Quiksilver Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 So, to mark my return to the RC Section (from back in, like, 2009), a decision largely supported by my discovery of this fantastic template, I have made a Xyz Monster to share with you all. It brings new meaning to the term "hand advantage", methinks. So, here it is- [img]http://i52.tinypic.com/dvn7ex.png[/img] Lore: 2 Level 8 Monsters This card cannot be destroyed by card effects. When this card attacks; during the Damage Step only, increase this card's ATK by 300 for each card in your hand. When this card inflicts Battle Damage: you can detach 1 Xyz Material: banish one card from your opponent's hand. If their are no cards in your opponent's hand when you activate this effect: banish the top card of his deck. So, yeah, rate/hate/raeg, whatever you feel like doing. Constructive criticism is warmly welcomed. Thanks for your comments in advance! Credit for the template goes to the amazing Judas and Deathly Fiend of YMC.

CDDRodrigo Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 A nice addition to this card would be adding some protection, like can't be destroyed by card effects etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be a good addition, yes. Though it could make him nearly impossible to get over, since his effect takes care of pesky monsters with high attacks. (On your turn, at least.)

Sander Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Yeah, gotta agree with Konoe here, a Rank 8 with no protection is pretty bad actually. Give it indestructability (battle or card effects), possibly it being immune of Counter Spells like Warning. [quote name='Quiksilver' timestamp='1313682767' post='5452825']P.S.: So it seems TinyPic has made my image ginormous. Anyone got an image hosting site that doesn't? [/quote] Tinypic didn't make the card so big, that's the original size of the template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDDRodrigo Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Having just 2600 ATK still makes it vulnerable to battle destruction with some of the best monsters in the game. Which is why the effect destruction protection is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] True, true. To me, Frost Demon just seemed (semi-)easily abusable, what with Master Hyperion or even something like Barbaros. But I guess it's true. Protection probably would be good. Really? GIMP, you lied to me... [quote name='Konoe A.

Card updated with new effect, cuz I be a boss...and have nothing else to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Maybe the one that's worth it, like the banishing one. @Card: You never write out a number on the card. Instead of "banish one card", it should read "banish 1 card". The rest is perfect.

How does that even happen...anyways, thanks for the correction.[/b] The rest is perfect. Dunno what materials do you plan making this with. Graphas? [b]That's a possibility, I guess. Detach Grapha for effect, summon Dark World next turn, and get Grapha back. Nice. I was thinking more like Master Hyperion, REDMD, or perhaps even Barbaros, but that sounds like a nice combo to me.[/b][/quote] Thanks for the comments. I'll have the effect banish one from top of deck, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
