Interesting, introducing Face-Down Attack. Try to get the pic less blurry. 8/10 I can't really see a use of this, unless you make an archetype about it. Now that would be cool.

[賢狼ホロ]

If it is treated as a face-up monster, does this mean that it can attack and activate its effect while face down?

[Trinitial]

It can't attack or use it's effect while face-down so I should fix that.

[Alexis Rhodes]

you cant have a face down attack position monster plus a burry picture 3/10 :)

I agree with YGO 5d, except a 6.5/10 for me.

In the official rules, it says if a card's effect breaks the rules, then the rules are broken for that card(s), actually. Anyway, the pic could be better, and the effect doen't really make sense. It's confusing. How would a face-down attack position monster react to an attack, for example? u should explain it. It's an interesting idea, though. 7/10

The only use I can imagine is that like, you activate it and your opponent thinks "He has a monster with strong ATK!" when it just Kuriboh. Mind games, really.

[DL]

yes, that would be somewhat useful, but it should come with an archtype that specializes in that. That would be fun to see.

[Trinitial]

Let me try to simplify, then someone could help with OCG ok?

 

Let's say Celtic Guardian is Face-down Attack position and Giant Soldier of Stone attacks it. the end result is the same as a normal face-up attack monster. Understand now?

[DL]

We know that, but maybe try to make cards that are useful with that. Cause I see no point, other than Holo's stated "mind games".

[賢狼ホロ]

Something along the lines of; "You cannot Normal Summon the turn you activate this card. Normal Summon 1 monster from your hand in face-down Attack Position. The monster cannot attack or apply its effect. If the Summoned monster is attacked flip it face-up." ?

 

Still how would you make an archtype with this? A lot of effect monsters that states "FLIP: Activate only this effect if this card was in the face-down Attack Position. [...]"?

Or would you have the archtype have lots of monster with 0 DEF and having effects like "Increase the ATK of this card by 300 for every face-down card on you side of the field."?

As the monster have 0 DEF they would just be killed of easily when they are in the face-down defence-position, but as the set is structured on the effects activated when you have face-down cards, this "Dark Cloak"-card would serve as an excellent card to prevent monsters from being killed easily.

This set could also contain a counter trap which allows you to change battle position of a monster when it is being attacked?

 

Hmm, this is getting interesting.

Thanks, Trinitial, for a very interesting card! : D

[ragnarok1945]

so can the face down monster attack and use its effect still when it's face down?

 

6.5/10

[DL]

see, there ya go. that's good.

[Trinitial]

It can't use it's effect or attack.

[Namo™]

you cant have a face down attack position monster plus a burry picture 3/10 :)

 

As a matter of fact you can,

there is a spell that has an effect "Flip the card face down but do not change its battle position"

which means if its in ATK mode it can be face down ATK

 

That rests my case on that

This card is confusing XD
