[@Gridiron992]

Ah, yes, the deck that either gives you a useless large brick...or lets you smash your opponent's head in with a large brick.

[@redmania1020]

But now you can do it at light speed!

[@topjuegostheandroid4462]

You need a phd in dueling to throw that bricks

[@lennyface8195]

Back when I played Ancient Gears at locals, I always had a single copy of Spell Gear, specifically so I could say *_"NO ONE EXPECTS THE SPELL INQUISITION!"_* on the rare occasion where I could activate it.

[@bramgrootveld7846]

I have a mayor soft spot for these big hecking machines, don't know why but the idea of using gigant automatons from times forgotten to punch really hard just sounds funny. Oh how crowler in japanese says "antique gear gorem" just makes me smile

[@fernadogonzalez2940]

I can replicate all of crowlers lines from memory I love gears so much they are by far my favorite archetype

[@johnnyTimothyRokket]

Love me some AG as well. First deck i really learned how to play

[@JunkVT]

Really glad to see Konami still giving support to older archetypes! Gives me some hope for Machinas!

[@Crim-kun]

Crowley playing ancient gear cannon: now tribute my monster and you can't activate traps cards during the battle phase. I hope those face downs weren't traps you Slifer slaker. jaden: well it's only stop my mirror force but I still have one card left Crowley: oh and don't forget you also take 500 points of damages Jaden screams in agony while a rad guitar riff plays

[@ivanbluecool]

Its hilarious Yuri can use this deck better than experts when he's messing around

[@zachpottinger1842]

He only uses that Deck, because he doesn’t take weaker opponents seriously.

[@goodpeople25]

He is an expert with the deck. Saying otherwise is part of the messing around. As for "weaker opponents" that technically true but weaker opponents implies most named characters and for the unnamed chaff he doesn't use mind games (with his deck anyway) and still uses predaplants. He's also heavily implied to be compelled to use Starving Venom. Especially when other Zarcs are around.

[@maniacalmurderer4123]

Doesn’t matter how good Yuri is He doesn’t have a PHD in dueling

[@texasgaming7457]

Yuri flexing always brings me joy, like that video him vs gx nostalgia

[@EthanKironus8067]

That duel is okay, but I still despise it, for 3 reasons. It's naked product placement for the Machine Reactor Structure Deck; there was no real reason for it, especially given we were already well aware of Yuri's superiority complex. While Asuka puts up a good fight, the end result is that she's dealt a humiliating defeat in one of her two duels in the show--the only other having been against some nobody mooks. It's both insulting to her as a legacy character and a betrayal of the impression her entrance duel was meant to send. They animated this entire duel when the only relevant thing is that Yuri has Super Polymerization, and then subsequently show us almost NOTHING of Yugo vs. Yuri despite presaging it in the OP. How in the world does that make sense? TL;DR - I won't and I don't begrudge anyone for liking the duel, and I very much like Reactor Dragon and its cohorts, but that point in Arc-V was one of the worst possible places to include it.

[@Cwronaga216]

My favorite little side interaction with ancient gears is if you chain the effect of ancient gear reborn to the destruction effect of Megaton Golem you get ultimate and Megaton back onto the field at the same time

[@ryandavis9197]

I have made people surrender with this exact combo. It’s nasty if you have multiple castles on field to boost attack to

[@johnnyTimothyRokket]

@@ryandavis9197belt to ass 😂

[@acwolf92]

In ancient Greece these machines were once fire attribute and made of celestial bronze made by Hephaestus of course.

[@greyastray9875]

Absolutely can't go wrong with Ancient Gear Golem... but the satisfaction of summoning Chaos Ancient Gear Giant and wiping the enemy board is just super satisfying. Can't wait to give the new cards a shot!

[@finaldarkfire]

The fact that the Ancient Gears have crossover with the Gadgets, ie; one of Yugi's signature cards, has always felt like in has some weird and funny in-universe implications for DM and GX. Like are the Ancient Gears an in-universe evolution of the Gadget series? Was YUGI involved in their development in some way? Did Yugi actually USE Ancient Gears at some point post-DM? Does this imply that Crowler somehow KNOWS Yugi or was inspired by him in some way?

[@PokeMasrerJ]

Funny story I heard once. Two friends were playing YuGiOh, one on a Super Heavy Samurai deck, the other on an Ancient Gear. AG player has Chaos Ancient Gear Golem on board, and would have game next turn since the Super Heavy Samurai player had an empty field. And what did he draw, Battleball ofc. He made sure it was level 10 and just uneffected from spells and traps. "I snyc my level 2 Super Heavy Samurai Battleball with *your* level 10 Chaos Ancient Gear Golem to make Super Heavy Samurai Steam Train King!" And he swung for game. AG player," Did you just YuGiOh top deck me?" lol

[@Dragon66898]

The unstoppable force of gears will bring about a new Industrial Revolution!

[@enlongjones2394]

“Ancient Gear Advance” is likely named for “Advance Summoning”, the Japanese term for tribute summoning.

[@cancerstinks1]

Legitimately surprised Nova didn’t know the new Geartown ruling

[@brave-heartedgamer6386]

The what, now?

[@theonewhowatches869]

@@brave-heartedgamer6386 If you play another field spell on top of Geartown, under the current rules it's sent to the GY without being destroyed and the effect doesn't activate

[@brave-heartedgamer6386]

@@theonewhowatches869 Oh, that ruling! Thanks for the clarification!

[@pokeperson1000]

I find Nova to have a trend on doing relatively extensive research but missing the nitty gritty details because he skims over something or goes off of the memory of something and proceeds to believe it goes a certain way. Like with Geartown here, and with Bloom Diva the Melodious Choir as another example. For Geartown, he probably remembered how it used to work and based it from there. At least he corrected himself in editing. For Bloom Diva, he probably just remembers that one time in the anime where it was summoned with Tamtam as a material and had its effect strengthened by its resulting lower attack stat, so he just skimmed over the official card and completely missed the part that specifies it only works with original attack. He even continues to bring up that he believes it works on current attack because he mentions that the attack buff from the new Melodious support weakens Bloom Diva's effectiveness (even though it doesn't).

[@JoePlinkelton]

Cyber, Cyberdark, Lightsworn, Ancient Gear...so many long videos back to back, dont forget to take a break!

[@Jrey1803]

This coming out the same day Rata does support report for ancient gears is the absolute perfect start to my morning as an ancient gears enthusiast🥴

Ancient Gears where my first ever real yugioh deck my senior year of high school. I just bought the Machine Re Volt structure deck and my friend gave me a copy of knight, beast, and fist and I loved playing that deck

[@joaocisne556]

clockwork night is a good pick for this deck

[@wingedbluj1674]

Fun Fact: Ancient Gear Frame was initially named "Ancient Gearframe", drastically reducing its synergy.

[@OracleOfTheOasis]

Nova’s making up for the last 3 years with all the dirty jokes in the video

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

Okay, so it's not just me, this IS the horniest video I've ever made.

You know, today i was thinking " I really like Ancient Gears, I hope Nova makes an Explained video some day"... Nova get out of my head!! This are private thoughts!!

[@KaiserVarius]

ANCIENT GEAR GOLEM!!!

[@dasanchi9542]

Ancient gears is my favorite deck to run on master duel, right there next to cyberdark/cyber dragons. It's brought me so much joy to eek some wins over modern meta decks being an OG who favors the GX arc over everything else 😅 Side note, Howitzer truly is the boss monster of the deck, and you can't change my mind

[@zachpottinger1842]

I really didn’t like how Arc-V made the Ancient Gears an evil Archetype, because completely spits in Crowler’s name. Sure he started off as a Bitchy Pansy and he didn’t like Jaden, but he gotten better overtime in the Show, and it showed that Crowler is a good person who cares for his Students, and he can use Ancient Gears for good. So it was a rather dick move Arc-V made Crowler’s Deck into an Antagonist Deck for a bunch of Genocidal Fascists that also spit in Duel Academy’s name.

[@Sta_cotto]

I will confess I got the old structure deck when I was a kid and legit thought you could tribute summon Gadjiltron Dragon with all three gadgets (I never actually understood the actual rules back then 😅)

[@Generalphoenix8438]

I still use this deck and though it has its ups and downs. I love both the steampunk theme which I think they relate too and I love the summon mechanics. My lot call me ancient and I've messed up many players with these in tournaments. I'm definitely getting the new cards when I have the money.

[@SlateofGranite]

I remember the time in middle school, back when Gadetron Dragon was new, I played against my friend and it came down to the wire with a few hundred LP each. I had said dragon, and he managed to bring out Blue Eyes Shining Dragon, thinking there was nothing that could stop him. Then he attacked into limiter removal. It was a good time.

[@nekipeh7373]

So, do you want to be Piercer, Fusion or Burn archetype? Ancient Gear: brick

[@calebk4232]

Monarchs: Welcome to the club.

[@yamato9753]

I love the ancient gear archetype. Ancient gear golem was such a strong boss monster, they and cyber-dragons awoke my love for machine decks. And I like Crowler, so I will give you all a fun-fact about him: In the german dub, Crowler is voiced by the same voice-actor than Spongebob squarepants. The voices weren't even that different, which made many german People laugh.

[@Trekkie46]

Imagine if Gadjiltron became a full-fledged sub-archetype, bridging the gap between Ancient Gear and the Gadget deck. Opening such a wide variety of deck building potential would be so overwhelming interesting!

[@Labrynth-13]

Love the Armored Core reference... depends on the Quad Legs they're using, if they got the Balem legs the Megaton is good

[@SageofLight777]

It's funny I just found out about the new Ancient Gear support from Rank10, and now here's this. The stars do indeed align.

[@kingluno4983]

Maaaan I’ve been waiting for this one

[@johnnyTimothyRokket]

First deck i learned how to play. My first love. I put plenty belt to ass wit AGs

[@lunerblade13]

27:17 I just thought of something funny. Fusion summon howitzer to use its effect, normal summon the level 2 infinitrack monster and use its effect to overlay the two monsters to summon Gustav for more burning.

[@arcuserarc1201]

I like to Run an Magical Hound with Reactor Dragon for Baron, and since its Machine you can also Summon Ballista, it´s versatile.

[@johnfritz4807]

At this point, Konami needs to release a new structure deck for ancient gears since they are getting a good amount of support lately. I feel that they more than deserve another structure deck. Love your channel. Keep up the amazing work.

[@user-et6vh3wv8s]

Agreed ancient gear should get a second structure deck, but I seriously hope that konami use it as a excuse to release the hound fusion's and a hall tool box of new fusion's and other supporting cards. And I also konami could do what was done with the dark world archetype and release a unexpected curve ball with "colourless".

[@TheSliferSlacker199]

I’m guessing you have t actually read that card, if you did you’d know that card sends the listed AG golem, which dark golem counts as while on the field and won’t be able to activate its effects after you send a copy. Just FYI.

[@omni-bestiary2993]

@@TheSliferSlacker199 ack I legitimately didn't take that into account. This wasn't something that needed to be considered before the newest support was released. Though if you can make plays without dark golem, you can probably still give this a try.

Ah Ancient Gears. They are right alongside Dinosaurs as one of the purest definition of "forget all the nonsense. Just punch em!" No novel length effects. No continually using a bunch of stuff that can effectively waste everyone's time. Nah with Ancient Gear you just summon a big monster, wind up and deck em right in the schnoz! And if that don't work at least ya tried I only say they're second to dinos cause Ancient Gears don't have an equivalent to Ultimate Conductor Tyranno. Which is good.

Even Ghoti can beat these guys, with less bricks. Some archetypes need complete revisions, but Konami would rather keep making mediocre support for bad archetypes.
