Watching Yu-Gi-Oh! short videos is making the veteran players lose...

With doubt, Professor Crowler calmed down. Perhaps it was like Dark Magician. He could only evaluate it after seeing the entire build and strategy.

Main World

The video began to play. The video blogger, "Ancient Gear is Faith," began to speak slowly.

Ancient Gear is Faith: "Hello, everyone. I'm very happy to bring you the Ancient Gear deck, also known as the 'AG' deck build introduction. As the professor's deck, I personally like this archetype very much. After several waves of support, its strength has been significantly improved. Next, let's take a look at the overall build."

As his voice ended, the next scene of the short video was the display of the Ancient Gear decklist! And as the build appeared, all the duelists in the GX world fell silent. There weren't many unique or standout features in the main deck, with the only constant being the inclusion of hand traps. What silenced them was not this, but the Extra Deck! More than half of it was filled with Fusion ace monsters! A very small number of Link and Xyz monsters. This all pointed to one thing! This archetype's build was mainly centered around Fusion! And its ace monsters were mostly Fusion monsters!

And it was this point that shattered the GX students' perception of Ancient Gears! In their impression, Professor Crowler relied on his Ancient Gear deck, mainly on the 3000 ATK of Ancient Gear Golem for a powerful offense! As for anything else, they rarely saw it! But now, the Ancient Gear deck revealed from the higher world was completely centered around Fusion! Without a doubt, the higher world's AG had broken the conventional way of playing it in their world!

DM World

Looking at this brand-new archetype, Kaiba was the first to frown. Each of the Fusion monsters shown in the Extra Deck seemed to have a high power level! Was this another powerful archetype? He wondered which would be stronger, this or Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

"Ancient Gears?" Joey blinked. "Also known as AG? I remember that cheater, Keith, also used a Machine-type deck." He was thinking of Bandit Keith, who used Barrel Dragon and cheated. And on the other side, Keith nearly coughed up blood when he heard Joey's words. He really knew how to rub salt in the wound. But this Machine deck, at first glance, its strength did seem quite good. The multiple Fusion aces meant that there were plenty of options for boss monsters. The build had a good number of monsters and Spells, and also some Traps. The deck composition was quite reasonable. It was just that the specific strategy was still unclear.

...

In the short video, after a simple look at the build, the video blogger began to explain the core cards of the AG deck.

Ancient Gear is Faith: "After looking at the build, next we'll look at the must-run cards. First is the key core card of the archetype, a mandatory 3-of! It's also the strongest searcher in the AG deck! Ancient Gear Wyvern!!!"

[Card Name: Ancient Gear Wyvern (Level 4)]

[Attribute: EARTH]

[Type: Machine]

[ATK/DEF: 1700/1200]

"This card's role in the archetype is equivalent to Stratos in the HERO deck. Effect 1: If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add 1 'Ancient Gear' card from your Deck to your hand, except 'Ancient Gear Wyvern'. A powerful and straightforward search effect. At the same time, everyone must remember the restriction. After you activate this effect, you cannot Set cards for the rest of this turn. This effect can sometimes screw you over. Because you searched for a Spell/Trap, but you can't set it, so always remember the restriction. And Effect 2: If this card attacks, your opponent cannot activate monster effects until the end of the Damage Step. This effect can sometimes be surprisingly effective. For example, it can deal with an opponent's set Flip effect monsters, and also get rid of many 'final word' monsters. So it's not hard to see how core this card is in an AG build, right?"

His words left many duelists in a daze. In the GX world, the duelists who were still beginners naturally couldn't understand the value of the second effect! But the more experienced duelists, after hearing it, had to re-evaluate this Wyvern. A searcher that also prevents monster effects in battle. Not only could it be a utility card, but it could also serve as a beater to deal with many troublesome monsters! In this regard, running three copies was no problem at all!
