~Red~ Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Is this your last match for the season? Anyway, on to the voting. both cards offer something that is greatly needed by Geminis. Card A offers a boss monster for them as well as offering quite a few other effects along the way. It can easily be summoned with Rabbit, but without being played in a Gemini centric deck, it is much more beneficial to get a different Rank 4 monster out. What I really like about this card, is the searching effect. Able to take the power of 1 gemini to search out another. I also like the little bit of vengeance that is held within the card if it is destroyed before getting to do much damage. Allowing for a possible 1000 ATK boost for a limited time. Card B offers speed to the Geminis, opening up more Xyz routes, as well as granting them their effects. Speed is something Geminis have the most problem with, but this card is a nice step towards fixing that problem. I think I am going to have to go with Card A, because of the searching ability. It is over the top creative, in my books, and really adds some spice to the card. Definitely wish I could give you guys both a vote though. Great cards all around.

Silent Luminus Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I can't help but think The Empowerer is just a tiny bit too strong. Though it does have specific materials, 2500 seems like a bit much (2400 would be perfect). Now, for its effects, the card is very effective and playable, imo. However, I do think the card's design would have been better off with just the 2 detaching effects - the draw and the ATK increase upon destruction seem...random, and it makes the card seem almost cluttered. Ardor, on the other hand, is a quick summon, which is something that Geminis lack and need. Also, the "effect-activating" that the card presents is key to the gemini strategy, and even with a discard, it's pretty easy to achieve. The Empowerer is flashier, but I think Ardor is better designed. Card B gets my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daigusto Sphreez Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I'm not sure I'd say Card A is overpowered, since many of its effects probably wouldn't see any use in a single summon (not consistently anyway), but I agree that it does too much. The card has you drawing, adding and removing effects, searching and adding ATK to your monsters. It's a collage of ideas bursting out of a lone source, I for one would probably forget half of the effect and let my opponent get away with things they shouldn't. :P Card B is the opposite. It Special Summons, and activates gemini effects, which for a level 4 would usually be overpowered, but the -1 card balances it a little. It would be a 3 card staple for gemini decks I'd imagine. It feels a bit too fast for me in honesty since having this card in your hand with any other gemini means 2 monsters + gemini's evolved form are pretty much guaranteed, and depending on the deck, a discard could be beneficial rather than a negative. I still think it strikes a fair balance though, and despite being simpler, suits the requirement more directly rather than filling the effect out with things that don't specifically help gemini monsters, but help generically. My vote is for Card B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren✧ Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 1-2 In Card B's favor Thanks everyone for voting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zazubat Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I find Card A to be pretty overpowered. It's already got Utopia stats, but on top of that a WAAAAAY better effect, and it supports Gemini Monsters way more than they really need to. Card B is still quite powerful as well, but it doesn't have effects up the butt as the first card does. Card B allows for nice combos, and it's cost is fine for what it does. So Card B gets my vote.
