This card is treated as a Normal Monster while face-up on the field or in the Graveyard. While this card is a Normal Monster on the field, you can Normal Summon it to have it become an Effect Monster with this effect.

• Monsters cannot activate their effects, except Gemini monsters.

Concept and Wordplay:

Spoiler

So this is what it is based off of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portcullis, except only it would be a living version of it if that makes sense.

Flavor-wise, when you Gemini Summon it you lower the "gate" which in this case is its floodgate effect.

Wordplay:

Portcullis + Colossus

Design Notes

Spoiler

Well... This would essentially be an Amano-Iwato (Spirit monster supporting floodgate) for Gemini's. I know a lot of people don't like these, but Gemini is such a slow mechanic that I think it is more justified for them to have.

Good ATK and DEF for a Gemini monster. While that effect may be mighty, it does require another Normal Summon or Gemini support just to pull off. And even then, while your opponent may not be able to pull off their monster effects, they can still overcome this monster (higher ATK Main Deck monster or higher ATK Extra Deck monster). So I'd say this negation balances out. Spirit and Union saw new monsters and/or support in the last generation or two. It'd be nice to see Gemini get the same treatment.

I like this one a lot. A strong floodgate, but requires 2 Normal Summons. In a way it's like a different take on Majesty's Fiend, trading some aspects like being Normal or Special Summonable to be Gemini Summoned afterwards, but lower original ATK.
LIGHT/Rock is an underused typing, and I appreciate when these typings see some use. It may disable it from getting important support, for instance if it was EARTH/Rock instead, but IMO it's for the best. And it does still get some toys to play with, namely Block Dragon.
