It's a shame. I really like their gimmick but for whatever reason Konami just kind of forgot about them while their counterpart archetypes have gotten tons of attention.

So what's everyone playing for the N/R Festival? I started out with Megaliths and had a ton of fun with those, and now I'm using Vampires and they're even more fun. I've caused a couple of surrenders by stealing my opponents big monsters.

I really like this event, the power level feels about how it was back when I was still playing regularly like a decade ago.

I'm playing Megalith, with Garlandolf and Lord of the Red as guest spots. So far I've lost one game to the mirror match and one to a bricked hand vs Infinitrack. I've seen D/D and Graydle Kaijus in the spectator mode, and I've run into Odd-Eyes. Of them all, I think Megalith is the one to beat, since it has such powerful disruption and its choke points aren't easy to spot.

I'm doing Metalfoes F.A. and it's incredibly fun. Popping your own cards to draw and search and flood the board with the baboon plant guy then you Fuse out to Metalfoes to recycle the Spell/traps and monsters to search next turn and eventually ending on like, Metalfoes Mithrilium Odd-Eyes Absolute, Heartlandraco and cross sheep and a clear enemy board.

or you just make you FA Hang On Mach very big, banish everything and use the quick play spell to put it in defense and pop a card on your opponents turn.

Vampire Scarlet Scourge x2
Vampire Red Baron x2
Vampire Vamp x2

Spells:

Vampire Kingdom x3

Traps:

Extra Deck:

Gem-Knight Pearl x1
Photon Papilloperative x1
Number 50: Blackship of Corn x1
Number 70: Malevolent Sin x1
Number 25: Force Focus x2
Space Insulator x1
Pentestag x1
Cross-Sheep x1
Geonator Transverser x2
Powercode Talker x1
Berserker of the Tenyi x2

It's still kind of a first draft, but it plays well so far. It's easy to search out specific cards I need and it has a lot of recursion effects. If anyone has any suggestions to make it better I'm all ears though! Most of the extra deck I don't use all the time, but they're useful sometimes.

It's not the machines you have to worry about against N/R Gadgets. It's the dragons.

Yosen-Kaiju has been a fun and effective deck to use. Some decks absolutely trounce it (like Megalith :gonk:) but it didn't take me long to get all the event gems with it.

Timelords are exactly as strong as I was hoping to be. Which is that they aren't, but you can usually get your opponent to forfeit by just being interminably durable.

I'm also dueling against Tri-Brigade/Fire Kings/Yubel, though, so kudos to this guy for clearly playing the deck he always wanted to be viable.

I had to wait for laundry to be done before I could go to bed, so I hammered out a guide to Kaiser Kozmo, my personal Ranked rogue deck of choice, in three hours.

If people like this garbage, I'll probably add more to it, like typical combos, strategy advice, sample decks, etc.

Oh, I'm adoring this, and already learning quite a bit since my deck of choice so far has been just straight Kozmo. If nothing else, it's useful to see someone confirming what I thought; I've been running Strawman and Dark Eclipser despite openly knowing they aren't doing a massive amount (although Eclipser's big honkin' numbers can at least trick you into thinking it's good, I find it a decent third for Tincan's search). Goodwitch is one of those dastardly niche cards that you tell yourself is good because of the one time her effect helped, too.

What's your feeling on Storm Dragon's Return? That's the only card in my deck that I've found really handy but isn't in yours, I've found it a really good way to recycle Dark Destroyer.

Storm Dragon’s Return is spicy, and I can see the appeal, especially since it does trigger the card pop, and could grab something like a clutch Dark Witch instead. Don’t see myself running more than 1, though, since Kaiser with 2 monsters is significantly less difficult to play around than Kaiser with one.

I've been somewhat successful with my Triamid build because it's got a lot of recursion so removal is less effective if it isnt just a hard banish, but a lack of a hard boss monster in the main deck has hurt me a couple times and made matches get super grindy

I saw my friend there out on the field today, I asked him where he's going, he said "All the way."
I made a gadget deck sprinkled with infinitraks in it before I saw they were gonna be good (educated guess I suppose), it has the rank 3 so you can search out the r4 that boosts levels and has a few paleo traps so I can link or xyz a r2 if needed as well. Ive refined it over time and its still slightly different than how everyone plays it but the main win con has turned into Dragubulon. But Ive kept a bunch of rank 4 xyzs that can hit over peoples defences (my original idea) for all the board wipes and stuff people can pull off in this format and its paid off a few times now.

I saw a Marincess deck and wanna try it next.

It's mostly an agro build to push out a lot of damage at once. I usually try to sit on dark witch and a ship to control the game with backrow like torrential, compulse, dinomischus and kozmojo, and then push for game with something like soartroopers or strawman. I do run 2 dark planet, but I kind of feel like it's a trap since it's only good if your hand is clogged full of ships

I've found that with how common Torrential, Bottomless, and Floodgate all are, Dark Planet is just a liability most of the time. I'll have to try the aggro build. Do you have a decklist?

I've been playing my Shark deck and it's been very good. Playing against the Gadgets+Trains deck a lot but I don't feel particularly disadvantaged there. Haven't seen Megalith yet, and I played against Metalfoes once but they seemed to have a pretty bricky hand that time so I didn't get a good idea of the matchup.

I've been running Relinquished Megalith. Turns out that nuking the field with Bethor and succing up monsters with Relinquished is really powerful. Especially when you have support that enables you to do both as a Quick Effect.

Millenium-Eyes Illusionist can be discarded from hand as a Quick Effect to equip an opponent's Effect Monster to Relinquished/Eyes-Restrict

Megalith Och can Ritual Summon any Ritual Monster during the Main Phase as a Quick Effect, including Relinquished.

And if the succing don't work, I can use Megalith Phul to Ritual Summon a Megalith Bethor from hand or Deck during the Main Phase as a Quick Effect to drop a nuke

This sounds super cool, I might have to revisit my Megalith deck and build this variant as well. If you have time would you mind posting your deck list? I'm not very familiar with modern Relinquished support.

My favourite card is Floodgate Trap Hole. Cards need to be face up to do anything and you can shut down most plays with it and its permanent (afaik). I have tried Judgement of Anubis and its fun if it triggers, but not really super impactful most of the time.
