Question
With all the new support for Geminis, could you please help me with this Gemini deck?  Surprisingly, it took first in my last local tournament.  Tell me what you think:

Monsters:

1 x Phoenix Gearfried
3 x Evocator Chevalier
3 x Featherizer
2 x Gigaplant
2 x Blazewing Butterfly
2 x Gemini Soldier
2 x Tune Warrior
1 x Card Trooper
1 x Gemini Summoner
1 x Woodland Archer
2 x King of the Swamp

Spells:

3 x Supervise
1 x Hidden Armory
1 x Future Fusion
2 x Gemini Spark
1 x Herculean Power
2 x Mage Power
1 x Mass Driver
1 x Giant Trunade
2 x Polymerization

Traps:

3 x Birthright
2 x Bottomless Trap Hole
2 x Threatening Roar
1 x Mirror Force

Extra Deck:

2 x Superalloy Beast Raptinus
1 x Goyo
2 x Power Tool Dragon
1 x Magical Android
1 x Black Rose Dragon
2 x Iron Chain Dragon
1 x X-Saber Urbellum
2 x XX-Saber Gottoms

Answer
You've not done badly, though there're a few things I recommend.

Remove the 2 copies of Polymerisation for 2 Dragon's Mirror, since Raptinus is a Dragon-type monster, which leaves you free to remove the 2 King of the Swamp for 2 More Woodland Archer.
I'd drop out Gemini Summoner for a Sangan.
I'd repace one of the Tune Warrior cards with Copy Plant, so you can access Power Tool Dragon via Gigaplant.

For Spells, I'd drop a Mage Power and Giant Trunade in order to play another 2 Hidden Armory.
Then drop 1 Birthright and the 2 Threatening Roar for Torrential Tribute and Call of the Haunted

After that I don't see any other problems, though you might want to consider adding in Reinforcement of the Army and the third Gemini Spark somewhere...

I'm able to answer any and all questions related to the English Yu-Gi-Oh! game itself. This includes, but isn't limited to:

Deck Fixes: These can either be making suggestions and improvements on a deck you've already built, or building a deck from scratch for you. In either case, please give an idea of the kind of deck you're building, the level of play you're planning to use it in (fun games, small tournaments, regionals etc), and roughly the kind of budget you're on.
Please format decks in a way that's easy to read. The standard way is to put each card name on its own line, with a number before it indicating how many you're playing. Please split decks into Monsters, Spells and Traps.

NOTE: A level of reasonability is assumed with this. I cannot build you a nationals winning deck based on monsters whose name starts with the Letter 'A' on a budget of £4($6)...

Rulings: On any card interacting with any other card(s). Just tell me the scenario, and I'll tell you what happens.

I won't be answering questions on whether a trade is fair or not, or on how much X-card is worth, as both these kinds of question can be answered by using Ebay's completed listings page.

NOTE: I do NOT buy or sell cards, and do not recommend buying cards from anyone, 'Expert' or not, from this site. Any cards bought online should be bought from licensed retailers that will provide you with a receipt for your transaction.
