Deskbot: deck recipe [May 16]

“Deskbot” is an archetype of EARTH Machine-Type monsters of various Levels whose effects primarily focus on swarming the field and increasing their ATK and DEF. Despite the fact that all monsters in this archetype have an original ATK and DEF of 500, they can quickly reach numbers that rival some of the biggest monsters we’ve seen in Duel Links.

A simple backrow removal that you can use pretty easily by special summoning with 003.

A very useful starter since the other Deskbots have on-summon effects.

• 002 if you need a search effect.
• 004 can get the highest ATK and help dump a card from deck to grave.
• 005 to destroy a spell/trap card your opponent controls.
• 006 to switch any monster on the field to defense.
• 009 if you need an uninterruptable attack.

Its ATK boost, while it may seem small, is a quick effect that can be used during the damage step and it adds up the more Deskbot cards you have on the field, which includes the pendulum cards and the field spell too.

With 3 Deskbots on the field, any of your Deskbot's monsters can become 2000 ATK or 2500 if there's Deskbot Base. This is also not a hard once per turn, so you can activate multiple Deskbot 003 on the same turn. This will work together with Deskbot 009.

Sending a Deskbot 009 gives a +4500 ATK and DEF = 5000 ATK, which mostly means that it can attack over anything. Sending 003 to become 2000 ATK is also decent enough to potentially destroy attacking monsters for unsuspecting opponents.

You'll want to prioritize sending Deskbot 009 to the Graveyard to get it out of the Deck and avoid drawing it. This is essentially how you will be special summoning 009 to the field through something like Super Team Buddy Force Unit! or Monster Reborn.

Similar to Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon and Armades, Keeper of Boundaries, if Deskbot 009 battles, your opponent cannot activate cards or effects until the end of the Damage Step.

Paleozoic Canadia, Enemy Controller and, Offerings to the Doomed can still be used to prevent Deskbot 009 from attacking if they are activated before battle, but Sphere Kuriboh and Drowning Mirror Force are completely useless against it. Additionally if Deskbot 009 is about to be destroyed you can destroy another “Deskbot” card you control instead, giving him at least some form of self protection.

Before you activate Deskbot 009's effect, you'll want to use other ways to increase ATK. Activate "Tie that Binds", and all of your Deskbot 003 if you have them.

If you activate "Tie that Binds" and have 002 with 3 Deskbots on the field, 009 will get to 3400 ATK.

A searcher so you can more reliably get 004 or do a pendulum summon.

Quite useful in general for the deck to help fix cards in your hand or just as a small added ATK boost.

Since 003's effect simply says Deskbot cards you control, the field spell is included for the ATK boost, which means just having 003 on the field and the field spell alone makes 003 have 2000 ATK.

The last effect isn't going to be usable if you don't have 9 different Deskbot cards with different names. It's also quite slow and may not be worth bringing in not so useful cards in the deck just for that effect.

Useful disruption card to stop your opponent before you can properly set up. It can also be used on your own monsters to dodge certain targeting cards.

Powerful generic trap card that works in most decks. Just like Book of Moon, this is useful to stop your opponent's plays, except you can use this to potentially stall a little longer since the affected monster is flipped down permanently. It becomes more useful in later turns when you're low on resources to activate certain Deskbot's effects. Big downside is that back row destroying cards are somewhat common in the meta.

Used to revived Level 4 or lower Deskbot Monsters like 002, 003 and 004. It's Level Increase Effect which also can allows you to Xyz Summon alongside with other same level Deskbot Monster on your field.

All the Deskbots have varying levels, as indicated by their 00 names, which makes Xyz summoning not something that happens often.

However, you can somewhat reliably do this with 004's effect when it destroys a monster by battle. The other way is if you have 1 Deskbot on your field, you can then summon 003 to special summon from your deck the one that's currently on the field.

Summon Nightmare Shark and use it to attack directly for 2000 damage. Do this if said attack will win you the game.

As long as your opponent's monster can be targeted, this can help you get over them. Since Deskbots can get a lot of ATK boosts, turning their ATK to 0 can potentially lead to an OTK.

A follow-up to a rank 5 or 6 if you need a higher ATK monster that has a piercing effect.

Malevolent Sin does have a decent non-destruction removal effect, and it's good against XYZ to remove their materials or go for a game winning attack. Keep in mind that if you have Corebage and you plan on summoning it, you need to not activate Malevolent Sin's effect since Corebage needs to have 2 materials in the rank 4 monster.

Giga-Brilliant can be summoned for its field-wide ATK boost, but usually you'll want to reserve him for making Corebage.

Summon Corebage by overlaying it on Giga-Brilliant. It's removal effect is specialized for removing troublesome enemy walls, especially ones immune to destruction.

Card removal effect and can't be destroyed by battle, but very short-lived since it will essentially only work once. With no Xyz materials left, you can then use it to special summon Thunder Charger.

• Aside from Deskbot 009, none of your monsters have protection from removal. Offerings to the Doomed and Treacherous Trap Hole can all be used to get rid of your monsters without having to attack into them.
• Once you’ve sent all copies of Deskbot 009 to the Graveyard, Deskbot 004 becomes a lot easier to deal with. You want to run at least two copies of the Level 9 monster to be able to boost the ATK of Deskbot 004 and Special Summon an eventual Deskbot 009 you drew, but that also affects the consistency of the deck.

Since the only way to special summon 2 Deskbots to your field is through 004's effect, 001's graveyard effect is not usable due to limited space. It's mainly used here for the ATK boost to feed into 009.

If you can't get over your opponent's high ATK monster with 004, you can instead special summon this so that you can deal with them through their DEF instead.

During your turn, you can special summon this by using 003's normal summon effect or by pendulum summoning, but you can also use Super Team Buddy Force Unite! during your opponent's turn to stop an attack.

While Deskbots have high power output, their stat boosts only last till the End Phase leaving you with a field of low stat monsters. Psychic Wheeleder paired with Deskbot 003 gives you access to Synchro plays as a way to put high base-stat monsters on the field for consistent field presence.

Additionally, having a level-6 Synchro toolbox also adds versatility to the deck. Put generic level-6 Synchros in your Extra Deck with varying effects for different situations. (i.e. Brionac for removal, Barkion for Trap negation, Goyo Guardian as a Beater)

Since Deskbots can pretty much handle themselves in terms of stats, your support should serve the purpose of keeping disruption effects away. Rebirth of Parshath and Ultimate Providence are great Counter Traps because they have the potential to negate anything your opponent activates.

Rebirth of Parshath has a more versatile negation compared to Ultimate Providence, letting you negate any effect no matter what you discard as cost. Because of this you should always prioritize setting Rebirth of Parshath and keeping Ultimate Providence on hand if you have both. The downside is you need to have a Counter Trap on hand and also pay a ton of LP to activate it, so keep this in mind when you set Rebirth of Parshath. To compensate the heavy cost of activating Rebirth of Parshath you can Special Summon Avenging Knight Parshath, putting a good beater onboard for free.

If you don't open with Rebirth of Parshath or don't have the LP necessary to use it, set Ultimate Providence. While not as versatile as Rebirth of Parshath, it can still let you negate any of your opponent's effects if you have the right type of discard. (i.e. discard a monster to negate a monster effect)

Discard cards using Karma Cut or 004 so you can revive it with this. Most of the Deskbot monsters have on-summon effects, so it's worth it to bring this.

Useful when you get it very early in the duel since you need all 3 monster zones, but it can be an issue if you have the field spell, 002, or any kind of ATK increasing effect, which will make Machine Duplication unusable.

Banishing a monster prevents certain monster effects that activate in the graveyard, and the added bonus of banishing same named monsters works out against certain matchups.
