      That's a good idea actually. The strategy could be to use the (broken) normal monster support to get your plays started, then double summon for whichever specific monster effect you need at the moment. It would be like playing two different decks at the same time. Definitely would go a long way into making gemini not only playable, but also to stand out as unique.

      Kwagar Hercules is the only Insect Fusion monster that meets these conditions (actually, it's the only Insect Fusion monster period) so decks that really want insect materials are using it as a tech play.
      Because the card is so old and so bad, copies are hard to come by, so Kwagar Hercules is currently marketing for $100 a pop.

    • @antonioscendrategattico2302
      @antonioscendrategattico2302 2 роки тому +6

      It's the unfortunate side effect of a game that has sped up to the point of making the initial gimmick entirely pointless. Back in the day, I could see the point of monsters like Gigaplant being kind of "keystone" monsters that enable you to play much faster at the cost of taking time and resources to summon them. But now... they just don't fit in the kind of game YGO is. Either they make an archetype of geminis loaded with floodgates that slow your opponent down to their level, or you have to basically make them regular pringles in all but name.

  • @dungeonmaster3464
    @dungeonmaster3464 Рік тому +4

    This might be too little too late, but I thought of a way they could've made Chemicritters good. Basically, my idea is, if we're forced to normal summon our monsters multiple times, then reward us for each and every time we normal summon.
    Tribute summoning is an inherently flawed mechanic that got outdated as soon as we were given the option to do anything else, but because it's so awful, that gave Konami the freedom to make some of the most unbalanced cards in history to support them. Monarch, True Draco, and Flundareez are all archetypes that work tribute summoning into their game plan and give you massive benefits for doing so, and even though people hated how suffocating those decks could be, there's no denying that they were inherently balanced by their restrictive mechanic. So, why couldn't Konami do the same with Gemini?
    Give Chemicritters backrow that give us card advantage or interaction each time we normal summon Gemini Monsters. If the Gemini mechanic is the worst thing about the deck, then make the focus around rewarding us at every step of the process. After the Chemicritters have been normal summoned twice, use their effects to get more Chemicritters so we can continue to process, and for that matter give us a Chemicritter that searches backrow. This way, rather than rushing to normal summon twice so we can ignore the Gemini mechanic, we would be rushing to normal summon as many times as possible to keep the chemical chain reaction going.
    It gives us a clear win condition once we have enough XYZ material, it would be a lot more fun to play, it works the Gemini mechanic organically into the strategy, and most of all it still wouldn't be broken. This strategy would still have massive problems with disruption, and the Gemini mechanic would still be flawed no matter how many rewards we get for it. However, at least our opponents would have an incentive to stop us quickly before our engine becomes a snowball rolling downhill.

    Add in the Balance skill to guarantee a Monster, Field Spell and Trap Card in the opening hand, and the deck functioned quite well, even in the complete absence of their boss monster, which people may not have even run if it was there? Haven't played in years, so I only know what I remember.
