Lego Adamancipators focuses on the Board Building and recursion potential of Earth Monsters, using Block Golem and all Earth Main Deck monsters (besides Nibiru, but that's a hand-trap anyway) to create card advantage through the Excavation mechanic.
Alongside the obvious triple copies of each Adamancipator Tuner, I use half the GoGoGo engine, Gigas and Dwarf, for their natural ability to recur themselves from the grave when combined, coupled with their rank 4 status to not only make a Gallant Granite, but also pitch to Doki Doki to cheat Analyzer from the Deck. They can also be used to make Abyss Dweller, which can come in very handly against certain decks such as Eldlich.
I use two Block Dragon, because it's a strong card to open with, possibly getting all 3 Tuners from the deck (though most often, grabbing Seeker and Researcher, plus a Gigantes to extend), and running two takes into account a Called By or DD Crow, allowing a possible Union Carrier or Gallant to fetch the second if it fails.
Another staple, Gigantes is just a very good card for extending, or getting a second level 4 to make Gallant Granite and begin my plays, but it's also a brick on Excavation, so I only run 2.
2 Koa'ki Meiru Guardians allow for an early protection from Nibiru, if they're excavated. I'm playing around with running 3, but deck space is relatively tight, given how important it is to open with a Tuner.
Block Golem, my own little pet tech and one of the focuses of the deck, turns an excavation from a +1 into a +2, which is absolutely incredible, turns Adamancipator Signs into a "bring back 2 monsters from your grave", and matches the Tuners for a +1 when cheated out by Doki Doki: even better, if both Gigas and Dwarf are in the grave, by resurrecting only one of them and another monster, the other can also be brought out by it's effect, becoming a +3, so I run 3, to maximize the chance of excavating it. The card does come with a caveat, however: in order to use Block Golem's effect, all monsters in the grave MUST be Earth Attribute. Because of this, zone placement becomes important, as I don't want to send any of my Link Monsters to the grave until I'm ready to commit to my final board, or have enough resources that Block Golem is no longer needed. With the current build, that isn't a terribly difficult thing to pull off, but it's something I always need to keep in mind while starting a combo.
Barrier Statue of the Drought is part of an interesting combo, which can not only be excavated, but also be searched at the end on a combo by resurrecting an unused Tuner with Signs (usually a Researcher or Seeker that Halqifibrax brought out, and couldn't activate). The best example of this is a line of play I shoot for when I've opened an Adamancipator Signs, Researcher, and one other rock monster (Seeker also works here, if you open a Doki Doki along with it to bring Analyzer out.) At minimum, by starting with the Rock Monster, then specialing Researcher, so long as I hit the excavation, I'll have 3 rock monsters on the field. I can link Researcher and one of them off to create Halqifibrax, summoning Seeker from the deck (or Researcher, if Seeker was first), then link Seeker and the normaled monster into I:P, and link those two into Mekk Knight Crusadia Avramax, who now cannot be destroyed by card effects because it was link summoned with I:P Masquerena. Finally, I use Signs to bring back Seeker (or Researcher), putting Barrier on top, and excavate Barrier to the field. This line of play locks the opponent into only Special Summoning Earth Monsters, and they can't just normal summon and attack the barrier to lift that restriction, because Avramax protects it, and Avramax cannot be outed by any Kaiju except Kumonga (who is not normally played), so long as Barrier is on the field. This board can end on far more, as well, as that was considering the bare minimum of play: with skillful and careful play, one can viably create a board of Avramax, Block Dragon, Dragite/Savage (Dragite only if you think your opponent may have a Raigeki effect, so that your spell/trap negate is protected by Block Dragon), Barrier Statue of the Drought, and an Apollousa. Given, one or more of those may be missing, depending on excavations and the strength of the opening hand, but I've managed to assemble that board several times.
3 Cosmic Cyclone, because in the situation that I go second, I don't like scooping to Zombie World/Rivalry, Summon Limit, There Can Only Be One, etc.
Double Summon is another contentious tech, and one I haven't fully committed to as of yet. I only run two, at the moment, because I never want to see two of them, and many times, the card will not be needed: however, when I do open it, it can be a life saver after my opponent stops my starter, and can also unbrick hands that completely lack a Doki Doki or Tuner, because most of those hands are mostly level 4 Rocks, which I can summon two of the make a Gallant Granite, search Block Dragon, then banish two in my hand and the one that was dumped into the grave for Granite to summon Block Dragon. Then, I link the two off for I:P, grabbing Researcher, Seeker, and any level 4 I'm fine with banishing in order to bring Block Dragon back out, banishing Gallant, its other material, and the level 4 in my hand, so that Researcher can special herself, followed by Seeker, because Researcher is out. Then, it's into the combo, with a hand that had effectively 0 combo pieces.
Yes, I will still effectively lose to Dark Ruler No More, but that's just how Adamancipator is.
Finally, just getting into a small bit of math, the deck runs 15 excavation targets. Given that 12 of those cards- all of them except Doki Doki- are suboptimal to open with, it's a decent ratio, at a soft 30% of the deck, probability putting it at 1.5, or 1-2 cards average per opening hand. Meanwhile, using that number, after taking 5 cards for the opening hand, there'll be a roughly 38.6% chance to excavate one of those monsters on my first excavation (13.5/35), running roughly 1.93 excavatable monsters per excavation, a very balanced ratio that, most times, will allow me a choice between two of them. So far, this ratio has kept my hands and excavations relatively consistent, but it's still an ongoing process to perfect it.
