Storm Inversion

[FTW (For The Wynn)]

Well, I attempted to make a card that was interesting and could counter field nuking effects while still having a powerful and useful yet balanced card. Let's see how I did.

Activate only when a card is played that would destroy 2 or more cards on the field. Pay half of your Life Points. Negate the activation of that card and destroy it. The controller of that card must then discard their hand and draw 1 card. If that card is not a Monster, discard it.

Eeh the lore under the card is'nt the cards lore... It's another lore... But pretty balanced (I don't know) 7/10

[FTW (For The Wynn)]

dammit...I shoulda known...that's from another card I posted right before this. I'll fix it in a second.

Fixed.

I really like it! The effect is perfectly balanced if you ask me, especially the last bit. [b]I[/b] don't see any OCG flaws, but then again I'm no expert at this^^ Love the pic as well.

Name: 7/10 A little bit more creative maybe?
Pic: 10/10 Awesom!
Effect: 10/10! PERFECT!

So that's a 9/10 from me

interesting card, counters mass card removal like starlight road, only its a counter trap and causes hand destruction instead of giving you a free 1 use stardust. balanced 8/10

Thanks very much I was actually thinking about Heavy Storm at the time, and this sort of just came out, including the name...I'll try to think up a better one.

@Phantom Thanks as well.

Good card, BTW, there's just nothing for me to say that ain't been said.

[FTW (For The Wynn)]

I'm liking that Storm Inversion...I think I'll change it to that, thanks.

[Lord Smeagle]

Glad I could help.

Also, I realized why I like this card: Not only can you use it as a counter, you can counter your own cards too, drop your hand (for Fabled/Darkworld abuse) and use it as a last-ditch effort to draw a card that could save you. So it's actually several times more versatile than Stardust Road!

[FTW (For The Wynn)]

Yep. I wanted it to be that kind of versatile, make the effect worth the price.

Love it! 10/10

[sebihp2007]

Hmm.. complete hand discard at a cost of 1/2 of LP with a conditional activation.. I'm trying to compare it to starlight road and to solemn Judgment at the same time.. I don't know why, but I can't either say that it's OP, or that it's balanced.. Still, i like the idea .. Maybe the last part of the effect can be scratched, though ..

sry, but I just feel like its a 7/10

[FTW (For The Wynn)]

That's fine, your opinion is welcomed, but you must explain why. Otherwise, that will be marked as spam.

[1SDAN]

well, it just feels like it, but I do agree the last part can be scratched, and I wouldn't use it if it wasn't cause, it's like you're making the opponent's heavy storm attack your hand, I just dont like it 2 muck

[FTW (For The Wynn)]

Actually, if your opponent activates Heavy Storm (or another field nuking card), they lose their hand. However, I suppose I could scratch out that last sentence.

[1SDAN]

I didn't know they had 2 discard their hand 2 play heavy storm...

[FTW (For The Wynn)]

No no, that's not how the card works. I see what happened, you made a simple mistake. This card is made as an anti-field nuke. The idea works like this: Your opponent (or even you) activates a card that would destroy 2 or more cards on the field, for example Lightning Vortex, Heavy Storm, Mirror Force, etc. This card negates that, destroys the card and then makes the controller of the destroyed card discard their hand and draw a card.

[1SDAN]

yes, i understood that exactly without your help (sry if i sound mean)
