Gransoil the Spiritual Rock-Residing Lord

Sigh name is far to long on DN I like Shrieks translation better makes it sound more epic. Back to actual business I've reviewed this already for the Full Set Review but i'm going to review it in a Different Light without the bias of the set itself. This also won't have a Read More because it needs not one.

Gransoil the Spiritual Rock-Residing Lord
EARTH
Level 8
Beast-Warrior/Effect
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except when there are exactly 5 EARTH Monster in your Graveyard. When this card is successfully Special Summoned, you can select 1 Monster in either player's Graveyard and Special Summon it. If this card is removed from the field, you must skip your next turn's Battle Phase.
2800/2200

Alright I've been researching decks that can best abuse this card. First on the chopping block is Gem-Knights.

Gem-Knights can run Block Golem now giving them far more explosive options than before and they can quite easily control their graveyards size in the process of the duel without second thought. So my main way of dropping a quick T2 Gransoil is to Summon Armadillo to search Obsidian... And then Gem-Knight Fusion Obsidian and anything else for Zirconia or Rubys or Prism-Aura depending on your set-up. Rubys would tribute the Garnet that is summoned by Obsidian then you'd banish the Garnet (Unless you have another Obsidian (Which means you probably won) to regrab the Gemknight Fusion... then you can fuse Armadillo and any other Gemknight in hand for Zirconia. if you get to attack first then swing in for over 6000 damage. The next turn you can if you were able to keep more Rocks in grave utilize Block Golem to revive both and Fuse using the same Gem-Knight Fusion throwing a 4th or 5th Rock in grave depending on draws. You can then just simply Gransoil for game.

Simplifying this though and the correct way to set-up your hand would be to turn 1 Duality>Cardcar D... that way you have the extra cards in hand needed. If you were able to obtain Future Fusion you can do this far easier... Such as. Fusing any 2 Normal Gem-Knight with Gem-Knight Fusion... And then using Future Fusion to drop 2 Lazuli and a Garnet for Gemknight Master Dia. Grabbing two of the Normal Gem-Knights to hand. leaving you 4 EARTHs in grave (Card Car D, 2 Lazuli, 1 Garnet)... Banish the extra Lazuli for Gem-Knight Fusion leaving you with 3... Fuse the two again for w/e... leaving you with exactly 5... Gransoil for game like literally GG if you made Zirconia and Prism-Aura/Rubys yeah... 2900+2800+2450/2600+1900/Whatever your opponent has.

Another way I really like is Geargiakuri. Turn 1 you can just set Geargiarmor and Geargiaccel/MK-II/any Karakuri Tuner/Iron Call/Emergency Teleport be ready for GG... If your opponent actually runs into the Geargiarmor and it doesn't die...
 if you have MK-II
1. you would grab Accel
2. on your turn Flip and Re-Flip up Armor for another Accel
3. Special both Accel and Overlay both Accel for Geargiganto X detach for Ally Genex Birdman. Grave: (Accel)
4. Normal Summon MK-II grab Accel and bounce Geargiganto X for Birdman. Grave (Accel)
5.Birdman and Accel Sync for Burei who grabs Saizan Grave: (Accel, Accel)
6. Saizan syncs with MK-II for Burei who grabs Haipa (Accel, Saizan, Accel, MK-II)
7. Overlay Burei and Burei for Big-Eye... Take the opponents monster... (Accel,Saizan,Accel, MK-II,Burei)
8. Special Summon Gransoil to grab Burei from the grave
9. Swing in with 2100 + 2600 + 2800 + W/e their monster had if above 600 GG... If they had no monster then well dang how's they hit your Armor...

I won't describe the others really as you can sorta just see what would be the case.

This card essentially makes Tele-Geargiakuri very scary if you can manage to obtain one Gransoil in hand before doing your combo he can come out in the middle of it for game... BTW Dragons with Future Fusion using Gransoil also can OTK lol yugitroll. Future Fusion + Gransoil + Foolish Burial/Cardcar D... Turn 1 you'd Cardcar D... to draw a bunch... then if you have Future Fusion and Gransoil this is what'd happen the next turn...  Future Fusion to drop 4 EARTH Dragons and REDMD... Special Gransoil to grab the REDMD who'd then Special Summon Tiger Dragon 2800+2800+2400 = 8000 lol.

There are a ton of things that this card makes scary. I'd splash in 1-2 of these in Rock-Stun even just as a surprise aggression. Anyway that's my speal for the day.
