A Koa'ki Meiru Card

[Mugendramon]

...And so I found this picture in JazinKay's archive and decided to make a card with it. Here it is:

[spoiler="Koa`ki Meiru Restricter"][img]http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/1576/150875lb.jpg[/img]

[spoiler="Lore"]During each of your End Phases, destroy this card unless you send 1 "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" from your hand to the Graveyard or reveal 1 Machine-Type monster in your hand. LIGHT and DARK monsters cannot attack. If this card is destroyed, except by its own effect, you can Special Summon 1 Level 4 "Koa'ki Meiru" monster from your Graveyard. It cannot be destroyed during the End Phase.[/spoiler][/spoiler]


Is it fitting?

[Sweetie Belle]

Op'ed. You can have him destroy himself during the End Phase, and then Special Summon himself. He won't be destroyed during the End Phase, and you can use DNA Surgery to make all monsters LIGHT or DARK to cancel attacks. Also, the revealing cost is to easy. Should be something like revealing a Machine Type or EARTH, IMO

Also, I play KM's, and I know that every Koa'ki Meiru monster has the symbol of Koa'ki Meiru somewhere on the card image.

[Mugendramon]

I intended those yellow plates to be the symbol all over the thing, but it seems it doesn't look like it...

Anyway, I'll get fixing it.

Corrected. Better now?

[color="#800080"][size="3"][font="Comic Sans MS"][b]Ok there is a part on this card that is totally contradictory...

At the start... "During each of your End Phases, destroy this card..."

At the end... "It cannot be destroyed during the End Phase."

So it cannot be destroyed by the Koa'ki Meiru effect? Explain that dude...[/b][/font][/size][/color]

[Mugendramon]

Take a break and read [i]the whole[/i] effect. I quote:

The [b]SUMMONED[/b] monster cannot be destroyed. That is, ignore the Koa'ki Meiru effect of the Summoned monster.

[color="#800080"][size="3"][font="Comic Sans MS"][b]I read it poperly, my mistake.Can be a good combo with some Koa'kis.[/b][/font][/size][/color]

Shouldn't the end read "Its effect(s) is negated" ?

... Just a suggestion.

[Mugendramon]

No, because the big idea is to have a Koa'ki Meiru out, without fear of it destroying itself.

Doesn't work. The maintenance isn't an effect, it's a cost, and is therefor not negated by "Skill Drain" and the like. However, a better phrasing for the final effect would be:
You do not have to pay costs during the End Phase for the Special Summoned monster.
Or something like that. Also, that way, you can destroy it if you want to, although most people won't want to.

Well though, yes; but if you think of it, I'm also protecting the Summoned monster from cards like "Volcanic Eruption". AND by what you say, it looks like it also can provide a drawback, given the context you propose. So... it might still be considered right...

...right?

[-Lightray Daedalus-]

Actually a better OCG for that part would be:
As long as that monster remains face-up you can choose not to pay its maintenance cost during each End Phase.

Also the card seems UP'd

[Mugendramon]

What do you suggest? Higher ATK points? Or something else? Also; I've already said why the Lore says what it says.

[-Lightray Daedalus-]

Yeah 2200 ATK and 1500 DEF might Work

OH and I did understand the Lore I was just giving you a more easy to understand option of the OCG...well kinda...XD

Updated.

Underpowered. Lower level to 6. Great pic. 9/10

[Mugendramon]

Allright. Done.
