[SR09] Evocator Eveque

[Thomas★Zero]

Evocator Eveque

Fire Warrior / Gemini / Effect

LV4 1500/1000

(1) This card is treated as a Normal Monster while face-up on the field or in the Graveyard.

(2) While this card is a Normal Monster on the field, you can Normal Summon it to have it become an Effect Monster with this effect.

-If this card is Normal/Special Summoned: You can target 1 FIRE Warrior monster, or Gemini Monster in your GY, except “Evocator Eveque”; Special Summon it. You can only use this card name’s this effect once per turn.

wait how?

 

how you special summon gemini as effect monster?

 

the effect is...decent i guess?, its basically trait specific monster reborn...but as much i love the geminis, this hasn't yet solve the types slow-jump the hurdler

 

EDIT: or maybe it meant so it can interact with Superalloy Beast Raptinus when special summoned by other means....which pretty clever

I'm surprised it does allow the effect to be used when it's Special Summoned, though that's probably for the best. Hopefully it means there's synergy with something that Special Summons Gemini monsters and automatically gives them their effects. Hopefully that can also help this card revive monsters with their effects intact, at least if there's something which treats Gemini monsters in the GY as effect monsters.

There's also "Blazewing Butterfly" that can SS Geminis with their effects.

Honestly, it really annoys me that this has a HOPT, the fact that it can't Summon another copy of itself, and that its stats are as low as they are. Those aspects feel like a needless debuff to a card that's already only ok.  The design here just feels... backwards.

I suppose I'll have to wait to see if they make more cards that makes this into a solid card (maybe a Field Spell with Superalloy's continuous effect), but yeah, I've gotta admit that as of right now, I personally am thoroughly unimpressed with this card.

If they're gonna focus on gemini monsters again, the I hope they give them a spell of trap that turns them into proper effect monsters on board. and they have to stop nerfing them as well. He already has to be summoned twice/use some other card to get to his effect. and he doesn't auto trigger other gemini monsters either, so the old loops aren't really possible with this. a HOPTs is not necessary.

i hope the deck isnt gemini based. This is the 41st card in the deck so its not indicative of anything per say but it still wouldnt be surprising to see the deck go in the exact direction i dont like.

IDC what you all think, Geminis are absolutely awesome. They are really fun and explosive if you can get the ball rolling. This card will be a great addition to my Gemini deck, probably a 1-2 of as it's a useful extra I can search with Carbo Crab. It plays a similar role to Blazewing Butterfly but I think I prefer this as it keeps itself around for Synchro/Xyz Summons, or for banishing with Catalyst Field. Also, it can summon Knight of the Red Lotus, which is pretty awesome.

 

The reason this can't summon itself and has a HOPT is probably to avoid loops like those you can do with Gigaplant. I agree with not enjoying unnecessary restrictions, but honestly it's not a big deal. You can usually just summon a different Gemini monster.

Geminis already have a really good Field Spell, Catalyst Field, so I don't think they will get another. However there might be one that supports FIRE Warrior monsters or Equip Spells.

 

I think the most likely avenue for extra Gemini Spell/Trap support will be a Supervise retrain because of the Structure Deck's focus on Equip Spells. Or maybe a Continuous Spells with something like "...immediately after this effect resolves, Normal Summon a FIRE Warrior or Gemini monster."

[Phantom Roxas]

They might do another Field Spell because with God Phoenix Gearfried not being a Gemini, the first effect of Catalyst Field would be completely superfluous. I could see them doing something that supports Equip Spells, because the biggest problem with Warrior's Strike was that, while some of the Gemini cards did have their effects revolve around Equips, it still felt like a deck that tried to blend two themes and couldn't quite pull it off.

 

So yes, I think that this deck needs a new Field Spell because Catalyst Field simply does not address the specific mix of Geminis and Equips that this deck will likely revolve around.
