- Archfiend Eccentrick : removes opp's annoying cards through both effs
- Chicken Game : draw, thin the deck

Ancient Gear Wyvern will be the card that you will want to special summon from the deck the most when playing this deck. It will help you search for Ancient Gear Box (the card has an effect that helps us search for more cards besides Archetype Ancient Gear), and then search for the cards you need like:
- Ancient Gear Frame will search for more Ancient Gear Golem , which means we have 2 more monsters named "Ancient Gear" to fuse. It also has the ability to search Ancient Gear Fusion if you decide to use it.
- Sage of Wisdom - Himmel can summon itself, so search for this card if you used your Normal Summon turn. However, having to discard a spell is a relatively unpleasant condition, but many times when the Ancient Gear Catapult card cannot be activated, you can discard it without hesitation.
- Infinitrack Anchor Drill can also become a good Extender after being searched with Gear box, however it requires a Normal Summon.

ATK:
1200
DEF:
1200
2 Level 4 monsters You can detach 2 materials from this card, then activate 1 of the following effects; ● Skip your next Draw Phase, also draw 2 cards, then discard 1 card. ● Skip your next Main Phase 1, also Special Summon 1 monster from your GY in Defense Position. ● Skip the Battle Phase of your next turn, also double the ATK of 1 monster you control until the end of this turn.

Knightmare Unicorn or Number 60: Dugares the Timeless is often released by Link to strengthen the Chaos Ancient Gear Giant .
Optional Engines
Urgent Schedule and Super Express Bullet Train (Schedule)
Urgent Schedule
If your opponent controls more monsters than you do: Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower and 1 Level 5 or higher EARTH Machine monsters from your Deck in Defense Position, but negate their effects. You cannot declare attacks the turn you activate this card, except with Machine monsters. If this Set card is sent from the field to the GY: You can add 1 Level 10 Machine monster from your Deck to your hand. You can only use each effect of "Urgent Schedule" once per turn.
Super Express Bullet Train
ATK:
3000
DEF:
0
Cannot declare an attack unless you send 2 other cards you control to the GY. You can only use each of these effects of "Super Express Bullet Train" once per turn. ● If all monsters you control are EARTH Machines (min. 1): You can Special Summon this card from your hand. ● During the End Phase, if this card is in the GY because it was sent there this turn: You can target 1 Machine monster in your GY, except "Super Express Bullet Train"; add it to your hand.
Super Express Bullet Train is a high level card to play with Urgent Schedule . This support pair is extremely important and almost indispensable in Ancient Gear because it only takes one activation of Urgent Schedule to create Ancient Gear Ballista .
The only downside to this pair of cards is that Ancient Gear Hunting Hound cannot be summoned because Ancient Gear Ballista must then summon Ancient Gear Wyvern . The other extenders are not bad to play with, so drawing Super Express Bullet Train is ok. If you draw SEBT , Sage of Wisdom - Himmel can act as a high level replacement card to summon from the deck.
Striker
Sky Striker Mecha - Hornet Drones
If you control no monsters in your Main Monster Zone: Special Summon 1 "Sky Striker Ace Token" (Warrior/DARK/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) in Defense Position, which cannot be Tributed, and if you have 3 or more Spells in your GY when this effect resolves, the Token's ATK/DEF become 1500 instead.

You can only Special Summon "Sky Striker Ace - Shizuku(s)" once per turn.
Strikers will give you the powerful Spell abilities and impressive versatility of Sky Striker Mobilize - Engage! .
- You can search for Sky Striker Mecha - Hornet Drones to get Sky Striker Mobilize - Engage! via Sky Striker Ace - Kagari and search Sage of Wisdom - Himme l, then change Sky Striker Ace - Kagari to Sky Striker Ace - Kaina so you have two Sky Striker- Machine-EARTH monsters and link to Ancient Gear Ballista (approximately like like Urgent Schedule! ). You can also re-add Sky Striker Mecha - Hornet Drones by itself, although the meatball will not be an EARTH Machine .
- Searching for Sky Striker Mecha - Widow Anchor helps you remove a difficult effect so you can combo without worry, or steal a monster for Predaplant Verte Anaconda or Number 60: Dugares the Timeless .
- Finding the Sky Striker Maneuver - Jamming Waves! helps you eliminate an opponent's Trap, or can help you start a combo by destroying Geartown . If you do so, DO NOT destroy a monster with the optional Effect, as it will cause your Geartown to miss timing .
- Sky Striker Airspace - Area Zero acts as an additional target for Ancient Gear Catapult, summoning Sky Striker Ace - Raye from the Deck when destroyed. The near-impossible unwieldiness in the hand makes playing these last two cards difficult to justify.

Platinum Gadget is a card that will prove useful at times and become an integral part of your Extra Deck, allowing you to summon a bricked monster from your hand that you may want to bring to the field. However, not being able to Link it to another card often makes using it not worthwhile. Ancient Gear Catapult's second effect can solve that problem if you play Ancient Gear Gadget .

Adventure
Illegal Knight
ATK:
2000

Rite of Aramesir
If you control no "Adventurer Token": Special Summon 1 "Adventurer Token" (Fairy/EARTH/Level 4/ATK 2000/DEF 2000), then if you do not control "Fateful Adventure", you can place 1 "Fateful Adventure" from your Deck face-up in your Spell & Trap Zone.

You can only use each effect of "Water Enchantress of the Temple" once per turn.
Adventure is also quite good. Foolish Burial and Water Enchantress of the Temple give you the ability to use Rite of Aramesir , creating an Adventurer token and Fateful Adventure , which in turn gives you Dracoback, the Rideable Dragon and Illegal Knight .
Having the last two cards of the above line means you can discard 3 cards from your opponent's field, while still keeping an attack position monster on their field to use the Ancient Gear eff Ballista . Consider using these cards as they will prevent you from activating Normal Summon effects, Gadgets are recommended to play with them as you will not be able to activate Ancient Gear Frame. Link Spider is used to link from Adventurer Token, then used as material for Predaplant Verte Anaconda or other links.
