Gemini monsters are one of the most unique types of monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh! Not only do they operate entirely differently to other monsters in the game, but they’ve also lacked a coherent theme to call their own. In the past, we’ve seen Decks using Elemental HERO Neos Alius and sometimes Crusader of Endymion alongside Gemini Spark to constantly put pressure on the field while easily destroying your opponent’s cards. Now, Invasion: Vengeance introduces the Chemicritters, a dedicated group of tiny Gemini monsters that combine to create great chemical behemoths! Read more…
Joey Wheeler’s Blue Flame Swordsman finally leaps off the TV screen and onto the table, in Legendary Collection 4: Joey’s World. While Joey used Blue Flame Swordsman to combo with his regular Flame Swordsman, the real-world version can do that and so much more. Check it out!

Back in September, some Duelists had written off Blackwings as a competitive force. With Black Whirlwind Limited, people were taking a very pessimistic stance on the Deck’s chances to thrive. They were wrong. Duelists who were clever enough to see that Delta Crow – Anti Reverse along with Pot of Duality and Cards for Black Feathers paved the way for Blackwings to take two of the top 4 spots in YCS San Jose, as well as two top 8 placements in YCS Philadelphia.
LIGHT Gemini Beatdown has only recently become a huge hit, starting with a Top 16 appearance at YCS Toronto, and then later with a victory at YCS San Jose. While both versions had their own creative stance, they both retained the same basic strategy. With the ability to completely shut down the opponent with cards like Solemn Warning and Thunder King Rai-Oh and then defeat their opponent with very high ATK monsters, LIGHT Gemini Beatdown can cause an unprepared Duelist a pretty big headache.
But what happens when these two Decks meet? Find out in this week’s Monday Night Matchup!

Tonight we’ll explain how each Deck works, and give you tips for both sides of the matchup, so that no matter what side you’re on, you’ll know what to do.

Yesterday we looked at a 2 card combo that lets you swarm the field with over 8000 ATK. Today’s combo with “Supervise” is different. It won’t always guarantee you an instant victory, but you don’t need to have “Swing of Memories” in your hand to do it. If you’re lucky, you’ll still be able to win the game in 1 turn!
