Martin Berlins version of his “Machine gun” that Seb played at Noobcon

Richard Veenman UW list he won ODOL with

Nicolas Imwinkelried Summer Derby 2020 list. T8, 2nd after 8 Rounds Round Robin. Biggest inspiration for Richards RoboGeddon.

“HW” Henks first version of RoboGeddon played in Noobcon II

Henks RoboGeddon played in RBS (4th place 6-0 in rounds). Abyss is replaced with Icy Manipulator main and balance added in the SB.

Additional notes:

Henks latest version adds an extra Abyss in SB, - Divine offering -Blue elemental blast, +Cop red, - Icy main +Copy Artifact

Sebs UR version should probably contain at least one Falling star in the sideboard.

Also, as stated in the episode, this is probably the best or at least the fastest Mind Twist deck:

An opener Henk had against Evert.
