Darj Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Skill Unleashed Spell Card Type: ContinuousWhen this card is activated: You can add 1 Level 4 or lower Gemini monster from your Deck to your hand. During your Main Phase, you can Normal Summon 1 Gemini monster you control in addition to your Normal Summon/Set. (You can only gain this effect once per turn.) You can only activate 1 "Skill Unleashed" per turn. Yeah, it is a blatant combination of Tenki+Tensu for supporting Geminis. I would say it is simple but effective: It makes Gemini decks faster, and the search allows the card to become instantly live, instead of relying on drawing or searching Geminis through other means to take advantage of this card. The card's name could be better, though. Thoughts? EDIT: 14/12/14: Added hard OPT clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Yamiegg Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 It's bland, but effective. There's really not much to say other than that. It's balanced because its current targets are of limited use. Name-wise... "Dance of Twin Stars" or something similar, referencing Gemini, the Twins. My text has gone all funny recently.

Darj Posted December 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 "Dance of Twin Stars" sounds too cheesy for my liking. I was thinking more in making a reference to Phoenix Gearfried, who is more or less the boss of Geminis and appears in "Supervise", one of the better Gemini support cards. I don't know, "Warcry of the Phoenix Champion" or something like that; if the effect is bland, at least I could add flavor with the name. Although that would make finding an artwork for the card more difficult. I guess I will change the name depending on the artwork I find for the card.

The card's name could be better, though. Thoughts? Will this actually be used for gemini decks? Or just ran at 1-2 copies for hero turbo decks. I think that there should be a clause that you can activate only 1 of EACH effect per turn. So, you can either extra normal, OR add a card to your hand (Keep in mind you can only add 1 time while it is on the field) [And you should also only be able to activate 1 of this card per turn] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darj Posted December 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 You are right. This need a hard OPT clause. Not sure of limiting only one of each effects per turn, because the idea here it to search a Gemini, Normal Summon it and turn it into an Effect Monster in the same turn.

Make it so that if you summon a GEMINI monster this turn, you can normal summon another GEMINI. (Instead of being able to summon a normal effect monster, activate this, then summon a gemini.) So you can truly ONLY do a normal then activate the effect. I would see this being abused with Hero. But, it's not OP anymore if they HAVE to use double alias, so yes, I think that would be fair.

Darj Posted December 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Actually, the effect states the extra Normal Summon can only be applied to a Gemini monster you control; that is, it should already be on the field. So you cannot Normal Summon X monster, and then Normal Summon a Gemini from the hand through this card's effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then, I think it would be OP for heros to always have a way to get neos (hero lives OR this card) without even running that damn card as a dead draw.

So, you are concerned about easily Summoning Neos through Alius and this card. Why? Neos decks are barely relevant nowadays; what's the worst you could make? A Contact Fusion with Neo-Spacian + Alius? Activate the situational "Wrath of Neos"? Really, I don't think it would be that much of a problem. If anything, Neos/Neo-Spacians would appreciate the boost this card brings to them. And regular HEROes would gain 2~3 more searchers for Alius at their disposal, that may not even need since they already have x3 ROTA and x3 E-Call.

I Hate Snatch Steal Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 I like this because it helps mitigate the lack of speed Gemini monsters have. The search is also good in a dedicated Gemini deck. I wouldn't worry about this impacting any competitive HERO deck, in those decks if your gemini summoning alius... your doing it wrong and as others have mentioned, heroes have many other searchers. As a side note, may I write a script to add this to YGO pro? I can leave the art blank if you prefer, or I can photoshop paint.net something together. It would really help a Gemini deck I'm working on. edit: "Skill Unleashed" sounds fine to me for a name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just add my username, "Voltex", somewhere in the card if possible. In the creator or serial number slot; I don't know how YGO Pro works. I don't really mind the artwork, use whatever you find or draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Pros could use this with Gemini Soldier.Then again, you would have to use Gemini Soldier....But that's just an idea.'Course, the idea of making any Gemini instantly live can lead to some abuse, like how you could do plays with Blazewing Butterfly or other silly Geminis, if only because you could make use of them easier.
