Hello, everyone. So, anyways, I recently decided to take a break from working with the Fancy Heroes, which had been monopolizing all of my cardmaking as of late, and try my hand at something else. In this case, I decided to give you guys a sneak peak at another of the many Japanese-styled cards cards which will be featured in my current writing project, Days of the Black Apple. As a useful monster that supports a variety of Reptile-Type monsters, Palanquin Turtle will be featured in the Deck of an important character who has already appeared, but has yet to be introduced.

 

As always, your comments and suggestions are appreciated.

Palanquin Turtle

Level 6

Dark

Reptile-Type/Effect

ATK 0 / DEF 2400

When this card is Tribute Summoned, you can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Reptile-Type monster from your Deck. During the End Phase of the turn this card was Summoned, switch it to face-up Defense Position. Your opponent cannot select another Reptile-Type monster you control as the target of an attack or card effect.

Thanks very much, Yuuto! I'm really glad you like it - it supports many Reptiles, but I think it works best in a Reptilianne Deck, for a variety of reasons. With this card, you can fetch Reptiless Viper and Synchro into something useful; or similarly, you could tribute Palanquin Turtle and Reptiless Viper to Special Summon Reptilianne Vaskii.

 

This card has stolen my heart, too. xD

Oh, you have concerns regarding its DEF, then, not the effect. Okay.

 

Well, yeah, it's got a pretty solid DEF, but it's nothing that should be too difficult to get around - for starters, it's a Level 6 monster with 0 ATK, so high defense is justifiable. Then there's the issue of getting rid of it, which isn't exactly challenging, especially when you consider how easy it is to Synchro Summon this format, use Gale the Whirlwind, or even make use of the returned popularity of Monarchs to remove it from the field. And since it's Dark, the ever-popular Caius will be hitting you for an extra 1000 damage.

This is actually pretty good. It's a nice, clean effect that balances Reptiles greatly, considering they recieve less support than 60% of most types. Not just that, but this could actually set up some rather nice Synchroing. Great work.

Okay, I'll try and address everyone's comments in order.

 

@ Yuuto: Yeah, lol. I used to love Equip Spells when I was new to the game. It's a pity most of them aren't worth the deck space, though. =/

 

@ Queen: Thanks, I'm really glad you like it. One of my friends, AsukaTenjoin, is really into Reptiles. We worked together a while ago on some Gorgoness cards before the Reptilianne archetype was released. It just sort-of seemed natural to keep supporting what had become one of my favorite types. xD

 

@ HP Doom: Thanks, Doom; your opinion, as the image editor, is above all appreciated. And yes, I did; it's a lovely image, but I thought I'd make it a little more suitable to a Dark attribute, since that's one thing all the Reptilianne monsters have in common.

 

Thanks, everyone. Please keep the comments coming!
