Millennium Items

[TurkeySloth]

I revived two of my old Milllennium Item cards mostly for nostalgia, so they're here rather than in the Realistic Cards section.

Edit log
1a. Removed redundancies and changed Soldier's NS to an SS
1b. Corrected omissions and changed Soldier's name to Infantryman
2a. Had to remove the Gemini ability from Infantryman
2b. Reverted the Infantryman's name to Soldier because the Gemini ability is a non-starter for Extra Deck monsters

I like the idea of a Gemini fusion, but it is difficult to pull off. Sword has an effect to change "it" to DEF position after destroying a monster, I know it means itself but the way it's wriiten it sounds like you're talking about the monster you destroyed.

I double checked Axe Draganute, Goblin Attack Force (and elite), both cards have the clause[ if they attacked ] which doesn't create any confusion when the word "it" is stated.

I like the idea of Gemini fusions. I personally don't believe Geminis are a failed mechanic, it's just that the pay off for double summoning a card is not worth the effort. But look at cards like Gigaplant and Il Blud, they have seen alot of use because their effects are insane so you would want to double summon them. For a Gemini fusion, you can essentially double summon in the same turn without resorting to extra effects, since you can fusion it and instantly normal summon for the benefit. I'd love to see Geminis get the pendulum treatment where extra deck monsters can have that subtype.

And on this note, it would be interesting to see spirit extra deck monsters that would have some form of powerful effect when they return to the extra deck during the end phase.

Thanks for liking my idea of Gemini Extra Deck monsters (where the Soldier would've led). But, after some discussion on YGO Omega's Discord, it turns out that both the Gemini and Spirit abilities, albeit due to different mechanics, are off limits to the Extra Deck. Thus, I'll be updating this topic with several new cards once I figure out the their final details.
