Blazing Pegasus (Yankeefan Single)

[Yankee]

This is for a contest.

The theme is burn.

 

Hopefully I did okay.

 

Check it out

[spoiler=Effect]This card cannot be Special Summoned. This card can only be Normal Summoned by Tributing 3 monsters you control. You can discard any number of cards to send the same number of monsters you control to the Graveyard. Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the total combined ATK of the sent monsters. During each of your End Phases, Tribute 1 monster you control or destroy this card. When this card is destroyed, destroy all cards you control. Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the amount of cards destroyed x300.

Hope you like it,

With its last effect, the most damage you would deal would be 3000 (300x10 cards, not counting 1 monster Zone because it should remain empty after the Pegasus was destroyed). So... you are better off by sending the Pegasus to the grave with its own effect: you still will inflict 3000 damage, but will lose less cards.

 

Your card seems balanced. It has a high cost for a card that could easily OTK. Works well with it fellows Pyros.

[Yankee]

That is the point :)

However, if you're trying to kill your opponent fast, you can use this guys effect, then during the end phase deal some extra damage by having it die.

BUT, say the opponent destroys it, you lose all cards on your field still...BUT..your opponent may take a very hefty fine for it.

This would be fun to play with..the opponent choosing to destroy it or not..;)

you draw this pic yourself? If yes you did great for it

 

it has one hell of a burn effect, easy set up for a OTK. Drawback in the summoning condition and constantly losing a monster on the field to keep it on should be enough, so I'll give this 9.8/10

[Yankee]

Thanks.

No, I did not draw it. I gave credit to the great artist on the card. ^_\\\

[Kitty]

Great Card Yankee as always. :P

 

9/10

[Yankee]

Thank you! ^_\\\

1200dmg average even during swarm for the last effect.

 

Balance on this card makes my head spin <_<... I mean, you're already -2 and then -X for whatever else. Blah, first effect isn't worth the trouble.

 

Creativity wise, it's actually a new spin on burn just poorly presented. Not half bad.

And don't make me click spoilers again, especially for Singles.

[Yankee]

Well, I'd imagine the first effect can be worth it, as you can OTK your opponent with it given the right cards.

It is a Level 10, so it's sort of hard to balance usually. But still, feels like I made it work.

 

Thanks Icebro ^_\\\

Yeah, I saw the OTK. But how much are you giving up? The effect is written as a cost, so no DW. You're already down 3 monsters, even in Token Turbo that's extreme (except in Plasma decks but it's a whole other mechanic).

 

The only use this card would have is late game, and that's not even an OTK. Barely a win condition. You'd need a massive set up just for the advantage to be worthwhile. It's like saying "My deck has a Green OTK under the right circumstances".

Yea, you're giving up alot to summon a guy that can end the duel by himself.

I'd think thats a pretty good thing to give things up for.

Besides, people would put this guy in a deck where they could maximize his potential...XD

[Guest JoshIcy]

Late Game = Turn 5-10... Duels are over by then.

In Tier 2, late game is turn 8-13. Duels are over by then.

Tier 3... Lol don't kid me, this is Countdown's Metagame.

 

And maximize his potential how? IIRC there aren't tokens that can help you summon this, so that's out of the question. There's no Fire Decks that summon fast enough outside control burn and that needs it's place. Not sure on Flamvels and NeoFlamvels... Blah. I don't see it worth the cost, even in a dedicated deck.

You can use simple stuff like..Hero Kid, then bring out big guys.

It would take work to make, but I imagine it is possible =D

Sorry, but this is drastically UP'd.

"This card cannot be Special Summoned. This card can only be Normal Summoned by Tributing 3 monsters you control."

Entirely murdered the card. No card like that is used. The only things that are often Tribute Summoned with 2 tributes are L&DD and... that's all that really comes to mind right now, and nothing with 3 tributes is used. Cards like this are horribly inconsistent and when they are "balanced", they become, "find a cheap way to Summon me, then you've probably won". If it isn't that, 3 tributes isn't worth the effort.

 

Realistically, you Summon this with Dandylion&Treeborn. After that, you'd intend to swing for 4k, then send the monster field in MP2. That requires a minimum of 6 cards in a pretty much unbelievably perfect situation. Even when Summoning this flawlessly, it's not worth it.

 

It looks powerful on the surface, but in gameplay, that opening clause is more crippling than it appears. It's so easy to just Bottomless, Solemn, Smashing, D-Prison, ect, that you're wasting advantage on it, breaking even if you get lucky with Dandy&Treeborn.

 

tl;dr - It can swing 6k on its own, but so can Armytyle, and that isn't worth its Summoning either.

 

RC as a whole needs to learn that the most useful cards in the game are often Level 1-4, the vast majority of cards above 4 are never used, especially without Summoning Criteria, and the case holds true again here. RCs obsession with "I want to make the strongest card ever", or close to that, where most people think "support" means, "give them a bigger nuke", is really one of the big things leading to UP'd cards here =/

"Return from a Different Dimension" or "Rekindling" can make its summoning easier, but of course using those cards will take some Time.
