Bringing Back the Chains - Chained Plasma Dragon


Recommended Posts

I always liked the cards that dealt with Chain Links. So here's something similar:
Chained Plasma Dragon

Lore: This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by it's own effect. When there is a Chain Link of 3 or more cards, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. Your opponent cannot activate cards in response to this Special Summon. Whenever there is a Chain Link of 2 or more cards, discard 1 card to increase this card's ATK by the amount of cards in the chain x 400. If this card's ATK becomes greater than 3200, decrease this card's Level by 2 and reduce this card's ATK to 0. Once per turn, when there is a Chain Link of cards, you can select 1 card in that Chain Link and Negate that card's effect and destroy it. If this card is used as a Synchro Material Monster, add this card to your Deck. Then shuffle your Deck.

Comments and criticism welcomed.
OCG updated thanks to Mr. Striker.

Great card Star. I gave both OCG versions since I was nice. I would have only posted the New OCG. Keep it up.

Would you please explain a little more?

Apologies for my rather frank approachs to the card. Keep in mind that I review cards in the matter on how they would fare in the metagame. Frankly, I believe that the people in RC should to the same, because that's what RC stands for, Realistic Cards.

Anyways, the card is bad because just to Summon it, you have to use 2 of your cards. Sadly, it's not worth it. Furthermore, it's just weak in terms of ATK. The ATK gain is just too situational, because it requires 5+ cards to get a decent ATK for it.

Also, the fact that the last effect, being optional, makes it useless as well. Why may you ask? Because it misses the timing. You're already discarding 1 card for the ATK gain, so you've missed the chance to use the negation effect. I might be mistaken on this one, but I'm pretty certain that I'm not. And if I am, well, better luck next time.

Lastly, I say this, just get rid of the ATK gaining effect and give the card some bloody decent stats.

As I stated before, the way the ATK is raised on this card, is just too inefficient, and with the other problems I brought up, the current version of the card is not worth to take up a slot of the Realistic Cards section.

I know that it's ATK increase isn't going to be a much of a game changer but at least he showed creativity in his card which I find lacking in the RC section but don't get me wrong as much as I hate seeing simple cards with short useful effects some are pretty good and can help change this game. I like it when card makers be creative with their cards like this one its a refresher from the typical RC cards whenever or not it's useful.
