Closing the week, we look at a Gemini monster,
Gigaplant. Gigaplant is a Level 6 Earth monster with
2400 attack, which is good, as it matches other one
tribute monsters attack strength and has 1200
defense.
Gigaplant IS a good card, but what it can do is very
limited. If you second summon Gigaplant, you can
Special Summon a Plant or Insect monster from your
Hand or Graveyard. Those are two good options, the
problem being, what monsters that are Plant or
Insect do we have that are worth summoning at all?
Not very many. If we ever got some worth while
monsters that fit both those types, and Geminis
became more playable, than this guy would surely be
worth using. Until then, this card is all but
worthless.
Besides, when was the last time you were playing
against an Insect or Plant Deck?
Ratings:
1/5 not for being bad, but for other reasons listed
above.

Hey, another good gemini! It's Il Blud-like effect
will Special Summon any insect or plant from your
hand or graveyard. There is a very fast deck that
utilizes Swing of Memories, Lord Poison and Lonefire
Blossom in order to creates a seemingly endless
stream of attacking plants and insects. Il Blud is
good, Doom Shaman is decent, and there is no reason
for plants to be held back any longer due to a lack
of muscle.
We're taking a break for a little while from CotD,
so enjoy this last one and get out there and
compete!
Traditional-1/5

I think
Wednesday contains the essence of
Books*A*Million.
Gigaplant is
awesome; it's a bug version of IL Blud, there's
just a few things stopping it from becoming
stellar:
A) It doesnt
have a recruiter monster to search it out on
your opponents turn.
B) It relies
on the grave so it cant be used with Doom Dozer
Too bad. It'd
still make a fun deck though.
3/5 all.

Wednesday - Gigaplant
Today I'm back after a while to review
Gigaplant with the rest of the COTD crew, and I
would like to point out that I have mixed feelings
about this card. It's a Gemini, which is a type of
monster that I have disliked for a while now.
However, this card is the Plant/Insect's Zombie
Master. Gigaplant really gives the deck type an
opportunity to be competitive, but the deck type
isn't just because it doesn't have enough other
monsters that can support the theme. Gigaplant
itself, however is a great card and can help
Plant/Insect decks swarm relatively quickly. There
isn't much else to say about this card except for
the fact that it can be deadly when more
Insect/Plant support is released.
