Is Machinedramon Playable in BT16?? Deck Profile: Digimon TCG 

Thanks friend!! 😊 if you want more to chew on, i neglected to mention it but ive also been chewing on the possibility of BT16 Publimon 👀 alittle more situational but if yellow is your struggle matchup, hesextremely solid! Genuinely black has SO MANY generically good 3a and 4s, its so hard to narrow down what to use 😅 ill tell ya right now though is Sideboards ever enter the game, Publimon is an autoinclude for me!

Agree for the most part! I will say thats exactly why im playing the 4s that i am, the bodies are ones im comfortable hard-playing to extend my board that still provide value outside of the raising area. I hard play Hover pretty frequently just to expand my ability to agress / close out games, its a really tricky balancing act wanting to have the option of building in raising in the matchups where i need to, while being able to play straight from the hand if my board gets cleared. Another 4 ive been toying with is Publimon, i may end up swapping out the Guardromons for a pair of em. There are just so many options for our base at this point its hard to pick just one thing 😂

Tbh, there are a metric ton 😅 its entirely dependant on your meta and what you feel the most concerned about. Literally any of the following are viable in a vaccuum- Ex1 Guardromon (draw power) Bt16 Publimon (situational but very powerful) Bt15 Gladimon (synergies i mentioned in the vid) St15 Greymon (bonus points if youre playing Tai, extra bonus points if you also opt to play st15 Agumon) Bt12 Mercurymon / Grumblemon (hybrid for game still excellent option) Bt5 Mekanorimon (pretty fragile these days, but still shuts down agression for a few turns, especially backed up by Tai) Either vanille Numemon or Tankmon for raw stats efficiency Honestly the list goes on and on 😅 id say experiment and see what it is you need in that space. Its guna take lots of trial and error for sure, but Raremon is NOT a Necessity!

I also do this and man does it feel good but i think it's definitely locals dependant. My most recent outing had 4 games and 3 of them were magnaX. Not always having that extra 2k from tai hurt. My list is already similar to his one (minus raremon) but losing Matt is a tough call. Such decisions

Not odd at all! Ive played Matt in some of my past lists, hes definately a hidden gem in Machine lists! Space is just tiggt and since this is a format dominated by massive bodies with lots of effect protections i opted for Tai to make sure we can get over them when we need to :)

That is incorrect, no such errata exists. Burst digivolving is just an alternate digivolution condition, it's in the same vein as DNA Digivolving or any of the other such methods. If you meet the special digivolution method requirements you are free to use that alternate method, but as long as there's base digivolution requirements (a colored circle that outlines what you digivolve from on the left side of the card) you can digivolve using that method at any time. Just like if I have bt8 Kimeramon, obviously digivolving through the DNA method is preferred, but he can still digivolve from any color level 4 for a cost of 4

This is Ex3 Cyberdra

@@mattheusjob3287 noticed when I got home and my homie built it. XD we did our own version, but so far has beaten bagra, belphimon, and dark night . So here's hoping he does ok into the meta. XD

@@badwulfe9801 BY BAGRA?! Lmao

Yea he murdered that match. X,.,x megidramon bt-08 killing my yuu was just bad feels.

I havent yet but ive been meaning to! I know some of the guys in my discord have been on it and getting good results, DemiMeramon seems to be turning Purple base into the new Red base: the disposable draw engines backed up by megazoo plays. Pretty cool honestly! But im too scared to not have anything to use as my black source for Supreme Connection 😭

100% a space issue. Im also kind of fickle on him in Machine just because we have so many other cards that already remove bodies and de-digivolve things 😅 its great vs Nume but the problem is hes pretty lackluster against most other decks in the format that keep it to 1 or 2 stacks. Id rather just blow the extra bodies off with my inherits and save room for consistancy pieces personally

That approach is def not one ive heard! I like the d-brigade package alot but hadnt considered how well it synergizes with Ryo. As far as top end yeah, I strongly recommend swapping out the machines for connections. Im actually adjusting my list after some more testing, going down to only 7 rookies and 5 champs while bumping up AHMD to 3, its just utterly vital to be able to blitz in EX1 on pivotal turns. Ex1 is by far the best card in the deck right now, ive considered bumping him up to 4 even, but i think that could be a few too heavy on the topend. I will say time and time again Tai is proving to be exceptional this format, the dp boost is relevant in just about every matchup right now. Im still very wary of EX3 Cyberdramon though, there are situations id rather just have the boost, especially in the Tyrant matchup where if its Cyberdramon you cant swing over it unless they choose to redirect, and i tend to shy away from scenarios that put the decision in my opponents hands. That being said, including a copy of ex3 WITH the bt6 pair sounds solid. I even said in the video, db buffs are hugely relevant right now.

​@@AvidHerpetologist when you attack with machine, you can suspend ryo to give machinedramon 1k, and when he becomes suspended he keeps your ex3 cyberdramon's DP buff active when you attack, giving +3k in total both on your turn and your opponent's turn, but yeah it definitely can be bad if you don't see both when you need to, i understand the preference of consistency with the DP megadramon/gigadramons

I picked up the materials for purple base and am just waiting to get a few things in the mail atm! I think purple base has a lot of strengths, it just also has some scary weaknesses. If you cant establish a black source you can have a hard time doing much during the course of the game, but Ukko and Demimera can obviously help to hopefully keep that from being a problem

@@AvidHerpetologist yeah, it's rough playing out the supreme connections if you don't have analogman and the opponent has a chokehold on the field, like versus numemon or yellow decks for example. floodgates that prevent supreme connection and or ex1 machinedramon's memory gain is also a problem, and numemon can comfortably run both

Did you have a deck list

@@TheDarkagee I'll take a picture of it and link an Imgur. But its been working great so far, got 2nd at an Evo cup only losing to Yellow Vac. (They opened Patamon/T.K both games was hard to keep up)

@@monterio905 looking forward to it and congratulations ✌️

​@monterio905 any updates?/link

I'd also be interested

Red Hybrid in my experience is heavily slanted in Machine's favor, but its a question of speed. If they cant kill you outright, they get punished hard on the crackback. Its a deck that relies strictly on normal deletion so it plays into Machine's strengths.

Its definately solid, ive played it before and had good results! But being able to crest 13k consistantly is literally live-or-die this format. You HAVE to be able to shut down MagnaX if you want a chance to conpete right now, and an Analog + Tai still gets you to 4 which is enough to play Machinedramon without passing turn now. The extra dp is just relevant in way too many matchups, and tbh the fact that it can also proc on your smaller blockers bringing them to 7k also helps keep your walls up befire youre reasy to bring out your 6s :)

I think its alright, the trouble is she basically functions as a 4-cost Calling, because you cant really do anything with her after using the on-play. THAT BEING SAID, if youre on a Purple base with DemiMeramon and other draw outlets, and you can evo into her and dont have to hard play her, I think shes MUCH better.

I did consider him actually! Its the reboot inherit on top of it that pushed me into Gladi. Tbh if we had a 4 with both + the cyborg/machine trait, that would be incredible 😭

Yeah Purple base has kinda taken over as the new Red base, its the "disposable rookies and then play megazoo" playstyle from back when. I love that the deck is getting more and more ways to play it, but i swear this is also why people dont bother picking the deck up, theres just too many options and everyone approaches it differently 😅 why take the time to figure out a build that works, then learn your specific build's playstyle and matchups, and practice wjth it, when you can just pick up Nume or Mirage where 90% of your deck is already decided the second you select your archetype 🙃

@@AvidHerpetologist untill ukko gets limited i think its the way to go!, but yes this tends to be peoples side game so they dont tend to put effort into deck building. The deck can be really powerful but I agree its hard to play/build, basically the reason seccon doesn't totally dominate every event.

Very interested in this, can you share your list? I'm just getting back into the game and am the only machinedramon stan in the group. Want to make sure I build solid from the start! Thanks!!

@joshuanetto6297 i put my full list typed out in every video description! If you want a purple list youre welcome to join my discord as well, i dont have a purple list personally but some of the gents in there do! :)
