Wow, a lot has changed since I last posted a Realistic Card. So apparently now I have to type up a paragraph. As you can see, it's new support for Gadget Xyz. You Xyz summon it with the 3 Gadgets. It gives your monsters ATK based on the difference between your graveyard and your opponents, hence the name, Gear Ratio. I've seen a lot of Meta decks get graveyards up to twice the size of mine, thus making it anti-meta. Also, it uses it's Overlay Units to normal summon more, which we all know is what supports the Gadget's swarming abilities, note that it's not limited to once per turn. I had to make the first effect very conditional and add more required Xyz materials so that he isn't overpowered. And this is probably long enough to satisfy the new rules.

It's balanced, sure, but I'm not sure it's actually worth the effort you have to invest to get something useful out of it. Gadgets, being a virtual Rank 4 Xyz engine, have plenty of options including, but not limited to, Geargiganto X, Number 39: Utopia, etc., plenty of powerful cards they can go into to create various strategies.

That said, you're using 3 Gadgets for this, when you could use 4 for 2 different monsters and maintain much more advantage. I'm talking Geargiganto X, mostly, though I haven't played around with the Deck enough to know how effective it is now.

I suppose Gadgets [i]could[/i] theoretically include a copy of this in the Extra Deck just to have more options, especially because it is quite powerful and has the ability to run over some things, but I'm not sure it would be my priority to go into this at all. I just feel like Ultimate Offering does the job better. Even with all the Spell/Trap hate we have going around right now, there's so many ways to remove monsters that at least if your Offering gets popped, you've got a much smaller net loss than you would have with this.
