- Unfortunately, high impact handtraps like Droll & Lockbird and Dimension Shifter completely stop the turn for Superheavy Samurai. When that happens, make Bagooska to stall out your opponent until the time is right.
- Certain cards like Anti-Spell Fragrance, Five-Rainbow Magician, Ariseheart and Shangri-Ira's zone locks render most of the deck completely useless. It is very important to side in the deck proper cards and know which match-up you're in since so many cards singlehandedly stop the entire strategy. After Kashtira, Superheavy Samurai is arguably the strongest deck in the meta, and therefore heavily sided against.
- In a Superheavy Samurai mirror match, it is better to play Abyss Dweller + Apollousa rather than Spell Canceller. Abyss Dweller stops the 4+ searches that a Superheavy player would do with Soulpiercer.
- Spell Canceller under Saryuja is 2100 ATK. Any opponent would be hard pressed to out Spell Canceller with merely a normal summon'd monster's attack. However, cards like Kashtira Fenrir and the Bystials beat down the floodgate very easily. Protect your Spell Canceller by preventing your opponent from fielding a high attack monster!
- When facing a trap deck, side out Spell Canceller and replace it with Jinzo. Jinzo is an insta-win in trap match-ups!
- Superheavy's greatest nemesis, Mystic Mine, may be banned but a similar card, Five-Rainbow Magician still lurks in people's side decks! If your opponent is allowed to resolve its floodgate effect, it locks you out of all monster effects which is disastrous! Be sure to side in Clockwork Night and Artifact Lancea when you suspect your opponent is using Five-Rainbow Magician.
- Clockwork Night in your sidedeck hardcounters decks that specifically in-archetype typing to play such as Mathmech (Cyberse) and Dragonlink (Dragons).
With a non-once per turn search that is Soulpiercer, Superheavy Samurai just needed cards that increased consistency so that it can resolve that effect to search again and again. That support has been granted in Cyberstorm Access and now, a janky casual beatdown deck with funny gimmicks is actual a real meta heavyweight (pun intended)! This Superheavy Earth Machine pile has received another incredible wave of support, further enhancing the old tools that Earth Machine was blessed with in the past.
This critical mass of Earth Machine support plus Soulpiercer's multiple searches coupled with generic Synchro, XYZ and Link boss monsters create a very competent combo juggernaut. This rising star's newfound fame in the post-CYAC is also customizable to several playstyles! Want to play standard and end on 6 negates? Want to FTK your opponent with 8000 burn? Want to lock your opponent out of special summoning with Gimmick Puppet Nightmare? Want to Handloop your opponent for 3 cards while ending on several negates? Post-CYAC Superheavy Samurai can do it! I'll be sure to explore the other playstyles and make guides on the degenerate ways to pilot Superheavy Samurai as well! Until then...
