Nageta, (hopefully) a Usable Gemini Set

[Alpakha]

Nageta is a play on Naga, which is s snake person. Of course they have to be gemini, cuz they cool. I made these a while ago then entered them in an archetype competition and got 3rd. Anyway, here they are..... i'm so bad at intros

The whole focus of it is too swarm and lock. I feel like spearsman and some of the spell/traps are a little overpowered, but i'm still unsure. Please rate and reply. Edit: Release is slightly less versatile and got rid of the normal summoning of the monster, i didn't change it too much because it is still situational. Spearmans requires a discard now.

"Frost" - Perfect card, great pic, unique and useful effect, good stats, not OP but still awesome.
"Halo" - Effect isnt as cool as Frosts (although its a bit better) but again, good pic and overall awesome card without being OP.
"Pyre" - Instead of targeting and destroying a monster you control, you should tribute it, that way you cant activate cards (gain benefits) from a monster you control being destroyed. Other than that however I think its up there with "Frost" and "Halo"
"Skull" - Again, an awesome card like the previous however I think having 1100 DEF with the 1900 ATK is a bit high, not that 1100 is high or anything =p but level 4s I've seen with 1900 tend to have under 1000 DEF.

"Divinity" - Sweet card, very useful with the previous cards and can be deadly, however since it requires 3 level 4 gemini reptiles.... cards only in this set, I think it could actually be buffed up a bit, but nothing to serious. Maybe change its first effect so that the summoned "Nageta" is treated as a Gemini monster, and give it 200 more ATK? (oh, also it needs to have that black background cause its an XYZ =p)

"Avenger" - Does it need to say "During either players damage step" like Honest and others? I don't know just pointing out you dont have it lol. Anyways, I dont think this card should be banished, just sent to the Grave, that way your other cards can return it to the hand, and it should have 1000 ATK as well. =) Whether its changed or not, still a useful card and neither UP or OP.

"Mystic" - I think the effect should be edited to:
While in your Deck [b]or[/b] [s]and in your[/s] Graveyard, this card counts as a Gemini monster. If you control 2 or more face-up Reptile-Type Gemini monsters, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. [u]If you control a face-up "Nageta" monster, other than "Nageta Mystic", [/u]you can Tribute this card to look at your opponent's hand and activate 1 of these effects:
-Target 1 Spell/Trap Card and Discard it.
-Target 1 Monster Card and shuffle it into [s]return it back to[/s] the Deck.
(The underlined portion I believe isn't necessary.)

"Spearsman" - First off, it looks like he's holding a halberd =p (but really, I dont like the pic on this one)
"If you control 2 or more face-up "Nageta" monsters, you can activate this effect: Banish this card from your hand to negate the activation of an opponents card effect [s]a Spell, Trap, or monster's effect[/s] and destroy it. [u]This effect can only be activated once per turn.[/u]"
(again, I dont think the underlined portion is necessary for this card.)

So far I'm liking the set a lot, but this is taking awhile, I might be back to check out the spells and traps later. Good job!

Awesome thanks... wow i really need to proofread before posting. Anyway, i didn't want avenger to be abused like honest/kalut/etc and i didn't want spearsman to be used more than once since it is a free solemn. I'll change the grammar, but the once per turn clause i'm not so sure. Thx though.

Energus - I like this card, not OP and can be very useful for this deck.
Infinity - At first I thought this was OP, but its destroyed when a single Nageta is removed from the field, and only negates effects that destroy Nageta monsters, not targets them. So, its close to being a bit OP, but I think its fine how it is.
Spiritual Release - This one is definitely OP in my opinion, at the least change its summoning effect to only Special Summon, and not Normal Summon afterwards, that would be a slight drawback compared to its effect at the moment.

The more I look at Spearsman the more I think it is a little powerful, whether it can be used once per turn or not it would probably be limited/semi-limited. Maybe make it so that it only negates card effects that target a face-up Nageta card you control (monsters and spells/traps).

Well thats that, overall the set is very good and most the pics are awesome. Good job on it.

First off, if you want to make Xyz you can use yugico.com. Then, when you save your card, copy and paste the forum code #1 into your post. It looks a lot cleaner than using a vanilla card. Secondly, I like the set. but Spiritual Release seems a bit OP'd. You can bring back a monster, get its effect, AND add a new monster from your deck to your hand? If the 2 monsters targeted with this effect are Xyz food, then this card is the Xyz waiter, and lunch is half off (was that an ok analogy? lol). I'd at least nix the "add 1 nageta from your deck to your hand" effect. The rest of the cards look pretty good: I think I'd run at least a few of em.

[ihop]

Absolutely amazing but my issue is that they're almost a little too good, I feel they have an awful lot of attack for a monster that is a target for so many things e.g. Gemini Spark, Offerings to the Snake Deity, Supervise, so I think they should all have something like 1500 ATK to encourage making the Xyz and also for balance. Also Energus seems totally inferior to Supervise so I think it's a bit redundant. Fantastic work all around though.

[Sora1499]

If these cards had only 1500 Atk then they wouldn't be very competitive. 1700 is a nice medium, though.

[Alpakha]

You guys know that gemini monsters have high attack right (even with their effects)? I won't change the atk (though i will edit def), i will change release, and i will edit spearsman. Also xyz will be fixed (thx sora, i have xyz on yugico but nvr figured out how to get it here >.<).

Also, i made energus to be able to be able to combo, but now i see that it won't work as i hoped. I'll edit that too.

Awesome. My debt is now repaid! HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Thx for telling, me. I'll post the other one or find an xya template. Anyway, i tried going to the card on yugico and is says that i have no created cards. Damn, i had a whole set of xyz on there and i don;t remember effects >.<.

[Sora1499]

That sucks. Did you remember to save them?
