All right, my first try at Spirit Monsters...

Swordsman Ygnizem

Warrior / Spirit

This card cannot be Special Summoned. This card returns to its owner's hand during the End Phase of the turn that this card is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up. When this card is Summoned or flipped face-up, you can change 1 face-up Attack Position monster on the field to Defense Position. That monster's effect(s) is negated during this Battle Phase.

 

Thief Whikebain

Warrior / Spirit

This card cannot be Special Summoned. This card returns to its owner's hand during the End Phase of the turn that this card is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up. When this card is Normal or flipped face-up, you can declare a card type (Spell, Trap or Monster) and select 1 card in your opponent's hand. If you declare it right, add that card to your hand. During the End Phase, return that card from your hand to your opponent's hand.

Hmm, generally I like it.

 

There is already a spirit monster that changes battle positions, but it changes either position.

 

 

Yeah, I'm digging this card the more I think about it. Any searchers would be negated, anything that activates when it's destroyed or attacked. It would be in Defense, so it couldn't be powered up with Honest.

 

Searchable through Rota or Raz.

 

I like it. Definitely deserves a limited status, imo. And I'd go so far as to put it at staple status.

Nice card name - not dull or common, nice card effect, nice level, nice ATK and DEF (although for the most part, DEF is useless to Spirit Monsters) and a nice pic. This is an all round nice card. I can't see any OCG errors or OP/UPness anywhere and it can be very useful in any given Deck.

 

Rating: 9/10 - Great card, nice to see some people can make some really nice cards that are balanced and useful. This would definetly be abused to hell though.

So its basically a nerfed tsugoyiki(or however you spell that) I like it. 9/10

[jayjack]

The effect is pretty good for a Spirit, though not as good as i expected. There's a spirit monster with a similar effect as this card.

I guess it's good. 8.5/10

[Jolta]

Ragnarok Online... We'll seee...

 

I don't mind unoriginal Effects... Unless its an exact same copy(except the name).

 

I'm sure you'll need piercing damage for this.

 

9/.10

[DARKPLANT RISING]

It's an Otohime/Dark Neos. Pretty good and balanced. I would however, like Jolta said, give it pierce, or trample, or whatever you call it. Calling it "Bladedge Power" is easier. Anyways 8/10

@Shaco:

I think searchers should still be able to activate its effect, since they do so in the Graveyard. And right, I should lower its stat

 

@StevenBray:

Abusable? Then maybe I should trim its effect a little bit...

 

@sephiran1:

Otohime changes battle position. Tsukiyomi flip cards face-down.

 

@jayjack:

Yeah. I'm aware of Otohime

 

@► Jolta ◄:

It might just be too convenient for this card to inflict piercing damage, don't you think...?

 

@Kenta the Forbidden One:

Not aware of Dark Neos. Should check it out.

 

 

 

Wow, the feedbacks are better than I expected. Thanks a lot, guys!

It looks Swordman Ygnizem is a little too easy to use. I should try to trim it a little bit.

 

Meanwhile, here is my second Spirit monsters: Thief Whikebain. It does exactly what you expect a thief to do. XD

[ragnarok1945]

simple effects, but they look balanced out

 

seems very similar to that Otohime spirit card though, maybe deviate more from that

 

9/10
