activate the Baggy Sleeves skill because it is Level 7 and is a Machine.

One of the things that makes Machina Fortress trusted as a mercenary for Machine decks in general and Desperado in particular is the effect that when in your hand or grave, you can throw one or more Machine monsters with a total Level of 8 to summon. recover it from hand or grave. And coincidentally, Desperado is Level 8 and when thrown into the grave, he will search for 1 more monster in his hand.

If this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can target 1 card and destroy it. This effect helps Machina Fortress to be able to deal with the monsters that Desperado lacks. Because it has a body with 2k5 ATK at a decent level, if you accidentally kill yourself with another 2k5 ATK monster and go to the grave, then you shoot 1 card, you will gain 1 resource, so this card can jump as long as it lasts. on the field, then you can still control resources.

Machina Fortress also has another really bad effect. BEFORE your opponent's monster's effect targets this face-up card, you look at your opponent's hand :3, and throw 1 card from their hand to the grave. If an opponent's monster activates a target effect on this card, but this card is not removed from the field, as long as it is targeted, you still gain cards.

*Bonus: the third effect is theoretically +0 resources because you lose 1, they lose 1. But if you discard their important card, they will not be able to combo, or even surrender.

    Target 1 face-up monster on the field; Special Summon 1 monster from your hand or GY, with the same original Type as that monster's, but with a different original name. If this card in its owner's Spell & Trap Zone is destroyed by an opponent's card effect: You can Set 1 "Super Team Buddy Force Unite!" directly from your Deck to your Spell & Trap Zone.


    After reading the core, everyone will be like: nani, where my Machine DARK?

    The answer is that the current playing style banishes and pushes too much into the hand so playing the old way is no longer suitable, just like Desperado used to appear in tier 1 a lot so it's easy to get caught.

    Buddy allows you to target 1 card on the field, then summon from your hand or grave a monster of the same type as the targeted monster. Because the core is all Machine, this card will be a must-have staple if you don't mix with other engines like Cyberdark,... If you remember Machina Fortress throw 1 or more cards totaling 8 stars to summon it and if you throw Desperado will find 1 more card, then with this card, you can summon Desperado from the grave by targeting Machina Fortress .

    If this card is destroyed, you can place another Buddy card from your deck face down on the field.
    ===> If your opponent targets and destroys this card, but you turn it up (higher chain link), effect 1 will activate, then effect 2 will activate and place 1 more Buddy face down.

        The same goal is to not give the opponent a chance to harass you, but Cosmic Cyclone and MST follow two separate playing styles.

        Specifically :
        Cosmic Cyclone : ​​requires you to pay 1000 LP to target and remove the enemy spell/trap from the game
        ===> This makes it easier to activate Level Duplication skills or skills that require LP
        MST only targets and destroys 1 spell/trap without paying a cost
        ===> This will help you play skills that do not require low LP to activate and can still destroy enemy spells/traps without wasting your resources.

            They all have the same ability to lock the effects of monsters that can attack opponents during your turn so you can combo more easily, but BoM and Chalice are used depending on different situations such as:

            Chalice : cheaper than BoM with the ability to prevent effects but increases the blocked monster by 400 ATK
            BoM : Place monsters on the field face down (if monsters are face down, except Krawler, the effect will be prevented). In addition, BoM also helps your monsters punch low ATK to DEF monsters like Levianeer and can protect your monsters from cards like Karma Cut (and of course your monster will be in defense position and you have an extra piece of meat to use).

                Both cards use a cost of throwing any card in your hand to the grave and a target to control the game in your favor, however.

                - Karma Cut : can only target monsters and banish that monster. If the opponent has a monster with the same name in the grave, banish all monsters in the grave.
