A new deck idea.
This is my first article, but bear with me, ok? With Soul of the Duelist and Rise of Destiny coming out, we get new monsters, and some monsters that make a deck type. It's based around a certain Normal Monster from PGD. Give up? One word: Inpachi. Yes. Inpachi. This card has it's own deck type!!!! Let's look at some of the essentials:

Inpachi
Machine/Earth
1600/1900/4*
Normal Monster

Well, this is basic. I decent DEF, and turns into a beatstick with a Spell Card mentioned later on in this article.

Blazing Inpachi
Pyro/Fire
1850/0/4*
Normal Monster

This is the beatdown Inpachi. He's possibly the strongest monster in this deck unless you use a Spell Card, which I'll mention later.

Charred Inpachi
Pyro/Fire
100/2100/1*
Normal Monster

This is a common in Soul of the Duelist, and is most likely SOD-001, so it's basic. A good DEF, adding to Battle Footballer and Soul Tiger, and it fits well in a deck revolving around Normal Monsters.

Artificial Inpachi
Machine/Fire
500/2500/5*
Normal Monster

Charred Inpachi was SOD-001, this guy is RDS-001. Coming in Rise of Destiny, this is a good DEF card, and can be brought out via many means.

UFO Turtle
Machine/Fire
1400/1200/4*
FIRE Searcher

We know this guy. He can bring out the new Inpachis coming out, but most likely you'll be bringing out the Artificial one.

Weapon Change
Spell/Continuous
Pay 700 Life Points on your Standby Phase to use "Shield & Sword" on 1 Warrior or Machine-type monster until your opponent's End Phase.

That was entirely my wording to make it easier. This makes Articifial Inpachi a Summoned Skull for a measly 700 LP. This is possibly the best Spell Card in this entire deck.

Machine Replecation Factory
Spell/Normal
Choose 1 Machine-type monster with 500 ATK or less on your side of the field and Special Summon up to 2 more copies of the chosen monster to your side of the field.

Used by Marik in the show, this is in Rise of Destiny. Use this to multiply your Artificial Inpachis to make an indestructible defense.

Other cards are Limiter Removal and all the Staples.

Now, for a sample deck:

Monsters: 15

Tributes: 3
Artificial Inpachi x3

Non-Tributes: 12
Inpachi x3
Blazing Inpachi x3
Charred Inpachi x3
UFO Turtle x3

Spells: 20
MST x3
Change of Heart
Pot of Greed
Graceful Charity
Snatch Steal
Heavy Storm
Raigeki
HFD
Dark Hole
Limiter Removal x3
Machine Replication Factory x3
Weapon Change
Monster Reborn
Premature Burial

Traps: 5
Call of the Haunted
Ring of Destruction
Waboku x3

Total: 40
