I love how "Anti-Trap" is an actual thing in the current meta. Just being able to stop your opponents backrow or survive your monster bieng banished by "The Cut" you already have the advantage.
Ah yes the Ancient Gear deck with 2 Different Ancient Gear monsters. Give us Ancient Gear Fusion, Hound and Megaton Golem and watch us go back to Fusion Summoning
This is just for people who dont know, a card thats not in the meta much anymore but still applies: Neos Fusion can still be banished to protect from battle destruction on Reactor Dragon attacks
Always thought that was dumb considering that reactor dragons effect says no spell trap or monster effect cards can be activated when it attacks but according to the rules origin of vendred, tezcatlipoca and neos spell still is able to activate because its not an "activatable" effect. So stupid lol
Magical hats makes this ass deck even more ass. In the current meta, how often does a solo monster on the field and a face down (hats) make it into the battle phase untouched??
Just remember traps with gy effect still can work as it's not an "activated" effect. So if there is a dino still on the field you might want to keep the fortress up if they have survival's end in gy.
I just came back after a 3 year hiatus...I never had Galaxy Cyclone and I was always behind with meta decks, after seeing the boxes double and cards like Karma Cut come out I don't think I'll ever hit KOG again
Yep exactly, it was "monstrously good" got you 5 or 6 months of tiered play and a lot longer of kog worthy. So it was the best value by far. This deck really started the "Every EX Deck is top tier" trend which sadly wasn't true for much longer ...
That's probably the only decks that ancient gears can contend against. As someone who plays gears I can say for sure that it wins some and it loses some, but loses more.
OMG Im calling it now. Dule Devlin is coming to Dual Links. Check the upcoming events announcement. In Mid March they have a mew character coming to the gate and they give the hint/skill as "Go! Dice Roll!"
@@capnspunky7548 lol. It was a message at the end of the upcoming month. The hint was "Dice Roll! Go!" Im a DM Weeb so i picked up on it. Plus, no homo, but duke got that cool rockstar vibe going on.
It is- it can unbrick your hand by sending a Reactor Dragon to the grave (to be summoned later by fortress/geartown/gear reborn if you’re running it, and it gives you an out to things RD can’t beat like Blue Eyes Twin Burst Dragon.
@@kataphrut7740 I know and I had that idea before machina fortress was used in a top tier deck. I liked this version of Ancient Gears, but sometimes I tend to make decks worse by adding seemingly fitting tech choices
@@MD-mk3lh Same. The version I’m running is nowhere near as consistent as this one because I’ve taken out the pathfinders, double cyclones and Breaker (which I don’t have) to add stuff like 2 Machina fortresses, 2 TTHs, a gear reborn and hand traps. I was also running a single golem and poly on the off chance I could fuse Ultimate AGG. It’s not optimal but I’ve gotten just enough use out of it to make me not want to get rid of it lol.
@@kataphrut7740 This ultimate fusion thing is a problem I had with cyberdark. I would run one copy each of claw and the fusion card in a cyberdark deck that was focused on egdes direct attack. I couldnt get rid of it for a long time because I thought it was important to get the chance of summoning a 6000 ATK Cyberdark Dragon after 3-5 turns. But ultimately the duel was over most of the times before that happened and I had many bricks. So to give some deck building advice: Focus on what you really need for the deck to work properly. For example you should totally swap your handtraps for something else if they are defensive (veil or Sphere Kuriboh) or if they are too specific. I dont use breaker and pathfinder and have different ratios. For the machina part I use Fortress, Gearframe and one Megaform and also a TTH. And for some reason I didn't even know gear reborn existed although I have some copies of it lol
@@MD-mk3lh You’re not wrong- I’m gonna readjust the deck and ditch those cards. I liked having the option for the fusion but you’re right- it’s not consistent. I still think reborn is a good option especially with Machina Fortress sending your gears to the graveyard. My two handtraps were Sphere Kuriboh and Skull Meister. Kuriboh is as Kuriboh does, but I threw in Skull Meister to disrupt graveyard plays since they’re so damn common atm. I don’t like having him, I just felt like I needed to.
Actually he could acitvate karma cut. Trap cards like mirror force cannot be activeted when reactor dragon attacks, because it (mirror force) has an effect "when your opponent's monster attacks", but karma cut's effect can be activated at anytime and there is a space beetwen a monster is special summoned and beetwen it attacks, so karma cut can be activated that time. The game says (if I know correctly) an opponent's monster declares an attack. Activet card effects? And actually when you activate that moment karma cut it'll be activated BEFORE the attack, just you know, you can only activate traps and guick effects at the opponent's turn when a monster summoned (not in this case, it's just the rule), when a monster declares an attack (and sometimes as achain link (2 or more) or when your opponent changes his/her phase, so the game only asks you this time tó activate karma cut when your opponent declares an attack on you with reactor dragon (or with an other monster with similar effect).
I couldn't find it what toggle means (I'm not english), if it means "when it (the monster) summoned", yes, you can't because the monster is summoned at the damage step, but I'm not sure about this either, but a monster isn't summoned and attacks at the same time, first it's summoned then it attacks, AND there is a time before you declare an attack. If a single monster attacks, karma cut can be activated during the attack, so first the game says "an opponent's monster declares an attack, activate a card effect?", then if you not activate, the game will ask it again: " it's thge damage step, activate a card efect?", and only this is what reactor dragon blocks, because this effect activates when it attacks, and as I said, you can't activate trap cards randomly so the game won't ask "now this is the time when reactor dragon's summon is finished, activate a card effect?", but when it asks "the monster declares an attack..", that substitues it. And there is no time? So if you special summon a monster you can't chose to attack ( in the damage step, but actually it is after the damage step because your opponent's lp already have got down) it must attack athe that moment and you can't choose to take a rest, get a coffe or something and attack with that monster about a minute after (than it summoned) or not to attack at all :)?
Utopia Ray in the extra deck. But realistically, you probably won’t get a chance to. Ancient Gears can steal some wins but they are far from decent. Even in the most heavy backrow meta(Shiranui) it couldn’t do anything eventhough it is known as the antibackrow deck.
I definently understand why konami hasn't released any good acient gear support in almost 2 years. Have you seen the other fusion monsters? What abou that fusion spell card? That would be kinda unstopabble. A monster that cannot be affected by magic and trap cards and other that cannot be affected by anything. Not mentioning their floating effects.
I returned to my old account just to drop back to bronze and stop seeing Thunder dragons. It is literally only thunder dragons in legend. I see noble knights here and there and I dont remember when I saw hero or despacito last. There is blue eyes too, but playing against them is not obnoxious so I am ok with it
@@xervislane770 all I've seen in legend is thunder dragons and 2 noble nuts. The last blue eyes I seen was in plat 7, dude was running a blue eyes engine in a buster blader deck. Which was a neat idea since blue eyes usually have pretty good recovery if they dont brick.
U MADE THIS SAME VIDEO 5 months ago u took out a dragon and 2 sphere kuriboh and a double cycloon and just added a set of pathfinders and a breaker. this deck has been around for a long time its not even a re visiting. at least try something new for silent swordsman with the new warrior support+ xyz.
Is there a reason He Shows no plays against blue eyes? One spirit dragon: you are dead. Any Monster that cannot be destroyed by battle: Goodbye! One Monster above 3200 atk (blue eyes ultimate dragon, ultimate cyber dragon) on the field: you are back at fortnite... Or am I missing out on something?!

Big brain solution right here. I should play them more often. They’re super fun.
Because people like to be pansy and sit there and wait for you to attack them and then call all these dumb ass traps. This is a good thing
Love seeing these old archetypes being re-visited
Me too ✌✌
You remember the red eyes zombie? Omg imagine if that got revisited
Ancient archetypes lol

Currently levelling Crowler for the cards. It's one of my fave machine archetypes. I hope they revisit the VWXYZ union too
Bru lmao Gia on the back responding for all of us 😂🤣👍👍
Do you hate losing with top tier decks? Well now there’s Ancient Gears! Now you can lose more often and faster than ever before!
It's good seeing someone else run ancient gears for once
Is there a way to combine this deck with the stick and chair? Love the content BTW u guys are my fav streamer couple!
Yes, they will be engine to draw faster the anti-backrow cards
Oh god please no
The double cyclone can make you miss gear Town if you do it immediately

takes 10 bucks for desperado or less.
That's literally the same deck that was top tier like a year ago or longer. AG was a monster investment back then
2 years ago and idk what you mean by "monster" investment, it was pretty cheap for a meta deck
Yep exactly, it was "monstrously good" got you 5 or 6 months of tiered play and a lot longer of kog worthy. So it was the best value by far. This deck really started the "Every EX Deck is top tier" trend which sadly wasn't true for much longer ...
Back in the day of yugi oh online duel accelerator 3 i had a similar deck with 3 gear town, 3 necrovalley and 3 terraforming
Thank you so much
I've been using ancient gear since release and i still play it to this day
It's still a good deck imo
how does AG deal with blue eyes? u always have to crash ur monster
Bro I was putting in work with a very similar build and I only got to enjoy it for 2 days bc now every 2 duels is a mirror match comeon
Shining Phoenix enforcer. My fave E hero back in the day
I have all of these except Galaxy Cyclone, how do I use de-spell with this deck? Do I just pop my own face-down spells like he does in the video?
I love AG still my favourite archetype. I hope they will get support soon.
Yes 👍
My favorite deck ... hope this gets some support in the future!
👍
That's probably the only decks that ancient gears can contend against. As someone who plays gears I can say for sure that it wins some and it loses some, but loses more.
If u play fortress and then link summon ballista how can my opponent target it with a card effect to destroy ballista
The triamid player was a FOOL
sorry to ask, but its possible get the fortress and the wyvern without expend money?
Would a floater like tomato still be able to use his effect?
