I came up with the idea when I noticed that Bushi has kind of synergy with Doppelwarrior. So if Doppelwarrior, Junk Synchron as well. And then I noticed that this was already done a few times before. Either way, the main OTK of the deck is the combo I already mentioned with addition of Solidarity. Either drop Doppelwarrior when you revive Bushi, or revive it with Junk Synchron. Tune Junk Synchron with Doppelwarrior into Junk Warrior. Before Junk Warrior's effect resolves, you get the 2 Doppel Tokens, whose ATK is now 1200 due to Solidarity. Junk Warrior resolves, boosting its ATK by 2400, 1200 for each Token. It has now 5500 ATK (2400 + 2300 + 800). 5500 + 2400 = 7900 damage. Yeah, so close to OTK. That's what Bushi is for, it pushes for game in this case. Though if you already have a monster out, Bushi is redunant.


However, the OTK is not the deck's only way to play. With Junk Synchron + Bushi + Doppelwarrior combination, you can also Synchro Summon a Junk Destroyer, blowing up 2 cards and getting 2 Tokens. Bushi itself is a reccuring meat shield or a beatstick, if you already have Solidarity out. Deck can bring out pretty much any generic/semi-generic Synchro with Level ranging from 5 to 8:
Level 5 (Junk Synchron + Doppelwarrior)
Level 6 (Junk Synchron + Bushi)
Level 7 (Junk Synchron + Armageddon Knight)
Level 8 (Junk Synchron + Doppelwarrior + Bushi)


Plaguespreader Zombie is great card in here. A Tuner that can be dumped with Armageddon Knight, and doesn't conflict with Solidarity and Bushi in any way, as it removes itself from play after revived. Pot of Avarice is nice tech in here, as it can either recycle your Junk Synchrons and/or Doppelwarriors, as well return any non-Warrior Synchros back to your Extra so that Bushi and Solidarity can keep going. Necro Gardna is in here only because it can be dumper with Armageddon Knight. Also, it can save your ass a few times, and is pretty much impossible to get rid of, as it's chainable.


I saw some builds using Battle Fader. I actually wanted to try it as well, but I lacked space. Kuraz the Light Monarch also has nice combos in here, as you can drop Doppelwarrior when reviving Bushi, Tribute Doppelwarrior for Kuraz, pop Bushi and some other card, draw 2 cards. And you actually didn't lost card advantage, as Bushi can come back next turn. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of other cards that can fit this deck which I didn't found yet. If you find any, be sure to let me know :P


Deck has pretty bad matchup agains anything that can remove cards from Graveyard, as it screws up Bushi and Doppwlarrior plays. This can handle Anti-Meta decks pretty well actually, as Bushi plays around Rai-Oh, Royal Oppressions, Doomcaliber Knight etc. Some of my friends think that this has a bad Gravekeeper's matchup, but it's not actually true. Sure, Necrovalley stops Junk Synchron -> Doppelwarrior plays, but you can drop Doppelwarrior when reviving a Bushi and get actually the same results as you would get with reviving Doppelwarior with Junk Synchron.
