From the Deepest Depths of Yu-Gi-Oh!: Gemini 

Geminis have the problem that they’re an experimentation that Konami simply gave up on.

Another idea; Gemini that on field always are effect monsters during your turn but become normal automatically during your opponents, turning on many Gemini/Normal support that are trap cards. They could be the opposite while on hand/deck, always being considered normal monsters there but have Quick Effects on Hand that are only available during your opponents turn. I think the current yugioh landscape might be too advanced and good for most of our Gemini ideas but it shows how much card design potential they had that simply wasn't ever explored.

I think one way to improve the mechanic is give them alternate gemini summon conditions. Like normal summoning is the universal way, but what if individual gemini cards had an on theme way to suddenly gain their effects? The theme of normal monsters is holding an underdog status and the theme of gemini is unleashing one's power/hidden potential (see Unleash Your Power!). Therefore having reactive "gain effect" clauses combined with your recommendation of toggling between normal and effect status would give them something truly unique while also making them more playable. That and just generally giving Gemini monsters better effects to make up for their restriction would be nice.

I have seen that fusion monster 'nobody played' in locals a lot in Gigaplant decks back in the day. It was used to get your Gemini 'combo pieces' to the GY with Future Fusion to revive Butterfly with Swing of Memories, gemini summon and then tribute to get Gigaplant to which Gigaplant would do Gigaplant shit. It was the rise of Plant monster to finally get good. Also Dragon's Mirror was slapped in those decks

I actually got pretty hyped for the hypothetical tenyi Gemini cards since I too am a HUGE fan of the archetype and, such as so, i get pretty ducking mad that people just slap it into swordsoul bc non-effect wyrms simply doesn't exist (practically I mean). Edit: also I forgot to say that i'm an huge Gemini enthusiast (it was this mechanic that practically made me learn cards and improve my deck building skills), but ultimately put the dream of a slightly playable Gemni deck aside since Konami literally doesn't care and I can't do anything about it. Edit 2: Also HOW THE FUCK DOES THE GUY HAVE THIS FEW SUBS DAWG? Extremely good content my guy!! 👍 Keep up the good work

Since Konami breaks the rule with some of the newer spirit suport, why can't we break the rules of Gemini as well? Have a Gemini monster gain it's effect by sending the top 5 card of your deck or destroying a card you control or sending a card from the extra deck to the grave.

Not really related but.. There’s been enough experimentation that i think we can say that Gemini is playable in Edison format. Lonefire Blossom + Supervise combo is well known, but Reinforce Truth can also serve as a secondary engine that specials Gemini Soldier in opponent’s EP. If you then Gemini Summon your Gemini Soldier you’re in a really good spot since you effectively get another monster from deck every turn.

I always thought the Tenyi links should have been Gemeni. It’s a deck that does not need its normal summon to combo, and being able to have them be normals would allow you to continue summoning the main deck monsters while allowing the links to do more than just get your effect monsters off field.

Can we Have The Extra Deck Cards Treat themselves as Gemini monsters while on the field!? It would make more Sense!

Flundereeze had the perfect opportunity to have gemini monsters in its archetype, but no one wants to accept that.

Also, Konami has created new Geminis. There were a couple fire warrior geminis with the release of infernobles that were niche playable in that deck.. with cards like Chevalier especially. They just were worse than a lot of other tech cards

Gemini Fusion: Normal Spell; If you control no monsters or only Gemini monsters and/or monsters them mention them: Fusion summon one monster by using up to three Gemini monsters from your hand as material and/or by banishing them from your deck. This turn monsters with that name are treated as normal monsters on the field and in the graveyard and can be normal summoned to gain their effects. You can only activate “Gemini Fusion” once per turn. This Banishes from deck to work with Chemicritters and any Gemini monsters with banish effects. Speaking of... Talwar Cosmo Beast [Gemini] Dark fiend, lvl 6, 2400atk 2150def, (This card is always treated as an ‘Archfiend” card.) You can special summon this card from your hand by banishing one normal or Cosmo monster in your GY. You can only summon "Cosmo Talwar Beast" once per tun this way. If this monster is Banished; add it to your hand. You can only use the previous effect of “Talwar Cosmo Beast” once per turn. Once per turn; you can special summon up to two of your banished lvl 2 monsters. Gemini monsters do not need to have their effect text from gained effects written out on the card. They already did this right with flip monsters. For example "FLIP: destroy one card." The cards should just read "GEMINI: Treat this card as a tuner." Same for Unions and Spirits by the way. Even more simple in those cases, since the shared effects for those card are already streamlined. Just write that shit in the rule book and save card space.

As someone else said how is their no Gemini pendulums they work perfectly together but theirs been like what 3 new pend deck after arc v so that’s never going to happen

Geminis have actually been meta over the course of the game, but most of those decks were FTKs by cheating out Raptinus or plant shenanigans (not including the Gemini spark control deck which was cool). Giving them a Branded Fusion to give em fuel in the GY for Woodland Archer and make use of the "Normal Monster in GY" ability as well as targets for Methydraco to summon is a no-brainer. I ran Future Fusion, Red-eyes Fusion, and Brilliant Fusion in exactly that order over time to do just that lol. If we did get that card the opponent would have to take no damage by effect that turn, cus y'know. Just in case.

Has anyone ever told you that you have the same voice as Shikamaru Nara

ultimate great insect doesnt tribute a level 8 with equip. it tributes a insect with 2000+ def with equip... still no gemini with such stats

Ah yeah, Gigaplant became ftk deck, so consiten after link jasmine relase, be one option other than Amarilis ftk. From that, plant became xenophobic.

Could I ask what your issue woth swordsoul is
