Before the Phantom Beast Planes (PBP) were announced to be released, the deck is as simple as Fortress beatdown.dek. It's like a newbie deck which operates kind of automatically. Peacekeeper searches Gearframe, if you have Fortress, then Gearframe searches Fortress, otherwise Gearframe searches Cannon or Force to summon Fortress and beatdown

Card Trooper is a Machine, it feeds Fortress to the graveyard and trade off with Thunder King aka Gearframe's worst enemy

Card Car D is also a Machine, and it digs the deck for Troopers, Gearframes, Peacekeepers,...

Because the deck is incredibly good at maintaining card advantage, Tragoedia is a no-brainer here. He's often 3000-3600 ATK, and the variety of level this deck has also boosts Tragoedia's stealing effect to a different level. That's why Machine Force is in there: Tragoedia discard Machina Force (searched from Gearframe) to steal opponent's Tragoedia, REDMD,... to make Gustaph Max and deal 6800 damage, then you can equip Gearframe to Gustaph Max in Main Phase 2

This deck is not Machina Gadget. It deals heavy damage in 1 turn, so Limiter Removal often spells OTK

The trap line-up is all about Gearframe and Fortress. Call of the Haunted for Fortress, Roll Out targeting Peacekeeper in grave to protect Fortress, then search Gearframe with Peacekeeper's effect for more advantage

Torrential Tribute works with Peacekeeper, and Compulsory Evacuation Device deals with Effect Veiler on Gearframe or Bottomless Trap Hole/Dimensional Prison on Fortress

Now we have a new star: Phantom Beast Plane Tether-Wolf, along with Phantom Beast Plane Drago-Sack in extra deck. Tether Wolf's effect can boost itself to 2500 (equal to Fortress) for beatdown, or getting him to level 7 to make Big Eye or Drago-Sack with Fortress. Drago-Sack is too good, he's a self-protected version of Scrap Dragon, and he can also make Tether Wolf become level 10 to make Gustaph Max

Most importantly, Tether-Wolf is a machine so that you can discard him for Fortress

Overall the deck is suitable for you when you're tired and don't want to think too much. In fact, the only thing you need to notice is how many Fortresses you have in graveyard

    1. The pure Phantom Beast Plane theme looks quite good on their own

      Something like token control, I'm pretty interested but I still prefer mixing them with other themes
