Card of the Day - Gemini Spark


Normal Spell
Tribute 1 face-up Level 4 Gemini monster you control and select one card on the field.  Destroy the selected card and draw 1 card.

Gemini Spark is one of the most annoying cards I've faced in recent memory, other then of course Reborn Tengu.  It is also one of the best cards to use if it is in your favour. The deck that best abuses this is an Omni HERO deck that runs Neos Alius as the main HERO monster.  This deck usually has three Gemini monsters that you run three copies of each and they all have 1900 ATK, but enough of that.

First, this card is a +0 that can take your by surprise.  A lot of the time they will forget about it and that can easily be to your advantage.  Since it is quick-play, it's spell speed 2 making it chainable to cards such as Mirror Force or Dimensional Prison in your own battle phase and even from your hand.  That is a massive advantage because most of the time people won't expect it.  Also, again since it's quick-play, it can be used in your opponents turn.  This means you can chain it to anything from Dark Hole to Icarus attack.  Finally since it's a spell it dodges Royal Decree and Seven Tools which are both seeing a fair amount of play right now in my opinion.

Altogether it is obvious that this card is not splashable, but it is a staple in most, if not all, Gemini decks and also very good in Omni HEROs.  Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more posts!  Enter your E-Mail in the side bar to get updates,
