Bengal Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Virulent Blade Cretin Effect: When you draw this card during your Draw Phase, Special Summon it in face-up Defense Position. During your opponent's Standby Phase, if you control a face-up Insect-Type monster other than "Virulent Blade Cretin", switch control of this card to your opponent. If you control no face-up Insect-Type monsters, and your opponent controls this card, gain control of it. During the End Phase, the controller of this card loses Life Points equal to the number of monsters he/she controls x500. *Please comment and rate* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
encapturer Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I see what you are going for here, but the effect is... awkward and self defeating. For example, if you control an insect monster and Virulent Blade Cretin, you have to give control of Virulent Blade Cretin to your opponent. But you control an insect monster... so you can't. And unless specified, effects that reference 'you' reference the controller. I'd probably reword the card as such: [When you draw this card during your Draw Phase, Special Summon it in face-up Defense Position. During your opponent's Standby Phase, if you control a face-up Insect-Type monster other than "Virulent Blade Cretin", switch control of this card to your opponent. If the owner of this card controls no Insect-Type monsters, and you are not the owner, switch control of this card to your opponent. As long as your opponent controls a face-up Insect-Type monster, control of this card cannot switch. During the End Phase, you take 500 damage times the number of monsters you control.] Tweak as you will, and as the card itself... 4/5. Looks like it'd be fun to build a deck around, though not sure how effective it'll be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 with the fire background, I'm surprised this isn't a FIRE attribute monster looks balanced enough, so 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one was kind of hard to word. with the fire background' date=' I'm surprised this isn't a FIRE attribute monster looks balanced enough, so 9/10[/quote'] I suppose you're right about the background, I wasn't sure if it was fire or not. However with the burn effect it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scyire Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 The effect is original... but impractical. 3/5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotaro Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 OCG looks good. The effect is balanced. The card could easily switch back to your field straight as it is under your opponent's control which could be annoying to either players depending on what monster's you or your opponent have. Pic looks good 9.6/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
◎Kaleidoscope Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I always love your names, and the rest of the card is just as good, if not better!9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
