Yugioh Master Duel | Pushing Ancient Gear Golems Even Further Beyond (The Montage)

3 Maxx "C"
3 Ancient Gear Hunting Hound
2 Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring
2 Ancient Gear Box
3 Ancient Gear Wyvern
2 Ancient Gear Frame
3 Ancient Gear Golem
3 Ancient Gear Golem - Ultimate Pound

1 Pair Cycroid

The extra deck could probably be changed to have more utility, but I never really make it that far. I either win or lose quickly.

This proves that meta decks aren’t everything, and that you can just make a deck of an archetype based on what you like! Very good video

[@surgeteamgamingchannel3939]

Thanks! And yes, meta decks aren't everything. I get bored of meta very quickly. I have too much ADHD to focus on being meta all the time. I always try to just have fun!

This is anything but true, and this video is a horribly bad example of this.

[@kaos5205]

@Papyrus, while you may be right about some decks, other decks like odd eyes and roids can still be fun. In fact, the other day I was playing odd eyes against a tearlement deck and one by otk-ing them. So not only does your point stand, but it also falters in it’s same aspect.

[@floofiekun1875]

Ancient Gears is such a fun deck. Out of the many archetypes out there I feel like it's just a solid deck. I mean obviously power creep exists and all that crap, but I just think Ancient Gears are cool as hell.

[@christopherrogers532]

Ancient Gears seem to be one of the few that stay on theme when it comes to power creep. Clunky and Bricky as heck but once they get going lookout.

[@NexeL_NKC]

That's why I have an AG deck irl. I built it myself and it's among my favorites, and the most vicious deck I have. Once it gets going, there ain't much that can stop it.

[@surgeteamgamingchannel3939]

Agreed! It isn't the best deck, but it's the deck I turn to if I just want to relax and have some fun.

[@deathcytheakatsuki]

everything is laughter and mockery from the opponent until Chaos Ancient Gear Giant appears

[@surgeteamgamingchannel3939]

He flexes his way in, and it is beautiful.

[@XanXinGames]

Ancient gears was my first deck i played with, mostly because of the anime, and to see it thrive and get the support it needs from newer sets makes me very happy

[@surgeteamgamingchannel3939]

It's just so fun!

[@marvin25310]

The FIRST thing you should do would be activating fortress. If the opponent negates and destroy it it's a free summon. If they don't? No negate + no destruction. Fortress comes before anything else

[@surgeteamgamingchannel3939]

Very true. Though I usually try to have something go before it as bait.

[@WH40KHero]

Not necesarily. If the opponent fields a negate heavy deck you want fortress to go through, so sometimes you need to bait out the negates to get it off to secure the rest of your plays. Then again, next turn hes gonna destroy it most likely anyway, so if you get a free summon from it it might be more valuable to sacc it that way.

[@CountSpartula]

Ancient gears are a vibe. Perfect music choice.

[@surgeteamgamingchannel3939]

[@surgeteamgamingchannel3939]

Seems to be a recurring thing. Something like this happened in my previous Ancient Gear montage, and I thought it was hilarious!

[@5H4D0W-TP]

I play 2 decks in Master Duel that play similar to Ancient Gears and there are many moments when I wished they have uninterrupted battles and piercing damage.

[@TaikunZ]

The first match is a great reason for why generic Extra Deck monsters like Baronne and Accesscode Talker need to be errata'd to require their types or archetypes only to summon. Look at these "meta" decks' lazy over-reliance on them and having literally nothing else once they're outed. Great Gearbro compilations, never let Dr. Crowler down!

[@surgeteamgamingchannel3939]

I try my best! Even in the face of generic staples!

[@Ben0_o]

As a cyber dragon user, machine supremacy!. I tried mixing them in my own builts but it's true,if you don't open a hand to survive if bricked, you'll be in for a rough ride, but you feel god if you have power bond in hand+limiter removal and a way to bait negations

[@surgeteamgamingchannel3939]

[@DruoxTheShredder]

This is a great deck! If you didn't net deck this build, you have every reason to be proud of it. It makes me wanna learn ancient gears! haha, looks amazing!!

[@surgeteamgamingchannel3939]

I originally tried to net deck as it allows me to find which cards are good with the deck. I then found out that most net decks are poorly thought about. Ancient Gear Golems need to win FAST, and having a fallback plan only makes you stall out your loss longer. So this is my original deck now! No extra fluff, just ending the game quickly! Thanks for your appreciation!

[@DruoxTheShredder]

@@surgeteamgamingchannel3939 I think every great deck starts as a "net deck" and as your skill improves, and your understanding of the mechanics increases, it becomes your deck as you tweak it to do what you want it to do.

Sadly not consecutive. I admit that Ancient Gears have their flaws. I did get most of these games within just a few days though. I had more wins, but not all of them are montage-worthy.

[@Wizman347]

Not gonna lie, mr crabs caught me off guard

[@tylermorgan8496]

This is the first time I’ve seen someone else use Ancient Gear besides myself and god I need to add some cards to my deck

[@surgeteamgamingchannel3939]

My best advice on Ancient Gear is that you shouldn't bother with a slow backup plan. You need to prioritize winning quickly. Backup plans generally just give your opponent more time while you're struggling to regain lost ground. In other words, you just lose very slowly without a chance of regaining lost ground.

[@tylermorgan8496]

No absolutely, I’ve realized that I play pretty slow with the deck because I’m super cautious, but I need to put in things like power bond or limiter removal, I’ve never had those cards in this deck and now I see that they could make my deck so much better

[@ZadeKirian]

@@AngelofDeath-Y2K The reason it isn't so good is because it requires "Ancient Gear" itself, not an "Ancient Gear" monster.

This shits hit harder than kaiba ever be.

[@quarentman5100]

I kick myself for not thinking of limiter removal before this video

[@shadowspector3611]

First off: I love your memes. They make me smile. But let me ask, why do you go for Megaton so often at the start when Chaos Giant would be better? I was beginning to question if Chaos Giant was even in the game yet.

[@surgeteamgamingchannel3939]

It depends on the situation. If I am going first, I will usually go for Megaton due to its floating effect. If I am going second, it depends on my hand and the opponent's board. Chaos Giant has protection from Limiter Removal, so if I have Limiter Removal, I won't go for Chaos Giant. Chaos Giant can attack only monsters multiple times, and Megaton can attack as many times as Ancient Gear Golems were used for its materials. Megaton is sometimes my choice if the opponent doesn't have many monsters. Also sometimes if I think my opponent has an out for my board, I will go with Megaton because I assume my opponent will trigger its floating effect. A lot more thought goes into my plays than most would think.

[@surgeteamgamingchannel3939]

Very true. The deck is meant to win quickly. At least my version is.

[@Johnny4056]

Have you tried incorporating the Vernusylph engine? Those cards allow you to special summon AG monsters since they are all Earth. Downside is that the special summons happen in the grave so might be easy to counter but still consider

[@christopherrogers532]

hmm is there even room to squeeze them into the deck though? O_o

[@Johnny4056]

@@christopherrogers532 I would do 2 of the duck, the fairy dude(foolish burial for earth monsters) and maybe 1 of the bear for a free draw 1. If on the off chance you have two lvl4 vernusylph for T1, you can make bagooska as a safe board ender along with AG howitzer (summon howitzer then bagooska to avoid negating yourself).

there seems to be a lack of consistency, like you are drawing the high hitters instead of making the right combos

[@surgeteamgamingchannel3939]

Honestly, it's a lot more consistent than you think. You need the heavy hitters in your hand if you are going to fuse the right monsters. This isn't a combo deck. It's a beatdown deck. Though I could certainly use earth machine support to add more consistency, I just really never saw a reason to.

[@miguelcervera3377]

No urgent schedule?, one of the best cards for any based earth machine deck and you dont run it. Overload fusion its a better option for necro fusion You need to polish the main & extra deck

I don't use Urgent Schedule because its too reliant on my opponent for my tastes. Also Overload Fusion is too limited. It can only summon Chaos Ancient Gear Golem. Sometimes I want to be ready to summon another of the fusion monsters.
