Superfluous Parasite


Recommended Posts

[size="3"][center][b]So, I made this just now. I thought I'd get back into posting cards in here since I haven't done it in ages. So basically, this is my first card since I retired from here a year ago. Tell me what you think![/b][/center]

[i][b]"During your Standby Phase, if this card is in your hand, and your opponent controls 2 or more face-up monsters and you control no monsters, you can Special Summon this card. Once per turn, select 1 monster your opponent controls, then reduce this card's ATK to 0. The selected monster loses ATK equal to the original ATK of this card. If a monster's ATK was reduced to 0 by this card's effect, destroy this card and the selected monster, then send 1 Insect-Type monster from your hand to the Graveyard. If you cannot, banish this card from your Graveyard."[/b][/i]
[/spoiler][/center]

[b][center]P.S. I know it doesn't really appear as an Insect-Type, and I already would consider it a Fiend-Type, but since it was a Parasite, I figured I'd make it an Insect. :)[/center][/b]

I like this card its balanced, but the pic looks like it could be a fiend. The only issue i have with its effect is that it harms itself, maybe the whole reducing to 0 effect doesn't work on itself but other card on your field, so then that way it stays on your field as a super weak monster, or pull out some cool strategies with it. in other words this is an awesome card. keep up good work. and you have inspired me too start posting cards.

Thank you for the review. I really appreciate it. And yeah, if you noticed my P.S., I made I stated that I knew it was more Fiend-Looking, and it's actually meant for several strategies, since monsters with 0 ATK typically have a lot of support cards. And yeah, even though it reduces its ATK to 0, your dropping another monster 2200 ATK points, so that's pretty handy.
I'm glad I could inspire you, that really makes me feel special, haha. Well, I can't wait to see your card. <3

Thanks again,
MyStiK.

I'd suggest getting rid of the sending Insects from your hand to the Graveyard. Heavenly Wolf King Blue Syrius dorps 2400 when he dies, and he's much easier to summon.
Also, I'd suggest when he's destroyed, you could send 1 Insect-Type monster to your Graveyard.

8.5/10 hmm. yep..that sounds fair :D

[b]I know he's easier to Summon and all, but I don't know, I just didn't want to overpower him too much. I'll make the edit though. So, just get rid of the banish effect basically, and then when he's destroyed, you can send 1 Insect-Type monster to the Graveyard. I suppose if I did that, he could be combo'd with Pinch Hopper. :D[/b]

[b]Well, I figured that, first you send the top 3 cards of the Deck to the Graveyard, then you have to reduce his ATK to 0, and since his ATK is over 1500, he'll typically be destroyed by cards like BTH, and such. But, I think I could probably make that change.[/b]

I like the pic.
OCG seems good.
The effect is balanced, and useful.
It's a good card, I like the Parasite idea.
Pic, name, effect all match.

10/10 Great card.

[b]Thank you very much. I'm glad that you liked my card. Expect many more to arrive.[/b]

It's OK. It's a one-for-one with plenty of ATK. Using its effect will always blow it up, so you might as well reduce it to "You can destroy this card and 1 monster your opponent controls". The discard makes the effect a -1 and wouldn't activate the effect of Pinch Hopper, and you'd have to show your opponent your hand if you couldn't do it, so this card isn't as usable or as splashable as The Fiend Megacyber, let alone CyDra. Hm.

I suppose I COULD agree with what your saying, but what if your opponent has a monster with over 2200 ATK? That's the point I was making to it. And true, it is a -1, but I suppose he has pretty decent positives in my opinion that they would balance out.

Can you select a Set monster? Then how the ATK is reduced?

I could fix that up. Haha, I suppose I didn't think that part through. ;D
