3:28 the metalgreymon dies to dp depletion before the Rapidmon X's on evolve can trigger. Something I learned from the Automatic sim. Metalgreymon is 8k, Rapidmon -5k, then Rapid X -4k. 9k total dp depletion (unless you have an inherit that gives more dp during opponent's turn which I have not seen in any Machinedramon lists) Aura's are put into effect immediately it turns out. Quick way to deal with DNA decks with partition (like imperialdramon) it turns out.
Machinedramon is like this magically weird thing that no one wants to play against, but always beats anyway. Unfortunately Machinedramon is not good anymore. I don't think it ever really was /good/ but now its just outright bad. I wish they'd give it real support. Maybe an ACE? or something that trashes two sources to prevent de-digivolve? Something. It gets outed by almost every good deck in the format. 😭
Def think the biggest issue is that the stack gets outed fairly easily depending on what you're playing against. And now most decks that may not be able to directly out it can just go around it which also makes it difficult. It can and always will be a grind to play against but it would benefit from new support.
