 SUPER VEHICROID JUMBO DRILL

 Earth

 8 Stars

 ATK/3000 DEF/2000

 [Machine/Fusion/Effect]

 "Steamroid" + "Submarineroid" + "Drillroid"

 A Fusion Summon of this card can only be conducted with the above Fusion-Material Monsters. During battle between this attacking card and a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of this card, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent.

This card itself is a 3000 Attack Machine Trampler.  It combos with Limiter Removal, so that’s good.  But, obviously, Cyber End Dragon screams being the better card, even with Cyber Stein banned.  It’s a shame that this card didn’t get the effects of its fusion materials as well, and it’s a fusion of THREE monsters.  THREE!!! All three of these monsters, while not incredibly, are actually not bad.  Decent stats, decent effects.  But then you are talking about running Polymerization or another equivalent. That screams bad hand management, but at least it doesn’t hurt your deck count as it is a Fusion.  If you happen to bring it out by Vehicroid Connection Zone, however, then you have a SERIOUS force to be reckoned with.  A 3000, basically invincible, except to DDA and DDWL, trampler.   This also makes it an even deadlier combo with Limiter Removal.  The only other cards that can really counter something like a VCZ’ed Jumbo Drill is an Enemy Controller or Book of Moon, with a 2100 attack or more monster to follow it up.

To put it simply, this card belongs in a dedicated ROID deck.  Make sure you include Future Version, Limiter Removal, and some draw power to help maintain your hand, namely Dekoichi and Cyber Pheonix go with the Machine theme.

Or, in a format where stein is unbanned, and you don’t own any Cyber End Dragons.

Traditional: 1/5 (You don’t want bad hand management here, of all places)

Advanced: 5/5 (In a dedicated ROID deck)

Art: 3/5
