Interesting reworks on the 5 terrible Crystal Beasts. For lore reasons it would be reasonable to make it so they are always treated as the original.

I am not sure about GEM FORCE though, I do not see its point, apart from being slightly better than Crystal Promise (if drawn, while Promise is searchable).

GEM FORCE is meant to be a reference to the G, E & M-Force cards all all of their effects combined into 1 card.

I do get that it is based on them (although the first option is only losely connected to G Force).

My point is that I do not think this card would see any play if it would exist, because it does not add anything they do not already have.

A suggestion would be to add something like actual protection, consistency or something like that to one of its options.

One option would be to reference G Force by taking into account that the Crystal Beast monster battling from one's hand cannot be targeted or affected by outside influences, so adding effect immunity for 1 turn (similar to Salamangreat Circle) would be one options (or summoning a Crystal Beast from one's hand or deck and adding the ATK boost).
