Deucalion Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 So, the story goes like this: I was randomly flicking through the wikia, looking at effects that involve Monster Card Zones, you know, stuff like Ojama Knight. Then, I came across the beauty of a Space Invaders reference that is Alien Infiltrator. The effect fascinated me, because it focuses in moving Alien Infiltrator around. I started thinking "why not take that further? Why not have a monster that can move anywhere? perhaps make it like in drafts, where if it gets from one side to the other, it powers up?". So, I created a monster based on that. 1 "Plaguespreader Zombie" + 1 or more non-Tuner monstersThis card must be Summoned to one of your unoccupied Spell/Trap Card Zones. Once per turn, this card can move to an adjacent unoccupied Monster Card or Spell/Trap Card Zone, including those on your opponent's side of the field. This card cannot attack during the turn in which you activate this effect. If this card reaches the opponent's Spell/Trap Card Zone, it can attack directly. Personally, I think this is one of the best cards I've ever made, because it brings in a whole new mindgame - trying to stop it getting from once side to the other. You could slow it down by putting a monster in it's way - it either has to attack, slowing it down one turn, or sidestep, before continuing, you could put down as many Spells and Traps as possible, to prevent it entering your Spell/Trap Card Zone, etc, etc. It's not (or at least, I don't think so) even particularly over-powered, seeing as it will take a minimum of at least three turns before this card can attack directly. So yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deucalion Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 *shrugs* If it survives two turns, it takes up one of your opponent's Monster Card Zones, reducing their field strength. If it survives three turns, you can do 2900 damage, and block 1 Spell/Trap Card Zone. Four turns, 5800 + block 1 S/T, five turns, 6700 + block 1 S/T, six turns, you win. Doesn't seem so bad to me.

Saiba Aisu Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Deucalion: It's a nice enough idea, I suppose, but I don't think you have any idea how much removal is running around these days... I mean, for starters, they could easily wipe it out with Ryko or Celestia... And if that doesn't work, there's always Lyla to destroy Spells and Traps regularly. Still, it's a pretty cool card. Do you have the original image lying around? I'd like to check it out, if you don't mind. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milk-Chan Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Holy...that was all I could say when I read the effect. That is truly a masterpiece of an effect there! 11/10 ( first 11/10! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombiepromking Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 0.o Great.....card. So does it move to the opponent's Spell & Trap Zone once it's reached the end of yours? Other than that, Beautiful card great OCG mind-bending effect and cool pic. 9.5/10 - Great card, that one discrepancy messes up the card though.

Ja, it does run into trouble with Lightsworns, but I can't do much about that without either making it seem contrived and a deliberate ploy to stop the Lightsworns, or intrinsically changing the card effect. I could possibly make a monster whose effect is that if he is used to as Synchro Summon Material for Lichlord Dragon, Lichlord Dragon can be summoned in one of your monster zones, decreasing the turn count by 1, but that's probably the best I can do. Original image is here: http://njoo.deviantart.com/art/Lich-Dragon-130800957 Do note I cropped it, touched up the some of the intensities of the greens (the eyes and the energy ball in the mouth) and resized it on Photoshop, though. =3 [quote]0.o Great.....card.

It gets to your opponent's spell/trap zone by first going through from Spell/Trap Zone your Monster Card Zone, then from your Monster Card Zone their Monster Card Zone, then from their Monster Card Zone to their Spell/Trap Zone.

herbie Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 i'm gonna be honesti actually hate cards whose effects rely on where they are on the fieldwho ever originally thought it was cool to move a card from one spot to another on the same side of the field actually deserves to use such horrible tacticscards with effects like Rampaging Rhynos, Blasting Fuse etc should really be abandoned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ixigo Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 As a person who doesn't care about metagame or whatever, and just pays attention to how original and overall balanced the effect is, I'd say this is quite good. I mean, I'm sure Cyber is correct when he is saying that it'd be slaughtered against certain types of cards, but, as long as using this card makes a duel interesting and exciting, it's a great plus for me. I wasn't too excited about the effects on the card, which were kinda cool the first time I saw them but are really boring now, but the image is nice. I'd say you should make a few support cards to make this one's job easier and make it more competitive, or maybe base a whole set around it.

biadcy Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 awesome card and balanced effect 9.75/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KdogPrime Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 It's a good card, but maybe a bit hard to use, as it does take 3 turns to get into position to attack, and you know that your opponent will be targeting that monster with all he has, or blocking by clogging his own Spell/Trap card zones. Depsite that, it's very balanced, original and highly artistic. 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
