            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.

            Playing 1 Ancient Gear Wyvern is enough because you usually want to Special Summon it directly from the Deck, but if you have enough Extenders, you can also add this card to your deck and Normal Summon it. But remember that Normal Summon alone will not have enough cards to start a combo .

            Regarding Ancient Gear Box , you can x2 this card in the deck because sometimes if you are unlucky, you will draw it.

            2 EARTH Machine monsters If this card is Link Summoned: You can add 1 "Ancient Gear" monster or 1 "Geartown" from your Deck to your hand. You can target 1 Spell/Trap you control and 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; destroy that card you control, and if you do, change that opponent's monster's ATK/DEF to 0 until the end of the turn. You can only use each effect of "Ancient Gear Ballista" once per turn.

            4 "Ancient Gear" monsters Must be Fusion Summoned and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. Unaffected by Spell/Trap effects. Your opponent's monsters cannot activate their effects during the Battle Phase. This card can attack all monsters your opponent controls, once each. If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent.

            If this card is Normal Summoned: Inflict 600 damage to your opponent. If this card attacks, your opponent cannot activate any Spell/Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step. Once per turn: You can Fusion Summon 1 "Ancient Gear" Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or field as Fusion Materials.


            Once you have established a stable field, you will usually Link two EARTH-MACHINE monsters into Ancient Gear Ballista to search for Geartown . ( In case you draw Chicken Game without Ancient Gear Catapult to destroy it, you can still send Chicken Game to the grave by activating the Geartown you searched for .)

            Ancient Gear Ballista can then destroy Geartown , reduce the ATK of 1 opponent monster and give you 1 more summon from the Deck, more specifically it will be Ancient Gear Hunting Hound .

            Ancient Gear Hunting Hound helps you use two Ancient Gears in your hand (for example, Ancient Gear Box and Ancient Gear Golem searched using Ancient Gear Frame previously) to fuse into Ancient Gear Howitzer . This gives us +1 meat on the field and Ancient Gear Howitzer 's effect will deal 1000 damage from there OTK. You can also use Ancient Gear Hunting Hound   to use everything we have and fuse directly into Chaos   Ancient Gear Giant . We usually do this if your opponent has not yet used negates and you are protected by Ancient Gear Fortress , as the next step will require non- Ancient Gear cards .

            * There is a small note here : Ancient Gear Howitzer is a good choice if you are forced to go first. So let's play x2 of these cards, leaving one card for turn 1 and the other card for combo in turn 3 (our next turn).

You can pay 2000 LP and send 1 "Fusion" or "Polymerization" Normal or Quick-Play Spell from your Deck to the GY; this effect becomes that Spell's effect when that card is activated, also, you cannot Special Summon monsters for the rest of this turn. You can only use each effect of "Predaplant Verte Anaconda" once per turn.

            2+ monsters with different names If this card is Link Summoned: You can discard 1 card, then target 1 card on the field; shuffle it into the Deck, then, if this card was co-linked when this effect was activated, you can draw 1 card. You can only use this effect of "Knightmare Unicorn" once per turn. While any co-linked "Knightmare" monsters are on the field, for your normal draw in your Draw Phase, draw 1 card for each different card name among those co-linked "Knightmare" monsters, instead of drawing just 1 card.

              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. You can only use this effect of "Number 60: Dugares the Timeless" once per turn.


              Link two monsters into Predaplant Verte Anaconda and send Overload Fusion to the grave to help you fuse Chaos Ancient Gear Giant by using the Ancient Gear in your grave instead of on the field. This effect helps you keep some cards on the field to attack.

              Knightmare Unicorn or Number 60: Dugares the Timeless is often released by Link to strengthen the Chaos Ancient Gear Giant .

              We will leave more than 1 slot for Overload Fusion because it can help you throw a Fusion monster from the sky even after taking dozens of opp's crowd-clearing effects, as long as you actually draw it. If your combo passes through the hand traps and escapes while you still have this card in your hand, you can summon two Chaos Ancient Gear Giants , ensuring victory.

                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.

                • 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.

                          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.

                            Cannot be Special Summoned. If this card attacks, your opponent cannot activate any Spell/Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step. If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage.


                            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 . You will receive an Ancient Gear Token from destroying the Platinum Gadget , which will then activate and summon an Ancient Gear Gadget from the Deck.


                            While not too bad, you have to realize that playing the Ancient Gear Gadget, which can be added with the Ancient Gear Box , means you've completely left the Ancient Gear Frame and its two search targets off the Deck, which arguably very flexible and leaves room for some other better engines to work.

                                    If you control an "Adventurer Token": You can Special Summon this card from your hand. You can banish this card from your hand or GY; add 1 "Rite of Aramesir" from your Deck or GY to your hand. If you control an "Adventurer Token": You can place 1 Field Spell that mentions "Adventurer Token" from your Deck face-up in your Field 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.

                                              Besides Maxx "C", there is no need to introduce these cards. These cards will help us remove some annoying effs from our opponents. How many and which cards you play will depend on your preferences and the available slots in your Deck after choosing your optional support cards.

                                              Pay attention to Swords of Concealing Light , as you need your opponent to have a face-up monster on the field to use Ancient Gear Ballista . One good thing is that if it is still on the field, we can deal with it with Ancient Gear Catapult .

                                              Triple Tactics Thrust will be better in some builds but not good in other builds =)) In general, it depends on the Engine you choose.
