Fluff Fluff vs Muffin Zub Zub
Battlin' Boxers vs. Machina Geartown Gadgets?
Result of the Duel: Testee lost: 1-2 (4/10)

Deck Rating Total: 12/45

Main Deck Structure: 3/15 - Being someone who mains Machina Gadgets myself, this is honestly far from what a good Machina Gadget deck could be. To start its 50 cards which is WAY too big. 40 cards or gtfo. You run 3 of almost every monster. You only need 2 sets of Gadgets and you barely even need 3 of Gearframe/Fortress. Burdan Of The Mighty is a terrible card against anything that uses xyz. Giga Power + The Seal Of Orichalcos... no. Giga Power would help me out if I had an earth based deck as well, and The Seal completely defeats the whole purpose of the deck. From what I'm seeing, you're almost focusing more on beater style Gadgets rather than good xyz ones. Starlight Road isn't even a thing anymore. Exciton/Dark Hole are the only cards that are prevalent this format that kill a large number of things. 3 Double Summon is asking to dead draw yourself. Gorz I don't even see why you'd run considering you have like 6 field spells and it has no synergy with the deck. Then there's the Ancient Gears. Your reasoning behind running them was to have Geartown up then set a new field spell and summon Gadjiltron. Problem is; that doesn't work anymore. With this new format Konami changed the rules on that. Setting over Geartown will do you absolutely nothing. You're also missing a lot of staple cards that you SHOULD have in there. Book of Moon, Compulsory + Dimensional Prison MAINED AND NOT SIDED, Wiretap, and Breakthrough/Fiendish for effect negations. Veiler doesn't belong in Gadgets. The thing that REALLY gets me is the fact that you're not running Tin Goldfish. That's a card you MUST have in Machina Gadgets.

Main Deck Synergy: 4/10 - There's little going on. Too clogged with a bunch of crap you really don't need. Field spells that are utterly useless. Overall between card choices and the fact that its 50 cards: its not good.

Side Deck: 3/10 - Kay so Dimensional Prison and Compulsory you should main deck for starters. Macro and Fissure would be annoying to your deck considering Fortress and Redox would be dead thus rendering any rank 7 plays you have gone. Poisonous Winds... wtf. The ONLY deck I think that has any impact on the game anymore that has Wind attribute monsters is Harpies and they're not even that good. Rai-Oh shouldn't even be a side deck option in your deck considering Machina Gadgets search out the ass. Grand Mole I'd almost see because I myself ran it in side deck irl when I had no money for legit side deck cards but there's A LOT of better options. Royal Prison would hurt you the same way Macro/Fissure would; it'd shut down Redox and Fortress in the grave which is where they activate most. Imo Shadow Imprisoning Mirror is the only thing that truly belongs in there.

Extra Deck: 2/10 - Big Eye and Corn are the ONLY things that are good. Fairy King is horrible in every deck ever. Ouroboros and Shark Drake take 3 materials which is do-able in a Gadget deck that runs Kagetokage or gets lucky but you don't even run Tin Goldfish so your odds of getting 3 level 4s is VERY slim. Kochi.. oh my god no. 2 Utopia is just a decision that should never be made unless you're running a Utopia deck. Pearl is bad. Steelswarm Roach isn't even a thing anymore. Photon Pappy isn't relevant anymore. A lot of this stuff is beyond outdated. Then there's a Colossal Fighter and Catastor that you'd need to waste a Veiler to even make which is entirely a horrible choice. Photon Strike Bounzer? How the fuck are you even going to make that with no level 6 targets? No 101, no Exciton, No Abyss Dweller, no Ragna Zero, nothing. It's terrible to look at.

Notes on Deck: ^^^^

Match Performance Total: 15/35

Use of Cards: 5/10 - You did decent with what you had. A lot of your cards overall though were horrible choices so your dueling was impacted from that. Some times I really wondered why you'd do some of the things you did because there were a lot better options at play. You set some of your Gadgets which isn't a smart move in itself since you miss search. There was a time where you had Gearframe and Fortress on the field and in mp2 you didn't use Gearframe's effect to attach to Fortress. Would've been a smart move to make on your part. When you played The Seal Of Orichalcos I just lost all hope in you. You don't run that card unless you really don't need an extra deck in the first place. Running it in something that's supposed to be heavily xyz oriented is just bad.

Concentration: 2/10 - You missed and forgot a lot of things that I had to remind you of. Rai-Oh stops Gadget searches which you forgot the turn after I played it. You missed how Lance worked so your math was all over the place. Dimensional Prison won't activate Fortress' effect because its not a monster effect. You also missed the fact that when you attack Glassjaw it'll destroy itself thus resulting in a replay. You could've done 4300 damage that turn to me. Instead, you only did 1800.

Control of the Duel: 3/10 - Game 1 I had complete control. Game 2 I opened all monsters and you opened broke and basically sacked for game so you had control there. Game 3 you almost had control at times but I had answers for what you had. The fact that your deck lacks consistency plays a part here.

Siding Skills: 5/5 - Although Compuls and Dimensional Prison SHOULD BE MAINED, you did side them which help against my Boxers so I have to give you points for that.

Ruling Test Score: 2/10
