If this card is normal summoned: you can choose 1 Gemini monster from your deck, send it to the graveyard and if you do, add 1 "Gemini-Syncher" monster from your deck to your hand. When this card is targeted for an attack: change it to defense position.

 

 

This card is treated as a Normal Monster while face-up on the field or in the Graveyard. While this card is face-up on the field, you can Normal Summon it to have it become an Effect Monster with this effect.
● You can tribute this card, then shuffle 1 Gemini monster from your graveyard except "Gemini-Syncher Azure Maiden" and 1 card from your hand into the deck; special summon 1 synchro monster from your extra deck whose level is less then or equal to that shuffled monster's level in the deck.

If your opponent controls a monster and you control no monsters, you can Normal Summon or Set this card without Tributing. This card is treated as a Normal Monster while face-up on the field or in the Graveyard. While this card is face-up on the field, you can Normal Summon it to have it become an Effect Monster with this effect.
● You can shuffle 1 Gemini monster from your graveyard except "Gemini-Syncher Argent Tider" and 1 card from your hand into the deck; special summon 1 synchro monster from your extra deck whose level is less then or equal to that shuffled monster's level in the deck. You can only use this effect of "Gemini-Syncher Argent Tider" once per turn.

 

Note: Since gemini monsters are effect monsters while in the hand, I see no problem with the normal summoning condition. Also Calling this card "Agent Tider" in the previous version was a typo.

As a whole, sweet, Gemini monsters need more love. but there are a few flaws that need pointing out for some of them. one of the largest flaws is I think you might want to place a restriction on the Synchro monster that you summon, like negating the effect, or being unable to attack the turn you summon it, otherwise you're likely to just be getting free monsters. for a (semi) joke recycle cost ala Gishiki aquamirror/merlanteans

 

Silver apprentice is a decent searcher, but I get the feeling that he could be abuse really badly, I'm not really knowledgeable about Gemini monsters, but I know they're a lot more useful in the graveyard than in the deck, and deck thinning was never really a bad thing in the first place. you might be better off dropping either the search effect, or the thinning effect, one would be balanced, but both seem like they'd be really bad together, and by bad I mean really OP. so overall I suggest splitting it up into 2 different cards, that way you get to keep both effects and possibly give them something else to make them more supportive outside of their normal summon, like an anti' targeting effect that protects your Gemini monsters. 

 

Azure maiden is ripe for abuse, it's effect is really exploitable with a proper deck build (Silver Apprentice, Supervise, Laval chain, Foolish burial, Swing of memories, and Silent doom all come to mind) this one would be balanced if it just said: You can only use the effect of "Gemini-Syncher Azure Maiden" Once per turn.

 

I'm 90% sure that Gemini cant' have Tider's 1st effect, but other than that, she's good besides the earlier synchro point. 

 

Crimson senshi is highly unbalanced, almost broken if not completely broken. A draw 2 needs to have more restrictions than just having to attack and discard 1, and the fact that she can be easily summoned and can even drop a Synchro onto the field upon normal summon makes it worse, you should either 1)get rid of the Synchro summon effect and drop the draw to a discard1 draw 1. or 2) get rid of the draw effect and weaken the draw effect to drop 2 draw 2.

 

Other than the former point on restricting the Synchro a bit, Mauve is really well done imo.

Thanks for a great revied *liked*. I'd rather make the effects more costly then the synchro more useless, as 1 of my design goals was to make the synchro monsters you summon this way fully useable in most cases.

 

In that past I tested a gemini deck with a created card gemini version of rekinding, and it still flopped. So you could say I'm not taking chances this time.

 

Also, I updated the cards, feel free to have a look.

You know why they aren't getting attention lately? Because this is an old thread that's been dead for 14 months.

Next time, check the last post date before you decide to necrobump things. (2+ weeks without comments = dead thread in CC)
