Skills

Strategy

• Check out this video for a full successful farm with the deck
• Can be ran Skill-less, generic skills that can be used are LP Boost Alpha or Draw Sense: LIGHT
• Espa’s entire monster lineup is comprised of Machine-Type monsters, we aim to abuse that with Array of Revealing Light, System Down, Magnetic Mosquito, and Acid Rain
• Activate Array ASAP, as it let’s you stall for larger board wipes and prevent Damage.
• Try to time your removal to maximize effectiveness, (for example, dont bother using a board wipe on a single Scrap Recycler or Jinzo - Returner)
• Try to save System Down for when you are facing a live Jinzo - Returner to banish the Jinzo in his GY.
• Before Last Turn, make sure to set your Summoner of Illusions (Use Pot of Benevolence to make sure he isn’t bottomdecked - You only want 2 Monsters Set going into your Last Turn)

Last Turn

• Use your remaining board wipe(s) to clear Roba’s board - (If, for example he has a facedown monster, you can also use Pot of Benevolence to extend the Duel by 1 turn to have him flip it up)
• Flip Summon the Facedown Summoner of Illusions, tributing your other monster for either Cyber End Dragon, Master of Oz, or Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon
• Normal Summon Gravekeeper’s Vassal
• Use both Union Attack on Vassal
• Attack directly for 9999+ Damage

Replacements

• You can replace Planet Pathfinder for Secret Pass to the Treasures to not have to worry about Espa having a Face-down Monster, but I don’t think it’s necessary.
• You can run a Medusa Worm / Guardian Statue Engine instead of 6 of the Machine-Destruction cards, but you might run into troubles if he draws an early Tribute to the Doomed
• Missing Cards can be replaced with Draw monsters like Crystal Seer and Skelengel
