Tips, Related Cards, Rulings

Tips

  • This card is a very powerful attack machine that can go straight for your opponent's’ monsters or even attack your opponents directly, disregarding any face-down Spell/Traps they have in place.
  • However, Sphere Kuriboh can still be used to switch your Ancient Gear Engineer’s position so do take note on that.
  • Always remember, Ancient Gear archetypes have access to both Machine-type support cards and Ancient Gear support cards, so you can build your deck with the best support cards among them.
  • Take note that due to Ancient Gear Engineer’s immunity towards trap effects, you will not be able to use Metalmorph or Rare Metalmorph on it.

Trap Immunity

These are among the most prominent trap cards in current meta to disable opponent’s strong monsters upon summoning and it will not work against Ancient Gear Engineer upon its summoning.

Suppression during Battle Phase

These are among the most prominent Spell/Trap cards in current meta that are triggered during Battle Phase, to protect monsters on the field and it will be suppressed by Ancient Gear Engineer during its battle phase.

Speed summon methods

  • You can use Treeborn Frog as a tribute for Ancient Gear Engineer.
  • Using Mausoleum of the Emperor, you can pay 1000 LP to Normal summon Ancient Gear Engineer.
  • Using Soul Exchange, you can tribute 1 opponent’s monster as a tribute to summon Ancient Gear Engineer, but it cannot attack that turn.
  • You can substitute Ancient Gear Castle with 1 Counter to Normal summon Ancient Gear Engineer.
  • You can use Cost Down to summon Ancient Gear Engineer without tributes, but you need to discard 1 card as a cost.

Machine Support

This is the recommended support card for Ancient Gear Engineer. Reason being not only this card boosts it’s attack by 400 every turn, it also grants Ancient Gear Engineer the ability to negate monster effects that it destroys, effectively making it heavily immune to Spell/Trap/Monster Effects during the Battle Phase. And as a bonus, the 400 attack increase will continue every turn, even after this card is removed from the field. However, do take note that monsters’ effects are still able to be activated from the graveyard.

Ancient Gear support

  • These are the useful support cards that can assist Ancient Gear Engineer even further.

Good with Giant Rat. However, since Giant Rat doesn't exist, use Ancient Gear Beast instead of this card.

Giant Rat exists and it also searches Pathfinder which searches Geartown. Engineer's target trap immunity makes him continue to be one of my ace cards.

Engineer sucks today. Was ok before 2 years but now is crap. It has pathetic stats and only offers a m/t destruction if it succesfully attacked AND survived. Giant rat and pathfinder are also TERRIBLE cards in ancient gear decks. Too slow and with 0 quarantee that their effects will resolve. Competitive Ancient gear decks are P2W decks since all you need are 3 ancient gear stcucture decks.

Use UFOroid's effect to special summon this card so you don't need to tribute summon it.

This guy has always been my ace card since release and still is. The amount of idiots constantly trying to target it with traps, since Massivemorph through Canadia craze and even today where so many degens start with TTH in opening hand, is always enormous. This guy screws over 🔥 stall/burn decks really hard. Needing 1 release only makes him better against them since they just keep setting monsters, but also because his summon can release Lava Golem.

Why the hell should they waste their traps on a pathetic 1500 ATK monster?

It’s not pathetic. It destroys them and they still try to use their traps on it but it fails.

Combine this with Gravity Blaster and you'll get field dominance really fast.

I summoned this card and my opponent was able to activate Floodgate Trap Hole. Not sure if this is a glitch or if this is how it's intended to work but unless Konami addressed this I would suggest don't summon unless you're sure your opponent doesn't have it set.

Floodgate doesnt target so it can still work against this card (similar to Mirror Wall as it doesnt target as well). Engineer only negates trap effects that targets him.

Not really. AG monsters suppress spell/traps only when they attack, if ur other monsters attack, they still can trigger spell/traps during battle phase. So mirage dragon still has value.
