Machina
Machina is a nearly indestructible Alpha with immense strength and complete control over metal. Ruthless and driven by power, he aligns himself with Magnate in hopes of rising above all others and becoming one of the last Alphas standing in the Gambit. In the TCG, Machina weaponizes Accessories to relentlessly pressure opponents, turning them into devastating tools capable of overwhelming enemy forces through constant aggression.

Machina cards
How Machina plays
- Machina, Savage Striker (ST2-006 · Red Contender, 1/0): 25: Once per turn, during your Primary Phase, you may engage this card and send a non-Trap Accessory you control to Oblivion. If you do, deal two damage to target Contender or Clash card, then draw one card. 15: Whenever an Accessory you control is sent to Oblivion from play, target Clash card you control gets +1/+1 until end of turn.
- Machina, Scrap Blaster (AC3-122 · Red Clash, cost 4, 3/3): During your Primary Phase, you may engage this card. If you do, send target non-Trap Accessory you control to Oblivion. Then deal X damage to target Contender or Clash card, where X is equal to that Accessory's initial resource cost plus one.
- Machina, Master of Metal (AC3-121 · Red Clash, cost 2, 2/3): This card gets +X/+0, where X is equal to half the number of non-Trap Accessories you control, rounded down.
- Machina, Unstoppable Force (AC1-108 · Red Clash, cost 7, 6/6): Barrage 2 (When this card attacks, you may deal damage equal to its initial attack power divided as you choose among up to two target Clash cards.)
- Machina, Seizing a Chance (AC4-126 · Red Clash, cost 9, 10/10): Observant Trigger - Enter: Send up to one target Clash card you control, up to one target Accessory you control, and up to one target Clashground you control to Oblivion. If three permanents were sent to Oblivion this way, this card loses Observant until end of turn.
