Scrap " Scrap " ( スクラップ " Sukurappu " ) is an archetype of EARTH monsters that debuted in " Duelist Revolution " . They are used by Toru in " " . Design . Appearance . As their name suggests , " Scrap " monsters are all made of old , rusty fragments of steel , but in spite of their appearance and name , to date , only 4 of these monsters are Machine - Type : " Scrap Hunter " , " Scrap Mind Reader " , " Scrap Breaker " and " Scrap Recycler " . Etymology . " " is discarded metal for reprocessing . Playing Style . " Scrap " monsters focus on destroy ing one another with their own effects ( maybe reflecting the fact they are made of scrap , being fragile and easily collapsible ) and setting up Synchro Summons . " Scrap Worm " , " Goblin " , " Kong " , " Soldier " , " Orthros " , " Chimera " and " Beast " can add 1 " Scrap " monster from your Graveyard to your hand when they are destroyed by the effect of a " Scrap " card . The difference between them lies " when " these destroying effects activate : " Scrap Orthros " can quickly Special Summon itself if you already control a face - up " Scrap " monster , but it costs a " Scrap " monster when Summoned this way ; " Scrap Goblin " cannot be destroyed by battle , but if it is attacked while in face - up Defense Position , it destroys itself at the end of the Battle Phase , etc . You can take profit of these self - destroying effects by chaining " Scrapstorm " and / or " Scrap Sheen " to their activations , as well as by using " Scrap Factory " to Special Summon almost " any " " Scrap " monster from the Deck , when another one is destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard , either by their own effects , or by a general one , such as " Raigeki " , " Sylvan Marshalleaf " , " Artifact Moralltach " etc . They also have Deck - thinning capabilities , either by searching for monsters ( " Scrapyard " ) or by sending them to the Graveyard ( " Scrap Shark " and " Scrapstorm " ) in order to set up the game for monsters like " Chimera " or " Golem " . The ace cards of the Deck are its Synchro Monsters , namely " Scrap Dragon " , " Scrap Twin Dragon " and " Atomic Scrap Dragon " . Their effects destroy 1 card you control and target up to 3 cards on your opponent ' s possess ion . The first monster simply destroys 1 of your opponent ' s cards , the second one returns exactly 2 cards your opponent controls to the hand and the third one shuffles up to 3 cards from their Graveyard into the Deck . They are very flexible , and you can use them depending on what your opponent has : " Scrap Twin Dragon " can deal with cards " Scrap Dragon " can ' t , such as " Beelze of the Diabolic Dragons " , " El Shaddoll Winda " , " The Seal of Orichalcos " and " Ultimate Axon Kicker " ; " Atomic Scrap Dragon " can thwart some possible strategies of your opponent by shuffling monsters like " Satellarknight Deneb " , " Mezuki " and " Grapha , Dragon Lord of Dark World " into the Deck ; you can use their effects to destroy a " Scrap " monster you control in order to trigger its effect . Finally , each of these Synchro monsters compulsorily Special Summons a non - Synchro " Scrap " monster from your Graveyard when they are destroyed by your opponent ' s card ( either by battle or by an effect ) . Some non - " Scrap " cards that may help the Deck include : Weaknesses . Since the Deck relies basically on the Trigger Effects activated when the " Scrap " monsters are destroyed and sent to the Graveyard , cards like " Soul Drain " and " Macro Cosmos " can be used . Also , " Rivalry of Warlords " can be a good counter , due to its variety of Types . With " Scrap Golem " and " Scrap Factory " , they tend to have a good swarming capability , so cards like " Kaiser Colosseum " , " Summon Limit " and " Summon Breaker " can also be used ; you can also opt to cards that totally stops Special Summons , such as " Jowgen the Spiritualist " , " Vanity ' s Emptiness " . " Tualatin " can completely shut down the Deck since every " Scrap " monster is EARTH - Attribute . Once the deck rely on setting up the game for the Synchro Summoning of their ace cards , " Discord " , " Grisaille Prison " , " Orient Dragon " and " Shiny Black " C " " can either significantly paralyze their field presence or remove them completely and without at least one of the " Dragons " , many of the other " Scrap " cards lack decent field control .
