Magical Android

[Orson]

Why am I the only one to love Magical Android?

Synchro
Level 5
LIGHT
2400 ATK
Gain 600 Life Points during each of your End Phases

I find Catastor is getting worse, with Inzektor, Gk and Dark World players getting more popular. Sure, tech 1 Catastor for certain match-ups, but in a deck where Librarian's effect will rarely go off (which is most nowadays), MA is the best Level 5 synchro in my opinion.

[Redsmas]

I use Her cause she is easy to hit and can make Ultimate Axon Kicker easier to summon in my Jinzo deck. Plus has nice stats for a generic 5.

[SuperChoco]

Android also makes Warning a bit more live, so that's always nice.

[AhhGoodTimes]

Emergency Teleport, Brain Hazard and Silent Psychic Wizard all allw one to gain even more lifepoints though field presence which is nice.

600+ life points gained a turn can make a difference.

[Raheem10]

an extra 600+ lp never hurt anyone. Never know, it may save your life in a duel one day

[Boris5000]

I used to main 2 but as I completed my Extra Deck they got slowly phased out for Librarian and Catastor. Maybe if I didn't run 3 Dark Diviner I would use an Android.

[Gaspar]

I am considering to take out Librarian to put her in. I have not drawn any cards with Librarian outside of a god-handed Synchro deck.

[ChaosRP]

Being Light is also great. I find that the extra 600 per turn(1200 alongside a Krebons or Thought Tuler) is pretty helpful in turning your Warnings back on and just protecting you from game shots.

[kirbyman62]

I use one because I don't have Catastor, and it's great. If you get it out early you can sit on it and gain quite a bit of LP.

[The zombie guy]

I'm loving my Thought Ruler Archfiend but catastor has my level 5 slot.

Do it, trust me

it really can. I summoned a first turn Android. My opponent stalled for a couple of turns. I got up to 11000 Life points and he rage quit.

It already has :)

True, I run Honest and BLS, so the LIGHT attribute is good.

[ILoveTifa]

I alwy use this card. 2 of the field, you gain 2400 per turn. very annoying to the opponent.

[Bubbleh]

Used to use it, until I got my Catastor back. Then I gave Android to my friend.

Android isn't as astounding as you all are making it out to be. I'd take a draw over 600 lifepoints any day. Synchros may not be as common anymore, but they're still abundant. Librarian can generate huge advantages.

And Catastor tears up some of the problem decks this format. He's not as good as he once was, but he's still got one of the best effects in the game.

I don't see why anyone would go into Android over either of those.

[Orson]

Keep 1 Catastor in the Extra just in case, but if your deck can't spam Synchros then Android is the way forward, that's what I said above.

[Viperkyle]

she was great when she came out. An extra 100 attack would have given it the competitive edge over the other level 5s.

[Alchadylan]

She wins first damage over time games like a boss.

[Kelptic183]

I run her in Psychic hybrid builds so I have access to Ultimate Axon Kicker and she is a boss. So much fun to gain 1200+ life in a single turn. It makes it that much harder for them to OTK you and makes Solemn Warning much more live. And it's awesome when you get two out.

Of course, I only run two because I have room to also run Catastor and Librarian, since 5 is the level I synch for most. Not many decks have that much room.

[Valafar123]

I used to love trolling LaDD with this card. It's ATK gets set to minimum during the End Phase. XD

[guidolheat]

With Synchros seeing less and less play Hyper Librarian becomes more obsolete and this card seems even better...not to mention she is a Light attribute

[Orson]

she is a Light attribute

Yup, I run BLS and Honest so :) :)

[necropuddi]

I still prefer Hyper Librarian just for the chance that you get 2 synchros off, or your opponent needs synchros to get over Librarian.

600 Life Points is negligible, and it's easier to get LIGHT monsters in grave for BLS than DARKs (Effect Veiler).

[CrazyCat]

Your opponent has access to Xyz monsters, the majority of them capable of running over Librarian.

because Tour Guide isn't run in nearly every deck right???

lets see, your opponent can:
Rabbit into Evokaiser or whatever they are called.
Wind-Up loop you and end with Utopia and Leviathan Dragon/Acid Golem (just realized they are both numbers lol)
Tour Guide into Sangan/Tour Guide and overlay for Leviathan Dragon/Acid Golem (not to mention possible combos with Leviair)
summon a DW and send it back to summon Grapha.
Miracle Fusion/Super Polymerization/Gemini Spark you.
Summon Scrap Chimera, bring back Scrap Beast, overlay for Utopia.
Tribute a Frog for a Monarch

The only decks that would have to Synchro to get over it are Six Sams and Karakuri, and even then they might have plays to get over it that I do not know...
And that is assuming you have no backfield and they have no M/T power to get rid of it, so with decks having such an easy time getting rid of it the Light attribute plus the extra 600 LP (how many here play LP recovering cards really) make it a better choice than Librarian

[phasmy]

600 a turn isn't big but the gains are very noticeable once you have 3 psychics out at once with android. Not common but it's not hard to do in a psychic deck.

[Bubbleh]

Yup, I run BLS and Honest so :) :)

Catastor and Librarian aren't Dark or something, are they?

[Orson]

Darks are easier to get in the Grave for me

[Final Darkness]

Catastor has its niche. Android's main rival is Librarian, and drawing a card > +600 LP any day.

[GrandMasterFox]

But would you actually get to draw that extra card or not?
That is the issue.

As said above, today's meta is seriously low on synchros and opponent will almost always have a better way of getting rid of librarian without synchro

So if you draw, it's only via your own cards. Something that's much harder to do without the tuner plants. If your deck is syncho heavy (infernity, fabled etc) than librarian is a good choice. Otherwise, yes, android is at least better in usefulness. Her effect is "meh" but at least it's better vanilla.

Though I still keep a librarian in the deck just because I like to mock the occasionally seen village of the spellcasters deck. So funny to see them squirm about it. :D

[Titus0]

I used to run Catastor, Librarian, and Android. I took out Librarian for Android, because in my Lightsworns, I don't synchro that often, and I doubt I'd be able to get a random draw off of my opponent's synchros (which even happens less now).

Main reason is because she's light and she works with Honest. For most things, Catastor will work just fine...but that off chance that I need to go into a level 5 and Honest with it, is much higher than the the possibility of drawing even one card with Librarian. Either I have to make my opponent synchro (which is not likely to happen; most will just kill it before synchro'ing...if they'll even do that), or I'd have to force potentially bad plays just to use Librarian's effect (Idk, normal summon Effect Veiler just to synchro and draw...or stack plague just to synchro and draw the stacked card...just doesn't seem too good).

All 3 are good, but they're not clear-cut staples/powerhouses that they used to be. Honestly though, I think I might take Android out for an Xyz or something. Probably Utopia or Maestroke (currently don't own either :/).

I like Librarian in my Destiny Zombies though. I don't pull him out too often, but he's a much more playable card there.

[SirDragonite]

Android + a field of Psychics=fun against Chain Burn. <_<

[SInge]

Android is one of the best generic life gaining cards that anyone can run.

Seriously, the next Structure Deck should be Psychics.

[TeslaMouse]

Sadly synchros are a little obsolete because Konami's new boy toy get the glory.
