Whats This? Some Sort of Huge Turtle? (Card by Willpower_9)

[Quiksilver]

Yep, well here it is, my giant turtle, Castle Tortoisa. Designed at as a Water and Earth support card that also functions as a Field Spell. So what'd guys think?

 

 

 

[spoiler=Effect] 1 Beast-Type monster + 1 Rock-type monster

This card cannot be Special Summoned from your Extra Deck except by Fusion Summon. This card is also treated as a face-up Field Spell Card. Every WATER or EARTH monster on your side of the field except this card gains 500 ATK and DEF and 1 "Burden" Counter is placed on it. When a card with a "Burden" Counter is about to be destroyed, you can destroy the "Burden" Counter instead.

change Every to For each

 

"When a card with a "Burden" Counter is about to be destroyed" <--- change "is about to be destroyed" to "is to be destroyed"

 

overall you did well for the effect, I'll give this card 9.2/10

Wouldn't the correct OCG be something along the lines of:

 

"This card cannot be Special Summoned from your Extra Deck except by Fusion Summon. This card is also treated as a face-up Field Spell card. Increase the ATK and DEF of all face-up WATER and EARTH monsters you control except this card by 500. Once per turn, you can put 1 Burden Counter on all face-up EARTH and WATER monsters you control except this card. When a monster with a Burden Counter would be destroyed, remove 1 Burden Counter instead."

 

As for the actual effect, there's both good and bad. It would be abused to huge field advantage, since the Burden Counters prevent all destruction effects. Forcing your opponent to use double the destruction effects and attacks for (most likely) every one of your monsters every turn is pretty powerful, especially for a card that's relatively easy to summon like this one. I'd tone it down just a bit, personally, either into placing the Burden Counters once when the monster is Summoned or making the counters just Battle or effect destruction prevention.

 

On the other hand, treating a monster like a Field Spell opens up a lot of interesting possibilities. It gets the power to act as a +1 on summon if your opponent is already running a Field Spell, but also opens up a new weakness (if your opponent plays another Field Spell or summons their own megaturtle it's goodbye to yours). It opens up some fun combos with cards like Field Barrier too.

 

So yeah, good idea with a few minor issues, but fairly solid.

Thank you all. Very interesting read into it Toast, I quite enjoyed hearing what you had to say. Any other comments?
