Gemini Summoner
[Water/Spellcaster]
[Level 4/ 1500/0]
Once per turn, during your opponent's Battle Phase, pay 500 Lifepoints to Normal Summon a Dual monster from your hand or your graveyard to the field. This turn that monster can't be destroyed by battle, damage is calculated normally.

Oh! I can't wait for this set to come out!!! It is full of Venom cards that are utterly perfect for my theme deck of Apep! ^-^

[Alucard]

A Venom deck is a really fun deck to play with.

[Houndoom_Lover]

Nice quote, by the by. How does it handle? I've looked at a few cards in my spare time but what support cards would I use? *thinks about it* I have many though, so I won't worry. Any smell of them getting banned? *rubs my TRibe-Infecting Virus fondle*

[Alucard]

It really depends on the build. I've built some experimental Venom decks splashing in some random cards here and there and they've failed miserably haha! But others have functioned well with nice draws and performed well.

I doubt any of them will get banned due to them being rather balanced and not really overkill effects. The instant win condition is balanced enough to grant it safe passage through the ban list.

[Houndoom_Lover]

Phew -_-, no, I actully had a reptile deck that had dragons in it. I slowly slipped over to dragons and winged beasts so I have many replite cards that are perfect for the Vemon deck that arn't in use! ^_^ (Dragon deck is now fully dragon and tourny trained ^.^)

[Dark Sage]

The instant win condition is VERY hard to accomplish. First of all, to summon the right Monster, you need to combo the right Monster (which is a Level Eight NOMI) with the right Trap.

Then the right Monster must inflict damage on your opponent three times. And since it's immune to Spells, you can't Equip it with Fairy Meteor Crush or something similar. And since each time is considered a counter, if it's destroyed and you use its effect to special summon it again, you have to start over.

Believe me, it's hard to do.
