Just an interesting idea...

[FTW (For The Wynn)]

Well, anyway, I made this card for a contest, but I want to know how people think of it. I think it's pretty cool, but I have no idea.

This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned by the effect of "Marauding Captain". During the turn this card is Special Summoned, you cannot use this card as Synchro Material for a Synchro Summon. Your opponent cannot select another Warrior-Type monster you control as an attack target. You can Tribute this card to negate the activation of a Spell or Trap that would destroy 2 or more cards you control and destroy that card.

As this card is summoned with Marauding Captain, wouldn't that make one of those perfect circle defence things (I don't know the terminology - like when you have two Magicians Valkyrie out protecting each other).

The cancel effect is very good.

I kinda like this card.

[FTW (For The Wynn)]

Pretty much, the idea works just like Magician's Valkyria. A lot of people who play Marauding Captain like to summon a second Captain with the first Captain's effect, which prevents your opponent from attacking them. Basically it's a lockdown.

[Bahamut - Envoy of the End]

Hmm, never thought about Marauding Captain that way. I've always just used it for the bonus summon.

I'm usually quite good at finding hidden uses as well (facepalm). Ok then.

Decent Toolbox card, get out with a Captain or two and you can tribute this to keep the lock going if you get Lightning Vortexed or something like that. Could be quite handy, but reliant on Marauding Captain. Could easily be a dead draw.
Still, I like it.

8/10. Useful and playable.

[FTW (For The Wynn)]

Actually, usually I wouldn't have thought of anything like this, but I was perusing some of the other members' cards and I saw one that Browarod made, and it was a support for an existing card. I wanted to try to make something else like that and expand my horizons. That's how this card came into existence.

I actually wanted it to have the potential to dead draw, for balancing purposes. Also, not just that, but it is also a Tuner so after your opponent's next turn you should have a good chance for a level 7 Synchro.

I really like that part (in red)
You might know why. hehe
The idea to support Marauding Captain is a good one. The effect seems pretty balanced to me. The OCG is flawless, i'd say.
The pic is nice, the effect makes sense. The originality... fits to me

overall a nice 9/10

Thanks for the rate Dr.Gentle.

That sort of thing is why I had to rethink my card rating system.

First, that sort of emphasis on ATK/DEF etc, is pointless.
Secondly, I think he took the ATK/DEF seperately from the rest of the card.

[Just Incredible]

Actually, my mistake. That rating was supposed to be 7/10. Dunno how I got 4 mixed up with seven, but yeah, thats what the rating should be (I'dve liked to see it have a bit more ATK points, like maybe 1100? Your card, not mine though.)

[FTW (For The Wynn)]

lol, alright, I can understand a typo. Anyway, I will consider raising the ATK a bit, but this card shouldn't have too much because I want it to be weaker than Captain and have a stronger effect to make up for it.

Okay, I can understand that, but it's just how I rate things. (The ATK, DEf and Element(Forogot type) are all thrown into one rating.)

It's a good thing to bring up, but for me, 60% of my card rate used to revolve around the name/pic/stats.

That led to a lot of 8's that should have barely been 7's.

[Lexadin]

Mhh, I don't really like the fact that it's an Tuner, but whatever.

Well I can see people running this, though hard to Summon, when you finally get it on the field an almost entire lockdown is set.

Only one error that I can spot "of a Spell or Trap" = "of a Spell or Trap [b]Card[/b]", otherwise great OCG.

I would give it a 8/10. Fixed a 8.2/10.

[FTW (For The Wynn)]

...I can't believe I forgot to put in Card...oh well, I'll edit it in a bit. Thanks for the rate Lexadin!

[Lexadin]

Np, it's a free +1 post anyways. Just like this.

[Sander]

The fact that it cannot be Normal Summoned or Set makes it too situational and underpowered. And on the turn that it's Special Summoned, it cannot be used for Synchro material? My statement stands.

[Archwing]

Name: Is nice - Like pretty woman, owait it is pretty woman!.... 9.5/10
Pic: It give my eyes great satisfaction.... 9.5/10
OCG/Grammer: Looks fine to me
Effect:[quote] you cannot use this card as Synchro Material for a Synchro Summon.[/quote] OM NOM NOM! DOWN WITH THE DIRTY SYNCHROS!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHA *Cough* I mean, i like the effect, its very nice
>__>
<__<
Balance: Id say its almost more to the UP'ed side, its kinda hard to summon.... but IDK i guess most warrior decks would have Marauding Captainan anyway.....
The little Extras: Every thing looks like its there!
Id say this is a [size="4"][color="#00FF00"]A-[/color][/size] Far above average, no real complaints from me about it
And of course with any "A" comes a rep ;D

[FTW (For The Wynn)]

Thanks Archwing!
