"[Responding to January restrictions] Pure Gem-Knight FTK" Deck 2018

Playing

[Gem-Knight] is equipped with a combo that allows you to kill first with two cards in your hand.
Until now, the first kill using Summon Sorceress was famous, but in the limit regulation of October 2018, Summon Sorceress was designated as a prohibited card. Furthermore, in the limit regulation in January 2019, 《Dandylion》and 《Knightmare Goblin》are prohibited cards, and 《Mathematician》is designated as a restricted card. It was thought that this would make Gem-Knight's first kill harder.
However, in fact, [Gem-Knight]'s first-hit 1-kill combo still exists even if 《Summon Sorceress》, 《Dandylion》and 《Knightmare Goblin》are banned cards. Moreover, just like in its heyday when there was Summon Sorceress, you can get one kill first with Brilliant Fusion + a Gem-Knight monster.
Take a look at his Gem-Knight FTK, which has returned with a new route.

Strength

[Card explanation]
The following three cards have become new companions for the first kill this time.
《Gem-Knight Amber》
If it is treated as an Effect Monster, you can salvage the banished monster by sending the "Gem-Knight" card from your hand to his GY. This will allow you to have two copies of Gem-Knight Obsidian in your hand again. It's a Gemini Monster, but if you use the summoning power increased by the effect of "Gem-Knight Seraphinite", you can summon him again to treat him as an Effect Monster.
《Darkness Metal, the Dragon of Dark Steel》
His Link Monster, the successor to 《Summon Sorceress》. He can Special Summon GY or banished monsters unconditionally. By using this effect, it is possible to collect 《Gagaga Cowboy》Xyz materials while increasing 《Gem-Knight Lady Lapis Lazuli》Burn Damage. You need monsters of the same attribute and type to use them as link materials, but 《Gem-Knight Phantom Quartz》, 《Gem-Knight Lady Lapis Lazuli》and 《Block Dragon》are all EARTH Rock, so you can use them as link materials.
《Gagaga Cowboy》
The final decisive factor for the first kill. He's an Xyz Monster with a guaranteed 800 burn damage effect. The conditions for Xyz Summoning are also loose, and it is possible to Xyz Summon with 《Gem-Knight Amber》and a Level 4 “Gem-Knight” monster. Another main character who realizes the first kill this time.

Weakness

As the fate of the first kill, it still has the drawback of being vulnerable to hand triggers. As such, his deck includes the following anti-hand triggers:
《Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring》
《Called by the Grave》
《Magical Mid-Breaker Field》
《Instant Fusion》＋《Millennium-Eyes Restrict》
However, when using 《Left Arm Offering》, you need to have 3 cards in your hand to activate it, so you can only prevent the hand trigger once, so be careful.
Also, if you have two of the following cards in your hand, you cannot combo, so be careful.
《Block Dragon》
《Crystal Rose》
In addition, even if you have two 《Left Arm Offering》& 《Gem-Knight Fusion》in your hand, it will be impossible to combo, so be careful.
