This card cannot be placed on the field. If this card is in your hand you lose 2000 Lifepoints each of your and your opponents main phase 1. You may discard this card from your hand during your or your opponents Main Phase 1 (before receiving damage). If this card is in your hand for more then 3 turns then you win the duel. If this card is sent to your Graveyard by your opponent, you recover the Lifepoints you lost by this cards effect.

Well. Erm. To the card rate system!

Name: Not the snappiest but original. 4/5
Pic: The way I see it... not great. Doesn't look very... Sagey? 2/5
OCG: duel=Duel , Lifepoints=Life Points. Everything else looks weird, but right. 3/5
Stats: Considering you can't play it, I suppose it's fine. 3/5
Creativity: We'll you've certainly thought about it, and the effect seems very original. 9/10
Effect: Instant Duel win = no-no. I know you tried to balance it, but cards like Last Turn and Victory Dragon are banned for a reason. Sorry, but it's 4/10.

25/40 or 6.25/10

ok well i thought that i would give it a shot anyway

[Just Incredible]

Its original, but like Skiz said, instant win=Tournemant FAIL. But, factoring everything else in, its still a 6/10

[lewis atherton]

well the main idea was for an instant win also i think the effect would maybe let it in a tournement as the draw back is servere and you could lose a lot of life points and i mean a lot if not used properly. and maybe not being used in a tornement but for fun i think it would be an interesting card to play with in your deck. And ovs the instant win is the focus of the card so the 6 out of 10 doesnt really mean anything i want the card to be rated as it would a real card, and if you feel it would just be banned dont just put that comment on the originality of the card aswell and the uniquness.

I lost the meaning of that halfway through. Still, you always have the ability to discard it yourself, or you can get your LP back when your opponent destroys it. Therefore, LP loss is optional. Still insta-ban.

no if you discard it the damage you have taken remains pluss 2000 x3 =6000 lp so you need it in your hand immidiatly or the effect wont even worbecause you may not have enough life points for the effect to work theirfore useless

Fix'd. (+1)

I refer you to "Instant win = Instaban"
I want to bring up a combo. Fill the Deck with add to hand searchers and LP regain cards + this. 3 turns = win, therefore INSTABAN.
