Black Temple Gaurdian Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Haven't looked through it all but Gem-Knight Quartz has immense potential to be broken. Just equip it with Mistobody and spam "Gem" monsters and you have an invincible creature. Link to comment
Lonk Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 ......why would you run Equips outside of Fusion Weapon out of Topaz OTK? Link to comment
Black Temple Gaurdian Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Because it wouldn't be expected? Link to comment
Lonk Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 just because it couldn't be removed from the field if I control another Gem-Knight doesn't make it broken. You cannot create a lock with 2 of them and it still can be easy to defeat (just remove the other Gem-Knights). Link to comment
Bringerofcake Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Gem Sage should have the Monk/Necromancer Normal Summon clause. Link to comment
Lonk Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 It should. Thanks for the suggestion. Link to comment
Giga Hand Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Benitoite kinda breaks the rule of 2000. I like that rule Flavor text is awesome. Sardonyx helps with the draw power, which Gems could really use. Other effect seems like it's only useful for more Gem Fusion abuse. Quartz is OP. Easy to summon, can attack with impuity and generates advantage by doing so, and very difficult to deal with. Even [s]when[/s] if you do you have the stuff it drew to face. Just because it's beatable doesn't mean it's not broken, the way to deal with this thing is pretty similar to Shi En. Bloodstone... is the essence of all things Gem-Knight. It has its drawbacks, but they can be worked around. Just use Pyroxene Fusion or Gem-Enhancement to protect itself from its own effect. What it lacks in power it makes up for in potential abuseability. A wonderful addition to the archetype. Tanzanite abuses the discard fodder generated by Gem-knight Fusion to operate like Zombie Master. Summon one of the geminis, use its effect to get a +1, that's +2 right there and you can now fuse something else. Given that it's a fusion monster, I say it's excellent! Gem-Tiger... *drool* Turtle is a terrible searcher, Gems need this! The only thing stopping me from running Gem-Knights is Gem-Knight Fusion's poor searchability. I was thinking of a different effect to cover the searching needs, but this is great too! Small OCG fix,[i] When this card is Normal Summoned: Add 1 card from your Deck to your hand that [b]includes an effect that[/b] Fusion Summons a "Gem-Knight" monster[/i] I wouldn't run Gem-Sage. His effect benefits your opponent as much as it does you, and since it triggers upon a fusion summon it's difficult to abuse Gem Fusion. Trinity seems a bit hard to use, and gems have all the search power they need with Armadillo. It can be a dead draw. I'm guessing Heirarchy supports Particle fusion and the geminis, but it seems a smidge costly. I'd just use Double Summon if I needed this effect. Gem Burst is... WTF. Too many effects, man. Both of those cost/effect relationships could fit on one card each with a little tweaking. Icarus Attack and Dark World Dealings... powerful and very useful, but I don't like it. Overall, most of these cards are very good, you have some very Gem-Knighty cards here. I'd run a lot of these. Link to comment
