How does this deck require skill? If you are attacked you win. If they summon a monster,you win. People running 3 floodgate,3 econ,and 2 mirror wall calling themselves KOG,lol. Get KOG without locking down everything your opponent does and you are truly a good duelist.
If Ancient Gear monsters are giving you trouble, try the following:
- Acid Rain;
- Enemy Controller helps you both manage their treats and take control of their boss monster to turn it against them;
- Twister can be used to destroy the free Ancient Gear Castle, which really slows down the whole deck;
- I think there's a tech card that takes control of a Machine monster but I forgot its name.
