Zero - A Gemini Archetype

[wiithepeople]

As the title implies, I have made a full Gemini archetype. The Zero Gemini monsters are just like any other Gemini monster out there(Normal Monster while in GY or field and you need to Summon them again in order to gain their effects). However, there is a large difference to these monsters. While they are being treated as Normal Monsters, their ATK, DEF, and Level are all 0. Because ofthe fact that these monsters levels are 0 while Normal Monsters, they could easily benefit from most low-level support cards. However, when Effect Monsters their ATK is usually very high for their levels. Anyway let's start with monsters:

[Mysty]

Some of these work TOO well with Skill Drain, since Skill Drain would negate the effect of their ATK, DEF, and Level being 0, even in Normal Monster form.

 

Overall, pretty good. I can't think of any ways to abuse some of these cards right on the spot except by Skill Drain, so I figure that means you did pretty good. In fact, except for the two with abnormally high stats, you could even get rid of their 0 Normal Stats ability, unless you plan on making cards that work the 0 Normal Stats somehow.

Bump and discuss

[Bahamut - Envoy of the End]

These are great, I really like the idea.

 

Some of the names like halbard and trebuchet are excellent ideas.

 

You've taken the original idea and developed it with a simple yet effective and powerful new design.

 

As Guest said, Skill Drain is a factor... maybe if you made their original ATK/DEF 0 and had their stats rise as part of their effect it would be better.

 

Make some 0 ATK/DEF support and these would rock.

 

Excellent cards.

New Trap card added.

New Spell card added and edited card grammar

[infinitysqrd]

I'm not sure you can "Normal Summon" a "Syncro Monster"

I really like the fact the equips apply to all Geminis.

I like it.

We've got Formula Synchron and Wonder Magician, so why not?

 

As for your praise, thank you!
