The man wasted a decade and any other career prospects he could have gotten mastering a children's card game. His life is a tire fire. The least you could do is humor the poor fellow.
Most other archetypes: focus on summoning combinations of one another for chaining several effects ranging from weird X-counter shenanigans, graveyard juggling, link/synchro quickplays, archetypal protection, etc Ancient Gears: summon golem and variants of golem then proceed to beat the shit out of the opponent Sometimes, simplicity just works.
As a person who ALWAYS uses Ancient Gears, I can assure you, when I summoned Golem against my friend, who had Droll and Lock Bird on the field (for whatever reason) it was the equivalent of shooting him in the face with a WW2 railgun
There is something that I like about crowler. Despite being a jerk at the start he learned to be a better teacher from his students. A fact he mentions to Bonaparte. I ended up respecting him as a character and there also a line of his that seems to embody him. "I may be hard on them, but I see potential in all my students."
Season 4 where he’s trying not to let the student graduate he’s in the wrong but it is wholesome why he’s doing it cause he doesn’t want them to leave him (even when dueling judai he’s sentimental to him)
Ah, ancient gears. You beautifully simple archetype you. Slap giant monsters on the field and swing for game, no more, no less, and that is why I love them.
Chaos Giant is the honey badger of monsters. He eats Crystal Wing and Utopia for breakfast, and BA, Yang Zings and other floaters just make him laugh. Get a fortress on board, gg.
@@sumtenwitty6021 yup. I bet if they got an archetypal Magical Mallet that gives them 2 extra cards they'd be a lot more viable. The new pot is decent for the them to but the halved damage sucks on an archetype that focuses entirely on hitting stuff really hard.
Obligatory pinned comment to make up for things I didn't mention: - Geartown with Magical Hats makes funny stuff happen - People tried teching in Box to search Spyral Drone but soon realized that's too silly; you can also search all Deskbots with it - Gold and Silver Gadget are somewhat decent options in combination with AG Gadget and Machine Dupe, at least if you're going for Link and Rank4 plays (although I mostly got sidelined on this due to focusing on the OTK aspect)
Honestly I always thought it was kind of random how ancient gears and gadgets work together despite the fact that they were used by two different people Yugi and crowler
I think it's from Rayman 2: the Great Escape, it was also driving me crazy ahaha but I managed to remember, also the 0:50 song is from Bugs Bunny & Taz : Time Busters (was also driving me mad until I remembered XD )
I remember I played one of these on YGOPpro. Opponent used Scapegoat, then I Power Bonded into Gear Giant. I’ve never seen such an overkill. Good times...
Just found your channel a few days ago, gotta say your stuff is *really* entertaining despite the fact that I haven't cared for Yu-Gi-Oh in roughly 10 years. Looking forward to new vids
For real I don't get basically any of the in jokes but Rata is just genuinely one of the most entertaining RU-vidrs I've watched in forever honestly. I've watched all of his videos at least twice now.
I haven't played this game in over a decade, yet i watch this guys' videos because they're surprisingly well made and entertaining. My friend got back into yugioh yet i still don't know half of the new mechanics being told here.
“The meta was unformed void” that’s hilarious. I wonder if they don’t have number monsters in the XYZ dimension since the whole numbers thing was something happening Zexal. So why the meta is more or less just raidraptors and ciphers.
@@Isthatthegrimreaper170 yeah, no s39 or anything like that. But even if the numbers cards were in arc-v, they'd be with yuma and/or astral specifically, so it's not something that anyone would have had access to.
Legit the other week I was fighting a HERO deck with Ancient Gears on the losing end had only 200 life points the other guy had a full bar and a Sunriser Decimator Bane and Adoration on field I used Overload Fusion to summon a Chaos Giant and proceeded to OTKed him in the most extreme comeback I've ever experienced
Something of note is: There is an honorable member to the Ancient Gear lineup. Similar to Gearspring Spirit for Gimmick puppets and that is: Magical Dog. This card lets you bounce a spell / trapcard from your opponent, specials summons itself from the hand or GY (meaning good disard fodder), Is an earth machine, has 500 Attack (meaning it is searchable by Ancient gear Box) and is a level one Tuner. This little doggo enables so many good plays for Ancient gear: 1) Urgent Scedule -> Reactor dragon + Dog = Level 10 Synchro: De Fleur. -> Revive and mix with 1 more earth machine to form Ballista, searching Geartown, blowing it up for a Free summon from deck. 2) Wyvern -> Box + Dog search. Dog + Wyvern -> Ballista. Searching Geartown. Ballista effect + Geartown -> Gearframe. Activate Gearframe: Search Fusion. Fusion summon depending on cards: (Only field -> Hauvitzer) (Field + 1 -> Megaton) (Field + 2 -> Chaotic Ancient gear Golem). With Dog + a small machina engine, you suddenly have access to quick field settup and Synchro access for level 5 (Wyvern + Dog), Level 8 (machina Fortress + Dog), Level 9 (Golem + Dog), Level 10 (Reactor Dragon + Dog) and Level 11 (Machina Citadel + Dog) Synchros. The rule of thumb is: Ancient gears adopt one doggo (since its effect is once per duel) _________________ Support Update on Dog: One Dog still has room in the archetype for longer games, but mainly acts as fodder for Dark Golems discard and material for Ballista. With Baron being banned, the next likely solution is actually to go full Kaminacat and put in trish. Because Geartown + Catapult = Dark Golem + Wyvern, Search 3 discard Doggo (Box Search Anchor Drill). Drill -> Tanker -> Commander. Drill + Golem = Balista, search Geartown, Activate Commander, summon Box, Special Doggo, Wyvern + Doggo + Box = trish. Tanker geartown, get Dark Golem + Golem. Geargiant X, detach Commander, Search Wyvern, GY effect commander, fusion Ultimate. But more often than not: You just use the doggo to get to ballista.
Synergies: Ancient Gear + Train allows for various beatdown paths, even the Liebe Smackdown (2 Trains -> Gustav 2000 dmg -> Liebe effect 6000 attack, with a Wyvern searching Box + Dog resulting in a Ballista which sets an enemies attack to 0. 2000 Gustav + 6000 Liebe = game). Also Scedule -> De Fleur. Ancient Gear + Machina gives more resilliance after turn 2 and some better turn 1 options. Infinitrack is ofcourse also a good option to combo. But an interesting Earth machine variant does not use them. This mixes Ancient gear + Trains + Machina for slightly worse Turn 2 power but far superior Turn 1 and Grindgame. A Tiny Machina engine helps with setting up the GY and getting bodies on board. Trains offer extra bodies and give more Protection (Dora). And Ancient gear uses BIG NUMBER to smash the enemies face in.
@@naomisisk4663 Well no, it still works. He was still banned for a long time. He had a prison sentence and was let go. So, yeah, it still works. Now if I said "Too bad Statos is gone" or something like that, then it would age poorly. I made sure to future-proof my words.
I dunno about that, but he did get 'consistently' good character development, unlike some other characters who just got weird mini personal arcs thrown in towards the end of the show.
actually they dont appear to have an order, we just got retrained Surge of Radiance and now we're getting retrained Curse of Darkness, which came out after. and we've already had AG and Dinos which came before either of those retrained
Macho Pony there's an order, the reason for the skip was because they wanted a SD-R to tie in with Yugioh ArcV. So they briefly skipped to Ancient Gears for the sake of a tie in episode where one of the villains literally ran the AG Structure Deck R, boss monster and all. Instead of his usual deck. We are back on track now. With the next R being the WIND SD.
Cave of Bad Dreams from Rayman 2 to simulate your Bad Dreams? Ten out of ten for grabbing good music, even for a moment, when editing in music, you god among men. No but for real, I have been so stoked for this video, and I'm freaking happy to bare witness.
I love Ancient Gears and Crowler, so I am very glad to see this video. Good job Rata! The only thing I don't love is "Ancient Gear Golem - Ultimate Pound" 's TCG name. "Ultimate Pound" is AGG's attack name in the original Japanese anime, in the English Dub the attack is called "Mechanized Melee". Therefore, the TCG card REALLY should be called "Ancient Gear Golem - Mechanized Melee" and the fact that it doesn't bothers me to no end. Unless there's some "mechanized" or "melee" archetype that'll be released in the future that Konami of America knows about, I don't see any reason to not give the card its proper name. It's the only name change that has ever bothered. Oh well, ultimate pound at least gives us sex jokes. Speaking of which about that Alexis hent-- *destroyed by Ancient Gear Catapult*
Then again the Blue-Eyes signature attack spell in the TCG uses the Japanese name of the attack Burst Stream of Destruction. So it's not like Konami hasn't used the Japanese names of attacks on TCG cards before.
I love Ancient Gears. In an era of mass swarming and non-battle removal, it's really nice to be able to just sit back and partake in the lost art of Punching Things Really Hard.
you do realize you can have ancient gear gadget be treated as gold or silver gadget letting you machine duplication into two copies of them to summon something like wyvern or gearframe from hand for a link summon followed by a rank four, or you could make something like borreload dragon or something instead. kinda feel that should warrant at least one extra point in the versatility category, since that opens the extra deck up a lot.
I was just looking on your Twitter when this popped up! Just be happy that lewd images of Ojama Lime don't exist. (Someone, please hit me with a Fiendish Chain for my sins)
Now all they need is a level 12, unaffected by all card effects, and has more than 5000 attack made of 5. As a fan of ancient gears i also wish they had a boss monster with some disruption. Uhh…one can only dream…
I don't know how much it's worth but thank you I'm passing a really dark moment of my life and often your videos are the key to a few minutes of pace Thank you very much rata
Ancient Gear Master. A Level 4 Earth Warrior with 1900 Attack & 0 Defense. When this card is summoned you can special summon one Ancient Gear monster from your hand. Ignoring the summoning conditions (Think Crowler in monster form) Ancient Gear Feline. A Link 2 Earth Machine with down left & down right pointing arrows. While this card is on the field Ancient Gear monsters cannot be targeted by card effects.
@@cyberneticking im kind of let down by it. They went back and colored it as well decensored the bars, but never thought, yeah no this doesnt need more pages.
Why do I feel like Superheavy Samurais are the complete opposite of Ancient Gears. SHS-shield Bash stuff till it dead and anti-backroll. AG- Punch stuff till it dead and even more anti-backroll
Reactor Dragon can also blow up your own Fortress/Geartown to shit out another Reactor Dragon which can attack, blow up another Fortress/Geartown, and shit out yet another Reactor Dragon for game probably
If we are reaaaaaaaally stretching for use of the "Ancient Gear" card, it can be used for a Rank 2 play... I guess? but a bajillion other cards can do the job much better You should also mentioned Power Bond + Limiter Removal + Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem XD It's insanely inconsistent and I usually lose before I pull it off, but it is insanely fun to use a 17600 ATK monster to swing for game
MY OLD AUTONOMOUS BOIS ARE FINALLY HERE Edit: Thank you Rata for listening to my prayers in the night, now I don't have to burn piles of gears before bed.
Anyone else remember when the AG play was Summon Royal Magical Library, activate TerraForm/Town, then Double Cyclone, then Town/TerraForm And draw off RML whenever possible? Using 3 Terrafs, 3 Towns, and 3 DCs, you can draw 3, and have 3 GajDragpns
