@@fubukisses Even worse if it’s a 60 card deck. But you’d be surprised how easy you can draw a card like that if it’s multiple of it. I mean why wouldn’t you want at least two copies of Limiter Removal?
Both right, actually! When Ancient Gears were first released, they played like a slower control deck, utilizing cards like Sergeant Electro, Pulse Mines and Rare Metalmorph. Ancient Gear Golem was used in it, but the true aces were Ancient Gear Beast and Ancient Gear Knight. And then, a few years later, long after the original variant fell out of favor, the structure deck pushed a new variant of Ancient Gear into the meta. This time, they utilized Geartown and Ancient Gear Fortress, combined with destruction effects like Galaxy Cyclone, Double Cyclone and Breaker, the Magical Warrior in order to quickly destroy their own field and continuous spells. This allowed them to turbo out the newly released Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon, whose effect could pop Geartown or Ancient Gear Fortress to summon more Reactor Dragons. The first variant was control, the second was aggressive OTK, so Crowler's deck here obviously resembles the latter the most. Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem never saw play in either deck though.
the ancient gear structure deck released a good 2 or 3 years ago. but the structure deck was so powerful, that it shot the deck to tier 1 status, and overun the ranked online ladder. sadly, it sees no competitive play at all now. everyone just plays decks using the Harpies synchro monster

Just the fact he stood up to her in defense of the students (some of whom he had a clear disdain for) shows that he was no slouch. Mad respect for Dr. Crowler.
If Crowler drew this opening hand all the time, he’d possibly be the most powerful duelist in the show. Especially since this was before hand traps were as prevalent as they are today.
This actually reminds me of when I was playing against an Ocrust player and after like 20 mins of him setting up his board of absurd interuptions, I just dropped Ancient Gear Fortress for the protection then dropped a Power Bond to summon Ultimate Golem and crash into his 0 Def token for game. Fun times.
This should’ve been how it happened, just to undercut how shit and pointless all of the SR’s were. Same with bastions duel, then have amnael annihilate everyone but jaden.
Imagine if Amnael's games where all just "Cursed Seal of The Forbinned Spell" or "Macro Cosmos" to ban or banish Power Bond, Polymerization. or D.D. Crow.
Jaden beating all the shadow riders is just boring writing Hence why season 1 seemed like it could’ve ended the series there Jaden has no development so the writer had to deconstruct his character in seasons 2-4 The manga did a much better job with Jaden’s character
My biggest dislike of gx s1 was how Jaden was pretty much the only duelist doing anything right. I think at the very least, Kronos/crowler should've had a better duel, and if he still lost, Zane should've won.
Legacy of the Duelist has a reverse duel thing like that. There were a few duels across the six shows I’d seen where the result left me sad. Give Sawatari and Aoi Zaizen their much deserved revenge.

ngl ancients gears even for that era were good and i still consider them proper decks, crowler could have literly whooped her ass a long time ago if he actually invested in his deck more but as a teacher he still needs to be beatebel by students, so we all know he truly had to nerf his deck in the end because of the principal was crying that he couldn't beat his real ancient gear deck.

Vampire Lady: I activate [Counter card]. Crowler: What gives?! Vampire Lady: My bats have been spying on your hand. The gang each episode later: I completely forgot she can spy through her bats…
No joke, at the beginning of my duelist-"career" every friend of mine was scared I had that Combo directly to begin (yes, I played Ancient Gear at first) xD
This can be said for a lot of Duels in all of the anime shows Which is actually why I like the fan made crossover fuels since no one can use the “this character is better than that character” bs since a duels should depend on which cards they start off with
Ain't that yugioh in of itself tho? I'm pretty sure I would've won any game I went second if I opened with dark ruler, Evenly or other board breaker. The true skill comes in knowing how to manage your resources and do the best plays you can with what's available.
He would’ve won, or stood a chance, if he had used Heavy Storm before attacking her, or attacked Vampire Bat instead of Zombie Werewolf with Ancient Gear Beast.

This is how I imagine duels going if crowler used an realistic ancient gear deck most of the time.- Uses power bond to make ultimate ancient gear golem so it has 8800 atk then use limiter removal to double its attack to 17600 then ram it into there opponent.
I don't know why I was expecting power bond chaos giant but ulti agg otk is still satisfying.
Only Zane and Syrus have Power Bond no one else.
@@KingOfYamimakai Which is weird because that copycat duelist exists and he got the same cards as Crowler when he was copying him. He also said he copied Kaiba and Zane, when there are only supposed to be 4 Blue Eyes in the world with 1 ripped up and Zane's Cyber Dragons were rare cards from a special temple, but the kid managed to get copies of those. I'm pretty sure Power Bond can be obtained by anyone, especially when Syrus has one.
Chaos Giant didn't exist yet, like most of the good Ancient Gear support, it wasn't made until ARC V.
@@heartless2147 Counterfeit exists.
@@heartless2147 To be fair, Dimitri could’ve been copying their decks as much as possible just without cards like the Blue Eyes White Dragon and Cyber Dragons.
Crowler's hand was so powerful, he didn't even need to draw a card
"And that , kids, is how I activated rainbow life before she declared an attack."
Never underestimate a GX machine based deck they can F*** your s*** up out of nowhere.
So while I've never watched Arc-V... if my Duel Links deck is anything to go by, it's the Superheavy Samurai that you need to watch out for.
@@BYERE yesssss!!!
and there is other deck's you need to watch out for like red-eyes!!
@@BYERE Wow good to know Superheavys are good in Duel Links, the character that plays then in the anime is pretty cool, but sadly they were a bit underwelming in the TCG at the time they got released... Synchroing your opponent's Crystal Wing with Battleball into a Susanowo was pretty funny tho LMAO
@@vincentd.gaspard4725 Those damned Cyber Dragon decks, since they introduced those new support cards into the game recently... Bloody hate them xD
That honestly would have been dope as hell, ultimate flex
ngl ancients gears even for that era were good and i still consider them proper decks, crowler could have literly whooped her ass a long time ago if he actually invested in his deck more but as a teacher he still needs to be beatebel by students, so we all know he truly had to nerf his deck in the end because of the principal was crying that he couldn't beat his real ancient gear deck.
can you suggest me a deck to build for yuigoh master duel i really want to try an ancient gear deck
@@kratosorokai1546 most ancient gears are Ultra rare so yeah but my preferred deck is
3 golems and 3 pounds
3 reactor dragons
Catapult
Castle, mst
hound
Wyvern
Limiter removal, powerbond and General fusions
Fortress and geartown
Cards like catapult synergies well with fortress or gear town as if you active catapult you can destroy a town to get yourself 2 huge monsters get wyvern on the field for a fusion card and then try to get a Chaos Golem as fusion card
The other ancient gear fusions are also good card and just in general its very fun if done right
"Catchphrase, bitch"
I laughed so hard at that.
Vampire Lady: I activate [Counter card].
Crowler: What gives?!
Vampire Lady: My bats have been spying on your hand.
The gang each episode later: I completely forgot she can spy through her bats…
Crowler: even if you spied you forgot my Golem is immune to your bs
Love that *smugness intensifies* frame.
Imagine bricking in Ancient Gear Golem Deck na no ne
If you manage that im gonna be impressef
First turn topdecking is the way to go.
No joke, at the beginning of my duelist-"career" every friend of mine was scared I had that Combo directly to begin (yes, I played Ancient Gear at first) xD
I don't know about you guys but this is exactly how I remember it...
That split second where you read the bottom text: You've got to be fucking kidding me!
Crowler:I HAVE A PHD IN DUELING!!!
*frantically presses all buttons to screenshot the last frame*
Thank you for submitting the Director's Cut!
Well appreciated
Gotta love Fusion and Limiter Removal for that sweet overkill
I laughed way harder than i should have at this
Crowler: I summon… *hip thrusts with each next word said* ANCIENT GEAR FRIGGING GOLEM!
This wasn’t a duel, it was an execution.
That can be said about pretty much every single duel between competent players
This can be said for a lot of Duels in all of the anime shows
Which is actually why I like the fan made crossover fuels since no one can use the “this character is better than that character” bs since a duels should depend on which cards they start off with
Ain't that yugioh in of itself tho? I'm pretty sure I would've won any game I went second if I opened with dark ruler, Evenly or other board breaker. The true skill comes in knowing how to manage your resources and do the best plays you can with what's available.
@@juksleo6257 Or you can just play like I have for years by throwing out random bullcrap and hope something works.
Open with Dark Ruler?
Alternate title: Crawler saved the day!
Na no ne!
:)
My laughter increased every single time he said "na-no-ne" best catchphrase ever
He would’ve won, or stood a chance, if he had used Heavy Storm before attacking her, or attacked Vampire Bat instead of Zombie Werewolf with Ancient Gear Beast.
She also cheated and had WAY more than 3 copies of that bat
Legend said that Crowler know what pot of greed do
Atleast for her, she doesn't die in this scenario.
Imagine Crowler working on his PhD in dueling where he have to write a 200 page dissertation about a childrens card game and defending his papers infront of panel of esteemed judges.
The poly killed me
That requires Zane esque luck of drawing 3 Cyber Dragons, Polymerization and Defusion on his first turn.
"catchphrase bitch" fucking killed me lmao
Lowkey one of the best duels in terms of character
I’ve actually seen this in real life, during one of “Casual cooper’s” CPU tournaments. Crowler got a 3 turn victory against Blair and her lightsworns
Okay but here's the best part, if this is how it works out then vampire ladies doesn't die so she could become the Vegeta of the group
When he said “Na No Ne!” I felt that
This Arc was when I started to like his character
Remember kids duels of darkness can't be allowed to exist
Based
The stakes should be to put your opponent inside a card instead.
"Catchphrase, bitch" is the most random thing ever, but I loved it.
Camula: Its okay, i have a Mirror Force face down.
Crowler: I also MST your face down.
Crowler: i have a PhD in dueling, your Mirror Force is invalid.
Crowler: ultimate golem’s special ability go brrrr
This was recommended to me, I’m all for this content. Take my sub 🔥🔥
I like Crowler. I would hang out with him.
Everybody all gangsta until the Teacher actually duels.
If the adults actually got to be good at this
as an ancient gear user myself
can confirm, if i get 3 ancient gear cards and a poly, ultimate is probably coming out
that or ultimate pound if i have the right set-up
I usually summon megaton golem first, since he summons ultimate golem if a card effect destroys him
@@megabladechronicles962 megaton is good, i just have a bad track record with my friend who plays a hero deck using the mole to send megaton back to the extra deck, so i normally go for power
@@alakazamlover4908 i go for Chaos just to curve stomp
@@jakoblent4694 Chaos is good, but personally i just go for whatever is viable
@@alakazamlover4908 true
Chaos Golem double is very viable
His deck can actual be a menace
I love ancient gears. I wish it had more support in the tcg like synchro and xyz. It would be insane. Maybe enough to push it into meta one day.
Dude seriously did deserve a few more wins in the series prissy as he may be.
Ancient Gear fusion on the first turn? Is he a Arc-V generic enemy?
Nah cronos is the og
I love Fusion Dimension!
All of my Arc-V favs played Poly.
Dr:I'm about to finish your career
If DR Crawler was the protagonist
i just love the ancient gear monsters
Imagine if Crowler had all the OTHER bells and whistles- Wyvern, Howitzer, Catapult, Ballista, Chaos Golem... he'd be stacking Duel Ghouls five feet high.
literally how my games went every game, watching opponent playing themselves for 10+ minutes
"I am supposed to play the game, but limiter removal keeps messing me up!"
I wish there were whole channels that made memes of this caliber.
I do recommend Lonely's archives's YGO stuff.
@@stefanwoad9409 Wow thanks for the reply I'll deffo check it out!
Also this video is just brilliant, specifically the detail that kills me is how Crowler just skips all turn phases and goes straight to "YUUGO!", it kills me every time.
I was fully expecting exodia ngl
Idk why I was expecting him to just pull up with exodia but thus was a nice surprise
what would have been even funnier is if he had power bond instead of poly, so Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem would have 17600 Atk
I want her in Duel Links so bad.
When in doubt, Na No Ne.
And Crowley walks away with a brand new, ahem, “secretary”.
"Catchphrase,bitch"
Had me laughing nonstop for about a minute 😂
How it felt to duel against Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon in Duel Links when he first dropped. Man that was a terrible time.
This would've been better for Camula too. She wouldn't have lost her soul.
