No, but I do see AGGD + Geartown being used more with Machina Fortress and Trade-in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Armed_Zombie Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Thing is tho' date=' what makes Ancients soo bad?[/quote'] They are slow, none of their effects are near "good" when compared to today (even the "no s/t until after dmg step" is avoided by chainables such as Waboku and T-Roar) and the fact that their boss monsters can't really be special summoned aside from AGGD, which is usually better in a non-Ancient Gear deck.

Pretty much it. only real way to add speed is to work in a Trade-In engine. If AGG could be SS'ed, it wouldnt be so bad, geartown would be fun to play but....it cant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalflygon08 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 They are palyable, but not quick, Magical Hats help swarm Dragon, and they do have the strongest-base ATK machine fusion, that and Powerbond, and all machine support, killed by Fortress Dragon, and System Down, depending on the varient, AG's can be a decent deck (tier 2 arn't they?) The main problem is lack of ATK(if Knight didn't have to be Gemini), and support, Geartown, drill, Limiter Removal, castle, Power bond, and Chimeritechs are the only real support people run in the decks.Though you can OTK with Dragon swarm+Limiter Removal, that just requires Magical Hats, Limiter Removal, and 1 face-up monster(preferably a Gadjitron Dragon/AG beast).

Canadian Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 I really wish ancient gears were more playable also, they would be so fun. Pros:- Abundant amount of supports (for both machines, and ancient gears)- Geartown is probably only of the best feild spells in the game- Owns all facedown traps for attacking (take that mirror force, dimensional prison, ect..)- Good boss cards Cons:- Slow as hell- has few level 1-4 cards that are any good- Most of their boss cards are -2s to play- Overload fusion doesn't work for ultimate ancient gear beast. (sad face D:) My thoughts :> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, ancient gears are way, way to slow nowadays (and I should know, I am a turtle) :mrgreen: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morfowt Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 - Abundant amount of supports (for both machines' date=' and ancient gears)[/quote']don't forget that all ancient gears are EARTH monsters so that's another support group they have.

Being earth is both an advantage and a disadvantage, it escapes certain anti-meta cards because it isn't light or dark, but also lacks the fast (if not broken) support for lights and darks.
