The deck functions basically in the same manner as the previous Karakuri Geargia build, the only main additional difference is that you gain Machinas into the mix, allowing you to get the best of both worlds. You gain the combo side of the deck with Geargia and Karakuri, compiled with the stability of Machinas. And of course adding in Gearframe tutor together with Armor makes this deck very tutor friendly.

Some cards are now put in as tech selections, such as Birdman, since the deck does not run purely on getting the Geargia Karakuri combo off anymore, but instead allowing you to reuse your Gearframe even if the right situation is in.

Gearframe of course also provides a much more solid choice of search for Gigant X, making it even more advantageous. Previously Gigant X's job was purely for bringing out combo pieces, which is not as useful, especially if your opponent has something you cannot get over on the field. However, with Gearframe, you can simply bring out Fortress the next turn. For an interesting side deck option against OTK decks such as Chaos Dragons, Heirogylphs or Inzektors, consider tutoring for Swift Iron Scarecrow instead. Even if it does not turn out useful, you can discard it as the cost for a Fortress summon.

In all, this version pretty much adds stability into the mix while providing some additional options so I like this version. I will try and improve on the deck in the future. For now, my next tackle will be back to an old theme with a new mix, Scraps! With quick deck cycling and constant abuse of Chimeras with Beast, bringing out a constant stream of strong rank 4 monsters such as Verz Ouroboros and Shock Ruler. Might have that closer towards end of the month so look out for that!
