Alright, we're back baby. So back in September of 2012, we saw the banning of Future Fusion. Although it was only 1 card, I felt that our consistency took a huge hit because it was our only means of reliably moving lots of monster cards out of our Main Deck. Fast forward to 2015, and now we have three our of own archetype exclusive Future Fusions, called Brilliant Fusion. Thanks Konami! Because of this one card (along with numerous past support), Gem-Knights are probably at its most consistent state ever.
Let us not forget about Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond. For those who are unfamiliar, she is a huge 10-star fusion monster (3400 ATK!) who is able to bring out any Gem-Knight fusion monster from the Extra Deck, ignoring its Summoning Conditions, at the cost of one Gem-Knight you control (including herself). She introduces an unprecedented amount of flexibility to the deck and allows the use of previously unused fusions.
Now let's talk about this build that I'm currently using. It's turbo in nature, running max copies of all consistency cards, combo cards, and Upstart Goblin. This ensures that I have all the cards I need to end the duel quickly, normally by turns 2 or 3. Triple Gorz is there for when I don't have plays and am otherwise defenseless due to no Traps, also if I want to play cautiously. Then double Danko Swagga to ensure my plays are able to go through when I'm staring at a bunch of back row (because a chained MST or PWWB to Brilliant Fusion hurts a lot). Lastly, Gem-Knight Amethyst is one of the newest addition to the Extra Deck and helps get rid of "blowout" cards (ie. Mirror Force) that have been gaining popularity due to Nekroz.
