You can send 1 Equip Card equipped to this card to the Graveyard to return 1 Defense Position monster your opponent controls to the top of their Deck. When this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent by a direct attack, you can add 1 Equip Card in your Graveyard to your hand.

When an Equip Card is added to your hand from your Deck or Graveyard by a card effect, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. If Summoned in this way, this card cannot be targeted by your opponent's Trap Cards during your Battle Phase. If this card is equipped with an Equip Card, you can discard 1 Warrior-Type monster to have this card attack your opponent directly.

When a Warrior-Type monster equipped with an Equip Card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. When this card is Special Summoned, you can equip 1 Equip Card from your Deck to 1 Warrior-Type monster you control. If you Tribute this card for the Tribute Summon of a Warrior-Type monster, the Summoned monster cannot be destroyed by card effects while equipped with an Equip Card.

Tribute 1 face-up Warrior-Type monster you control to negate the activation of a Spell or Trap Card that targets 1 or more monster(s) you control, and destroy it. If the Tributed monster was equipped with an Equip Card, add the Equip Card to your hand.

If this card is equipped with an Equip Card, when this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, if your opponent controls a Set Spell or Trap Card in the same column as the destroyed monster, it cannot be activated until your next Standby Phase.

[b]Name[/b]: I like it 1.5/2
[b]Type/Attribute: [/b]Good 2/2
[b]OCG[/b]: I see nothing wrong 2/2
[b]Effect[/b]: The effect could abused in with certain cards. Bounce back an opponent's monster by sending an Equip Card to the Graveyard, then proceed to attack them directly and regain the Equip Card. It's good for early game, but not so much later on since more monsters will be present on the field by then. Even so, this card's effect is still rather good 2/2
[b]Balance[/b]: It's pretty balanced. The low attack and the restriction of bouncing back only Defense position monsters keeps this card from being op'ed. 2/2
[b]Total[/b]: 9.5/10

[Sleepy]

I'll say this card is awesome.

Pic is nice and fits into the effect and all xD



I don't see how this would be abused THAT badly. Its just a good card
You need your opponent to have a [i]Defense[/i] Position monster to begin with. Something that many Decks never do. Meaning that you need to change them with other effects.
If it gets used I can see how nice it can be. Equip, send to the Graveyard and return monster to the Top of the Deck. Then attack directly and have your equip back.

Her low ATK makes her searchable, and at the same time you won't need to worry about the ATK in an Equip-based Deck.

I usually see meh cards when I visit this section but yours deserves the 10/10 ^-^

It can be abused (to an extent) with certain cards, like cards that change the monsters Battle Position, which gives this card the start it needs.

Also if the opponent goes first in the duel, they will usually set a monster instead of placing it in face-up Attack position, so it's another way of this card to create a loop with it's effect without help from other cards, preventing the opponent from drawing further cards (unless they either have a searcher or a draw more card). If so, then it wouldn't matter.

You're right about the ATK thing for the most part. No need to worry about this card's ATK in a Equip focused Deck.

I should give this card a higher rate then I did. It's a good card like you said. *does a redo on my review*.

[Crazy Fresh]

I like the last effect!!

[Lord Smeagle]

This + Stumbling + Any Decent Equip Spell = <3

Beatdown lockdown! Epic pic BTW, very appropriate. 9.5/10.

[Dandelo]

Thanks all for the comments, they're all appreciated and rewarded with +rep.

[Engetsu]

That reminds me..

I forgot to give you a rep for making such a good card D:

I'll give you a 1+ Rep once I'm able to do so (ran out of Reps I'm able to give out for a day )

I'll just put it down on my "to do list".

[Dandelo]

Thanks, mate.

[Dandelo]

And a bump.

"Halberd Hero" added!

[Engetsu]

I see you added a new card. Time for another review.

[b]"Halberd Hero[/b]"

[b]Name[/b]: It's cool 1.5/2
[b]Type/Attribute: [/b]It's good 2/2
[b]OCG[/b]: Slight fix you need to do "If this card is equipped with an Equip Card, you can discard 1 Warrior-Type monster to negate the effect of [b]a [/b]Equip Card [b]equipped to this card[/b]" 1.8/2
[b]Effect: [/b]The Special Summon effect is nice (works along with Crescent Warrior Princess). The Trap card immunity (by targeting) is nice, but the last effect is kinda meh. Attacking directly with a 1000 ATK monster isn't anything special, and it requires you to negate the effect of your current Equip Card to use it. Unless you have 2 Equip Cards on this card, it won't be able to do much (unless you have cards like Solidarity to give this card a needed ATK boost). Other than that, the effect is pretty good 1.8/2
[b]Balance: [/b]It's balanced. It's Special Summon and Trap targeting immunity is balanced by it's low attack. 2/2
[b]Total: [/b]9.1 out of 10

[Dandelo]

The original last effect was just to have the card be able to attack directly while equipped with an Equip Card, at the cost of discarding a Warrior. I wasn't entirely sure if that was overpowered or not, though.

[Inferno I20]

brilliant! I love how they work together? I think, but they are similar to the Vairon cards but who cares?
I love to see more of this, i would make them a tad less powerful

also, where did you get these pictures?

You're discarding 1 Warrior-Type monster from your hand to attack directly (which is kinda meh on it's own), and since this monster only has 1000 ATK, it wouldn't be overpowered imo. Plus for this card to gain a significant amount of ATK, it would need attack boosts such as Solidarity or Equip Cards like United We Stand, Mage Power etc.

Also, since there's a lot of Spell/Trap removal being played nowadays, I think it would be alright if you removed the "negate the Equip Card's effect" part. That's just my opinion though.

I guess, but if you manage to get a ton of them onto the field, you would maintain ultimate field control

In terms of having a very powerful monster on the field, then yes.

However, cards like Mirror Force, Giant Trunade etc, would easily put an end to this card, so I think it wouldn't hurt if the negation of an Equip Card was removed.

That's just my personal opinion though.

They weren't originally supposed to have synergy, because I was thinking of Hidden Armory when making Halberd Hero, but they do work together, which is fine. I've only skimmed over the existing Vairon cards, so I wouldn't know. And like I said in the original post, all image credit goes to deviantart artists. Thanks for the comment!

Will do, thank you for being so helpful. Changes have been made.

Equipment Enchantress added!

[Engetsu]

Once again, it's time for another review! This time with slight changes to how I review things.

[b]"Equipment Enchantress"[/b]

[b]Name: [/b]I like it, but it could have been better 1.5/2

[b]OCG: [/b]You need to fix it up a bit. Do so and I'll rate this higher 1.7/2

"When a Warrior-Type monster equipped with an Equip Card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. When this card is Special Summoned, you can [b]select[/b] 1 Equip Card from your Deck, [b]and equip it to [/b]1 [b]face-up [/b]Warrior-Type monster you control. If you Tribute this card for the Tribute Summon of a Warrior-Type monster, when the Summoned monster is equipped with an Equip Card, the ATK and DEF gain of that Equip Card is doubled".

[b]Effect: [/b]It has Special Summoning, so that's a plus. Once it's SS'd, it can search out Equip Cards and auto equip them to one of your Warriors, so that's pretty good. The last part of effect, is Op'ed. For example, if you were to equip a card like United We Stand once it's last effect applies, the equipped monster would gain 1600 ATK for each monster on your side of the field. This could set up for a easy FTK and just be absolute overkill. Maybe you should consider taking that out, and maybe make this card a generic Equip Searcher for Warriors? If not then at least tone down this effect to something a bit more reasonable 1.6/2
[b]
Usefulness: [/b]Well with the effect it has now, it would be a staple in Warrior Decks that use Equip Cards. This card gives an excuse for Warrior Decks to run higher leveled Warriors mainly because of it's doubling effect. While ATK doesn't really matter much in today's game anymore, it's still rather Op'ed because of how ridiculous the attack score can get for only 1 monster. It's definitely useful, but it's last effect is kinda overdoing it imo 1.7/2
[b]
Balance: [/b]It's slightly overpowered with it's last effect. Other than that it's balanced. 1.6/2
[b]
Total: 8.1/10
[/b]

[Dandelo]

I always appreciate your reviews, Engetsu. I've edited the latest card a bit, making her last effect a little less overpowered, but still good enough to give a reason to run both Equip Cards and higher-leveled Warrior-Type monsters.

Katana Counteraction added!

[DEVILMAYFREAK]

one word "Stumbling"

[Dandelo]

One word: Alrighty.

[Engetsu]

No problem, just trying to help out is all.

Anyways it's time to review your new card!

[b]
"Katana Counteraction"[/b]

[b]Name: [/b]It's good. I like it 1.7/2
[b]OCG: [/b]Add "[b]Spell" [/b]in between "Equip Card". Other than that it's good 1.8/2. (You might want to do this with your other cards, since I forgot to point out this mistake).
[b]Effect: [/b]It's kinda like Starlight Road, but to a lesser extent with burn and Equip recovery. It's good, but imo the burn effect is unneeded imo, since this card already has negation, destruction and Equip Spell recovery. If you want to keep the burn effect, then at least change it to x 200 instead of x 300. 1.6/2
[b]Usefulness: [/b]It could be useful in Warrior Equip Decks, but other than that, it's somewhat outclassed by Starlight Road. The only thing setting this card apart from SLR is that you're able to regain an Equip Spell Card, and that it's able to negate single monster destruction targeting cards (unlike SLR). 1.6/2
[b]Balance: [/b]It's not perfectly balanced, but it's good enough 1.6
[b]Total: 8.4/10


[/b]

[Dandelo]

And you help out just fine, and it's nice to have someone keeping up with the set.

And about Starlight Road, i'm not considering Synchro Monsters when making these cards, and yes, in the Synchro realm, Starlight Road outclasses. Though I can understand why the damage is unecessary, seeing as damage isn't too big of a deal. I'll more than likely take that out completely and just have the Equip Card return to your hand without having to remove the monster from play.

[/quote]

I figured as much. As for Starlight Road, it outclasses your Trap Card because it's not restricted to just Warriors. It can be used in almost any Deck, and it's basically a My Body as a Shield without a 1500 LP cost and with a Special Summon bonus. That's what I meant about this card being outclassed by it. Your card has it's uses though, and it's a rather welcome additional support to Warrior Equip Decks, which have seen much less play.

Anyways I look forward to seeing more of your cards keep up the good work.
