Forum:Reptilianne Tool Dragon ~~ Please Comment!

Why I haven't thought of this before, I do not know. Just look at Reptilianne Anger and Molting Escape, and tell me that those are not extremely annoying equip cards when they are both equipped to the same monster. Now, who is everyone's favorite Synchro Monster that grabs Equip Spell cards from the deck? Ah, yes. Power Tool Dragon!

The strategy is to pull Equip after Equip from the deck through Power Tool Dragon, and stack him with them. For Example, let's see what happens when Power Tool is given Molting Escape and Reptilianne Anger. He would end up at 3100 ATK points to start. Then, what happens if they attack him? Molting Escape would activate, and he would go up to 3400. Okay, let's try attacking again. Now, I'll drop the Reptilianne Anger to save him, decreasing an opposing monster by 800. If they still have a monster to attack with, I can give up Molting Escape to further prevent his destruction. Only then would he be vulnerable, and next turn I can simply grab another Equip from my deck!

Monsters:

I threw in Morphtronic Scopen and Morphtronic Videon, since it's a good way to Summon Power Tool, plus I can stack Equips on Videon as a backup plan. Next come my Reptiliannes. Gorgon can freeze a monster, and she has decent stats for a Level 3, so a DEF mode Scopen can tune with her. Scylla can steal monsters for a Synchro Summon, and she's a nice beatstick. Viper is the deck's main tuner, since he can steal monsters. The only problem being that I won't be able to steal too many Level 5's, I put in a few ways to give me that extra Level if I steal a 4 star monster. Guardna is a good wall, and it can search a lot of different monsters when they break him. Lastly, Naja is an interesting little girl, since she can be that last Level star I need to summon Power Tool, or she can help out with Damage = Reptile. Sangan searches nearly every monster in the deck, while being a target for Allure.

Spells:

First the Equip Cards I'll be searching through Power Tool. Molting Escape can be given to any of my Reptiliannes, but I would prefer it on Power Tool after I give him Reptilianne Anger. Anger boosts him up to 3100, plus it's second effect triggers if I thow it away to keep Power Tool alive. Synchro Boost can probably leave, but I can search it if necessary, and it helps fine-tune my Levels. D.D.R helps bring back things from the RFG zone, especially Power Tool if he dies through Big Bang Shot's downside effect. Allure of Darkness can speed things up, since all Reptiliannes are DARK. Giant Trunade and Mystical Space Typhoon are staples. Attack Pheromone works well if Power Tool is equipped with Anger, and Reptilianne Spawn can adjust my Synchro Summoning levels, and it's a +1.

Traps:

Damage = Reptile can bring out many of the weak Reptiliannes, usually Viper or Naja. Offering to the Snake Deity can kill annoying cards, and I can even kill off a token brought out by Spawn as the cost. Battle Mania can hurt my opponent bad, if all of their monsters have 0 ATK, and Call of the Haunted can bring back anything.

Please give me suggestions on how to improve this deck!! (NOTE: I do not want to include Reptilianne Vasuki. It's a level 8, and doesn't help the theme of the deck.)--Akiza Izayoi 18:17, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

You really don't need Synchro Boost for the deck... nor, for that matter, Big Bang Shot. In exchange, you may want to consider Ojama Trio - its combo with Reptilianne Hydra is devastating. Also, I'd say Medusa is a must-have for this deck - its effect means it can take down ANYTHING by battle. Runer5h 17:40, December 13, 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

Oh, I forgot - if you drop Anger while it and Escape are attached to Power Tool, Escape self-destructs, to the best of my knowledge. That's because Power Tool will no longer be a Reptile. Runer5h 17:42, December 13, 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

That's unfortunate about Escape. I'll just dump that first, and then dump Anger. As for your suggestions, I assumed Synchro Boost would go, I'm okay with that. Although I do like Big Bang Shot.... I suppose Attack Pheromones can cause enough damage. I love the Ojama Trio idea. As for Medusa..... I don't want to have to Tribute Summon. If I can find a fast way to pull her out, I suppose she could be the deck's other ace in the whole. What should I add in for an Equip to replace Big Bang Shot?--Akiza Izayoi 18:22, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

Honestly, I don't think you'd need another one. You'd have 7 equips in the deck already - that's a possible five searches with Power Tool. Runer5h 18:59, December 13, 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

But if all of my Angers are gone, then Power Tool can't be equipped with anything, except if he's brought back by D.D.R. That's what I'm worried about. I'm thinking about two Mage Powers instead of Big Bang shot...--Akiza Izayoi 19:29, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

What abt usin a Spirit Barrier w/ Reptilianne Naga ?

Well, Damage = Reptile should solve the problem of them wanting to attack Naga.--Akiza Izayoi 18:55, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

confused about certain rulings

sweet deck man! By the way, i have a question. If power tool dragon is attacked while he has big bang shot, and you get rid of big bang shot to keep him alive, would big bang STILL end up removing him anyway?just curious about the rulings on that. Cheers!
