Gemini Haymaker

[Airride]

 

>Blazewing turns into any Gemini you have in grave and repeats are good fuel for Lotus' banish and Dragon Mirror

>Dark Valkyrie and Future Samurai can pop monsters, Valk for free, and Samurai for a banish which can help fuel DDR nd/or adjust to get a Lotus out.

>Heavy Knight Catastors night anything that isn't protected from destruction

>Day Grepher is more to have another Gemini in the deck, but also gets DDR and Supervise back. Sometimes.

>Knight of the Red Lotus is a DAD that reborns a Gemini instead, basically, and if he survives, you can reborn again.

>Archer is a RotA for everything after T2

>DDR/Burial Help keep the Grave and Field Stocked with Geminis for Mirror, Lotus, etc

>Dragons Mirror gets out the nigh unkillable (By Monsters) First of the Dragons, and the play enabler Superalloy Beast. 

>Spark is a +0 and gains value when chained to something that would remove it or a gemini anyway.

>Supervise helps keep advantage up and enables plays, especially with Blazewing.

>Unleash Your Power! is fantastic if you can reborn a bunch of Blazewings at once, as suddenly you can get 2+ Geminis with their effects for free. Even if you don't, you can always Xyz after using the effects...

 

Thinking about CotH? It can revive Knight of the Red Lotus, who in turn can revive a Gemini, leading to a lot of value. Problem is space...

[Toffee.]

You should play something like Spell Canceler/Anti-Spell Fragrence/etc, for that authentic Dark Vileplume action.

[goodfusion]

Have you tried using an Igknight engine with Geminis? It can be costly on hand advantage, but they do help searching out Knight of the Red Lotus along Evocator Chevalier and Phoenix Gearfried if you wanted to use them. And of course Pendulum Summoning can be useful way of spamming the field.

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

Going over 40, especially for suboptimal cards like Trap Stun, isn't really worth it.

[Progenitor]

Herculean Power?  It's not a bad card tbh, just a tad conditional.

 

Evocator Chevalier is a much better option than Future Samurai or Dark Valk tbh, because you can do really stupid stuff with Supervise by sending it to revive Phoenix Gearfried for free.  This also loops with Knight Day Grepher already on board.

 

Speaking of which, Phoenix Gearfried is one of the better gemini monsters.  His effect isn't once per turn, which can be hilarious against pendulum or monarchs.  Also gives access to the trade in engine, if you wanna go that route.

 

If you can find a means to make it Black Brutdrago is a fairly decent card for the deck, mainly because you opponent doesn't actually have to be the one that kills brutdrago.  You can pop it for something like Metalphosis where the destruction happens at the same time as the extra effect in order to get a free high-level gemini and get to work with it's effect right away.

 

 

Just throwin some ideas at the wall here, maybe you can make sense of them.

Gemini Ignknights sounds cute, but not necessarily...good. Or even similar to this build, really, as it'd require a lot more working around them.

Oh, I know. I just don't quite know what to take out. Maybe Trap Stuns and something else for those CotH. Unsure of specifics.

I was never a fan of the "Make any Level 4 or lower X Monster into Cydra" cards. Always felt to inconsistent to me.

 

Evocator...I really love. It's a neat card, and I love equip spells, and he's basically a better Guardian Ceal, who I love. But the thing is, realistically, you only have 3 targets for him in here, the 3 Supervise since you dont want to -2 yourself by using DDR (If we include the discard). Sure, it can hit S/T, but...I'm not sure if that's worth it. Synergy with Day Grepher is kinda moot to me, since I stated I don't particularly care for him in the deck atm due to how slow he is in recovery; if he was OPT during the main phase, I'd like it a lot more.

Also it's easy to set off Supervise anyway since you can just Xyz with the equipped monster or whatever. \shrugs

 

Phoenix Gearfried seems...usable here, actually. With DDR and TwiTwi's Discards, it'd be easy enough to get him into the grave to revive with Butterfly or whatever...Maybe.

 

Black Brutdrago is cute, but Extra Deck is already a bit tight with the utility R4 monsters, and the 4 fusions. Plus, realistically, the tuner monsters Id have to run wouldn't synergise too well with the deck (The Level 4 Plant dude, mainly.)

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

Trap stun does just about nothing right now, so I see no need to run it.

Again, right now I just don't know what else to take out to put anything in, or even anything t put in as a 1-of.

That's cuz you aren't running the Bamboo Sword Draw Engine :^)

 

Literally god tier if you can get out Evocator with his effect, and even moreso with Swords At Dawn

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

Again, right now I just don't know what else to take out to put anything in, or even anything t put in as a 1-of.

I mean, when you are excluding Raigeki, it ought to be fairly simple to replace the stuns with it for an even 40

Seems more like you're describing Evocator.dek, which I'd totally be down for, but it seems pretty different from this. Especially with Swords at dawn, which totally bars half the point of this deck (Red Lotus, DDR, Supervise's 2nd effect, etc)

I'm not? 3rd Row, 9th card. (I might just do Trap Stun -> 1 Twin Twister but I'm not sure if that'd be too many discard effects)

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

Oops, silly me. I would drop TT for a pair of solemn strike

[goodfusion]

It might be worth reducing the amount of Geminis you run (IDK, is 3 Dark Valkyria and 3 Heavy Knight of the Flame necessary?) for some Call of the Haunted or draw power like Upstart Goblin.

[Airride]

Done (Pic not updated, though.) I'll swap them out with something if I ever make this irl.

I'll admit I haven't tested yet (oops) but even then, 12 seems on the low end to me. WIth Dragons Mirror, Red Lotus' Banish, and all of that, it seems like you'd run out pretty damn quick. We'll see when I test later today.

(also what does everybody have against dark valkerie out of curiosity)

[Airride]

-2 Unleash your Power! (Was not doing much for me.)

-2 Trap Stun

-1 Heavy Knight (Not as useful as the other killers)

 

+1 Day Grepher (Very good early game, admittedly, if you can get him out with a supervise.)

+2 Strike

+1 Foolish (Help to accelerate the deck; might also want math?)

[and1dodger]

+ 1 Reinforcements of the army : Search your Warriors Line-up.
+ 1 Gemini Scorpion : Their are times during a duel that requires you to Xyz Summon in order to remove certain threats or to establish a field with a more potent monster in your Extra Deck. Gemini Scorpion allows you to access your Extra Deck Toolbox. In addition, it can be searched out via Reinforcements.
+ 1 Daigusto Emerald : Daigusto is great Xyz monster that Gemini's can utilize. It can revive your Gemini's from your graveyard.
 

Also, I'm not sure if its ok to post this video here but I want to show you some of the variants I made for Gemini's. Both builds are different but it I hope they can generate some ideas for you :D

[spoiler=A couple of videos demonstrating some Gemini variants :D]        

This builds uses Tune Warrior(I replace the card art). The Unexpected guy allows one to Summon Tune Warrior which grants access to Power Tool to fetch Equips. Tune Warrior also works with Supervise when supervise hits the graveyard you can Special Tune Warrior from the graveyard.

 

The duel below is a bit generic build but utilizes Rekinding (Heavy Knight, Flamvell Dog and Guerilla Kite for Rekindling targets). Also, please note this video was posted 2014 so Blaster was legal at the time along with being able to use triple Tour Guides. The Tour Guides gives access to Leviair the Sea Dragon to Special Summon banished Gemini's and also for M-X-Saber Invoker for Special Summoning shenanigans. :3

 

[Airride]

Gemini Scorpion...Is not very good. Getting Geminis out of the hand is never hard with the numerous discard costs, and Special Summoning them back is ever difficult either with Red Lotus, DDR, and Supervise, plus kinda Blazewing. It also consumes the fairly important NS Slot int he deck, which is, a lot of times I've found, the first step to gaining your momentum. I'd rather run Herculean Power, and I've already stated I don't like that card.

 

RotA and Emeral are fair points, though, I shouldn't have forgotten them.
