{{DecksAZ}}

A '''Macro Deck''' revolves heavily around [[removing from play]] cards on the [[field]]. The main strategy of this [[Deck]] is to either remove from play your and your opponent's cards and swarm with [[Return from the Different Dimension]] or using [[monster]]s that power-up when cards are banished such as [[Golden Homunculus]] or [[Gren Maju Da Eiza]]. 

Due to the September 2013 list limiting both "[[Macro Cosmos]]" and "[[Dimensional Fissure]]", it will be more harder to get either of them consistently, making the deck less playable.

[[Dimensional Fissure]] is a must in this Deck so always put 1 copy of it, as sometimes you cannot [[draw]] [[Macro Cosmos]]. You should have a copy of [[Macro Cosmos]] because it removes all sorts of cards, not just monsters. Since September 2013 list limit both cards, it is even less consistent. 

[[Caius the Shadow Monarch]] is a great addition to this Deck as it removes from play 1 card on the field and can inflict 1000 points of [[damage]] to your opponent if the removed card is a [[DARK]] monster. 

[[Different Dimension]] cards are a great addition to this Deck because they have many ways to remove monsters from play such as [[D.D. Warrior Lady]] and [[D.D. Assailant]].

[[Dark Hole]] is a great card to have (but limited) because when having a Blackwing deck or a Hero deck it can banish up to 5 monsters not including all your opponents monsters, when [[Dimensional Fissure]] is in play. However, Dimensional Fissure is Limited.

[[D.D. Survivor]] is also a must, as if it's [[destroy]]ed or [[Tribute]]d while [[Macro Cosmos]] or [[Dimensional Fissure]] is in play, it will be banished instead and will be [[Special Summon]]ed during the [[End Phase]] of that [[turn]], which gives you field presence and Tribute fodder. 

The [[Macro Cosmos]]/[[Gravekeeper's Servant]] lockdown can prevent your opponent from [[attack]]ing, because you have to [[send]] cards from the top of your Deck to the [[Graveyard]], but you can't, because they would be banished instead. However is more hard to get this combo out with Macro Cosmos limited.

[[Necrovalley]] is also a good addition to this deck.  That way, if you get some of your opponent's cards in the Graveyard, they won't be able to get them back.  Use this with caution though, because you won't be able to [[Banish|clean out]] your opponent's Graveyard with cards like [[D.D. Crow]] or [[Soul Release]].

Great finishers for this Deck would be [[Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning]] which once per turn it can remove from play one monster on field, and [[Chaos Sorcerer]] which once per turn you can remove from play one face-up monster on the field. Keep in mind that with [[Macro Cosmos]] or [[Dimensional Fissure]] it may be difficult to meet the summoning conditions.

[[Chaos Zone]] is very useful in this deck, as it piles up counters with Dimensional Fissure.

==Synchro Cosmos==
A good idea is the use of [[D.D. Survivor]] and [[D.D. Scout Plane]] to try to [[Summon]] powerful [[Synchro Monsters]]. The only needed cards are [[D.D. Survivor]] and/or [[D.D. Scout Plane]], [[Macro Cosmos]], [[Dimensional Fissure]] and a lot of [[Tuner]]s. 

You can also [[Tribute]] [[D.D. Survivor]] or [[D.D. Scout Plane]] to [[Tribute Summon]] a [[Monarch]] or another higher level monster, later these monsters can be used to synchro summon higher level monsters. . 

This way you can easily bring out [[Level]] 8 Synchro Monsters by using [[Krebons]]. Even though [[Krebons]] is one of the main cards in this [[Deck]] he doesn't return when he's [[Banished]]. He is quite useful though, thanks to the searching abilities of [[Emergency Teleport]].

You should add cards like [[D.D.R. - Different Dimension Reincarnation]], [[Return from the Different Dimension]] and [[Psychic Path]] because they allow you to return your banished monsters. 

A great searcher is [[Ancient Fairy Dragon]] because with it on the [[field]] you can easily Summon [[D.D. Survivor]] or [[Krebons]].

==Counter Cosmos==
Counter Comos is an [[Anti-Meta]] [[Deck]]. It basicallly is used to remove your opponents [[monster]]s, [[destroy]] and [[negate]] their cards by using [[Counter Trap Card|Counter Traps]] and [[Counter Fairies]].

==Macro Monarch==
Another alternative that is becoming popular is the '''Macro Monarch Deck'''. It is one of the most efficient [[Monarch]] type [[Deck]] and most effective against the current meta. This kind of Deck relies on reusing the effects of "D.D. Survivor" and "D.D. Scout Plane" with the help of "Macro Cosmos" and/or "Dimensional Fissure", which will allow the said monsters to keep coming back each End Phase, allowing you to Tribute Summon a "Monarch" each turn.

 '''Macro Monarch Decks''' are extremely effective against [[Graveyard|graveyard]]-based Decks, such as the now old "[[Tele-DAD]]", since they completely eliminate the [[Graveyard]] and can take advantage of the situation to revive [[Tribute]] material to keep [[summon]]ing [[Monarchs]]. A draw engine is found in constantly summoning Kuraz with D.D.R., combined with Cyber Valley and Allure. Lightsworns banishing the top few cards of the deck is a small price to pay to speed it up, and, like a toolbox, you can choose around any combination of the eight "Monarchs".

This Deck is also good against [[Lightsworns]], if cards are sent to the [[Graveyard]] by the effect of [[Lightsworns]], they will be [[banish]]ed instead; It can also be good against [[Zombie]] and [[Gladiator Beast]] Decks just by adding cards like [[Royal Oppression]] (Traditional only), [[Royal Prison]], [[Snowman Eater]], [[Legendary Jujitsu Master]], [[Wall of Illusion]] and [[G.B. Hunter]] to your [[Side Deck]].

However, this Deck has many inconsistency issues, such as [[draw]]ing too many [[Monarchs]]/[[Macro Cosmos]]. To protect [[Dimensional Fissure]]/[[Macro Cosmos]] add a [[Magic Reflector]]/[[Card Guard]]/[[Imperial Custom]].

== Macro City ==

This [[Deck]] combines the recycling ability of [[Big City|Big City Deck]]. It is similar to [[Big City]] Charge, but doesn't use any of the [[Elemental HERO]] [[fusion]]s. 

It utilises "[[Elemental HERO Voltic]]" to recycle [[banished]] [[Elemental HERO]]es to make large [[chain]]s of [[attack]]ing [[monster]]s and to recycle "[[Elemental HERO Stratos]]" to abuse his [[effect]]. 

"[[Elemental HERO Captain Gold]]" and "[[Skyscraper]]" are almost essential and make for a good way to boost the attack of "Elemental HERO Voltic". 

Cards like "[[D.D. Survivor]]" and "[[Elemental HERO Wildheart]]" are good choices because they work well with the playing style of the Deck. 

"[[Gravekeeper's Servant]]" and "[[Exiled Force]]" are good ways to keep "Elemental HERO Voltic" alive and to make it easier for it to [[attack directly]]. This Deck can also be combined with Voltic [[OTK]] to make for a powerful option depending on the situation.

==Macro Burn/Mill==

In this kind of [[Deck]] you use cards from the [[Mill Deck]], along with [[Macro Cosmos]], [[Banisher of the Light]], [[Banisher of the Radiance]], [[Graverobber's Retribution]] and [[D.D. Dynamite]]. 

It focuses on [[Banish]]ing your opponent's cards from play by [[milling]] them. Then you can either mill them completely or burn them with [[D.D. Dynamite]] and [[Graverobber's Retribution]]. This Deck also works well with the [[Iron Chain]] cards.

There is also a similar build that focuses mainly on [[milling]] and [[stalling]] only, while cards are [[Banish]]ed. 

The idea is similar to the above build. However, the [[Deck]] focuses on Decking the opponent out as fast as possible. [[Gold Sarcophagus]] is used to [[Banish]] [[Necroface]] from play and activating the [[effect]] of [[Necroface]], which [[Banish]]es the top 5 cards from both player's [[Deck]]s. 

[[Necroface]] returns to your [[Hand]] from the [[Banished Zone]] after 2 of your [[Standby Phase]]s due to the effect of [[Gold Sarcophagus]]. 

You may use cards like [[Allure of Darkness]] to draw 2 cards from your [[Deck]] and then remove [[Necroface]] in your [[Hand]] from play again, thus triggering the effect of [[Necroface]] again and removing from play the top 5 cards from both player's [[Deck]]s. 

[[Future Visions]] is another card that helps activate the effect of [[Necroface]]. [[Soul Absorption]] is another great card that works in synergy with the effect of [[Necroface]], where you can gain 500 [[Life Points]] per [[Soul Absorption]], each time [[Necroface]] [[Banish]]es 11 cards ([[Necroface]] + 5 from the top of both player's [[Deck]]s). However, this can only be use in the Traditional Format.

To help reduce the opponent's [[Deck]] even further, cards such as [[Needle Worm]], [[Morphing Jar]] and [[Card Destruction]] are used to thin down the opponent's [[Deck]]. 

You can defend yourself from the opponent's [[attack]]s by adding cards like [[Spirit Reaper]] and [[Marshmallon]] as indestructible walls while also using [[Cyber Valley]] to protect your [[Life Points]] or draw a card(s). 

You can also prevent your opponent from attacking you altogether by using the [[Macro Cosmos]] / [[Dimensional Fissure]] / [[Banisher of the Radiance]] / [[Banisher of the Light]] and [[Gravekeeper's Servant]] attack lock down. 

However, such a set up can be disrupted quite frequently. Adding [[Dark Bribe]] into the [[Deck]] will provide you with a great counter. 

It may seem that the [[Cost]] of [[Dark Bribe]] is helping the opponent by letting them draw 1 card from their [[Deck]] after [[Dark Bribe]] is used, but with this build, that card drawn by the opponent only brings the opponent closer to Deck-out. 

You win the [[duel]] when your opponent is unable to draw any more cards from their [[Deck]]. This build is mainly used to capitalise on the self-[[milling]] [[effect]]s of [[Lightsworn]] cards.

==Macro Beatdown Deck==
The main purpose of the Macro Beatdown Deck is to [[remove from play]] as many of both you and your opponents cards as possible in order to power up [[Helios - The Primordial Sun]], [[Helios Duo Megistus]], [[Helios Trice Megistus]] [[Gren Maju Da Eiza]] and [[Golden Homunculus]]. 

[[Bazoo the Soul-Eater]] gets more powerful by removing cards from play. 1 popular combo is to remove as many cards as possible and use [[Return from the Different Dimension]] to bring back [[Gren Maju Da Eiza]], [[Golden Homunculus]] and [[Helios Trice Megistus]] to [[attack]] for game. 

Because a lot of these cards revolve around cards banished, [[Necroface]] would be a nice addition to this [[Deck]] as long as you don't [[Normal Summon]] it. 

Running 3 [[D.D. Dynamite]]s is a good idea because you can weaken your opponent with them and finish up with your beefed up [[monster]]s for game. 

A great combo is using [[Soul Release]] to either power up [[Golden Homunculus]] and [[Gren Maju Da Eiza]] or you can use it to fuel [[D.D. Dynamite]]. 

[[Inferno Tempest]] and [[Graverobber's Retribution]] is an absolutely killer combo that is a must in a Macro Beatdown Deck. Though you lose almost all your monsters, use [[Return from the Different Dimension]] to get them back for a [[turn]].

==Defensive Macro Deck==
A defensive Macro Deck is a [[Deck]] that uses self-cure cards (Such as [[Soul Absorption]]) to Heal it's user, and use Monsters that Cannot be Destroyed by Battle to protect it's user, while cards like [[Gren Maju Da Eiza]] and [[Golden Homunculus]] gain more power from the cards that were banished earlier. The deck uses the combination of [[Macro Cosmos]] and [[Gravekeeper's Servant]] to prevent the opponent from attacking, while [[D.D. Assailant]] and [[D.D. Warrior Lady]] clear the field.
A common trick in this deck, is using [[Gold Sarcophagus]] while [[Macro Cosmos]] and [[Soul Absorption]] are face up on the field, to remove from play [[Necroface]], and gain 6000 LP. Two turns later, by Normal Summoning [[Necroface]] to the field, all banished cards are sent back to their owner's decks, and [[Necroface]] gains a massive attack. If [[Necroface]] is banished again (thanks to [[Macro Cosmos]], the user gains additional 5,000 LP thanks to [[Soul Absorption]].
