Can PeepsYGO Fix Earth Machine With JUST ONE CARD?

[@MBTYuGiOh]

Wow, congrats to Peeps - I wouldn't have thought one card could fix an archetype, but he did it. And somehow he already got D Barrier printed, even!

[@Karbonix]

Yo MBT nice seeing you in this comment section

[@peepsygo]

Thank you SO much for having me on. It truly was a blast. I don't have many opportunities to talk about card design philosophy, so it was nice to flex these creative muscles. I'm proud of this one :)

[@halowaffle25]

Fixing Earth Machine is as easy as printing an Earth Machine Kaiju. Maybe put Machina in its name too, just in case.

[@tortamons]

My immediate idea for the name was something like "Kabooming Conductor" as a callback to trains being Anna Kaboom's deck in the anime (and because it's the conductor that's setting the schedule 😌) Super cool episode as always tho!!!! I always love the way the cards turn out 💕

[@al_2331]

I love that name

[@FrayedFate]

Love the idea!!

[@aisraen3047]

I really enjoy how well the thought process was explained in this one!

[@peepsygo]

Thank you! I liked talking about how Switchyard supports the going first and going second gameplan of the train deck. That is a nice compliment :)

[@michaelconnelly6405]

I love these so much, it would be cool to watch previous contestants come back and duel eachother!

[@Gravitysonic0]

As someone who got into ygo through Rata and the pure level/rank 10 variant of the deck and still struggles understanding the other pieces of this deck, I'm glad I have another content creator to learn from

[@42VictorPessoa]

Train and earth machine support, that's what we need, plz! Loved the idea! I started playing with earth machines beacuse I loved the train cards and the big Xyz machine mosnters, and nowadays the deck is like a mix of everything possible, giving it more direction and routes to play would be great.

[@WorldsWorstWNReader]

this is one of my favorite yu gi oh series!! thank you for making this

[@thehatcaseonyoutube]

I know this may be a big ask, but hardleg and crystrons would be awesome to see for this series.

[@joshuadee7423]

It would be pretty difficult to fix it with a single card - they had Halq, which is already the card that would do everything you want for the archetype, and that wasn’t enough. They need starters AND payoffs. Maybe if we let him errata Halq and then make a synchro?

[@DerAstrophysikerr]

I think an alternative to the second effect of the Link1 could have been: "Quick Effect: You can banish this card from your GY; immediately after this effect resolves, XYZ summon using monsters you control" or something like that. That way, if you end on Switchyard + Anger Knuckle with a Lvl 10 in grave, you can use Knuckle on your opponent's turn to revive the Lvl10, trigger Switchyard, summoning e.g. a Derricrane from deck, then use the Link1 to XYZ into Dora, for example. Generally though, I'm not sure this is what the deck needs, but I cannot exactly offer an alternative. While I love the deck, I more or less agree that the classic Dozer Control does not end on much. I think either a higher ceiling or reaching the ceiling more consistently would help it. For example, something to search Machina Overdrive (besides Redeployment) would be nice so you can reliably bring out Citadel from deck or GY and also recover your banished resources for the next turn.

[@lefthandedscout9923]

This card ended up looking shockingly similar to the Pendulum Trains I made with my sister almost three years back. The scale 9 was a Level 4 that in the scale searched Switchyard, became Scale 3 with the scale 11 in the zone, and during the End Phase, if it was in the GY because it was detached, Set a Schedule from Deck, destroyed 1 card you control and up to 1 more card on the field, then adds itself to the Extra Deck face up. I reckon turning that into a Link 1 warrants the power creep YGO's been facing in the Link era!

[@safeandsound712]

"Having Kashtira become your landlord." Lmao that one got me good 😅

[@Flashofblades]

Truely a masterpiece of an episode. Please for the love of all that is holy keep making these.

[@Flashofblades]

Also, 42 card branded? Gross.

[@nathannia]

OMG A LINK 1 THAT SEARCHES A FIELD SPELL with no cost? omg thats amazing how nobody has ever tought it for other archtypes

[@peepsygo]

I know, I know. Hopefully you heard my reasoning in the video as to why I landed on a link-1 and that it made sense! Switchyard is just SUCH a well designed card, it feels criminal that it doesn't have the Link-1 treatment.

[@Lysvsyl]

31:55 Was Skarlon about to Tribute Summon a Bystial? I believe that would have been a world first (and probably a violation of the Geneva Convention).

Id love for when you eventually have a tournament with all these cards to also get an artist to do the art for all the cards.

[@permafrostlord4971]

“Oh nice I can create a unique creative card for an archetype!” Proceeds to make a link 1 with generic search effects

Sadly, that's what every bad archetype needs to keep up in today's powercrept metagame

[@permafrostlord4971]

@@milesandrews6711 it’s definitely the easiest way to do it because it’s the most consistent.

[@milesandrews6711]

@@permafrostlord4971 yeah because if you give them a main deck card then the deck becomes Pray you draw this 1 op card or lose It does work in some cases where the main deck card is extremely searchable like mathmech circular for instance but most of the time The only thing that saves a deck is a link 1

Was looking forward to another of these!

I want to see Payne96 fix Volcanic with just one card. Skarlon please invite him.

[@Skarlon]

He's not interested at this time

[@crazywhofan6676]

I think it would take more than one card.

[@sebastianpfau1174]

My Idea was a Infinitrack-Link-2 that searches the Infintrack Spells and as an xyz-material gives immunity to non-targeting-effects. The plan was to search Outrigger Extension and then summon the Infintrack-Rank-9 and rank it up into Liebe. So you basically get a 6000 ATK train that is immune to everything. It propably wouldn't be very good, but it would be quite funny and I think it fits the deck.

[@chaotixthefox]

Literally loses to 2 defense position monsters

[@sebastianpfau1174]

@@chaotixthefox Not really. Because the Rank-9 can destroy them. But yeah I am aware that his card is better than mine, since simply summoning Dora would be as good if not better than my play in most situations.

[@vajrayanaga]

@@sebastianpfau1174ignore this normie your card is very good I actually really liked the infinitrack backrow especially how they have those main deck monsters who can search specifically named backrow and they have a popping trap too so the link is good going 1st as well and if anything you get heavy forward so that's always nice

[@pilzon2899]

Pls make a tournament out of all the custom cards

[@SurxiousTheBranded]

Unrelated but I had an idea for a good Swordsoul support card that would make it more viable, which I know it's doing somewhat well this format but still. either way just needed to write it down A level 8 Synchro that that has 2 effects, When it's synchro summoned you can special summon 1 Swordsoul Monster from your hand, and when a card is banished, you can name a swordsoul card, and the card being banished has it's effect replaced with that one. So you could go Mo Ye into this new card, go into Taia, Banish a card from it's effect and have it gain the name of one of the spell/traps to make a level 7/9 or synchro out the level 8 into a level 12

[@optimusprime6436]

Love EarthBox but yeah, it's missing just a couple pieces to be better. The problem I find with the deck is that it requires so many resources to make a weak board and almost no space for hand traps. Generic 1 card link for all Earth Machines.

[@frostielotr]

As a train lover, I appreciate this content. IMO I would say that the second effect of the link should probably be a trigger when sent to gy by an opponent's card. Means going second your opponent has to make a decision about stopping access to revolving switchyard vs getting urgent schedule access. Obviously then it would add rather than send.

[@IcicleSlime]

I was thinking of a cool name for the link 1 was "Train Conductor" or something like that. I feel that would make a lot of sense.

[@chrismcdonald6079]

Special schedule being a searchable one of rules.

[@uteriel282]

i would have made it a link-2 that on top of searching switchyard can when it leaves the field set a schedule spell from deck or grave to the field but it cant be activated that turn. and while its in the extra monster zone it can be regarded as an earth machine xyz monster for the summon of an earth machine link monster. that way it would work as a middle step between infinitrack goliath and megaclops. the materials could be an earth machine link monster + a non-link earth machine monster which would trigger the effect of goliath.

[@darienstogner3187]

I was one of the people who wanted earth machine but I prefer to see someone break ancient gear.

[@happypi3ygo157]

Every day with a new video with Peeps in it is a good day

[@xaldreca3403]

Could you use something like Dogmatika Punishment to send it to the GY on your opponent's turn for the extra Set Schedule Card?

[@iradidrago7010]

Punishment locks you of the extra until the end of the next turn...

[@xaldreca3403]

That's fair. Do you know any other ways to send it to the grave from the Extra Deck on your opponent's turn?

[@IDKAWD]

Really love this series! One question? Are guests only allowed to make monster? So many archetypes could be fixed with something like a field spell, like my favourite archetype blackwing :) Keep up the great videos!

[@Skarlon]

They can make whatever they wish

[@matthewdarezzo6408]

I think monsters tend to be more searchable, and you absolutely want to see your new card in this series

[@olliezoop]

I fuckin love EM, and would love it if the deck was given another chance to shine with a card like this. Great vid! Love ya Peeps!

[@Raz0rIG]

Lvl 10 Earth Machine Double Barrel Train 2600/500 You can reveal another earth machine monster in your hand: SS this card from your hand and place the revealed card back to the bottom of your deck and draw 1. This card cannot atk if you control other monsters. If sent to your GY, you can shuffle 1 banished card back to your deck and draw 1. You can only use each effect twice per turn. Fixes a lot of brick hands Earth Machine has, box, lvl 5 infinitracks.

21:40 average branded hand

[@jobpittsburgh7083]

I want to see if phoenix flare can fix dragunity with just one card

[@panda_pls]

Earth machine is my favorite deck, but I play the blind going second version. Yes the link 1 that searches the field spell is good. A huge problem I encounter often, is when my opponent is able to clear the field of earth machines (often destroying the normal summon is enough) because most of the effects need an earth machine on the field. So for me I would want a level 10 earth machine that can be special summoned from the hand, if you dont control an earth machine, without starting a chain.

[@Ragnarok540]

It's crazy to me that you don't play the Machina stuff at the moment, obviously is a different format but in master duel I definitely include machina plus a scrap engine, and Gear Giant X plus the gadget link monster are very useful. It draws two cards but also is able to build a board. Can't wait for the vernusylph and clock work nights.

[@snazzy3743]

We need the game 3's directors cut

[@Skarlon]

i KNEW someone would say this

[@Redeyegaming886]

Idea for your branded deck. Cut byst mag and druis. They’re not engine and you’ll get to 40 that way. Keeping up the chance of drawing consistency cards like opening, fusion, luber and deployment

[@bananatron6930]

Just looking at the video, didn't Peeps cheat in one of the clips from the last game (at about 1 hour in) by using Ash Blossom to negate a Branded Fusion while Branded Lost was on the field (which specifically prevents "your cards and effects that include an effect that Fusion Summons a Fusion Monster", not just stuff that would negate the summon itself)? Branded Lost has a lot of different effects.

[@Skarlon]

Lost prevents *activations* from being negated. Ash doesn't negate activations.

[@bananatron6930]

I misread Branded Lost, honestly. It prevents the negation "the activation of cards or effects", and thought it was "(the activation of cards) or (effects)", and I'm not sure why.

[@Skarlon]

common mistake

[@Raz0rIG]

Machina Gadget lvl 4 earth machine 1500/500 If this card is added to the hand or drawn, you can ss it. If this card is summoned; you can ss an earth machine monster from your hand. If this card is sent to the GY, you can add 1 lvl 10 machine monster from your deck to your hand.

[@simongobbato7758]

Game 3, doesn't branded lost prevent him from using ash and d.barrier on branded fusion?

[@Skarlon]

Lost prevents the activations of fusion effects from being negated. D barrier doesnt negate anything, it says fusions cannot be summoned. Ash negates effects, not activations.

[@simongobbato7758]

@@Skarlon oooh okay, I have not read lost correctly It only stops effect that would negate the activation Thanks!

Can you ash book of eclipse? Isn't this one of those weird cases where the effect to draw doesnt start a chain and occurs during the end phase?

@@Skarlon This is true; the rulings do say you can ash both eclipse and maxx c. Which is a good thing. I was thinking of other effects which do not work against certain delayed effects and construed the two together.
