Card Tips:Geartown


 * This card can be searched via Terraforming or Demise of the Land.


 * Play cards like "Heavy Storm" or "Mystical Space Typhoon" to destroy this card and allow you to special summon an "Ancient Gear" monster to gain quick field advantage.


 * Remember that you cannot Special Summon "Ancient Gear Golem", "Ancient Gear Beast" or "Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem" with this because their effects restrict it.


 * This card works extremely well with "Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon". The Dragon can be Tribute Summoned for 1 monster (most preferably "Green Gadget" to gain the Piercing effect) while it is in play, and is the strongest monster you can Special Summon when it is destroyed.


 * This card also works nicely with Demise of the Land. By chaining that to the Special Summon of a monster with a field-clearing effect (such as Demise, King of Armageddon or Judgment Dragon) when your opponent declares priority on the effect's activation, you will bring Gear Town to the field just in time to be destroyed, giving you a free monster that can either hold off an attack or, at the very least, force them to pay the cost to use the destruction effect again.


 * This card allows Ancient Gear Engineer, Ancient Gear Beast and Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Chimera to be summoned without tribute, and Ancient Gear Golem and Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon to be summoned with only one tribute.


 * Pick a copy of this card for the effect of "Magical Hats" to Special Summon at least one Ancient Gear monster to your side of the field, excluding Ancient Gear Beast, Ancient Gear Golem, and Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem.


 * If you have three copies of this card in your hand, you can play all of them, one after another. Make sure when you play the 2nd and 3rd cards that you play them face down so the Special Summoning effect doesn't miss the timing. With the first 2 destroyed, you get two monsters. If you've got a Spell/Trap destroyer, you can destroy the third one. Then, you'll have three Ancient Gear monsters on the field! Combine them with another Ancient Gear monster or Limiter Removal for an OTK


 * Use this card with Cost Down, Level Conversion Lab, or Star Blast so that you don't even have to tribute for Golem or Gadjiltron Dragon.


 * Destiny Hero - Dread Servant can be useful. If this card is destroyed,you can destroy Geartown on your side of the field.


 * If your opponent uses this card, it will be dangerous destroying it. If you want to destroy it, be sure to do it activating something like Mystical Space Typhoon in chain, so Geartown effect won't activate because it misses the timing (see rulings). Another way is send this card back to the hand with Giant Trunade or similar effects, or having something like Bottomless Trap Hole or Torrential Tribute on the field to destroy the Special Summoned monster after destroying Geartown. Remove this card from play is even better.


 * Use Ancient Fairy Dragon to destroy your own Geartown, but do not search for a replacement if you want to Special Summon a monster like Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon, otherwise you will miss the timing for its activation.
 * You can easily summon Ancient Fairy Dragon by normal summoning Black Salvo with a level 4 dark machine like Mechanicalchaser or Toon Cannon Soldier in your graveyard. Alternatively, you can synchro summon Black Rose Dragon to wipe the whole field and get Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon when Geartown is destroyed.


 * This card works well with "Earthbound Immortals". When Geartown is destroyed, causing the Earthbound Immortal to be destroyed, you can still Special Summon an Ancient Gear monster.
