Chimeratech is a good new card. OTKs get a new card to use in conjuction with Cyber End Dragon and machine decks get a nice little boost as well.

Chimeratech is a monster that gets more powerful for the more monsters you put into it. The only Machine that HAS to be involved is Cyber Dragon, which means you don't have to run any bad cards in order to fusion summon this -- you can just get rid of any other Machines that you don't need at the time. Typically, you're either doing this from the deck for Future Fusion, or from the Graveyard with Overload Fusion. Got Dekoichis used up? Dump 'em. Cyber Phoenix? Go ahead, dump it. Jinzo, proto cyber, spell canceler, reflect bounder, all good choices!

For all your effort, you get a monster that's ATK is 800 x the number of monsters used, that can attack an opponent's monster(s) a number of times equal to the number of monsters used. 3 fusion materials? 2400 triple-attacker. 4 fusions? 3200 quadruple attacker -- and coincidentally, that's the number you need to guarantee game gainst an ATK position Spirit Reaper.

The Machine deck that runs this combo will ideally dump every machine in the deck with Future Fusion, then every monster it just got rid of with Overload Fusion. If even ONE attack gets through from that, it should be enough to win the game. If it isn't, then your old friend Return from the Different Dimension can help, and if that Return brings back both Jinzo AND Spell Canceller, well.... good game.

Anyway, don't forget to use limiter in this deck, I mean, why not add insult to injury. Pack plenty of cards to deactive your opponents back row as well.

5/5 in Chimera deck
4/5 in Advanced (running a fusion can't really hurt you to often)

Ok, look at the pic and the name of this card, and what comes to mind? POWER XD. This card is the ultimate fusion for the Cyber Dragon family. However with its immense attack power possibility comes many risks and limitations.

First off, this card is a fusion of Cyber Dragon (which is probably one of the most used cards in the game). The big hit with this monstrosity is that it can fuse Cyber Dragon with 1 or more other machine-type monsters. This is a huge benefit. For one, the other fusion material monster(s) are not specified other than being machine-type. Any machine monster will do very nicely (Reflect, other Cybers, Golems). The other part is you can fuse ANY number of machine monsters. <.<

The handy part to being able to fuse any number of machine monsters comes into play with Chimeratech’s stats. The ATK and DEF of Chimeratech become 800x the number of fusion material monsters you used. This could be a huge benefit, or a huge letdown. If you’ve got your field and hand stocked up with machines, this is the monster for you. However, a limited supply would be equivalent to a fairly useless Chimeratech.

The other big benefit is that if you managed to stock up a large supply of fusion material for this bad boy, it can then attack a number of times equal to the number of fusion material monsters you used. Stock up 5 machines for fusion material and you’ve got yourself a 4000/4000 that can attack 5 times in the same battle phase. Sounds awesome, right? Let’s now take a look at the downfalls to this card.

One, it cannot be special summoned except by fusion summon. Well, most fusions tend to say this nowadays anyway. It also makes sense to put it in here because with Metamorphosis, Cyber Stein, or revival from the graveyard, it would hit the field with 0/0 and be completely useless. Two, when it hits the field, it wipes your field clear of everything except Chimeratech. Now onto the big pitfalls. Although this card has the potential for huge stats and massive damage, it is highly susceptible to common traps (such as Mirror Force, Sakuretsu, etc) and spells (Smashing, Fissure, etc). However within most Cyber decks, this conflict becomes resolved with a handy machine from Enemy of Justice, known as Cyber Phoenix.

Pros:

Cons:

Cyber Dragon deck: 5/5 (it’s a fusion monster, doesn’t count towards deck total, why not? =P)
Advanced: 2/5 (again same reasoning as above)

Chimeratech Overdragon, one of the more powerful monsters of the game. It's currently the newest Cyber Dragon fusion and like any good Cyber Dragon fusion, it is quite powerful. Now to look at the pros and cons behind this behemoth.

If you look at that big list, you'll notice that there are 7 cons listed and only 4 pros listed. This proves using Chimeratech overdragon is quite risky.

Ratings:

Cyber Dragon deck: 4.5/5
ADV: 3/5
TRAD: 2.5/5
