A twist on the weekly contest!

Rules
1: All general YCM rules apply.
2: Serious card submissions.
3: Written cards accepted but would prefer pictures since art is provided.
4: I prefer cards PMed to me rather then posted here. When contest ends I will post all entries.
5: 3 qualities I score based upon- creativity, balance, and playability.

Entry Fee = 1 point.

Prizes
1st: 20 points + 2 reps.
2nd: 10 point + 1 reps.
3rd: 5 points.

Deadline = Monday May 16th.

Task
I post a normal monster. Send me a retrained version with the same attribute, type, ATK, DEF, and level but with an effect added. You may add any special effect type such as tuner, union, gemini, spirit, flip, etc. Also you can even make it into a ritual (must send ritual card as well), fusion, synchro, or even exceed (same amount of stars). Before it was up to 1 but because I am adding all the additional card types you can now send up to 3 optional support cards if you wish.

This week's card will be.....

Charubin the Fire Knight

Ok so this week we have an effect-less fusion. You can keep it as a fusion with the same materials, a fusion with different materials which could include generic materials, could be a removal fusion like VWXYZ series, could be a contact fusion like Gladiator beasts and Neo-spacians, could be a synchro, could be a exceed, could be a ritual monster with spell card, or just an effect monster with the same stats.

If you use a fusion then you might want to send in the extra support cards.

Thanks AngryBird for the cropped picture.

Monster Egg + Hinotama Soul
This card cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon. Once per turn, you can remove from play 1 FIRE monster in your Graveyard to change the battle postion of 1 monster your opponent controls to face-up Defense Position. This card gains ATK equal to the ATK of the removed from play monster. During battle between this attacking card and a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of this card, inflict the difference as Damage to your opponent.
[/spoiler]
I like the remove to switch battle position and the piercing. But it gains the ATK of the removed monster forever? Just remove Ultimate Obedient Fiend and you have a 4600ATK piercer with no draw-back. Next turn remove another and it just gets insane. Maybe if it was only till the end of the turn or the ATK increase was just based on level times something. But the current boost is way too high despite how I really like the other effects.

Rank 3
Pyro/Effect/Exceed
[1100/800]
2xLevel 3 Monsters
While this card is face-up on the field, each time a Exceed Monster(s) is Exceed Summoned, draw 1 card for each. Once per turn, you can remove 1 Exceed Material Monster from this card to Special Summon 1 monster from either player's Graveyard. Its effects are negated.
[/spoiler]
Wohoo an exceed monster! Always a bold entry (until the next monster type comes out). What we have here is the exceed version of T.G. Hyper Librarian mixed with a Monster Reborn that negates effects on two turns. Well I feel neither of these effects really fit the flavor of the card. Also the drawing effect by itself doesn't seem to powerful but the Reborn seems very powerful even if the effect is negated. Also the reborn can lead to more exceeds and more drawing. A neat idea but probably not the best mesh-up of everything.

I have said it before, I love ritual monsters! I have also said "This is not a real ritual monster" and that statement proves true for this too. Despite how the anime does it or how it seems like it should be, a ritual spell card never requires a specific monster to be tributed and also 100 LP????? Really? How is paying 100LP part of the cost? As for the actual effect of the card I do like it except for the dying part if it activates its second effect.

LORE: "Monster Egg" + "Hinotama Soul"
This monster may attack your opponent's Life Points directly. When your opponent destroys this monster with their own monster, your opponent takes damage equal to the number of the attacking monster's level x200.
[/spoiler]
Not bad. A simple but useful effect. The sad thing is it just doesn't seem competitive enough. Be good if released when Legend of Blue-Eyes was but in today's meta it is a bit underwhelming. Still needing the same specific fusion material but only netting you a direct attacker (with a good ATK mind you) with a mild burn effect. Seems like it would sadlly only be played in Fusion Gate heavy deck. But under-powered is typically a lot better then over-powered, definitely not a bad card.

I don't get the point of the first effect. I understand it but why? A side-deck card for when your fire deck fights Reptiliannes? I like the second effect of special summoning the original from the extra deck but I really wish it had a better first effect.

A very simple and straight-forward effect but a beautiful one. Fire Trooper mixed with Magical Blast. But you don't need to activate right when its summoned. So you could use its low ATK to smash a weak DEF-position monster and then burn main phase 2. Very good card!

1 "Flamevell" monster + 1 "Flamevell" monster
This card can only be Special Summoned from your Extra Deck by tributing the above cards you control. (You do not use "Polymerization".) This card can only be used for the Synchro Summon of a "Flamevell" monster. When this card is Summoned, inflict 700 damage to your opponent. Increase this card's ATK by 200x the number of "Flamevell" monsters you control.
[/spoiler]
Hmm very interesting. Nice to see the flamvell touch. Plus it is a tribute-fusion? Not even removal, I guess you got to keep the materials ready for Rekindling. The synchro-restriction is interesting too, a shame they are not more Flamvell synchros. Has a nice burn effect and even a minor ATK boost but I think unless you use rekindling right after you get him out that the ATK boost won't be too high. Not bad.

1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
If this card would be destroyed by battle, you can roll a die. If it lands on an odd number, destroy this card. If it lands on an even number, this card is not destroyed and the attacking monster is removed from play. Every time a monster is removed from play by this cards effect, place 1 Mace Counter on this card. This card gains 500 ATK for every Mace counter on it. You can remove 2 Mace counters from this card to inflict 1100 points of damage to your opponents Life Points.
[/spoiler]
And now a synchro. I do not understand why it is a dice roll and not a coin flip hen the chances are the same, just the choice of support card I guess. This thing will never have 2 counters on it though. The first attack you have a 50% chance to get one or die. Say you luck out then the next attack has the same ratio. So that is like 25% to get 2 counters. Whole effect seems very wishy-washy.

1: TCG Warrior
2: Daft Punk
3: Dwarven King

I was going to take a break from RTV to do another contest but since I am going to a con this weekend I figured I should do the thing we are used to instead of starting something new right before I leave for a few days. So thank you to everyone that participated and good luck in Retrain That Vanilla #7!
