Switch Summoning

[~British Soul~]

With Exceed monsters coming out, i thought about making a new set of monsters called "Switch Monsters".

[b]Switch Monsters:[/b]
- Type/Switch (ie. Dragon/Switch)
- They have an Orange frame like effect monsters and Spirit monsters and reside in the main deck.
- They have a level so cards like Gravity Bind [b]will[/b] work on them.

[b]How Switch Summoning Works:[/b]
- You return 1 Monster you control to your deck, to Switch Summon the Switch Monster from you hand. This is classed as a Special Summon.
- Some Switch Monsters require a certain level of monster, whilst others may require 2 monsters.
- When a Switch Monster is Switch Summoned, they get their effects. The Switch Monsters however [b]can[/b] also be Normal Summoned, but they [b]Won't[/b] get their effects if summoned this way.
- If a Switch Monster is destroyed (by battle or card effect) then you can add a level 4 or lower monster from your deck to your hand
- If you use a Switch monster for a Switch Summon (i.e return the Switch Monster to your deck to Switch Summon a new Switch monster) when the new Switch monster is destroyed (by battle or card effect then you can Special summon a level 4 or lower monster from your deck. A Switch Monster summoned this way [b]does[/b] get their effects.

I will do support for these cards, but for now here are a few

Switch Idol
EARTH/*1/Rock/Effect
If this card is Used for a Switch Summon, Draw 1 card.
500/500

Voltic Maiden
LIGHT/*4/Thunder/Switch
This card can be Switch Summoned by returning 1 monster you control to your Deck. All LIGHT monsters you control are unaffected by the effect(s) of Trap Cards.
1800/900

Bellflame Appentice

This card can be Switch Summoned by returning 1 monster you control to your Deck. When this card is Switch Summoned you can send 1 "FIRE" monster from your Deck to the Graveyard, to inflict 600 Damage to your Opponent.
1500/1100

Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Mech
EARTH/*4/Machine/Switch
This card can be Switch Summoned by returning 1 monster you control to your Deck. When this card is Destroyed, you can add 1 "Gadget" monster from your deck to your hand

more to come too as well as more support

It kind of sound like tagging out from G.B. (Gladiator Beasts) But it sound cool. I might start making some.

[wiithepeople]

This feels a lot like my Reverse Summon Mechanic. Very nice! But if you want to work on some new stuff with me, I have a few ideas.

Like this one:

Spring Synchron
WATER/*3/Machine/Switch
This card can only be Switch Summoned by returning 1 Tuner monster you control to your Deck. When this card is Switch Summoned, it is treated as a Tuner monster, and you can increase or decrease this card's Level by 1.

[CNo.101 S.H. Death Knight]

this pretty good, i felt the last part of special summoning a level 4 or less monster to the field, as level 4 is number that prefixed, i was thinking something along the line like special summon a monster whose level is equal or less of the destroyed switch monster. as far i know that condition like tuner, synchro and exceed doesn't consist of set number of their own, as they follow by the set numbers of monster's rules and limit. for level 4 or less monsters is more like you allow a special summon of a monster that can be normal summoned within level restriction of normal summon's rule than to apply set amount of level. it just that synchro, tuner and others are just sub-rules along to the main rules of monster.

[~British Soul~]

@wii: that's a good idea you have there, i like that monster

@Y&A: the thing is, the summoning of a monster with a level lower than the switch monster is good to some extent, but since i have a level 2 and level 3 switch monsters, it'd be a bit restrictive, so what i [b]might[/b] do is change it to [b]SS any Switch Monster[/b], instead of SS any level 4 or lower monster. Also most searchers have the ability of only SS or Adding a level 4 or lower monster, and if i had a for example a level 8 Switch Monster that was summoned by returning a Switch Monster and it was destroyed then SS a level 8 or lower monster would be a broken effect.

here's a new support card guys

Switch Merchant
DARK/*4/Spellcater/Effect
You can discard this card to the Graveyard to add 1 Switch Monster from your Deck to your Hand.
1500/1000

The idea of Switch monsters is good. I may make a few to experiment with gameplay. I'm retired from dueling until I make my first CCG set or YVD X is released. But I will be sure to give your idea a try.

yes i agree with that actually so what you can do instead for using switch monster for switch summon purpose, after it was destroy, special summon a monster equal or less of the destroy monster's level from the deck but treat the special summon with the normal summon clause. so level 4 and lower will be freebie but level 5 and higher have to follow the normal summon procedure. since they're from your deck which is a little broken itself because you can choose any monster at all so you should restrict it with the normal summon clause. what do you think?

[Horu]

Y&A: That is actually a very good idea.

aw you making me blushed man xD.

i was thinking it would be a nice reversal for a change in normally Normal summon been separated from special summon clause for long time so a nice change for it a special summon treated along with normal summon clause.

[Horu]

That would a nice twist. Also, with that clause, you may want an effect that limits the number of Switch monsters you can have on the field or how many can be destroyed during the turn.

@bolded: no just no, if i have a level 8 switch monster destroyed, and i want to summon a level 6 for example, i do NOT want to tribute a monster to summon it, and i don't want to treat the SS as a NS either

@Horu: i don't want want to restrict the number of Switch Monsters i control or how many i can have destroyed in a turn, it was a good idea thugh

[Horu]

We should continue this brainstorm

[~British Soul~]

brainstorm? i think not

i have a level specific Switch monster ready

Hope Knight
LIGHT/*4/Warrior/Switch
This card can be Switch Summoned by returning 1 level 4 monster you control to your Deck. Once per turn, if this card would be attacked you can discard a LIGHT monster to negate the Attack
2000/1100

also i have more rulings to Switch monsters
- If a Switch monster is used as a fusion material, or synchro material, when the fusion or synchro monster is sent to the graveyard you can Special Summon a Switch monster from your deck that is the same level of the monster you used as a material, in this case the monster [b]will[/b] get their effect

[AsterikcAde]

So the mechanic is similar to the Glad Tag for the Gladiator Beasts huh?

[~British Soul~]

in a sense it is a bit, i was thinking of doing the switch summon to the hand instead of the deck though

[Horu]

These would be quite useful in a Stardust deck. Nothing beats getting 2 free monsters.
