For the most part, what Psychic Almighty said. Why would I lose a monster to give my other monster the same stats and effect, when I can just keep both monsters anyways, and not have to risk a Dimensional Prison effectively wiping 2 monster off the field instead of one? I'm also confused about how exactly the effect works. Does the equipped monster gain ATK/DEF equal to the tributed monster's ATK/DEF, or do they become the tributed monster's ATK/DEF?

k, here is my reasoning.
They gain it, they do not become the same. Uses for this card include...
For example adding a card that cannot be targetted to spirit reaper...
adding a card that can direct attack to spirit reaper...
adding a card that can attack as many times as they have monsters to airknight...
adding some ATK to red moon babe and perhaps making it uneffected by traps...

the amount of combos is practically endless.

You do realize that Spirit Reaper will die just by being equipped to this card, right?

Ummm........
Pretty pointless, you're just losing a monster and giving another monster the exact same stats. Basicly just losing a monster. 3/10

Even something like taking control of an opponents monster, tributing it and gaining its ATK and effect is one of many things you could do with this card.

This card would cause so much confusion if it were ever made. the possible combos are endless and many of them would end up contradicting each other and prob lead to some rule-breaking and game-breaking effects.

Imagine this situation.

You have a Machina Force and a Scrap Recycler that you just normal summoned on your field and 2000 LP.

Your opponent has a Red Dragon Archfiend and a Call of the Haunted face-down on his field and 3000 LP.

Now Machina Force can easily take out RDA but that CotH will bring it back and it will attack Scrap Recycler and take you out.

The Recycler makes a hole straight to your LP. But if you play this card you can tribute MchFrc to make ScrRcy as strong as it is and close up that hole.

This way even if they do bring it back there will be little they can do.



In short, think about all of a card's possibilities first. Anyway i like it 8/10. -2 because the artwork could be better and effect monster should be capitalized.

No, there is many combos with this card, not for sure meaning it would have game-breaking effects. If somebody can come up with a game-breaking combo, then I would listen. Otherwise, I see no evidence.

Can a card directly chain itself?

One example with spirit reaper. (you could use him if you don’t target him, but tribute him)
Use this on a card which has the effect: This card cannot be destroyed if it is targeted by an effect. And tribute spirit reaper. You now have a card with 2 contradicting effects. Who’s to say which one takes priority.

Reading this card at first, the immediate idea that popped into my head was "Man! This is the 1 card that the Watt monsters have needed!"
If THAT were the case, it wouldn't need to be an Equip Spell.

Since that ISN'T the case, I can see this card being very good (glad I read the card effect properly, as opposed to some people), but I'm sure there's a few cases this will have a mad power loop.
A couple of fun combos I thought of were:
*Tributing DAD to not only give another Monster you control an extra 2800 ATK and 1000 DEF, but 1 extra shot for DAD's effect (DAD itsef).
*I was going to point out a specific Monster with a Piercing effect, but ANY piercer that gains more ATK would benefit from this card (say, Yamato Dragon + any Parshath).

The only other thought I have for this is: would tributing a Tuner Monster make the equipped Monster a Tuner as well? By tributing a Union, Toon, or Spirit Monster, their effects woud be passed on too...
