Deck Spotlight: Stride! To the Perfect Future! (Demiurge)

While looking through the nets I found that a lot of people were at a loss with the way you should be playing Demiurge, so as the Gear Chronicle main that I am I decided to post my personal list.

God from the Machine

Note: This build is Post-Divine Dragon Caper(of which the set review will come soon), but the majority of the DDC stuff can be subbed in with other ZTBs. They serve the same purpose in this deck anyways.

... Well that's the longest decklist I've ever made.

Dat's a lotta faces bud

The deck's pretty straightforward, with the objective being to get out Demiurge ASAP. I use the Idea-drone engine, which I believe is the most efficient way of getting Demiurge out at the moment. Tiger builds will probably be better in the future, but as of now this is the best way.

First off, Zodiac Time Beasts. 1 copy of each one that's been released as of now, with the exception of Triggers. Makes this much, much more consistent and easier to pull off, essentially making Demiurge a 12 ZTB in bind rather than 12 different ZTB in bind.

Now about the Idea-drone Engine. Chanomai binds 2 every use, Prospatheia binds 2 every turn, and Kaigomai binds 1 when you use his skill. According to this, the process of hitting a Demiurge should take around... 3-4 turns or so if you play it right. Anarchaia's the hidden MVP of this deck, putting back all your needed Chanomais and Kaigomais and even helping to speed up your binding for Demiurge. Good stuff. If you don't have money for a full set of Prospatheias, you can sub out a copy or two for Ergasa Idea-drones.

G-Zone's... really awkward. Since the best G-Zone cards are all catered for Tiger/Jet you're stuck with a bunch of semi-bad stuff.

First, Ergos and Altered both speed up Demiurge Binds. Altered is best, but is currently only JPN so we're dealing with only Ergos right now(this is enough for now, since he'll probably go off early game). Huang-long's just here as a more aggressive option/plussing stride that can get out any excess ZTB or Idea-drones in your bind. Uluru is Uluru and Rahpbanna has some pretty crazy synergy with the deck. She tutors out all of your G0 ZTBs for binding with Prospatheia, as well as Anarchaia(Who is MVP). Rahpbanna's the second unsung hero in this deck. You could test out Pandora Chimera if you want, I guess.
                                                                                             

Effectiveness: 4.5/10

Price: $40-45

Competitive: No

Final Words: It's Demiurge. I hope you didn't expect competitive. Way to inconsistent. But! This can do quite well for elite-casual if you can master this or can add the very-much-expensive Melem-History Maker engine. Melem, especially, pulls weight in this deck by tutoring G0s and is really good for the same reasons as Rahpbanna and History Maker's just a solid card.

If you just wanna have some fun and something different in Gears, I highly recommend giving this a go, even if it isn't competitive!

Anyhow, see you in the next one!
