Forum:Gemknight Fusion ~~ Please Comment!

Anyone remember the Crystal Beasts? Well, get ready for a new Archetype based on priceless gems, they're called the Gemknights! I've found a sort of fondness for them, since they're quite of eccentric, running off of Normal Monsters and Fusion Summons! (Wait, this reminds me of something....)

Well, the basis here is to use Gemknight Fusion, to bring out the stronger Gemknight monsters, mainly Rubys. Gaia Power turns the normally weak Gemknights into stronger beatsticks, and Knight of the Red Lotus helps revival and swarm.

Monsters: First, the only Gemknight Effect monster so far. His name is Alexand, and he can Tribute himself to grab a Normal Gemknight from my deck. Not bad, since it helps deck thinning, and fills the Graveyard to bring back Gemknight Fusion. Next up is the strongest Normal Gemknight, Ganet. He's the important piece in the strongest Fusion, Rubys. Next is Rumarin, and he has more balanced stats, but his fusion is pretty weak. Lastly, I only run 2 of Sapphira, since his Fusion is almost completely defensive, although it does have a nice bounce effect. Gemresis can search out any Gemknight to my hand, giving me card advantage. Knight of the Red Lotus is good swarm, and he can revive a monster, as long as I can keep the Normal Monsters in my grave at 3. Lastly, I chose Gene-Warped Warwolf as an EARTH Normal Beatstick, since he goes up to 2500 with Gaia Power.

Spells: Gaia Power makes even the weaker Gemknight Fusions become a threat, and it makes Rubys a 3000 Piercing beatstick. Gemknight Fusion is the key of the deck, and it can bring itself back by removing a Gemknight. This makes it perfect to use for discard effects as well. Future Fusion works as well, to Fusion Summon a Gemknight, and to load the Graveyard with Knights. Dark Factory of Mass Production allows for quick Fusion Summons, by bringing back two Gems, then removing one to get my Fusion card back. Heart of the Underdog was included for a few extra draws, since I have 10 Normal Monsters in the deck. Burial from a Different Dimension was included to bring back cards removed by Gemknight Fusion and Knight of the Red Lotus, and Foolish Burial allows for quick Graveyard filling. Heavy Storm, Mystical Space Typhoon, and Giant Trunade remove the pesky Spells and Traps that try to stop me. Finally, Book of Moon can tech against stuff, or help me push for a win with Rubys or Paz.

Traps: The three Wabokus help against Honest and Kalut, while Return from the Different Dimension helps be bring back Gemknights after putting their Fusion back in my hand. Also, I thought Phoenix Wing Wind Blast would work, since Gemknight Fusion and Gemresis provide good hand advantage.

Please give me suggestions on how to improve this deck!--Akiza Izayoi 01:31, February 20, 2010 (UTC)
