Card Tips:Geartown
- This card can be searched by "Ancient Gear Ballista", "Ancient Gear Dark Golem", "Terraforming", "Metaverse", "Set Rotation", "Ancient Fairy Dragon", "Cosmo Queen, the Queen of Prayers", "Planet Pathfinder", "Cattycorn", "Horned Saurus", "Majesty Pegasus, the Dracoslayer", "Rainbow Bridge of Salvation", "Demise of the Land", "Pop-Up", "Earthbound Servant Geo Kraken", "Favorite Hero", "Ghostrick Renovation", "An Owl of Luck", "Madolche Butlerusk", and other generic searchers.
- Play cards like "Ancient Gear Catapult", "Ancient Gear Ballista", "Galaxy Cyclone", "Mystical Space Typhoon", "Tornado Dragon", "Breaker The Magical Warrior" or "Destiny HERO - Dread Servant" to destroy this card and allow yourself to Special Summon an "Ancient Gear" monster to gain quick field advantage.
- Use "Double Cyclone" to destroy one of your opponent's Spell or Trap Card while gaining an "Ancient Gear" monster in the process.
- Remember that "Ancient Gear Golem", "Ancient Gear Golem - Ultimate Pound", "Ancient Gear Beast", "Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem", and "Chaos Ancient Gear Giant" cannot be Special Summoned with this because their summoning conditions restrict it.
- However, "Ancient Gear Howitzer" can be summoned from the GY, if it was properly summoned. Its effect allows the summoning of "Ancient Gear" monster from the Deck, ignoring the summoning conditions.
- This card works extremely well with "Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon". This card will allow it to be Tribute Summoned using 1 monster (most preferably "Ancient Gear Gadget" to gain both effects), and is the strongest monster that can be Special Summoned when this card is destroyed.
- This card works nicely with "Demise of the Land" to place it on the field in response to the Special Summon of a monster with a field-clearing effect, such as "Demise, King of Armageddon" or "Judgment Dragon". If your opponent uses their monster's effect, this card will Summon a 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 Tributes.
- Pick a copy of this card for the effect of "Magical Hats" to Special Summon at least one "Ancient Gear" monster to your field.
- Pick two copies of this card to Special Summon two "Ancient Gear" monsters with the same Level for an Xyz Summon.
- Set "Geartown" to your opponent's field with "Set Rotation" to gain the benefits of another Field Spell while still being able to destroy the opposing "Geartown" and Special Summon an "Ancient Gear" monster.
- "Minefieldriller" or "Z-ONE" can return this card to your hand after it is destroyed.
- With this card on the field, cards like "Cost Down", "Level Conversion Lab" and "Star Blast" can allow high-Level "Ancient Gear" monsters like "Ancient Gear Golem" and "Ancient Gear Golem - Ultimate Pound" to be Summoned without Tributes.
- If your opponent uses this card, it will be dangerous destroying it, but it will miss timing if it is destroyed during Chain Link 2 or more by cards like "Mystical Space Typhoon" (see rulings). Alternatively, remove it from the field without destroying it with cards like "Spiritualism" or "Cosmic Cyclone".
- Use "Ancient Fairy Dragon" to destroy your own "Geartown", but keep in mind that if you search for a Field Spell with its effect, "Geartown" will miss the timing.
- Use "Black Rose Dragon" to destroy all cards on the field, including this card, and Summon an "Ancient Gear" monster to attack directly.
- This card works well with "Earthbound Immortal" monsters. When "Geartown" is destroyed, causing the "Earthbound Immortal" to be destroyed, an "Ancient Gear" monster can still be Special Summoned.
- The effect of "Fire King Avatar Yaksha" can be used when it is destroyed to destroy this card while it is on the field or even in your hand.
- "Chain Dispel" can be activated when this card is activated to destroy two "Geartown" in your Deck, activating their effects.
- Notably, this card does not need to be destroyed face-up, as its effect activates in the GY. Placing this card face-down can often bait your opponent into destroying it.
Traditional Format[edit]
- Destroy this card and all of your opponent's Spells/Traps with "Heavy Storm".
