Tech Synchro

Anybody else noticing a pattern with my decks (besides the fact I've been the only one to post decklists in a while)? Yes, I just can't let Synchros die. I steadfastly believe they did more for the game than Xyz ever will, so I will continue to build decks with them as long as I play.

This deck is very simple, using mostly tech cards with the exception of a few specific cards. Momonga is a great stall card in a battle-heavy format, giving me extra life, thinning my deck and getting Synchro or Xyz fodder right away. Hamster, by extension, nets me either Momonga or Ryko, and most of the time my opponent doesn't kill Hamster either - with a Junk Synchron or Birdman, instant Trishula. Speaking of Birdman, he combos very well with Junk Synchron; revive a Maxx C or such, return it to the hand for Birdman, and get Leviair (one of only 2 Xyz I run, and only in case I sorely need it) OR add an existing monster for Synchro power.

This deck also does well for hand count. It costs very little for most moves, and axx C just rocks house. Earlier today I use it against Fableds, and got it first-turn. They Dropped Lurrie for Chawa, then made Formula Synchron; I got a +2 for their breaking even. Next turn, I dropped a second one (that I actually drew with the first), for a more humble +1; however, that's still great. Just ask Decsilentenigma; Maxx C is a great card, especially against high-summon Decks like GB or Rabbit Xyz.

Extra Deck is fairly standard, though more Synchro-heavy than most decks; I'll likely remove Gachi Gachi because it simply isn't useful, in favour of something better. Frozen Fitzgerald is an Amazing Synchro, I'll say it now; he can be made as a break-even, he's a beater AND a wall all in 1 (few cards can say that anymore), and he's safe when attacking. I've actually gone into him more times than Librarian, just because he's that useful.

As always, I'm open to suggestions and will likely tweak the Deck. Until next time, I'm M saying play hard, play fair, and play ball! (Wait, that's not it...)
