Saturn of Elemia Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Hello everyone. SaTuRnPaLaDiN here to show a card for you to rate/hate/comment. I was bored earlier today and grabbed a random card from my desk. The card I grabbed was Painful Choice. Now, we all know this card is banned because it's easily abused. However, I got an idea on how it could be balanced. Why not make it work only on monsters and sends each card somewhere else - like a card from Magic: The Gathering does? (BTW, the card in question is 'Three Dreams' from the Ravnica set) Working with that, I came up with a balanced version of Painful Choice. Without further ado: CARD EFFECTSelect 5 Monster Cards from your Deck and show them to your opponent. Your opponent must assign each card a number from 1-5. The first card selected is removed from play. The second card selected is sent to the Graveyard. The third card selected is placed on top of your Deck. The fourth card selected is added to your hand. The fifth card selected is Special Summoned to your field.

Flavour Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Wait, what if they chose a Spell/Trap last? Though, it gets a 10/10. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn of Elemia Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 They cannot choose a Spell or Trap; this card only lets you pull out monsters for your opponent to select. Thanks for rating. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyPooBoy Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 -_- AMAZING! A card I would stuff in my deck! 100/10! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aelsthla-Mental Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 A balanced version of Painful Choice? Nah, this card is definitely different. I like it, although the name is kind of ironic. Considering the monster that 'survives' will probably be your weakest monster! Great card! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L33t Jenkins Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 This name doesn't really suite the effect. Otherwise good card. Painfull choice was an iffy card but this is brill. 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn of Elemia Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I thought it fit perfectly since the one that was picked last gets to come to the field. Thanks for commenting. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonRoyale Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 As per usual, you have created a fantastic card, Saturn. 10/10 I forget what it is that can make this card broken, but there's some way to abuse this, I just know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Smeagle Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 This Card = Win...sort of. From your average card maker, this would get an instant 10. But while it's awesome, it's honestly not up to par with some of your other work, so 9.5/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Wolf Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Great card! 10/10. I like how the hydra even has 5 heads. Yes I know there's one that gets cut off, which would make it 6, but I'm calling that a tail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboJoe Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I'd totally use this card, but I wouldn't want to be the unlucky one in the front. :\9.8/10 *Gives thumbs up* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyson Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 There's "a lot of potential" for this card, I guess, but it doesn't really make this card balanced, it just seems "better" than Painful Choice because Painful Choice loads up your Graveyard and your hand essentially putting you way farther ahead than you were before. This offers a lot more advantage than just another card in your hand. Looking strictly at the comparison, this card nets you a lot MORE advantage than Painful Choice. You get a card back in your hand, a guaranteed draw for next turn, and a free Special Summon. Then one for your Graveyard and one for your removed from play zone (where their usefulness normally ends). I see that as a little bit more broken than Painful Choice, to be honest. Picking a single card and using 3 copies of a good monster would, at worst, force your opponent to remove 1 copy from play, send 1 copy to the Graveyard, and put the 3rd copy on top of your Deck so you can draw it next turn. Then you're essentially free to pick 2 other monsters that aren't as menacing but can still hurt the opponent while they were forced to deal with where your 3-copy monster was headed. I really don't like this, and it's far easier to abuse than a lot of people are giving credit for. >_> 6/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn of Elemia Posted March 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Thanks for the commentary. Originally, I had thought of giving this card a cost - something like either 2000 Life Points or the cost of your entire hand. Probably should've went with one. Thanks again for commenting. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
