Nede Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 (ORIGINAL, REVISED VERSION CHECK BELOW) Ancient Gear Skydweller EARTH/Machine/Link/Effect/Link-1 1 "Ancient Gear" monster When this card is Link Summoned: You can Special Summon up to 2 "Ancient Gear Skydweller" from your Extra Deck or GY. Your opponent cannot activate cards or effects during Main Phase 1 this card is Link Summoned. Once per turn, you can Tribute this card to Special Summon 1 "Ancient Gear" monster from your hand or 1 Level 4 or lower "Ancient Gear" monster from your Deck or GY, ignoring its Summoning conditions. Picture Source : https://www.subpng.com/png-do7fhg/ https://unsplash.com/photos/qFYBki6u3Ik -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First of all, I'd like to emphasize that I don't play Yugioh anymore (since 2013 maybe) so I'm pretty much clueless about the meta but sometimes I watch YT videos about the card game once in a while so I understand bits of this and that (and I can't wait to play Rush Duels on Switch). About the card, I was playing Horizon Zero Dawn and this mecha bird looked so cool and reminded me of Ancient Gear somehow, so I created this card. The concept is, you Link Summon this card and activated its effect to SS 2 copies of it from the Extra Deck so you ended up with 3 of this card in the field and basically you can use the last effect of each of this card to SS anything you want, "Ancient Gear Wyvern" or"Ancient Gear Hunting Hound" from your Deck or "Ancient Gear Golem" from your hand to finally Fusion Summon the big boss or something. Also, since "Ancient Gear" monsters can only protect itself during Battle Phase, I figure why not create a card that protects them during Main Phase 1. That's all, I created this for fun, don't be too harsh y'all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a lot of people, it's Tuesday morning. Many users have jobs. Since I actually have an opportunity: Effect's busted right now. You should add a condition before the "Once per turn". Something like, "While the monster(s) Special Summoned by this effect are on the field, you cannot Summon monsters , except "Ancient Gear" monsters. Why? To avoid Link Summons that are too easy to pull off. Otherwise, people aren't going to be making Ancient Gear Decks. They're gonna be squeezing in 3 copies of one as a means to an engine. And after its last effect, you should add "You can only activate this effect of "Ancient Gear Skydweller" once per turn" . Else, all three Link monsters will be able to do it.

Ohhh yeahhh I forgot about that, I always felt like it's still too free, not restrictive enough 5 minutes ago, The Nyx Avatar said: And after its last effect, you should add "You can only activate this effect of "Ancient Gear Skydweller" once per turn" . Else, all three Link monsters will be able to do it. It was actually on purpose, I was thinking with 3 copies of the field, each one can SS different Ancient Gears to be then used for Fusion Summon. All in all, I was thinking if this card a bit OP is okay, isn't it? I mean this archetype isn't even competitive or anything, might as well create an OP support 9 minutes ago, The Nyx Avatar said: Since I actually have an opportunity: Thank you ^.^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokutah Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 Well links just like other extra deck monster subjected being a nomi and the MR5 ruling which still locks links and pendulum from extra to be summoned on extra monster zone or a zone pointed by link monster. While it lessen the ability to special another copy from gy a bit, but in many scenario summoning even 1 of its copy can lead to bonkers link plays. Almost all Link monster in the game are soo generic that a 1 card link 2+ enabler like this can really jumpstart things and to be fair ancient is a realitively good rouge deck with some good cards that might able to be tech-in some non-ancient gear build, things like catapult or Box for example. Also opponent unable to respond entire plays after is a bit evil. Last effect is kinda fine. But not on the free copies you get. It much more balance if "you can tribute this link summoned card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinkerer Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 I've always appreciated the aesthetic of Ancient Gears, so giving them any type of support is a huge plus from me. Unfortunately, I will have to echo Nyx here: the card is a bit too open-ended. I think it gives a fair power boost to Ancient Gears (considering their weaknesses), but it also gives a lot of free material to any deck that can splash in any Ancient Gear monster. If you restrict your summons to Ancient Gear monsters (or restrict the Extra Deck to Fusions) for the rest of the turn, this should give a much-needed power boost without making other decks even stronger.

Thank you guys for all the input! I believe this is the balanced revision, strong support exclusively for the Ancient Gear archetype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, you can check mine xD Thank you, but I'd like to also keep the original so new people could follow the discussion. I do visit other thread and see other's creation but I don't think I'm in a position to review them, since I don't even play the card game anymore. But I like creating the art for the cards, I always try to match the monster with the name or the effect and edit in Photoshop to atleast resemble a bit like the real card of Yugioh, Hey, I could create the card's art for your cards if you want, don't expect too much though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
