Time to put Vanillas in the spotlight

[Red Joker]

[center][b]Since I've been working on my Planetary Archetype so much, I wanted to break away and give some support to other monsters, this card being for Normal Monsters.[/b]

[i]Lore:[/i] [b]When a Normal Monster is Summoned, place 1 "Flare Counter" on this card. (Max 12) You can remove any number of "Flare Counters" from this card to Special Summon 1 Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck with a Level equal to the amount of Counters removed. When this card is destroyed, you can place any send 1 Synchro Monster Summoned by this Card's Effect to return it to your hand.[/b][/center]

Oh jeez~
Op. Greatly OP. Almost possibly bordering broken. Recycling Normals is quite easy. Run this with Gemini since they are treated as Normal Monsters. Birth Right, staple a Cry Havoc!, Gemini Soldier, theres plenty more to support this and give you quick counters. You can also pull a simple Dark Hole for when your ready to swarm. Meaning this is a possible OTK card. You mill or dump your Normal monsters then pull a quick normal monster swarm then somewhere in there trigger Torrential Tribute to send them back. Then continue this with a Dark Hole next turn then according to your wording you can Special Summon multiple Synchro Monsters in this one turn.

Also your last sentence makes 0 sense what so ever.

O, em, jee.

I can think of so many ways to break this card....

To get anything decent, you have to Summon 5 monsters.
It's decentish with Turbulance and that Agent of Creation, but outside of that I don't see this actually being used.

Not that hard to achieve =/ Macro Mill then use RfDD. 5 monsters 5 counters Catastor

Doesn't that sound a bit convoluted for just ONE card? o_O

._. TBH here, it's really hard to tell if you're serious. You've just proposed what sounds like "RfDD+Macro+Self-mill(to consistently get 5 of your own RFG'd, this is probably 3 cards)+This."

That makes, I expect, at least 6 cards, one of which is limited, some of which are traps and many of which can probably be destroyed to stop everything.

To get Catasor.

You spent 6ish cards to get Catasor, while also stuffing your Deck with enough Normal Monsters to RFG them consistently.

The other player could have just used Exodia - 5 cards that aren't destroyable, aren't traps to slow the whole thing down, and do a lot more than just Cata, and all the parts are fairly searchable. You can also use nothing but draw power in the rest of your Deck so it's consistent, and doesn't require stuffing your Deck with very many normals or any self-mill.

Exodia, even with those benefits, is considered pretty terrible.

And really, in the combo, "card that Summons 5 monsters + card that can Summon 1 monster IF I just Summoned 5 monsters" which card is probably more broken?

E-Heros. Voltic. Possible combos?

I've played Voltic Heros. They're much better without any of the Normal ones. If I wanted to synch in them, throwing in Gale, Grow-Up and PSZ would seem like much more sensible choices. I stick by my thought that this is currently too slow. Possibly more useful if it added 2 per Summon. Possibly.
