A deck that mixes a rock archetype and an archetype that should be a rock archetype but isn't. Combined, they make a strategy that really *rocks* (please don't complain about that in the comments).
This deck is designed to solve one main problem I have with Adamancipators, in that I always struggle to start the combo. I've found that anything that can XYZ summon Gallant Granite will set up a strong combo and endboard. The problem is getting to that. Previously, I've used the Ishizu cards and Tearlaments Schieren to get the two level four monsters needed, but that was costly to card advantage (not to mention the banlist).
However, Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus can easily set up an XYZ summon, and the combo won't lock you out of your rock monsters (unless I'm misunderstanding something - please correct me if I'm wrong). All you need is either Rainbow Bridge, Crystal Bond, or Sapphire Pegasus.
1: Use Rainbow Bridge to search for Crystal Bond
2: Use Crystal Bond to add Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus to your hand, and to place Crystal Beast Cobalt Eagle into your Spell/Trap Zone
3: Normal summon Sapphire Pegasus, and activate its effect to place Crystal Beast Rainbow Dragon into your Spell/Trap Zone
4: Activate Crystal Beast Rainbow Dragon's effect, banishing it to special summon another Sapphire Pegasus from your deck while adding Rainbow Dragon to your hand
5: Overlay the two copies of Sapphire Pegasus in your monster zones to special summon Gallant Granite to an extra monster zone (placing it here gives you more room to summon cards with your tuner monsters. If you are able to link summon, then Granite's a good choice to use as material after you've used its effect anyways)
6: Detatch a material from Granite to add Adamancipator Researcher from your deck to your hand
7: Since you have a rock monster on the field now, you can special summon Researcher and activate its effect to try and summon a non-tuner rock monster.
From here, you can continue to summon using your Adamancipator cards. I generally aim to summon Adamancipator Risen - Dragite, Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess (with four negates), and Abyss Dweller for my endboard. This gives you plenty of negates to stop your opponent's combo, and you'll have plenty of attack power to finish them off the next turn. You can get pretty far off of just one copy of Rainbow Bridge, so if you have a third copy of either that or Crystal Bond then I would recomend adding those to your deck (the only reason I'm not doing that is because when I only have two of each. I'm trying to get third copies right now since I do play a lot of Crystal Beasts in general).
The side deck's just loaded with handtraps in case you need to side them in. Don't mind Swordsoul Supreme Sovereign - Chengying... That's just to mess around with decks focused on banishing cards.
I know that it's an unconventional deck, it's been working well for me so far. Let me know if you have suggestions to improve this. Thanks!
