Forum:Neo-Batterymen!

The Batterymen got some support in The Shining Darkness, and it's surprisingly good! Thanks to it, Batterymen can now swarm with Batteryman AAA and bounce the opponent's cards with Fuel Cell Batteryman! Naturally, I just HAD to make a deck around this.

This deck does what Batterymen do best - swarm with powerful monsters and go in for the kill!

First off is 3 Batteryman AA, for the old OTK. Batteryman AAA is also included. Odd, perhaps, but it can get Short Circuit and Fuel Cell to be useful faster, and it's not that bad a card honestly. Plus, there's a pending ruling that might make it work for Batteryman AA's effect. D and Micro-Cell provide a layer of defense, and also help me get some of the activation requirements of various cards.

And now for the heavy hitters. Batteryman Charger is a fantastic card, getting me a new monster and boosting itself to 2400. Fuel Cell has a neat special summon effect and can control my opponent's monsters easily. It combos very well with AAA, and can even be searched by Charger (one reason it's at 2 instead of 3). Industrial Strength is the boss monster, with a powerful destruction effect. I'll most likely be removing Micro-Cells and Ds from my graveyard to summon it and use its effect. Honest (semi-limited come March) gives me a guaranteed way to take out opponent's monsters. Lyla mills my deck for some of the graveyard-based effects of Batterymen. And Plaguespreader is a great card - instant tribute/synchro fodder.

For spells, Charger is the Monster Reborn of Batterymen and essential at 3. Short Circuit is at two - I might put more in depending on how often it can be activated. Inferno Reckless is an essential card for the AA OTK, and can be triggered by Batteryman Charger, Batteryman Charger, or even Micro-Cell if activated outside the damage step. Foolish can mill essential cards. Heavy and Giant Trunade can allow OTKs to go smoothly. Brain Control can provide a tribute for Fuel Cell, Charger, or a synchro summon with Plaguespreader. Finally, Sarc can search out Short Circuit or Inferno Reckless.

There's not a whole lot of traps. Beckoning Light can reuse Honests and other monsters. Portable Battery Pack is a double special summon, which is very good in this type of deck. Finally, Phoenix Wing Wind Blast can discard AAA (to use the other's effect and gain card advantage), any Batteryman to set up for Industrial Strength, and others. There's also a token extra deck.

Tell me what you think of this concept deck. Runer5h 01:29, February 23, 2010 (UTC)Runer5h

Hmm... I thought about making this, but mine was more Synchro-based. Lightwave Tuning for AAA, and I had more RFG, with Light of Redemption and Burial from D.D.--Akiza Izayoi 01:41, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

Well, given how easily this deck can SS level 5 and 6 monsters for tuning, I can see why you'd take that route... anyways, any tips? Runer5h 02:02, February 23, 2010 (UTC)Runer5h

I would drop a Lyla, maybe even two. Short Circut and Industrial Strength are better buddies, not even counting Heavy Storm/Trunade. Oh, and what about Cold Wave? You don't rely too much on Spells or Traps too much to swarm...--Akiza Izayoi 23:18, February 24, 2010 (UTC)
