Notes & Combos
Ancient Gear
is pretty much immune to negates as long as you get an ancient gear Fortress on the Field, which you always want to have. And Coinflips dont matter since you want to go 2nd.
Here are the typical 1-card Combos that lead to ANCIENT GEAR DARK GOLEM which then can go into both fusion plays for OTK
Urgent Schedule
summons gizmek and dark golem: both link into Ballista, Ballista Adds geartown, ballista effect: destroy geartown to reduce one enemy monster to 0, geartown effect: when destroyed summon any ancient gear monster... If there are any interruptions you can simply activate gizmek in grave to summon ancient gear dark golem for otk
Ancient Gear Statue
is a great starter and extender to summon anything
Ancient Gear Wyvern
adds Advance spell card (Go into Ancient Gear Advance Combo)
Ancient Gear Advance
adds Catapult, If there is a monster on the field (like Wyvern), activate advance second effect to tribute one monster to draw one card, Activate Catapult to destroy advance to summon dark golem.
Ancient gear dark golem (Main Combo Card)
adds 2 ancient gear cards and then discards 1. Depending on what you want to do it varies what you want to add.
-If you want Chaos Ancient Gear Giant unaffected by Spells/Traps AND opponent can not activate Monster effects in Battle Phase (Usefull against Tempai). To summon you want to add Ancient Gear Fusion and random discard. Chaos Giant can attack all opponents monsters once so only viable if they have enough monsters to attack for lethal. If they only have 1 monster then Chaos Giant is not enough for lethal and you should go for the Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem.
-If they dont have enough monsters left to attack into, you want Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem unaffected from opponents activated monster effects (Yes: Nibiru immune). To Summon you add Ancient Gear Commander and Ancient Gear Duel (The Fusion Trap) and discard Commander, then you activate commander in grave to place ANCIENT GEAR DUEL Face up, then you activate the trap effect to fusion summon into ULTIMATE ANCIENT GEAR GOLEM who now can attack 3 times regardless of opponents monsters.
ANCIENT GEAR DUEL
makes monsters that mention "Ancient Gear Golem" immune to activated monster effects (Anti-Nibiru). CAREFULL: Chaos Ancient Gear Giant is not Included.
I haven't mentioned it yet but the bossmonsters deal piercing damage so no worries about defense monsters.
Replays
ID: 259-657-758
You will find some replays based on the 3 maincards being ancient gear (Against ... Maliss ... Who could have seen that one coming?).
I also played Ancient Gear last season With more Handtraps instead of bordbreakers. Match Replay from June 19th is highly recommended ;)
(I save the replays from games i liked so there are a lot of random replays from other decks but you'll manage it.)
