Dodging the Defenses? -My first Counter Trap-

[Lexadin]

[align=center]Here's a card I made from a pic I found on Pixiv. And I think it's my first Counter Trap aswell. I've probebly worded it wrong so feel free to correct me.

 

Negate the activation of a Trap Card that activated when you Summoned a monster and destroy it. If this card is in your Graveyard, you can add it to your hand instead of conducting your normal draw during your Draw Phase.

You only got 1 Word wrong it should be "Dodging the Defenses"

 

Anyway it's not overpowered but seeing how it can Negate Solemn and many others and it can return every turn to the hand it might be a little more than balanced. But anyway the idea is nice.7/10.

[Lexadin]

Thanks I shall edit. I choose to give it the return option, becouse it is still really situational even though it is helpfull.

anti-bottomless

anti-torrential

 

last effect makes it OP

 

9/10

[Master of Chaos™]

Well yes that makes it kind of balanced but still it can negate most of the cards in the Meta these days so you might want to make it be able to activate the recovering effect 3 times per duel or something.

[Lexadin]

I shall see what the others think about it, and if they agree, then I shall edit it.

This would be great for countering Torrential Tribute!

I like. :3

[Lexadin]

Thanks for your comment.

Good card 9/10

[Lexadin]

Thanks.

[Card_Critic24]

Like it! I'd use this so often and for some reason it reminds me of Scrapmetal Scarecrow

[Lexadin]

Thanks, and probebly becouse it keeps on returning.

[touzaikokon]

I'd say the ability to return itself to the hand is a bit much. Then again, it only protects against Summon traps, so I guess it's cool.

 

And the pic is EPIC. Especially good job on that.

 

9/10.

[Lexadin]

Thanks, I found it while searching for duck pics on pixiv.

In all honesty, I don't think it's as situational as you think. You summon Jinzo, I activate Jar of Greed to use it's effect while I still can, you use this to negate my Jar. Unless you meant for it to be used on traps that specifically trigger on a monster summon (the aforementioned trap holes, torrential tribute, etc.) I think it has more use than you originally intended :P. If you did mean for it to only work on summon-triggered traps, you'll have to reword it, methinks.

[Lexadin]

WOW! A Azreal & a Icy post in 1 week! I must be lucky. Well actually I made it to finally make a Counter Trap, but it was originally desinged to negate cards like Trap Hole and Torrental Tribute.

So how should I reword it then?

[Parting Shot]

I'm not sure if there is OCG for what you wanted to say, lol. I honestly think it works fine the way it's written, it has more utility than how you originally designed it with being able to negate any trap chained to a monster summoned even if it wasn't specifically triggered by said summon.

[Zeik]

pretty cool card but I can't help but feel it would be a little more balanced if it worked like Scrap Iron Scarecrow rather then been consistently reusable

 

never the less 8/10 for me

[Guest Ixigo]

Scarecrow's reusability is much higher than this, lol. People making a big deal out of it aren't thinking this through. This card activates only when you summon a monster, so 95% of the time, you want it set on your turn. Its effect only lets it return during your Draw Phase. So you'd have to set it again - but then you couldn't use it until your next turn. Since you also have to skip your Draw Phase, the recycling isn't overpowered at all, to be honest.

 

Cool card. The picture reminds me of a Duel Masters card, but I think I'm just confusing it with something similar. I remember seeing it somewhere, though.

 

If it is only meant to counter Traps that retaliate against summons, it needs to be reworded. As it is now it can negate any Trap that was chained to the summon of a monster, even if that card is irrelevant to the summon.

In all honesty, I don't think it's as situational as you think. You summon Jinzo, I activate Jar of Greed to use it's effect while I still can, you use this to negate my Jar. Unless you meant for it to be used on traps that specifically trigger on a monster summon (the aforementioned trap holes, torrential tribute, etc.) I think it has more use than you originally intended Razz. If you did mean for it to only work on summon-triggered traps, you'll have to reword it, methinks.

 

Jinzo's effect is applied immediately when it is Summoned. There is no opportunity to play Jar of Greed.

 

This card also couldn't be used against things like Solemn Judgment, unless it was negating a Spell or Trap Card played in response to a successful Summon. (Can't be responding to a Summon if you're negating it, they use separate timings.)

 

Now, with that being said...Even though it can negate any effect in response to a Summon, I don't really think it's too much. Although since the entire chain responds to the Summon, it could negate things like Divine Wrath negating your Caius's effect.

[Lexadin]

Thanks you guys, that was exactly the comments I was wainting for.

[chuerta6]

i think the concept is pretty good but seriously this isnt anything like scarecrow. This card actually destroys the monster, making it superb defence to your monsters. Why do all experienced duelist fear to summon monsters when your opponent has a backrow? its because your afriad of cards like BTH and torrential tribute. Im not saying this part of the effect is OP in fact a My body as a shield quickplay can deliver the same protecting and is more versatile than this card, starlight road protects your cards too and can be combo`ed with other cards like heavy porn. Im just saying that elimnating a threatning card like Torrential tribute and BTH is effective, having it again when you want to set up another play makes it OP.

[Lexadin]

But still it can only be used on Trap Cards that activate apon Summoning making it more random and you must sacrivise a draw to return this card. So it can only irritate if your opponent has a lot of those cards aka. Tap Hole, Torrential Tribute.

And you also need to draw it first, some people forget how hard it can be to draw the right cards.
