Generate

Generate is the act of putting a Cross Gear from your hand into the battle zone.

Details
To generate a Cross Gear, you pay its cost and put it into the battle zone. It usually has no abilities in the battle zone until it has been attached to a creature.

The regular steps of generating a creature are as follows:
 * 1) Choose the cross gear you want to generate.
 * 2) Pay any additional costs that may need to be pad.
 * 3) If there is any Cost Reduction or Cost Increase, apply them.
 * 4) Pay the total cost of the cross gear.
 * 5) Put the cross gear into the battle zone.

If you put a creature in the battle zone with a "Samurai Generation" ability, you may generate a cross gear from your hand for no cost. This ability is often featured on creatures that have the Samurai race.

After it is broken as a shield, Cross Gears with the Shield Trigger Cross ability can be generated into the battle zone and crossed onto a creature for no cost.

To attach it to a creature, it needs to have its cost paid again to be crossed.
