Hazard to WATER monsters

This card cannot be Special Summoned. This card returns to the owner's hand during the End Phase of the turn that this card is Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned, or flipped face-up. When this card is successfully Normal Summoned or Flip Summoned, destroy all WATER monsters on the field if "Umi" is in play.

Interesting. It's fairly limited. Like, extremely so. Drop the requirement for "Umi" to be on the field, and it would be more playable.

 

So what you're saying is that instead it should just destroy all WATER monsters without Umi being a requirment? Sounds awsome, but doesn't that seem unbalanced?

It seems unbalanced, but let's compare a real-life situation: If I run a Machina deck, and my opponent plays an anti-Machine card like System Down, then they get to screw up a lot of my setup with one card. Likewise, if someone runs a WATER deck, they run the risk of running into an anti-WATER card, like this one. It seems unbalanced, but it's a very specific risk.

 

Besides, cards like this only see play if a particular Type dominates the Meta. If anything, it tries to keep an otherwise dominant force in check.

Ah, I think I see what you're saying. Is it because there's no cost for this card's effect?

Let me see... this guy is an anti-WATER deck... the only error i see in it is at the end...

 

...destroy all WATER monsters on the field if "Umi" is in play.

 

write this instead:

 

... destroy all WATER monsters on the field if "Umi" is face-up on the field.

 

Hahaha! No, I don't run an anti-WATER deck. This is just one of the cards I've made off the top of my head.

Thanks for the correction.

Not exactly. The point I'm trying to make is that it's okay that this card doesn't have a cost, (besides being a Spirit Monster, which you could consider a cost), because it only harms a specific group of monsters. If anything, this would just be seen and accepted as some anti-Frog tech in the current Meta.
