All 8 " Geargia " monsters focus heavily on searching out each other , swarming the field in the process and Summoning Rank 3 and 4 Xyz Monsters , especially their ace cards , " Geargiagear Gigant XG " and " Gear Gigant X " . Each monster has a different effect to search out cards : " Geargiano " Special Summons any Level 4 Machine monster from the Graveyard by Tributing itself , meaning that the card can be good to support other archetypes ; " Geargiano Mk - II " can do the same as " Geargiano " , but only with " Geargia " monsters , however it can also Special Summon the monster from the hand ; " Geargiano Mk - III " do the same as " Geargiano Mk - II " , but only if it is Special Summoned by the effect of a " Geargia " card ; " Geargiarmor " search any " Geargia " from the Deck each time it is flipped face - up and is a solid wall with 1900 DEF ; " Geargiaccelerator " helps to swarm the field , as it can Special Summon itself from your hand and has the bonus effect of adding another Geargia from your Graveyard to your hand when it goes to the Graveyard ; " Geargiarsenal " can Tribute itself to Special Summon any " Geargia " from your Deck and also gains 200 ATK for each " Geargia " you control , even itself ; " Geargiattacker " destroys Spell / Trap Cards on the field , up to the number of " Geargia " monsters you control each time it is flipped face - up . " Geargiauger " can search any Level 4 EARTH Machine monster from the Deck , except itself , when it is Normal Summoned . But you cannot Special Summon monsters , except Machine monsters , nor declare an attack , for the rest of the turn you use this effect . One of the ace cards of the archetype , " Gear Gigant X " supports Machine monsters by allowing the player to add any Level 4 or lower Machine monster from the Deck or Graveyard to the hand . Its effect to Special Summon a Level 3 or lower " Geargia " from the Graveyard when it leaves the field allows the player to easily control the Graveyard . The other ace card " Geargiagear Gigant XG " negates the effects of all face - up cards your opponent currently controls , also your opponent cannot activate cards or effects during either player ' s Battle Step , while a Machine monster you control attacks or is attacked by detaching 1 Xyz Material . Its other effect to add 1 other " Geargia " card in your Graveyard to your hand when it leaves the field allows the player more Graveyard control .
