Draw engine Draw engine is a term referring to the way that a Duelist may draw cards from his / her Deck , to maintain hand advantage . Destiny Draw Engine . The Destiny Engine functions by using " Destiny Draw " to discard " Destiny HERO " monsters whose effect ( s ) are more beneficial from being in the Graveyard , such as " Destiny HERO - Malicious " or " Destiny HERO - Dasher " . " Elemental HERO Stratos " is commonly used to get the " Destiny HERO " you need , and so " Reinforcement of the Army " is used . This became quite a useful method of summoning the Monarchs , creating the so - called Perfect Circle Deck . " Destiny Draw " is Semi - Limited as of the March 2011 Lists , and finally Unlimited as of the September 2012 Lists making the engine viable again . This deck also works well with " Card of Safe Return " . Allure Draw Engine . This works by banish ing DARK monsters , such as " Dark Magician of Chaos " , then reviving those monster ( s ) with either " Dimension Fusion " , " Return from the Different Dimension " or more popularly , " Escape from the Dark Dimension " . With the March 2010 Lists it was Limited , severely hampering this draw engine . Card of Safe Return Engine . Can be better known as CoSR Engine . This Draw Engine uses the effect of " Card of Safe Return " to get an extra Draw for each monster special summoned from the grave and get Hand Advantage . This engine is especially useful and really only good in Decks that can Special Summon many monsters from the Graveyard . Zombie Swarm and Dark World Deck s are great decks to use with this Draw Engine . A variation of this draw engine uses 2 " Manticore of Darkness " to continuously loop by sending 1 to the graveyard and sending the second one from your hand or deck to bring out the next one . The " Manticore Loop " is often used in Exodia OTK decks . " Card of Safe Return " is currently Forbidden ( September 2009 Lists ) . Trade - In Draw Engine . Although this may not be a particularly popular draw engine , " Trade - In " has an advantage over other draw engines ; it is neither Limited nor Semi - Limited . This draw engine discards powerful Level 8 Monster Cards to the Graveyard , usually to revive later . This can be useful in multiple decks , but is found commonly in Dragon decks ( which can also combined with " Super Rejuvenation " ) , Darklord s , and Destiny HERO es . Basically this draw engine is viable to every deck that can utilize many Level 8 monsters in the deck . Recharge Engine . This draw engine is used in Lightsworn s , but can be splashed into any deck that benefits from sending many cards to the graveyard . It consists of searching out Lightsworn monsters with " Charge of the Light Brigade " and then discarding them with " Solar Recharge " . Doing those two things thins your deck by a total of 8 cards , sending 6 of them to the graveyard - a very fast maneuver , in short . The Recharge draw engine can be used in Lightsworns , of course ; it is also ( as for now ) commonly used in Chaos Dragon decks . When this draw engine is used outside of Lightsworn , some of the two most common Lightsworns used are " Ryko , Lightsworn Hunter " and " Lyla , Lightsworn Sorceress " . Unlike most other Lightsworns , their effects are non - specific to Lightsworns , and can give the ability to destroy spells and traps to decks that do not normally have it . Dedicated Lightsworn decks also use the effect of " Garoth , Lightsworn Warrior " to draw many new cards . With its effect , you can thin your deck even more quickly than normal . " Charge of the Light Brigade " is Limited by the March 2010 Lists , hampering this engine ' s severity - though not as severely as the Allure and Destiny Draw engines . As a replacement , you can use " Reinforcement of the Army " - though it is not as fast as Charge , and you will have to use Lightsworn monsters like " Jain , Lightsworn Paladin " , it is still useful . Reckless Greed Engine . Using 3 " Reckless Greed s " together lets you draw 6 cards and skip only 2 Draw Phases , since their drawbacks don ' t stack . " Mask of Darkness " , now at 3 , can bring back your " Reckless Greed s " and allow you to draw even more . This engine is commonly used in decks that do not have ready access to any other . When combined with other , more consistent draw engines , the extra cards can bring a victory before the negative effects come into play . This draw engine is commonly used in Dark World and Exodia decks . Heart of the Underdog Engine . " Heart of the Underdog " is a card that allows you to draw extra cards into your Draw Phase by drawing a Normal Monster . The advantage of this engine is when you run Normal Monsters at your Deck , your draw power shall be increased and you may yet draw constantly if you draw a lot of Normal Monsters during your Draw Phase , causing you to speed up your Deck sharply . This engine benefits from a Deck that does not use almost any Effect Monsters , but abuses Special Summon and searching effects like " Emissary of the Afterlife " and " Enchanting Fitting Room " . This engine is mostly used for Exodia Decks , but also works pretty well at " Ojama " Decks . Good Goblin Housekeeping Engine . Good Goblin Housekeeping is a card with a ruling that allows you to draw an extra card if , upon resolution , it is in the graveyard . So , combining this with cards such as Emergency Provisions , Twister , and Mystical Space Typhoon , one can add additional draw power , as well as provide additional benefits , during or outside of the draw . Coupled with cards like Rose Fairy , Watapon and Blackwing - Breeze the Zephyr and additional draw support , special summons can come quite easily for tribute fodder . Card of Sacrifice Engine . Card of Sacrifice , much like Reckless Greed , is a card that allows you to draw two cards but with less of a negative effect . Decks that do not attack such as Burn Decks , or even some of Naturia decks benefit as they suffer no drawbacks from this card . They can also be stacked to draw multiple cards in one turn since the drawbacks affect only this turn ( much like " Reckless Greed " ) . Fortune Lady Engine . " Fortune Lady Water " allows the player to draw two cards when it is special summon to the field , while another face - up Fortune Lady is on the field . This can be easily achieved with Fortune Lady swarming capability . Fortune Lady Water can be special summon by the following cards : Summoner Monk , Call of the Haunted , Monster Reborn , Fortune Lady Dark and Fortune Lady Light . In fact , when combined with Inferno Reckless Summon , it allows the special summoning up to 3 Fortune Lady Water , allowing the player to draw up to 6 cards in total . Fortune Future allows the player to draw 2 cards by sending a Fortune Lady removed from play to the grave . Fortune Lady can be removed by cards like Future Vision , Interdimensional Matter Transporter , Dimensionhole and Allure of Darkness . Fortune Future combo well with Allure of Darkness and Fortune Lady Dark , draw 2 cards and then remove Fortune Lady Dark from hand , then use Fortune Future to send Fortune Lady dark from removed from play to grave to draw 2 cards . A great combo involves : using Miracle Fusion or Fusion Gate to remove Elemental Hero or Destiny Hero and Fortune Lady Water to special summon Elemental HERO Absolute Zero . Fortune Future is then used to send the removed Fortune Lady Water to draw 2 cards . Presumably another Fortune Lady is on the field , use reviving cards like Call of the Haunted to special summon Fortune Lady Water to draw 2 more cards or 6 if combined with Inferno Reckless Summoning . Fortune Lady Water can then be tribute for Fortune Lady Dark . When Fortune Lady Dark destroys a monster , Fortune Lady Water can then be special summoning , allowing the players to draw 2 cards . This combo gives you a drawing of 6 cards ( 10 if combined with Inferno Reckless Summoning ) and also swarming of strong monsters . Level 1 Synchro Material Engine . Most commonly used in Synchro - based decks that can abuse both " Tuningware " and " Darksea Rescue " , which allow player to draw 1 card for each of them when used for Synchro Summon . Coupled with " Inferno Reckless Summon " to gather materials and " De - Synchro " for repeat the Synchro Summoning process , allowing player to gain massive hand advantage ( especially when combined with " Formula Synchron " and " T . G . Hyper Librarian " ) . Gusto Serenity Engine . This draw engine utilizes " Mind Master " for Special Summoning " Caam , Serenity of Gusto " , which can be Tributed over and over and using Caam ' s effect to shuffle the other 2 Caams in your Graveyard and netting a free draw at the same time , combined with " Brain Research Lab " or " Telekinetic Charging Cell " for avoiding Mind Master ' s cost , resulting in enormous draw engine that even able to draw your entire deck in just one turn . However , currently " Mind Master " is Forbidden , making this draw engine no longer viable as a whole , but Caam herself can be utilized as additional draw power for any deck that can utilize Gusto searchers . Fairy Draw Engine . After getting the Tethys , Goddess of Light , use the effect to keep on Drawing multiple Fairy - Type monsters until your last card is something else . Since most Fairy - Type decks have a heavy number of fairies , then this Effect should be able to draw through a good bit of your Deck . Pot of Dichotomy Engine . With the right Deck build , " Pot of Dichotomy " can become a powerful drawing force . This engine is possible in any deck that runs some off - type hand traps and an off - type Extra Deck , but it truly shines in those that benefit from milling cards to the graveyard . For example , by maxing out on both " Card Trooper " and Dichotomy , you get a way to draw and attack safely with the former while filling your graveyard for the latter . If your deck doesn ' t primarily run Machine - Type Monsters , Trooper even helps by filling the role of 1 of the 3 Type s . This Trooper - Dichotomy duo can be especially useful in EARTH , Psychic , X - Saber , Naturia , and similar decks . ABC VWXYZ / Saffira , Queen of Dragons Engine . Since " XYZ - Dragon Cannon " , " VWXYZ - Dragon Catapult Cannon " , " ABC - Dragon Buster " , and " A - to - Z - Dragon Buster Cannon " require cards to be discarded in order to activate their effects , if you control a face - up " Saffira , Queen of Dragons " when you activate their effects ( as those of " ABC - Dragon Buster " and " A - to - Z - Dragon Buster Cannon " can be used during either player ' s turn ) , you will be able to activate any of Saffira ' s effect during the End Phase of each and every turn , and potentially draw 2 cards each time in the process , or return discarded LIGHT monsters to your hand to discard again the next turn if you do not need to draw cards .
