With the release of [[Xyz Monster]] and "[[Rescue Rabbit]]", "Gem-Knights" have the ability to quickly pull out Xyz monsters relativity quickly. "Rescue Rabbit" can also help with bringing out the many "Gem-Knight" Fusion Monsters, making the deck quick and powerful, not to mention that Gem-Knight Amber's effect can bring a banished Rabbit back to your hand for further usage.
==Weakness==
Despite being powerful in terms of both flexibility and speed granted by this archetype's [[Fusion Summon]]ing nature, Gem-Knights are not without their weakness. Similar to [[Evil HERO]] decks, this deck's true strength is also their greatest weakness, which is "[[Gem-Knight Fusion]]". The most effective way to cripple this deck is by activating "[[Cursed Seal of the Forbidden Spell]]" which can render "Gem-Knight Fusion" unusable for the rest of the Duel. "[[Non-Fusion Area]]" can also damaging this deck further, as it can block any other attempts on Fusion Summoning, leading Gem-Knights into severe disadvantage. You can use "[[Seven Tools of the Bandit]]" to prevent these from happening.
Of course, anti-Special Summon cards such as "[[Archlord Kristya]]" can also shut this deck down. Fortunately, some of the Gem-Knights are also [[Gemini Monsters]], which means you can use "[[Gemini Spark]]" to handle most of the threats. It can also helps for shutting "[[Macro Cosmos]]" or "[[Dimensional Fissure]]" so that they will not disrupt your Fusion Summoning cycle routine further.
Cards such as "[[Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier]]", "[[Mist Wurm]]" and "[[Neo-Spacian Grand Mole]]" can also get rid of your Gem-Knights Fusion Monsters easily (especially useful for dispatching "[[Gem-Knight Aquamarine]]"). To remedy this, you can use "[[Effect Veiler]]" or "[[Divine Wrath]]". Somehow, "[[Gem-Enhancement]]" could also work at this situation, but not as useful as effect negations mentioned above.
