Hey Ryoma, thanks to your influence, i've decided to build a survivor deck much like your own (obviously with a few original twists). I was wonderin wot you think are kinda "must haves" in a survivor deck.
Originally posted by Ryoma_Echizen I acquired one of him in Japan but never used it. The problem is that you need to use non survivor cards to use it with. I haven't seen any creative ways to use this ability. Since survivors already have nearly every card ability the ability to make other cards into survivors doesn't seem worth the trouble. You can do some cool things like if you have Omnistrain, and Rumblesaur you can just lay down 3 creatures and give them speed attacker, or with Omnistrain, and a Forbos you can use a Pyrofighter Magnum to keep getting killspells for you.
The problem lies in that you need Omnistrain, a particular survivor, and a particular creature to pull off these combos. And since Omnistrain is a mere 3k he is vulnerable to Searing Wave.
Omnistrain is a cool little trinket, he can evolve from a Shield Trigger...neato. I mean if you have a Blazosaur and a Rumblesaur and get Omni triggered, it can be fun to just lay down 3 creatures the next turn and go ape, but you need non-survivor creatures. Definitely a card you can use creatively but don't expect to win very much with it.

I think this deck would be fun using Q-tronic Omnistrain, can't wait until DM-09 is released in english because I need this Petroba, so that I could build a similar kind of deck!
Petroba-Survivor
Creature
2x La Ura Giga
4x Sarius
4x Blazosaur Q
4x Bronze Arm Tribe
4x Smash Horn Q
3x Ruthless Skyterror
4x Petroba
2x Gallia Zohl Q
1x Mist Rias
4x Factory Shell Q
LIGHT WEAPON PETROBA (translation from EDO's site)
Creature - Mecha del Sol
Civilisation Light
Manacost 5
Power 3500
- When this Creature is played to the Battle Zone, choose 1 Type other than Mecha del Sol. Increase the Power of creatures of that Type in the Battle Zone by 4000.
- While this Creature is in the Battle Zone, when your opponent chooses a Creature, Light Weapon Petrooba can't be chosen. S1/S5 (Super Rare)
A light survivor deck without Forbos shouldn't exist in my opinion, lol. An 8000 power Forbos is always killer.
Omnistrain isn't going to be competitive, no matter how you use it because it's ability doesn't threaten the opponent, you need a complicated combo to use it... but that's what it's for.
Making Petrooba 7500 power is neither impressive nor particularly effective considering it already evades everything save Holy Awe and Bazagazeal.
It is a good idea to attempt to use the set 9 cards that rely on race, but Petroba is not the only such card you should use. For example... Full Command would be much better to use than Rumble Gate. Look at the cards that rely on race and use them. Petroba alone does nothing to promote Omnistrain. As I said if you use Omnistrain you must desire to give a particular survivor ability to a particular non-survivor creature! No buts about this! Because of this Omnistrain isn't a competitive play card.
However set 9 has many cards that rely on race. Petroba gives bonuses to survivor cards. Perhaps combine other cards that work with single races and boost survivors in this way.
