Boss Z Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 The picture is freakishly incredible The effect looks good, and it implies massive draw power without actually giving any note-able advantage, as you won't know what you're opponent has face-down I feel like its incredibly easy to set up, but it does rely heavily upon the opponent, and if they know you have it they'll be careful what they set Sadly, its very much against many of the less powerful Meta Decks, as they typically run a heavy Trap Line-up, I'm talking about Worms and Gladiator Beasts, and even Gravekeepers...

newhat Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Seems all right. Drawing it on the first turn would pretty much guarantee its Summon. It's a good WIND card. If its final effect is an Activated Effect, it's too powerful, since your opponent can't use Flip Effects to kill it and will be afraid to use Dimensional Prison because he or she won't get to draw afterward. You can attack with this, wipe your opponent's field, then bounce it with Falcon or Birdman to activate Divine Wind, leaving your opponent at a massive disadvantage. If its final effect is a Lingering Effect, my only issue is that its ATK is a bit too high. Why is it that almost every set has an easy-to-Summon card strong enough to kill Stardust or Shi En? Try 2200. As for the name, how about "Gryph of the Squall"? It is born of a sudden storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, every monster must be strong enough to kick Shi Ens butt, so he never sees play again I consider it... though it should at least be able to run over a Brionac... how does 2400 sound to you?

newhat Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 2400 will do. I honestly have no idea what to call this thing. It's not like Konami has a record of self-evident card names. Armed Gryphon Rider will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 2600 is fine as it is however the effect of returning all the set cards to their respective decks can get OPed, even at the cost of card drawing (since it can benefit you as well) I would have allowed only up to 2 or 3 set cards returned this way 8.4/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Thanks for the feedback, I decided to keep the effect as it is since the Summon itself still relies mostly on the opponent's actions, which is usually a bad thing, even though it can be fulfilled quite easily. Reduced the ATK a little and reduced the Level by 1, so it's (at least in theory) possible to Synchro Summon with this card as material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcher boyz Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 It's a semi-situational Trunade that potentially lets you asplode into the nuts main phase 2. A card being terrible past turn 1 in a format where most players don't play Dustshoot is the death knell for playability. Other stuff: Tempo goes screw when this guy is around. It lets you recycle cards from the hand as long as you set them. Overall, a massive [b][size="7"]eh[/size][/b]. OCG: This card cannot be Special Summoned except by its own effect.

TheBigCheese Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 I really like this card, it highly ballanced and very finely tuned. I enjoy the counter attack element that this card has to offer. I know you are one for constructive criticism Spoon so I shall do my best to point out what you may want to revise. I actually believe that it may be slightly OP'd as it is a lavish luxury indeed to Special Summon such a powerful monster with the ability to clean a field of set cards. To make it slightly fairer (in my eyes) I would change it to stop it from attacking your opponent directly ooor, I would make it weaker, perhaps 1800/1900 ATK. However that is only my oppion it is still a great card not to mention with a vivid and gripping image. Now to the name. Personally I would call it "Gryphor The Staff" because that is the name that jumps out at me. Great card yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chance that your opponent sets 2 cards in 1 turn after that are quite slim. It happens infrequently, unless you're talking about GKs/ GBs or summat. You go Main Phase 1, attack, trunade everything, then go FishFTK with no chance of being warninged or something. Dustshoot is also terrible past turn 1. No, considering how situational the card is. It's still not very playable. Some kind of additional ss effect would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
