Adamancipator

Card text

1. If this card is in your hand: You can place 1 other "Adamancipator" card from your hand on top of the Deck; Special Summon this card.
2. During your Main Phase: You can excavate the top 5 cards of your Deck, and if you do, you can Special Summon 1 excavated Level 4 or lower Rock monster, also place the rest on the bottom of your Deck in any order.

You can only use each effect of "Adamancipator Conductor" once per turn.

Starter and deck stacker. To Special Summon it, you put another Adamancipator card on top of the Deck. If that card is a valid target (usually Crystal - Tiamite), Conductor's own excavation is guaranteed to hit. Analyzer, Researcher and Seeker can only Special Summon non-Tuners from an excavation, but Conductor has no such restriction. As a Level 6 Tuner, it reaches Level 10 with any Level 4 in a single Synchro Summon.

Card text

1. If this card is Special Summoned by the effect of an "Adamancipator" card: You can add 1 "Adamancipator" card from your Deck to your hand, except "Adamancipator Crystal - Tiamite", then you can Special Summon 1 Rock monster from your hand.
2. If this card is in your GY: You can target 1 Rock Synchro Monster in your field or GY; return it to the Extra Deck, and if you do, place this card on top of the Deck.

You can only use each effect of "Adamancipator Crystal - Tiamite" once per turn.

Engine driver. When an Adamancipator effect Special Summons it, it searches another Adamancipator card and can then Special Summon a Rock monster from your hand. It is also a DARK monster, and Risen - Tiamite's search needs a DARK monster in the GY. From the GY, it returns a used Rock Synchro to the Extra Deck and goes back on top of the Deck as the next excavation's target.

1. If you have a DARK monster in your GY: You can add 1 "Adamancipator" Spell/Trap from your Deck to your hand.
2. When your opponent activates a monster effect on the field (Quick Effect): You can excavate the top 5 cards of your Deck, and if you do, you can return cards your opponent controls to the hand, up to the number of excavated Rock monsters, also place the excavated cards on the bottom of your Deck in any order.

You can only use each effect of "Adamancipator Risen - Tiamite" once per turn.

Boss and toolbox. Conductor plus any Level 4 makes it in one Synchro Summon. With a DARK monster in your GY, it searches an Adamancipator Spell/Trap, usually Adamancipator Resonance. On your opponent's turn, when they activate a monster effect on the field, it can return their cards to the hand without targeting: one card for each Rock monster it excavates.

Card text

1. If this card is Link Summoned, or a monster(s) is Special Summoned to a zone(s) this card points to: You can target 1 monster in your field or GY that has a Level; Special Summon 1 "Glimmer Token" (Rock/LIGHT/ATK 0/DEF 0) with the same Level.
2. When another monster on the field activates its effect (Quick Effect): You can place it on top of the Deck.

You can only use each effect of "Adamancipator Luminous" once per turn.

Level matching and spin disruption. Luminous turns a spent Synchro into more material. Its Glimmer Token copies the Level of any monster on your field or in your GY, so you can hit exact Synchro or Xyz Levels. Its Quick Effect puts a monster that activates its effect on the field back on top of the Deck without targeting it. Extra Deck monsters go back to the Extra Deck.

Card text

1. Add 1 "Adamancipator" monster from your Deck to your hand.
2. If this card is in your GY: You can place 1 card from your hand on top of the Deck; add this card to your hand.

You can only use each effect of "Adamancipator Mates" once per turn.

A searcher that comes back. It is the archetype's version of Reinforcement of the Army: it adds any Adamancipator monster, including Conductor or Crystal - Tiamite. Later, its GY effect puts a card from your hand on top of the Deck and returns Mates to your hand. If that card is a Rock monster you couldn't use, it becomes a guaranteed excavation hit.
