Submarineroid

A friend of mine, Kirk, used Submarineroid at the latest Regionals in Orlando and he did very well with it. He told me that his opponents willingly took up to 4 direct hits from Submarineroid before realizing he was even a threat; big mistake.

Submarineroid is a deceptive little monster that sets the opponent up for a quick-loss from your other Machines. Even taking 1 one hit from Submarineroid is a detriment to your health. Against a Machine deck, every Life Point counts and the more you take, the closer you are to getting a maniacal mass attack from your opponent’s Machines.

Funny thing about Machine decks is how they build up that “fear’ of a quick-kill. Submarineroid offers the Machine player a strategic way to do this. The ability to attack directly through a wall of face-down creatures is a plus for me. As aggressive as this format is Control decks often need to “turtle-up” to gain any kind of foothold on the game. Dekoichi is still a popular choice because he offers a nice “chump-block” and extra card draw to even out the loss in battle. Submarineroid ignores your opponent’s conservative stance and properly defends you by switching to defense with a monstrous 1800 DEF. Perfect “stealth-hitting” in my opinion.

Last Word: Submarineroid is my favorite stealth-hitter and fits right into a Machine deck or a ‘Roid’ deck to abuse Supercharge. Try it in your Machine deck; it won’t get Sak Armor’d until after the second hit I promise you. ^_^
