"'''Morphtronic'''", known as "'''Deformer'''" ({{Ruby|Ｄ|ディフォーマー}} ''Difōmā'') in the Japanese version, is an [[archetype]] of cards used by [[Leo]] in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' and introduced in ''[[Crossroads of Chaos]]''. The archetype includes various [[Type]]s and [[Attribute]]s, but most members are [[EARTH]] and/or [[Machine]], with several being [[LIGHT]] and/or [[Thunder]].
 
  
−
They are depicted in how they "morph" when they change their [[battle position]], which changes their effect(s) and appearance (humanoid in [[Attack Position]]; item in [[Defense Position]]). They transform into small "electronic" household items, like magnets and mobile phones.

"'''Morphtronic'''", known as "'''Deformer'''" ({{Ruby|Ｄ|ディフォーマー}} ''Difōmā'') in the Japanese version, is an [[archetype]] of [[Monster Card|monsters]] debuting in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' that are used by [[Leo]] and was introduced in ''[[Crossroads of Chaos]]''.
 +
 
 +
They are depicted in how they "morph" when they change their [[Battle Position]], which changes their effect(s) and appearance (humanoid form in [[Attack Position]]; item form in [[Defense Position]]). They transform into small "electronic" household items, like magnets and mobile phones. Despite their appearances, "Morphtronics" are not all [[Machine]]-[[Type]] monsters and they also represent a wide array of [[Attribute]]s.
  
−
This archetype is related to the "[[Power Tool]]" archetype, with some overlapping support arising from their use by the same character in the anime. Some cards in this archetype are designed to facilitate the summon of "Power Tool" monsters and support them once they are on the field.

The "[[Gadget]]" archetype contains a [[Gadget#Morphtronic Gadgets|small series of monsters]] that directly support the "Morphtronic" archetype. Their designs also fit with the transforming theme of the "Morphtronic" archetype.

The "Morphtronic" archetype revolves around manipulating its monsters' [[battle position]]s. Each "Morphtronic" Main Deck monster has two on-field effects, and each effect corresponds to one battle position (Attack or Defense), and is only usable while the monster is in that battle position. Most "Morphtronic" monsters and support cards have battle-related effects, with the Attack Position effects being more attack oriented and Defense Position effects being more defense oriented; as the game's power level increased, these battle-focused cards have become functionally obsolete.
+
"Morphtronics" are low in [[Level]] and have low [[ATK]] and [[DEF]], but many have effects that rapidly boost their stats and also [[Special Summon]] additional monsters. The deck also has the ability to perform multiple [[Synchro Summon|Synchro Summons]] in one turn.
  
−
A small number of "Morphtronic" monsters, instead of having obsolete battle-focused effects, have effects focused on [[swarm]]ing monsters (revolving around rolling a die and [[excavate|excavating]] cards equal to the result), and these monsters form the core of the current "Morphtronic" playstyle, which revolves around [[Synchro Summon|Synchro]] and  [[Link Summon|Link]] Spamming. These monsters are "[[Morphtronic Celfon|Celfon]]", "[[Morphtronic Smartfon|Smartfon]]", and "[[Morphtronic Telefon|Telefon]]"; "[[Morphtronic Scopen|Scopen]]" and "[[Morphtronic Remoten|Remoten]]" can also facilitate monster swarming, but are generally less used. Telefon in particular is very potent as a three off, as it is always able to summon another copy of itself from the GY as it is a [[Level 1]] monster and thus its level will always be equal to or lower than the die result of its effect.
+
There are multiple difference strategies that the deck can use, but some of these may clash with each other due to necessary changes in monster lineup or limited deck space. It is, however, worth noting that a single decklist could have multiple strategies coexist.
  
−
While in Attack Position:
+
=== Direct Attack OTK ===
−
* "[[Morphtronic Celfon|Celfon]]" can roll a die and excavate cards equal to the result, and Special Summon 1 excavated Level 4 or lower "Morphtronic" monster.
+
A common strategy is the "Morphtronic" Direct Attack OTK. This strategy focuses on getting "[[Morphtronic Radion|Radion]]", "[[Morphtronic Boomboxen|Boomboxen]]", "[[Morphtronic Boarden|Boarden]]" and "[[Morphtronic Celfon|Celfon]]" together on the field in Attack Position. The ATK boost from "Radion" and the additional attack from "Boomboxen", in addition to the ability to attack directly from "Boarden" will result in exactly 8000 damage.
−
* "[[Morphtronic Smartfon|Smartfon]]" can roll a die and excavate cards equal to the result, and add 1 excavated "Morphtronic" card to the hand.
 
−
* "[[Morphtronic Telefon|Telefon]]" can roll a die and Special Summon 1 "Morphtronic" monster from the GY whose Level is equal to or lower than the result.
 
  
−
All three effects are soft [[once per turn]], meaning that multiple copies of these monsters can each use their effects individually to repeatedly generate advantage. Most significantly, multiple copies of "Telefon" can set up an infinite loop of Link/Synchro materials by itself, by constantly summoning other copies of "Telefon" from the Graveyard.
+
"Celfon" can be used in addition to the variety of effects that revive "Morphtronic" monsters from the graveyard, such as "[[Morphtronic Repair Unit|Repair Unit]]" and "[[Junk Box]]", to easily get the required monsters onto the field. If "Celfon" is unavailable for whatever reason, "[[Morphtronic Smartfon|Smartfon]]" can easily take its place, but any fourth "Morphtronic" will do.
  
−
In particular, "Telefon" alone brings enough swarming power to establish a field of [[Co-linked]] [[Link Monster]]s. One example of such a field is "[[Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess]]" in the Extra Monster Zone, "[[Tri-Gate Wizard]]" beneath "Apollusa", "[[G Golem Invalid Dolmen]]" to its left, and any of the "[[Knightmare]]" Link Monsters to the right of "Tri-Gate Wizard". "Invalid Dolmen" is especially potent here as it grants excellent protection to its co-link partners, while "[[G Golem Crystal Heart]]" and "[[G Golem Stubborn Menhir]]" are able to special summon their link material on summon and thus extend combos.
+
These monsters can be protected with "[[Morphtronic Forcefield|Forcefield]]". If the opponent stops the OTK, but the monsters remain on the field, they can be used as materials for Synchro, [[Xyz Summon|Xyz]] or [[Link Summon|Link summons]]. This is especially helpful if one of the monsters would be destroyed on the End Phase by "Junk Box".
  
−
Synchro-based "Morphtronic" builds are able to use cards such as "[[Cupid Pitch]]" and "[[Accel Synchro Stardust Dragon]]" to perform combos using Telefon for gaining access to high level Synchro monsters, such as "[[Power Tool Braver Dragon]]", "[[Borreload Savage Dragon]], or "[[Baronne de Fleur]]". As "[[Morphtronic Earfon]]" is a Level 4 EARTH non-Tuner monster, it is able to be used as a stepping stone to summon "[[Naturia Beast]]". However, such builds will quickly discover that options are limited for in-theme non-Tuners that can contribute to plays. Accordingly, a Synchro-based "Morphtronic" build will often need off-theme cards to facilitate additional non-Tuner summons. One method is by summoning a [[Spellcaster]] Link monster, such as "[[Relinquished Anima]]", and using it to fulfil the summon condition of [[Awakening of the Possessed - Nefariouser Archfiend]], which can summon "Earfon" or "Gadget Gamer" from the GY as additional non-Tuners to use. Another is by [[Tribute|tributing]] "Telefon" for the summon of "[[Epigonen, the Impersonation Invader]]", providing level 1 and level 7 non-Tuners. Many other options also exist.
+
An alternative OTK strategy is to clear the opponent's field, use the effect of "[[Morphtronic Scopen|Scopen]]" to easily summon "[[Ancient Sacred Wyvern]]", then deal 2950 or more damage with other monsters before attacking directly with "Ancient Sacred Wyvern" to win. This damage can be easily reached by using additional Synchro or Link monsters, which the deck can summon easily.
  
−
Regardless of whether "Telefon" was used to facilitate Link or Synchro plays, any remaining "Telefon" can then be used at the conclusion of a combo as material for the [[Xyz Summon]] of [[Rank 1 Monster Cards]], giving the deck a way to search a potent [[Hand trap]] in "[[D.D. Crow]]", with "[[Lyrilusc - Recital Starling]]", or alternatively seek further interruptions with "[[Lyrilusc - Ensemblue Robin]]".

−
The starter for this swarming-based "Morphtronic" playstyle is "[[Gadget Gamer]]", who can search for a Level 1 Machine (which all the above phone-formed "Morphtronic" monsters are), and then Special Summon it and "[[Gadget Hauler]]" from the Deck; this immediately sets up a Level 7 Synchro Summon (tying the deck's playstyle to the "[[Power Tool]]" Synchro Monsters).

=== Synchro Spam ===
 +
The fastest and most consistent variant is the Synchro Spam variant. The idea is to make use of "Celfon" along with "[[Machine Duplication]]" to summon various [[Tuner|Tuners]], of which the deck has several. "Scopen" makes summoning Level 7 Synchros very easy, while "Smartfon" can be easily summoned to extend plays and add consistency to the deck. "[[Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon]]" can be summoned easily by using both "Scopen" and "Smartfon".
 +
 
 +
Due to the rule changes made when introducing Link monsters to the game, a Link monster must be summoned first. "[[Missus Radiant]]" is a particularly easy one for the deck to summon, which can be combined with "[[Gaiasaber, the Virtual Knight]]" or "[[Proxy Dragon]]" when trying to summon monsters that require multiple Synchros as material, such as "[[Shooting Quasar Dragon]]", "[[Stardust Sifr Divine Dragon]]", or "[[Cosmic Blazar Dragon]]".
 +
 
 +
Alternatively, the [[Red Dragon Archfiend (archetype)|"Hot Red Dragon Archfiend" series]] of Synchro monsters can be used, as the effects of "[[Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity]]" and "[[Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Bane]]" summon from the graveyard, circumventing the rules. If this is done, one must either use "Scopen" to summon a Level 7 Synchro (or use "[[Machina Fortress]]") then use "[[Morphtronic Lantron|Lantron]]" or "Smartfon" to summon "[[Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend]]", or use "Scopen" to summon "[[Ancient Pixie Dragon]]", as it is the only Level 7 Synchro the deck can summon to satisfy the non-Tuner requirement.
 +
 
 +
Use of cards like "Junk Box", "Repair Unit" and "[[D.D.R. - Different Dimension Reincarnation]]" allow the deck to make a large amount of additional summons, and therefore more Synchro Summons. "[[Power Tool Dragon]]" can be used to search for the latter two.
 +
 
 +
The combination of revival spells and the effect of "Celfon", along with extra draws from "[[T.G. Hyper Librarian]]" can result in a full field of Synchro monsters.
 +
 
 +
Prior to the introduction of Link monsters, it was possible to summon "Shooting Quasar Dragon" using only "Celfon" and "Machine Duplication" in hand by using the 3 "Celfon" to summon 2 "Scopen" and "Lantron" or "Smartfon". A combination of revival spells in hand or summoning "[[Morphtronic Remoten|Remoten]]" to [[banish]] a "Celfon" to search for "Smartfon" can be used in the event of unlucky rolls.{{Decklist|Recommended Cards

This build is relatively simple.

Due to the Deck's reliance on Special Summoning by card effects, [[floodgate]] cards like "[[Lose 1 Turn]]", "[[Summon Breaker]]", "[[Skill Drain]]", "[[Power Filter]]", "[[Macro Cosmos]]", and "[[Anti-Spell Fragrance]]" cause issues for the Deck. The archetype also lacks many first-turn plays after their initial Normal Summon, due to various cards, such as as "Remoten" and "Smartfon", only working if there are "Morphtronic" monsters in the [[Graveyard]]. The Synchro and Link Spam variants can also quickly run out of cards in their Extra Deck, and thus may not have any moves to use on subsequent turns. These problems can be mitigated with cards such as "[[Foolish Burial]]", "[[Machina Fortress]]", and "[[Urgent Schedule]]" to fill the Graveyard, or "[[Machina Overdrive]]" and "[[Pot of Avarice]]" for resource recycling.
+
Due to the deck's reliance on special summoning via revival spells and monster effects, cards like "[[Lose 1 Turn]]", "[[Summon Breaker]]", "[[Skill Drain]]", "[[Power Filter]]", "[[Macro Cosmos]]", "[[Anti-Spell Fragrance]]" and "[[Imperial Order]]" cause issues for the deck, among others. Effectively, most popular and unpopular [[floodgate|floodgates]]. Cards like "Twin Twisters" and "Accelerator" must be used to clear these cards from the field first.
 +
 
 +
Additionally, the archetype lacks any first-turn plays aside from having "Scopen" and a Level 4 monster, or "Celfon" with "Machine Duplication" in its starting hand, due to revival spells, "Remoten" and "Smartfon" only working if there are monsters in the [[Graveyard]]. One can mitigate this by using cards like "[[Foolish Burial]]", "Machina Fortress", or "[[Brilliant Fusion]]" with "[[Gem-Knight Seraphinite]]".
  
−
This Deck as a whole leans heavily on resolving a handful of monster effects repeatedly across a turn by reviving monsters with soft once per turn effects. Accordingly, cards that disrupt the graveyard, such as "[[D.D. Crow]]" and "[[Called by the Grave]]" threaten to completely end this Deck's turns. With few ways of retrieving banished cards, there may be few ways to recover if only one "Telefon" remains.
+
Cards like "[[Maxx "C"]]" and "[[Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring]]" can force an early end to the player's turn. However, notably, "[[Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit]]" does not. This is a common misconception due to "Ghost Ogre" stopping the effect of "[[Gagaga Cowboy]]", who has an effect similar to a "Morphtronic" monster. However, "Morphtronic" monsters check their battle position upon effect [[activation]], not [[resolution]], so the effect will still apply as normal.
  
−
As with many Decks, many common [[hand trap]]s such as "[[Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring]]", "[[Nibiru, the Primal Being]]", and "[[Maxx "C"]]" ([[OCG]]-only) are always a looming danger. "Maxx "C"", however, can be a double-edged sword, as players using the "Telefon" loop while it is in effect can force the opponent to deplete every card in their Deck, though at the risk of them drawing into another potentially turn-ending counter. "Nibiru" also does not stop the "Telefon" loop if it is used too early, as any method of reviving a "Telefon" will simply cause the loop to begin anew.
+
As most good "Morphtronic" monsters are [[Machine]]-[[Type]] monsters, "[[System Down]]" is an extremely powerful counter to the deck, especially due to its reliance on revival effects. "[[Chimeratech Fortress Dragon]]" can by used to strong effect against all but the Synchro Spam variant. "[[Power Tool Dragon]]" and "[[Morphtronic Forcefield]]" cannot prevent this because they are all being used as [[Fusion Material Monsters]].
 +
 
 +
The Equip variant can be hampered with cards like "[[Dark Highlander]]", "[[Eternal Rest]]", "[[Really Eternal Rest]]", "[[The Emperor's Holiday]]", "[[Armored Glass]]", "[[Armor Break]]", "[[Disarmament]]" and "[[Collected Power]]".
  
−
"Power Tool Braver Dragon" is an important end board card, but its power can be reduced easily with simple backrow removal cards like "[[Harpie's Feather Duster]]", "[[Galaxy Cyclone]]", or "[[Twin Twisters]]". With most "Morphtronic" monsters being [[Machine]] monsters and being reliant on the Graveyard, "[[System Down]]" and "[[Chimeratech Fortress Dragon]]" can prove devastating to the Deck, without non-Machine cards present.
