Meh all things considered. Machine already has steady backrow removal with Barrage of Steel, and Supplier although a bit more cost intensive to use can still let you draw and doesn’t need a Gadget in the GY.
Plus you kinda want the Gadgets to stay in the GY in nearly all situations so shuffling one back is counterproductive.
Not only that but Ancient Gears kinda don’t give a damn about enemy traps for the most part.
Still, I suppose being able to destroy equips and field spell cards is kinda cute?
They are still vulnerable to Traps that activate on summon or during the Main Phase.
The main issues are that this monster doesn’t really offer much that the existing library doesn’t already do and you specifically need to shuffle back a Gadget. The attack lock is also something to consider.
I mean they still have problems with Traps such as Mirror Force, Magic Cylinder and the like.
