Notes & Combos

Classic, steamlined Chaos Giant-centered Ancient Gears with no fancy bells or whistles. Just place the fortress and bring the Chaos Giant ready to throw hands that's rated E for everyone.

And also no funny Gizmek froggo, I got better Urgent Schedule targets that aren't bricks.

As usual, since our Costco-Sangen Summoning is at 3, we get to ignore Maxx C and get away not running Ash Blossom/Called By/Crossout. Speaking of Maxx C, we got both Maxx C and now Mulcharmy Fuwalos at max numbers because we can definitely abuse this as a Blind Second player. Also keeps Ash Blossom at bay, if they have spent it negating our critters. Triple Tactics cards to gain card advantage that we all desperately need to finish the game at Turn 2. Droplet and Super Polymerization too of course because we all gotta love cards that ignores our opponent's desperate plea for a response. It does feel a bit of a double-edged sword with Super Poly, but our opponent does make really, really big boards with interactions coming from GY, Field, and hand these days.

Junk Giant is there for Urgent Schedule target together with Statue for an easy Spright Elf. Junk Giant is also likely to be live in the hand as an extender when someone summoned Fiendsmith Desirae or Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon. Plus, its summon does not start a chain so that's a plus.

The rest are simply utility stuff. Verte Anaconda in case we need a second big, mean punching machine or we got hit by Droll n' Lock Bird. Azalea Temperance + Accesscode Talker in case our fusion strat is moot and acts as backup beaters. Dugaress to cheese ourselves with 9000 atk Chaos Giant, and some additional negate/backrow removal with Qliphort Genius/Knightmare Phoenix respectively. We don't need Bagooska or Almiraj any longer so better fil-up these slots with better cards.

Out of all decks I used to rank up to Master this season, I am quite surprised that its Ancient Gears that managed to get this far. I guess Dr. Crowler did have PhD in Dueling for a really good reason lmao.
