Toaster can deal good {{Stat|Frenzy}} damage on a fast {{Stat|Counter}} and has enough {{Stat|health}} to take several hits, but they make it so that all [[Items]] in hand gain {{Keyword|Consume}}, destroying each one when played. At first, this may appear to be a strict downside, but the Clunkmasters have multiple card-destruction synergies, such as {{Card|Kreggo}}, {{Card|Nom & Stompy}}, and {{Card|Blundertank}}. Toaster is especially useful if the player has any cards that incentivize them to play {{Card|Junk}}, such as {{Card|Tinkerson Jr|Tinkerson Jr.}} or {{Card|Mini Mika}}, preventing Junk from piling up.

In order to keep cards from being Consumed, the player must recall Toaster before playing those cards. Having the [[Sun Bell of Recall]] can help draw Toaster faster to redeploy, and the {{Card|Zoomlin Nest}} gives them {{Keyword|Zoomlin}} to be redeployed for free. Alternatively, it may be worth keeping Toaster on the field and allowing those key cards to be Consumed, since ending the fight quickly will remove the downside of Consuming cards. Buffing Toaster's {{Stat|attack}} can bring the fight to a close in short order.

Having the [[Sun Bell of Recall]] can help draw Toaster faster to redeploy, and the {{Card|Zoomlin Nest}} gives them {{Keyword|Zoomlin}} to be redeployed for free. However, Consume is only relevant if the fight goes on long enough to reshuffle the discard pile into the deck, so ending the fight quickly will also remove the downside of Consuming cards. Toaster's strong offensive potential allows them to bring battles to a close significantly faster (especially if their {{Stat|attack}} is buffed).


The {{Card|Forging Stove}} is particularly strong with Toaster when using [[Crowns]] to deploy them at the beginning of battle. The Forging Stove gives Toaster a burst of attack, and Toaster Consumes the Forging Stove so that it doesn't show up later in the battle when it would be unreliable.
