Painful Strike

 

Guardian of the Shadow Realm

 

Painful Strike may be a lot overpowered, but that's the way it should be.

I will give you credit for a card that is interesting to use. Literally, if you play this card too early, you're guaranteed to lose the duel (unless you can defeat your opponent before your next draw phase). Recommendation: send the top 10 cards from your deck out of play. Balance the maximum cost the card can cause between you and your opponent (if the toss is your favor, your opponent loses 4000 life points, but you still have to pay 1000 to activate; if the toss is not in your favor, your giving up 3000 life points, and all of the cards in you deck and graveyard after drawing two cards--you have to then defeat your opponent literally before the end of your turn). For the effect I rank 6/10; for originality, 9/10.

 

As for your other card, way too overpowered for a normal two tributes monster. Love the pic though (7/10).
