Spirit Monster: Takama-Ga-Hara. (Input and/or opinions appreciated).

[Dandelo]

I tried to keep this card true to high-level Spirit Monsters ("Hino-Kagu-Tsuchi" and "Yamata Dragon"), whose effects focus on gaining significant hand advantage.

 

 

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. If this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent, you can reveal and shuffle any number of cards in your hand into your Deck to have your opponent discard an equal number of cards. Then you draw 1 card for each Spirit Monsterr shuffled into your Deck by this effect.

[Dandelo]

Didn't see this coming... bump.

I like it. I like it a lot. Too bad I run a Machina. Anyhow, one question: Why'd you make a monster out of a place?

Regardless: 9.77689/10

[WhoAreYou?]

interesting effect, not OP'ed at all, but the levels could be reduced a bit so it can be a 7 or a lvl 5/6 monster with 2500 atk maybe? just a suggestion

anyway, an 8.5/10 from me :)

I named it after Takamagahara because the picture resembles some sort of angelic, floating landmass, or mountain. And even though Takamagahara roughly translates to " High Heaven's Plain", i've always imagined it as a mountain. That, and most Spirit Monsters are named after such things in Japanese Myth.

 

Thanks for the comments; and yes, I may lower the Level and stats a bit.

Hmm its cool very cool, trying to think if this could be exodia material....really i am

After thinking i don't think it would be

The effect is cool and could combo with yata ^^

though i don't play spirits, use to...crappy ones anyways

I think i'd play this so...

9.35634/10 <---I'm the original specific rater

[crossader]

Only 1 word... wow... it's a very original effect. And just to be curious... what means "Takara - Ga - Hara"?

 

 

 

I'm feeling sorry for having asked that <.<

 

9/10

[Dandelo]

It roughly translates to "High Heaven's Plain". It's a place in Japanese Mythology.

[Dandelo]

Updated Level and stats.

[touzaikokon]

Excellent. It both fits in with, and properly supports Spirit monsters. Good balance, too.

 

You deserve a rep.

[White Devil]

Nice effect!! Very original and a good support for Spirits...

Pic is pretty nice too, card name's original.

9.5/10

That's really, really cool. I'd venture to say it pretty much outstrips every beater Spirits have.

 

Also, a flowchart:

 

STUFF THAT'S GOOD FOR SPIRIT DECKS:

 

Izanagi > Mirror of Yata > Skill Drain > Every Other Card In The Game > The Yu-Gi-Oh 4kids dub > Spiritual Energy Settle Machine

I'd hope that's a good thing.

 

And I completely forgot to take Mirror and Izanagi into consideration. Both would be ideal for this card.

 

Thanks for the comments, everyone.

Eh, interesting, although a high level, especially one that's level 7 instead of 8, doesn't seem like what they needed at all.

<_< Not sure if serious...

 

Creature Swap ought to be first there, possibly followed by Magic Box and Legacy of Yata. Then comes Future Visions, where you start to keep them on the field, and Drain is way above Mirror and probably Izanagi, since it's pretty effective to anti the opponent.

<_< Not sure if serious...

 

 

Half-serious. I mean, Spiritual Energy Settle Machine is a really bad card, but not nearly as bad as the 4kids dub.

 

This card, however, is easily as good as Joey's BROOKLYN RAGE theme song. And yes, that's a serious compliment.

Erm, it is Level 8. But thanks for the comment.

[-Griffin]

I read it as 7.

 

This is yet another reason why I like written cards, no missing a level star.

 

But yeah, Trade-In fodder I guess, although I still think a high level wasn't at all what they needed.

[Sotos]

(Balance + Cool Pic) x (the fact that I like Spirits) = 9.2/10 and a rep for you

[Dandelo]

Thanks. :o

[Phantasy Dreamz]

Just one thing, does your oppenent get to check the cards you're going to shuffle into your deck?

Cause then how would they know how many of those cards are Spirit Monsters?

 

Besides that, it's a well card to add to those strong Spirits.

8.10

 

And does the name mean anything? Takama-Ga-Hara. Lol.

[Dandelo]

The effect cleary states, "reveal and shuffle...", i.e. you show your opponent the cards you're shuffling into your Deck. And the name, as i've said three times, roughly translates to "High Heaven's Plain"; it is a place in Japanese Mythology. ;)

[Dandelo]

El bump-o.

[Archwing]

Pretty good. I wouldnt use it in anything but a spirit deck but that dosnt make it a bad card. Great pic good effect... 9/10 And a rep cause i feel like it >_>

[Dragoon55]

Wow i love the uniqueness of this card, its very balanced too. Wow. 9.5/10. Very nice job
