Strategic Summary:
Hi there and welcome to today’s Creative Deck Profile, this time focusing on taking the new Ancient Gear [AG] legacy support wave out for a spin. We’re going to start with the star of the new support, Ancient Gear Advance (YGOrg Translation), a new Continuous Spell that tutors any AG S/T on activation. In a vacuum, this card tutors your Ancient Gear Catapult while leaving another card to destroy, but it gets even better as you start looking at the expanded combos, especially since it also has an effect to tribute any monster you control to draw a card. Now, let’s assume you did grab Catapult and used it – one of the things you might be likely to summon is Ancient Gear Dark Golem (YGOrg Translation), a new Level 8 that becomes Ancient Gear Golem on the field or in the GY. It also happens to tutor 2 AG cards or Geartown on summon, then you have to discard a card. This one-two punch of consistency helps the deck get to its core power cards, like Ancient Gear Fusion which conveniently already has a Golem on the field to work with! If you would prefer to go more monster-heavy with your searching, you can grab the new Ancient Gear Tanker (YGOrg Translation) instead, which can Special Summon an AG from the hand on summon, or if your opponent controls a monster, it can summon from the GY instead. It also has an effect to destroy a card you control, pairing nicely with Geartown, Ancient Gear Fortress, or even Clockwork Night.
As for the first of the final two new AG cards, we have Ancient Gear Commander (YGOrg Translation). This Level 4 monster can send an AG Golem from your Deck or Monster Zone to the GY to immediately Normal Summon another AG monster. If you happened to have tributed a monster with Advance earlier in the turn, you are even able to Normal Summon a higher-leveled AG monster without tributing! If you do happen to summon an AG Golem while Commander is on the field, you can Special Summon another from your GY, ignoring its summoning conditions! And as for the final card, Ancient Gear Duel (YGOrg Translation), this is a new Continuous Trap that makes all AG Golem or monsters that mention it unaffected by your opponents’ monster effects. It also lets you Fusion Summon by banishing materials from your Field or GY, letting you bring out something like Ancient Gear Megaton Golem or Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem on the fly for even more damage, if your Chaos Ancient Gear Giant just wasn’t enough damage. Fear nothing from the Battle Phase, when you take on your opponent with the might of the new and improved Ancient Gears!

I wonder how well Voiceless Voice would do if it had more support from the Starry Knight archetype. The wiki already suggests Starry Knight Balefire, and Starry Knight is all about summoning level seven light dragons, giving you material for your Voiceless Voice ritual monsters when Lo isn’t available and you aren’t using Starry Night, Starry Dragon or Arkbrave Dragon on their own
Don’t forget about Ancient Gear Dragon something tells me it’s going to be something that you will need. Plus for all we know Ancient Gear could be getting the same love as dark world, and crystal beast did. Meaning more support might be on the way.
agreed and much want. Maybe something like a cyber dragon-esque fusion or Xyz monster
I actually disagree with you regarding xyz Ancient Gear support but a Ancient Gear that can summon itself would be useful if it has a searching or fusion related effect.
Yeh, vuz in the Arc-V anime, the ancient gears were the enemy of Xyz
