"Imperial Dragoon": What's wrong here?

Recommended Posts

It's a hot and humid evening in UNDISCLOSED LOCATION, and here I sit, sedated on reggae and bored out of my mind. So I am now posting a card I made months ago for a contest (which I lost), and I want to know: What, specifically, is wrong with this card?

 

Imperial Dragoon

449553j.jpg

EARTH

Level 4

Warrior/Effect

Increase the ATK and DEF of this monster by 300 for each other face-up "Imperial Dragoon" on your side of the field.

1100 / 800

 

Tell me (preferably politely) what I did wrong with this thing.

If you summon it' date=' it's going to get killed next turn, unless you run stall, which is stupid.

Plus, max ATK is 2000, which is weak.

I see...but with 5 other "Imperial Dragoon"s on the field, wouldn't there be 5 monsters with 2000 ATK?

You can only have 3 per deck.

Also, it's impossible to maintain the first one, and get the others out.

Ah... I see. My idea behind it was to get it to swarm, but if it had too much ATK to begin with, along with +900 ATK from its comrades, I feared it would become OP'd.


I'm thinking about making an 18th-Century Warfare set, probably with cards to protect this. But I'm not really sure how to make it hold its own...

This card is not OP'ed.

 

The Image' date=' name, type, and effect do not work at all. The fact that you think having 5 beaters with only an attack of 1300-2500 is "lolwut?" worthy.

 

Apparantly you've never heard of Botanical Lion.

 

3/10.

As for Botanical Lion, I looked it up. And yes, it is better, so I'll give you that.

 

But how, specifically, do the image, name, and type do not work? I want specific reasons so I can fix this damn thing!

Well, if anything, that card should have 3 stars, other than that, how does a soldier walking a horse have anything to do with a Dragoon. I would also give it an effect like, "by paying 500 life points, you can special summon another Infernal Dragoon from your deck, after this card is destroyed, or removed from play, remove the card from the game, and It cannot be used again in the remaining of the duel"

Thank you for the clarification. Here is my explanation:

 

"Dragoon" has nothing to do with "Dragon"; instead, it was a class of light cavalry soldier in the 18th and 19th centuries. They mostly were scouts that attacked in small groups. If you've ever seen the Mel Gibson film "The Patriot", you've seen these guys; a villainous group of them harasses Mel Gibson's character throughout the movie.

 

As for the effect, this card, as previously stated, has nothing to do with "Infernal Dragon" or anything of that sort.


Incidentally, I noticed (via email) King Matrix tried to reply here, but I don't see his reply. Would you mind reposting your reply, King Matrix?

add sum other efect to make this card able to ain an atk boost easier, eg:when this card is Summoned add from dek to hand 1 imperial dragoon, the added card annot be played until your next turn. That wa its easier to draw them or ull have to look for suppot cards for his card, thi cards eff is to bland and ineffective to potetially halp u wina duel, maybe say even fo every warrior on the field it gains 200 atk and for evr impprial it gains 400

That sounds far better. I'm thinking about making a set with 18th-century soldiers; I'll see if I can incorporate your idea into this card.
