Decks can and will be built around this card. Mechanicalchaser becomes 3700. Jinzo becomes 4800. Barrel Dragon becomes 5200. A DNA-Surgery'd Thousand-Eyes Idol becomes 0 (wait, scratch that...).

What's not to like?

In my opinion, what makes this card truly evil is the official (yes, if you don't believe me, read the rulings PDF) ruling that Limiter Removal will not only double the base ATK, but also will double any boosts the monster may have. Yes, you can double your Axe, double your Nuzzler, double your Megamorph (4x attack *drools*), double your Ring of Magnetism (wait, scratch that...), etc. BTW, Jinzo + Megamorph + Limiter Removal = game over. Fear.

You can also double them all, then launch them with Cannon Soldier (hey, he gets the effect too!) or, even more evil, Catapult Turtle.

One thing that hasn't been addressed by the rulings PDF is DNA Surgery. There are two possibilities with this card related to DNA

Surgery:

1. Activate DNA Surgery, declaring "Machine". Use Limiter Removal to double the ATK of all your face-up monsters. Mercilessly pound your opponent into a fine pulp. Before your turn ends, destroy DNA Surgery or activate another one to nullify the first one. 2. Use Limiter Removal to double your Chasers and Barrel Dragons, pound away, then use DNA Surgery to switch them to Insects or something =/

The way I interpret it is as follows:

Due to the wording of the card ("At the end of this turn, all the Machine-Type monsters on your side of the field are destroyed."), I think that DNA Surgery would indeed prevent the destruction of your monsters by Limiter Removal's secondary effect, because the monsters would not be Machines anymore. If the card had said "...all monsters affected by this card...", then it would work like that. Until an official ruling is made, I think it should be played like this.

Machine decks are bound to get more powerful as bigger and better machines are released (the XYZ set is bound to be included in this equation). With the Machines we have, it's possible to build a decent Limiter Removal deck (good luck getting 3 Chasers, though), but wait until the future, when we get the XYZ set, Cybertic Wyvern (e. Cyber-Tech Alligator -_-), Machine King, and other goodies.
