Ancient Gear Falcon

[AncientGearGeneral]

Once per turn, If you control another "Ancient Gear" monster, you can special summon this card from your hand. If summoned this way, swap it's ATK and DEF. You can flip this card to face-down defense position to add 1 "Ancient Gear" card from your deck to your hand. If this card attacks, your opponent cannot activate Spell/Trap cards until the end of the damage step. You can only use the effect of "Ancient Gear Falcon" once per turn.

A card to make my favorite archetype a bit faster :)
(And yes, the art was done by me)

So... Falcon into 2nd Falcon, into 3rd Falcon, into whatever?

I appreciate how it gives the archetype some much-needed swarm, muscle, and search capability, but I don't fancy how it carries this out.

 

The fact that it can SS itself at no provocation and bounces to search means you have a net boost in card advantage, and get to do it every turn until you decide to Tribute it off. And your opponent has difficulty dealing with that unless they time that Bottomless well (or, you know, use Mistake).

 

Would suggest adding a stricter condition to when you can Summon it, like when you Normal Summon an AG monster (admittedly, this counts Gemini Summoning AG Knight, but that's just icing on the cake).

Ok, I changed the bounce to a face-down flip, I actually like this change as its a free golem and it balances the spam it gives. The thing is, if it gets solemn'd, it's flipped for cost and with a DEF of 100 I'd say it's become a pretty well balance card
