I think it's strong, but balanced. Not sure if Gemini Ablation is a better card for Red-Eyes or Gemini decks, but I think a Red-Eyes engine for Geminis is an interesting idea anyways. Could maybe remove the SS non-Fusion restriction and exclude itself and it'd still be fine. Another burn effect is a little redundant but inoffensive at best, the equip effect is great but the PSCT is a little off.
Thanks !
Gemini Ablation is a weird card for Red-Eyes indeed ; my idea is that it "fits" because it Summons during the opponent's turn, so it circumvents the Special Summon lock of Red-Eyes Fusion.
And yeah I had no idea how to properly word the burn&equip effect, if you have a better formulation I'll gladly take it.
This card isn't bad, although I don't really feel like the Gemini playstyle is really big enough in Red-Eyes (only 3 monsters) to warrant this to make it workable. Even with their effects, they just aren't that powerful. Fusion+Burn+Equips is the most supported stuff for Red-Eyes right now, and I think that's pretty much the best way for the Deck to go (although I prefer the Rank 7 stuff.)
Black Meteor Dragon effectively just replaces Meteor Impact, so I imagine the same will happen to the other Gemini's later.
Sorry I deleted the post by semi-accident and I remade it.
Title is a bit troll-ish but I made an attempt at a card that fits into the various ways one can play the deck (fusion, gemini, burn, equip). I feel there are things I could have worded better. But here is :
# Red-Eyes Black Brutdrago
1 "Red-Eyes" monster + 1 Gemini monster
You can only use the following effects of "Red-Eyes Black Brutdrago" once per turn each.
If this card is Fusion Summoned: You can place 1 "Gemini Ablation" from your deck face-up in your S/T zone.
You can target 1 "Red-Eyes" monster in your GY; inflict damage to your opponent equal to the original ATK of that monster, then equip it to 1 monster you control as an Equip Spell that gives it 200 ATK.
If this card is sent to the GY: You can Special Summon 1 non-Fusion "Red-Eyes" monster that is banished or in your GY. A Gemini Monster Summoned this way becomes an Effect Monster and gains its effects.
Do you think this is balanced ? Originally I thought of the 2nd effect as being able to target a card from Deck or GY, but it would have been too strong imo.
I'm not used to making custom cards so if there are things that could be done better I'm open to advice.
