Machina Strategies Return to YU-GI-OH! This Spring with MECHANIZED MADNESS and ETERNITY CODE Supports New Decks for Master Rule 5

Yu-Gi-Oh! recently shared what new things to expect in a few months. The first thing that fans can look forward to is a new Machina Structure Deck called Mechanized Madness. Machina Citadel leads the new army with 3000 ATK and a Quick Effect that can turn Machine Monsters into grenades. Plus, you can revive the Citadel when an EARTH Machine of yours is destroyed. Here are two strategies that Mechanized Madness comes ready to implement:

One way to get that plan into action is by launching an aerial assault with Machina Air Raider. You can discard a “Machina” to Special Summon it from your hand, potentially ditching a Machina Citadel to the Graveyard! During your opponent’s turn, its Quick Effect can destroy a Machine you control and salvage the scrap to Special Summon a “Machina” from your Deck with a different name and equal or lower Level than that Machine. After that, because the Machine was destroyed, a Machina Citadel in your Graveyard can come back at full force!

If a ranged attack is more your style, Machina Irradiator can accelerate itself on the field by discarding a “Machina” as well. Machina Irradiator can also destroy one of your Machines to Special Summon a “Machina” with a different name and an equal or lower Level than your monster, but from your Graveyard instead! While Machina Air Raider specializes in disrupting your opponent with its Quick Effect, Machina Irradiator proactively uses its effect during your own turn, so you can strategize the best way to turn the tides of battle!

Mechanized Madness features a total of 42 cards with 37 Commons, 3 Super Rares, and 2 Ultra Rares. Players will also receive a double-sided Deluxe Game Mat/Dueling Guide with your purchase. You’ll be able to acquire Mechanized Madness on April 17 with an MSRP of $9.99.

Maybe you’re not in the market for a new structure deck though. Eternity Code is a new booster set and is full of new Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz-based strategies that shouldn’t come as a surprise after the reveal of Master Rule 5. You’ll find support for @Ignister, Ancient Warriors, and Plunder Patroll (a new archetype introduced in Ignition Assault). The key monster from Eternity Code is a new Link-6 @Ignister that has an ATK ranging from 3000-6000 depending on how many monsters are used for Link Materials. In addition, fans will find new Dragonmaids, Dinosaurs, Madolche, and Witchcrafters. Eternity Code will be available on May 1 with an MSRP of $3.99 and the following breakdown of 100 cards:

  • 50 Commons

  • 26 Super Rares

  • 14 Ultra Rares

  • 10 Secret Rares
