Geargoyle

This is yet another of those multiple-piece archetypes: Their Main Deck Tuners are Machines, their primary Main Deck monsters are Fiends, and a solid chunk of their Synchros are one or the other. However, they do have a few Dragon-Type Synchros in a kind of diverged evolution tree starting with the Level 8 Geargoyle Dragon, because this archetype takes after cards used by Yusei and Jack, following in the footsteps of Synchrons, Resonators, Junk, and Arc-V Jack's "Red" support, on top of the non-Tuners taking after certain non-Tuner monsters each of them favored, with clones of Quillbolt, Vice Dragon, and Tuningware being most prominent.

 

Generally speaking, the archetype just likes to spit out Synchros at alarming speed, but being especially good at making Level 8 because you really should be making Geargoyle Dragon. Also, that dragon can evolve either the Accel Synchro way or via Double Tuning, and if you can consistently get it into the field you might wind up with several boss-level Synchros on the field at once.

 

However, because of this reliance on Synchro raw power, enemy backrow is your worst enemy (although you do have some pretty good sheet of your own for consistency's sake, and to protect your big bosses). Solemns, battle traps, Book of Moon, they all really hate you, and you'll hate all of them, so . . . pack some Twin Twisters and Harpie's Feather Dusters.

 

 

 

This was a fun prompt to do . . . and a difficult one to balance. Synchro spam, especially based on Yusei/Jack, either winds up being underwhelming or absurd, so really it's likely to be . . . weird. However, the general shtick of getting Geargoyle Dragon out is intact, and we have two each of Accel Synchro and Double Tuning.

 

I do recommend suggestions, either for new cards or erratas, so if you have a good idea I ask that you share it.

 

Also, a Quasar/King Calamity clone may eventually come, but I really want to avoid it being spammed in triples, so I'm hesitant.
