 Trading Card Game Tips from fans

 

 

From: Chaos mech
Subject: The big MM... the new meta?-- Chaosmech

Hey everyone. I've decided to swallow my pride (ha ha) and start sending in tips again. Especially since I discovered a hilarious combo (in my opinion) that could be worked into a game-winning deck.
What could it be? you wonder. Well, it involves five parts, so it's fairly complicated. But four of the five parts are/can be useful outside the combo,

so it helps set itself up.
The Fat Five are:
A Monarch (Zaborg, Thestalos, Mobius)
D. D. Scout Plane/Survivor
Macro Cosmos
Robbin' Goblin
Begone, Knave!

Have you figured the combo out yet? If you haven't, I'll explain it to you.
It goes like this. You have Macro Cosmos, Robbin' Goblin, and Begone, Knave!

face up on the field. You also have a D. D. Scout Plane/Survivor (both of which will simply return, no matter how they're destroyed as long as Macro Cosmos is face-up) on the field. Now, simply tribute for the appropriate Monarch (Zaborg usually works best) using your DDS(P). That monster is removed from play. When Zaborg hits the field, he destroys a monster, which is also removed from play. If your opponent has any face-down monsters, you should destroy those, and attack the face-up ones. If Mobius, destroy your opponent's defensive S/Ts. Your Monarch does damage, taking a card from the hand of your opponent (which is also removed from play), and also RETURNING THE MONARCH TO YOUR HAND for use next turn. At the end, your DDS(P) comes back, and you have ready tribute bait for your monarchs. Repeat until your opponent's entire hand is gone.
Once that's done, they'll be reduced to topdecking. If it's a monster, they can either set, in which case Zaborg can nuke it, or summon it, so Zaborg can nuke it, or summon and attack your DDS(P) which will be removed from play and come back next turn, and then Zaborg nukes it. If it's a S/T, hopefully you have Mobius in your hand by now, so you tribute for Mobius and

nuke the S/T. If they keep it in their hand, you could tribute for Thestalos

if you have it, or just attack with your DDS(P) and take it from their hand,

then summon/set your DDS(P) in your Main Phase 2. And because your Monarchs continue to return to your hand after doing damage, they are safe from destruction, and all you have on the field are your DDS(P)s, which when destroyed return anyway.
Granted, this whole combo rides on Macro Cosmos and having a Monarch. But given a certain build (5 monarchs and three Macros) you can almost guarantee

you'll have at least part of the combo. Begone Knave! is the only part that doesn't really hold on its own, although you can use it as a bit of pesky bounce if you're desperate. And the rest of the cards in the deck will hold their own, with or without Macro Cosmos. And if your Monarchs are bouncing, you can rest assured that your Goblin hit made up for your lack of field presence.
So, without further ado, I give you Macro Monarch Control!!

Zaborg the Thunder Monarch x2
Mobius the Frost Monarch x2
Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch
Non-tribute: 15
D. D. Scout Plane x3
D. D. Survivor x3

Brain Control x2
Traps: 10
Macro Cosmos x3
Robbin' Goblin x2
Begone, Knave!
Torrential Tribute
Raigeki Break x2
Return from the Different Dimension x1
Why two Lightning Vortex and two Raigeki break? If you wanted to, you could discard those D.D. Scout planes in your hand while Macro is on the field, and use the effect for virtually free. Also, with Monarchs constantly bouncing to your hand, you will have quite a large hand size, and you'll want to utilize those cards without having to meaninglessly discard them at the end of your turn. Bazoo pumps himself, and primes the D. D. Scout Plane pistol if they went to the Graveyard before Macro was on the field. Banisher

is for Macro Support. Mask of Darkness is for retrieving those crucial traps

from the Graveyard should they be destroyed.
That's all. I hope you enjoyed it, and if anyone tries this out and wins something big, please let me know! I'd like to know I was right.
Keep it cool, y'all.
Chaosmech
