Geargia/Karakuri OTK

In theory, you can pull the OTK off with just 1 Pachi + 1 Dog (+ Birdman)

Armor -> Accel -> Birdman (on accel) -> resummon accel -> Burei -> Dog -> Bureido -> Pachi -> normal summon any lvl 4 -> Burei
2600 + 2600 + 2800 = 8000 

That's why most incarnations of this deck don't actually run more than 1 of each of those tuners, and often they tend to run E-tele + Commander to replace birdman, since he's limited.


The other thing that OTK-centric decks tend to do is run very little legitimate backrow. Usually it's Reckless Greed + Decree + maybe some floodgates here and there. And their spells are usually just S/T destruction, recursion and draw/search power. 
They also don't like to run monsters that prevent them from Special Summoning (cardcar) or having their Battle Phase (Auger). Yes they're perfect for first turn hands... but they're dead every turn after that. They often tend to replace these cards with different kinds of floaters (like Giant Rat or Fire/Ice Hands), or Hand Traps (like Maxx C and Ghost Ogre).




However, that's just from personal experience of watching players tinker with the deck for the last few months (since I do know people who have been trying to perfect Geargia to be their main). But, for me, I prefer simply running Mono-Gears, because they can run a mass amount of backrow and not be hindered by speed.
So I can't give you much advice other than what I've seen my friends do, which I've already described above.

I like the way you think. I guess the deck I put up is not all about the OTK. Can lock decks with additions from the side deck and can also stall. Needs to have abit of balance to increase the win ratio. I've made many changes to this deck from what I initially had.

Well, mono-Gears can OTK on their own, but I don't know if you have enough room to hold that core--so that you can have a second option with exploding on your opponent. But, even then, you could just simply switch it to mono-Gear. I'll give you a Monster and S/T core that could combine Gears with Kuri (though it'll be partial to Gears, since I'm reading off my own decklist)

The Monster Core:
3 Armor (duh)
3 Accel (duh)
2-3 Arsenal (mono runs 3, so you have more chance of starting off with a set Armor)
0/1/2/3 Auger (With this build, it's probably best to run either 0 or 1. 2 would be a stretch, and 3 would be dead)
2/3 MK One (This is arguably the best MK, considering his effect has no big restrictions to activation. He just needs to be on the field.)
1/2 MK Two (1 would be best in this deck, though you could get away with 2, considering this card + Birdman can help recycle your normal summons and somewhat upkeep resources from the grave. You could argue that 3 is also fine with this card, but I believe that to be preference. It could help you, it could not.)
0/1 MK Three (Even mono-Gears don't run more than 1, because this card is used to help spam out from the use of 1 trap card--Geargiagear. During opponent's EP, you activate Geargiagear, summon this guy + whatever, and then use his effect to revive a Geargia from the grave.)
1 Pachi + 1 Dog (I've explained this before. You only need 1 of each to pull off the OTK. 2 Pachi could be fine, considering you could loop Armor with it, but Dog shouldn't be more than 1 considering he is your weakest normal summon.)
1 Birdman (duh)

3 Gigant (The rota of the deck should be at 3 no? It is in mono, so I don't see no reason to find a way to run 3 here)

Monster Possibilities:
Ghost Ogre - It's a lvl 3 tuner (and psychic, so an E-Tele target), but she is also like a pseudo-Veiler, with the added perk of being able to pop Pendulum monsters when they start their effects in those zones.
Maxx "C" - Draw power is important.

S/T Core:
3 Geargiagear (This is really only there for when you're running 4+ MK monsters. It's helpful for thinning the deck, and putting out 2 lvl4 monsters on the field. 3, if you decide to run MK Three.)
The Hoban Package (Upstarts and Reckless Greeds add draw, and stuff. Draw Theory go here.)
Heavy Storm + Harpie's Feather Duster (duh)

I like the psychic and E-Tele addition, may try that even if it is in the side deck.
I still thing pachi and dog should be at two. If you have one, your at risk of drawing it which will make the OTK difficult.

Drawing Pachi doesn't really hinder not having the OTK, as it can combo off Armor and get you a double search. However, drawing Dog does hinder having the OTK, no matter what number he's run at. He's an incredibly weak Normal Summon.
Him being Normal Summoned is literally just you saying "I want to synch 8 rite now." Also, since you run the Machine Reborn..thing.. Running 1 of each also isn't much of a threat to draw, since you can just bring them back.


Drawing both in the same hand (though improbable) could spell out defeat for that game.

remember you will always need two of them in the deck to complete the OTK so if you have one in hand that leaves one in the deck. Ideally you want 3 in deck so you get a special summon for each synchro summon
