THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE
https://www.duelingbook.com/deck?id=12206955
Year of Origin: 1945
Is it real?: Yes
Ace Monster: Thomas The Tank Engine
The Main Races: Rock
The Main Attributes: EARTH
Extra Monsters: None
Attack: 5/5
Defence: 2/5
Strategy: 4/5
Intellect: 4/5
Luck: 5/5
THE STORY:
On the fictional island of Sodor, sentient trains and other vehicles help supply the residents and generally have fun themselves, all based off real events. The most famous of these trains is number 1, Thomas The Tank Engine, and he's a very useful engine!
STRATEGY:
However, today, he seemed to have gone a bit too close to those mods, and now he's out to destroy your opponent! Thomas The Tank Engine, is a devestating monster, a 4500/3800 who's completley immune to all enemy card effects and gets bonus attacks from his fellow Tank Engines, so he's pretty mcuh guanteed to end any game he's played in your favor, but he can only be brought out in two ways: Either by tributing five EARTH Rock monsters...or by completely emptying your deck.
Thankfully, this is where the rest of the deck comes in! It's a race against time as your opponent has to destroy you before you empty your deck and get Thomas The Tank Engine out from your hand. Each of the other Tank Engines can mill 4-5 cards from your deck when they're summoned for searching from Percy The Tank Engine, Special Summoning from Henry The Tank Engine, and ATK boosts from James The Tank Engine, allowing you to empty your deck quite quickly. Your opponent won't even know what's going on, causing confusion and delay!
This also means that any attempts that your opponent does to mill you will only end up helping Thomas The Tank Engine to come out faster, serving as a powerful counter!
The Spell/Trap cards also help secure the lines towards Thomas. Display Of Sodor mills your deck whenever you summon a Tank Engine or the Fat Controller, Production Line turns a harmful effect into a powerful heal that also mills the top 3 cards of your deck, and Railway Lineup has three different effects that trigger when you mill a different number of cards.
KILLER COMBOS:
The Fat Controller helps out the Tank Engines by either allowing you to summon more of them, or by milling your deck, and once per turn, he can Special Summon himself if he is milled himself. Note that he will trigger Display Of Sodor, leading to a deadly chain reaction!
Percy The Tank Engine mills the top 2 cards of your deck for each EARTH Rock monster you control at the end of turn: that's a total of 10 cards if you control 5 EARTH Rock monsters! Meanwhile, James The Tank Engine prevents your opponent from milling their own decks, and Henry The Tank Engine can take a lethal blow for himself.
As a self-milling deck, the Tank Engines synergize well with the Lightsworn, more notably Wulf, Lightsworn Beast.
