This is an updated version of a previous list that is my ongoing project to document my insanity.
It all started with a question: "What's the most you can make when you Normal Summon Machina Gearframe?"
Today I have a new answer.
Full disclosure, the list is not optimal, it runs a number of bricks and garnets and can definitely go over 40 cards, sacrelige though that may be. This is just all the cards necessary for the silly little combo I've been working on, plus a suite of hand traps that I like right now.
Anyway. on to the combo.
Opening hand: 1x Machina Gearframe (or 1x Superheavy Samurai Motorbike, or 1x Superheavy Samurai Wakaushi).
I'll abbreviate from here, try to keep up.
1. NS Gearframe, search Unclaspare, Unclaspare SS itself, Unclaspare mill Ruinforce.
2. Overlay for Gigant, detach to search Bike, pitch Bike to search Wakaushi, activate Wakaushi, Wakaushi effect to SS itself and place Benkei, Benkei search Gaia, Gaia equip to Wakaushi, Gaia SS itself. This is the end of phase 1, where most combos starting with these cards will end up.
3. Overlay for Gigant, detach to search Guitaar, Link both Gigants for Ballista, Ballista search Box (that's where the cat goes), Box search Trencher. Banish Unclaspare, Wakaushi and Gaia to SS Ruinforce, Link Ballista and Ruinforce for Genius.
4. Activate Guitaar, Pendulum Summon Box + Trencher to Genius' zones, trigger Genius to search Regulus. Regulus SS itself and equip Gearframe, Gearframe SS itself. Overlay Box + Gearframe for Gigant, detach to search Harvester.
5. Guitaar pitch Harvester to summon Miccs (you can now Normal Summon an additional time this turn), overlay Miccs + Trencher for River Stormer (to a zone Genius *doesn't* point to), detach Trencher to search Gearframe. Banish Trencher to revive Harvester, Harvester search Tunneler, tribute Gigant to SS Tunneler, Harvester target Tunneler to make them both 7, overlay for Dracossack (again, to a zone Genius *doesn't* point to) Dracossack detach Tunneler to summon tokens to Genius' zones, trigger Genius to search Irradiator/Citadel.
6. Link the tokens for Genius, Link the two Genius for Amblowhale, Tunneler shuffle the two Genius and three Gigant to draw 2, Link Amblowhale and River Stormer for Genius.
7. NS Gearframe, search Irradiator/Citadel (whichever you didn't search with Genius the 2nd time). Pitch Citadel to summon Irradiator, tribute Dracossack to pop Gearframe. Banish the two Gearframes and the Box to SS Ruinforce (to a Genius zone) then target with Irradiator and tag with Citadel (to a non-Genius zone) to trigger Ruinforce and summon back the two Gearframe to Genius' zones, triggering Genius to search Derricrane.
8. Overlay the Gearframes for Gigant, detach to search Pegasus, Link Genius and Irradiator for Gadget, Gadget summon Pegasus, Pegasus revive Irradiator, Pegsus copy Irradiator, overlay for Dingirsu, Dingirsu attach Tunneler.
9. Tribute Gadget for River Stormer, Link River Stormer and Gigant for Knuckle, trigger Derricrane to SS itself, banish Gearframe, Gearframe, Harvester and Bike to SS Ruinforce, overlay Ruinforce and Derricrane for Dora.
End Board: Number 81: Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Super Dora (with Heavy Freight Train Derricrane attached), Double-Headed Anger Knuckle, Therion "King" Regulus, Machina Citadel, Dingirsu, the Orcust of the Evening Star (with Infinitrack Tunneler attached), Pendulum Scales (1/7), two draws, Amphibious Swarmship Amblowhale in the GY.
Overall Card Advantage: +8
I'm sure I'll be at this again soon, but for now this is the best board I could assemble with the initial concept, if not the best deck with which to do so.
