Piece Golems are a series of EARTH attribute Rock-Type monsters that are designed to swarm the field that were released in the booster pack, "The Duelist Genesis". The Piece Golems are shown in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's series being used by Jack Atlas.
With the exception of "Multiple Piece Golem", all Piece Golems have 0 DEF and average ATK for a monster of their level. They also have an ascending/descending ATK and Level, with "Small Piece Golem" being Level 3 and "Big Piece Golem" being Level 5. "Medium Piece Golem" has exactly 500 more ATK than "Small Piece Golem" and exactly 500 less of "Big Piece Golem", with "Big Piece Golem" having exactly 500 less than "Multiple Piece Golem". The piece Golems are great cards for a Synchro deck because of their swarming effect.
Playing Style
"Medium Piece Golem" and "Small Piece Golem" can Special Summon one another. If "Big Piece Golem" is on the field, "Medium Piece Golem" can fuse with "Big Piece Golem" to form "Multiple Piece Golem" which also has a built-in "De-Fusion"-like effect, allowing you to swarm the field if you summoned it from your hand. "Big Piece Golem"" can also be Normal Summoned with no Tributes if your opponent controls a monster and you do not (similar to "Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn").
The quickest way to use them would be to Special Summon "Big Piece Golem", use its effect to bring out "Medium Piece Golem" and then follow that up by using your new monster's effect to bring out "Small Piece Golem" to boot. If you have a Fusion card like "Polymerization" with you, use it as the final step to summon "Multiple Piece Golem" and use all four Piece Golem cards in one turn.
A "Piece Golem" deck is mainly based around swarming and beat-down so it's important to use beat-down support cards that take advantage of swarming such as United We Stand. Your main strategy with this deck is to put as many rock monsters (Preferably Golems) into your grave and either use them with Gaia Plate the Earth Giant or "Reborn" cards such as Call of the Haunted or Monster Reborn to get their swarm effects quickly. Despite the fact that this deck swarms, it does not special summon very much, so Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo will make a perfect addition since it is also a Rock-type and will be able to negate your opponent's special summons and even the game out.
Recommended Cards
Monsters
- Big Piece Golem
- Medium Piece Golem

Spells
- Card Destruction (Helps the same way as Morphing Jar does, puts the Golems in the graveyard and makes decent draw power.)
