Notes & Combos

First time climbing Master using Ancient Gear. Learning phase was kinda rough, but got more comofortable game for game. Ended up Master 5 with a 8 Win streak.

The cool thing about Ancient Gear is, that its not as straight forward as people might think. You have a lot of options.

Most of the times there are 3 scenarios:

1. Your enemy has enough monsters on the field to OTK them with Ancient Gear Chaos Giant.
2. Your enemy has at least 1 monster, so you can go for Ancient gear ultimate golem with the trap
3. Your enemy has no monsters, in this case you go for Ancient gear megaton golem and use OG golem and the ultimate pound as fusion material to strike for 3. (Yes, in my opinion it is worth the brick)

For the tenpai matchup (going first)

• Either get ancient gear chaos giant on the field and hope that the tenpai player wont read his effect, or get bagoozka out and hope, that he has no boardbreakers. Other option is to put one dimensional barrier and get it with thrust.

General tips:

• Try to get ancient gear fortress as fast as you can on the field. If you have the room to search for another one, do it, since it can get destroyed and its always good to have backup protection.
• Do not forget, that if you wanna use verte, it is not protected and this can ruin your turn. So always make sure that the enemy has no follow up before summoning.
• After destroying fortress to summong an ancient gear, you are locked into earth machine monsters. So keep it in mind, if you are going for a verte play.

PS:I did not have the gems for more extra deck staples as Apollousa. You can cut number 60 or nightmare phoenix for it.
