conversations:  (OOC: Face-down was Machina Defender, commander covington to hand, but that doesn't help me. You won, though I get the feeling we both had fairly bad openings in this duel- considering the number of turns we both passed.)
conversations: Mercenary Pen:
conversations: human
conversations:  It does seem like we both got a slow start.  I didn't have any useful monsters for attacking, and you didn't get anything that didn't require a tribute.  It looks like we didn't really get much of use until we reset with Morphing Jar.  This is just an idle thought, but do you think Cyber Dragon would go well with your deck?  It'd let you pop a powerful monster if your opponent clears your monsters out that you can use on its own or as tribute fodder for your big guns, and if you're in a mirror match against another Machine deck, you could combine it with your opponent's monsters to summon Chimeratech Fortress Dragon for general hilarity.
