Credit goes to SO BRUTAL's Jan 2019 KOG list. I switched out 2 Wall of Disruptions for 1 Floodgate Trap Hole and 1 Mirror Wall to better respond to Ancient Gears.

A comment from ShrngnMajra:
This deck is pretty budget as evidenced by the 2 jars of greed but they work great for deck thinning.

My skill is balance so you open up on recombination more often than not along w alien kid and a battle trap and anti-magic arrows. My go-to OTK stray is to get overlord on field along with a warrior and use anti magic arrows to push for game.

If that dosent work I get as many monsters into the GY as possible so i can get a 4200 max atk ananta on board and sit on it until i can push for game with either an empty field or anti magic arrows.

Amazoness

A comment from zzamaro:

The skill of the Holy guard is crucial to make this deck work. You spam attacks and banish all of your opponent's monsters with Onslaught and not worry about a thing about cards like WoD or monster with higher ATK-DEF since you will not lose any LP which is a major weakness for Amazoness when I used the skill Endless Traphole with Odion (so I could recycle Onslaught). Heirloom is another powerful card that I used if my Onslaught was removed.

  • I always left Queen on Defense position to protect her from threats like the Drowning Mirror Force unless the back row was empty.

  • Straight Flush: Many of my opponents set 2 cards but would use the last zone when activating a card from hand and I ended using this car a lot. However, when I saw my opponent setting only 1 car, then I either used this card as a bluff or used it as discard cost for Princess. If you don't like this card, then it can be replaced with a 2nd Heirloom or Cyclone.

  • Unfortunately, while I was able to beat AGs a few times with this deck, a strong hand and luck are needed. Onslaught and Heirloom were the keys to beat AGs.

A comment from Jasper:
My deck is an Amazoness/control deck, mainly amazoness. Onslaught is to get rid of monsters with nasty effects, but main goal is to crash into reactor dragon/Maximus w/swordswoman, or swing in for direct attack and negate the drowning/widespread/etc with a united front— the mvp of the deck. Though situational, this deck shines against decks with beat sticks like ancient gears, blue eyes, Koaki Meiru, and decks that rely on monsters more than backrow.

Ancient Gear

A comment from Schwarzen:
Hey, reached maxed level with this deck. The deck was Ancient Gear and I found that Breaker the Magical Warrior and Solemn Scolding came in really clutch. Otherwise, it is a standard Ancient Gear deck.

A comment from Choppa200:
Ultimate Ancient Gear Soldier Claps. Very Good 90% Win Rate gets insta-scoops on summon can OTK winged kuriboh plays.+2 from Wyvern into Ancient Gearbox. Can beat grit. For mirror match e-con and sphere kuriboh are vital to otk your opponent with their own Ult.

Ancient gear. or atk over theirs with yours. Gearframe can be used effectively against Spellbook of fate, silent magician and sphere and ult. ancient gear can help get over lvl 8. Sphere and econ take maximus on summon can help stall you for a turn ive beaten koakis consecutively without taking damage with econ into ult.

ancient gear golem following. 90% draw into fusion consistency. Middle Age mechs gets over maximus with ancient gear golem and can get over def position ancient gear golem from mirror match if sp summoned in defense which forces your opponent to summon in attack also You can summon your ancient gear golem if you get over your opponents first ult. ancient gear golem and ancient gear golem.

A comment from sveitsi:

pretty much goal is to summon ultimate ancient gear golem first turn, if you are not going first. If u go first and summon ultimate golem opponent will just get rid of it with maximus or vampire vamp. If going first just set canadia/pulse and summon wyvern.

Only had 1 gearbox. Wyvern is one of the best cards in the deck because it's basically +2 with box. Fusion recovery plant can get a +1 with the gearbox in the end phase or add back golem for the next turn.
Middle age mechs came clutch few times if I bricked I could still summon a golem and win.

Good matchup against normal AG because they will have hard time outing your ultimate gear golem and after they out ultimate golem they will have to out the normal golem.

A comment from poogie:
In all seriousness, this deck thrives on the reactor matchup, you'll mostly win it since they cannot attack over UAGG. Be careful of econ taking, and don't be afraid to tth your UAGG if it does happen.

A comment from MetalEtemon:

Note: Most fun & interactive deck I have ever played. The duels usally end on Turn 2. Got from Stage 1 to 20 with almost no losses. The only way this deck loses, is if you get OTKed first. Thats why adding backrow, makes this deck twice as strong then the Gearbox, Gearframe Combo. No matter which meta we are in, Canada/Floodgate still just win games on their own. Activate Pulse Mines BEFORE Sandman is summoned.

Those are one time rewards.

So you CANNOT rank down on purpose, and then rank up again to get the reward twice.

Also to add, if you start from dlv 15 (for example), you will get rewards for those dlv (1-14) that you have skipped in your mailbox.

Amazoness still strong. I didn't thought I would be able to get to Dlv20 because I encountered so many AG decks at 18, but I got a more balance encounter selection at Dlv19.

Yeah. If you start 1st, you will lose.

Speakibg of which, here is a nice replay of me vs koaki on dlv20 matches. I still won even though I was 1st. And I was not even at full power as I am trying to get Holy guard for Luna.That is why I went for Tiger instead of Queen in that replay.

Replay shared! #DuelLinks

FINALLY GOT IT! After getting Tier 0'd to death by Fur 🔥 for months, I got revenge, and I got DL Max! Even with Komoney intentionally programming the pack to give up Diamond Core at the very end, tenacity wins, and 2 was enough!

Also, AG's were a nightmare, and I'm tired of these Buy 2, get 1 Meta Deck sales Komoney's been doing... At least Blue-Eyes are a cake-walk.

Also, it's amazing how often people forget Diamond Core banish effect protects my monsters. The blown TTHs and Offerings were hilarious!

Also, favorite play of the climb, TTH to deal with 2 Aromage cards, they used that Archer hand-trap, but I had a 2nd TTH on field, and since the first wasn't in the GY yet, it bypassed the first negate and STILL worked!

Oh, another fun play I pulled off was Sandman negate, activate Core Reinforcement, bring it back, and get a 2nd negate out of it (after Maximus on 1 backrow already) leaving them barren and OTK-ready.

Also, Restart is what made my climb work in the end, but if I had a 3rd Diamond, I would've used Balance...
