IceDorago Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 [left][left]I am amazed I have never actually bothered to post a card here. [img]http://i663.photobucket.com/albums/uu354/IceWaveX/FireshotDragon.png?t=1313943153[/img] Lore: 1 Dragon-type Tuner monster + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters Once per turn: You can banish one Level 6 or lower monster in your Graveyard to select and activate one of these effects: *Inflict damage to your opponent equal to half of the banished monster's ATK. This card cannot attack your opponent directly on a turn this effect is activated. *Decrease the ATK of a face-up monster your opponent controls by half the DEF of the banished monster until the End Phase. Suggestions/OCG fixes please? [/left][/left] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Hm. I'm trying to decide whether it's overpowered or not... Idk, I feel like if it has an ability like that, then it should not be able to attack. Er, well. I guess the most you could really inflict wouldn't surpass 1500. And the ATK drop would, at most be 1500. Fine, the card is okay, I just feel like it needs some sort of restriction or cost. It is a dragon-type. For me, you can never go wrong with that.

IceDorago Posted August 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 That's why I didn't give it extremely high ATK for a Lv.8, and made it so the tuner needs to be a Dragon, but I suppose it could use a restriction, but I'm not sure what.

[/quote] You could make it so that the monster banished needs to be a certain type (since you already made it need a dragon tuner, that'd probably be the most obvious choice) 2600 may not be so high, but remember that its ATK can lower an opponent's monster's ATK as well, so technically speaking, it really is a bit higher.

IceDorago Posted August 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Making it dragons would probably make the most sense, but then again, since the Tuner has to be a Dragon, you're probably running this in a dragon deck already so it won't really be too restrictive. Maybe "only one monster you control can declare an attack this Battle Phase"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 That might be best, your other choice may be to increase its ATK. If you do decide to limit it to dragons, I would suggest looking at 'Junk Berserker' it allows you to lower an Opponent's ATK and not have any other negative side effects. Not to mention its ATK is 2700 and it demolishes DEF pos monsters. I'd say just limiting what cards you can banish would be restricting enough to make it a balanced card.

IceDorago Posted August 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Comparing this to Berserker, I'd say they might be about equal-ish. Berserker has you remove a Junk monster to reduce equal to the ATK. Fireshot lets you do that with any monster, but only reduces by half. Maybe I'll have a limitation on the first effect being that you can't attack directly with this card on the turn you use that effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Good point. That limitation makes sense, it's not so restricting that it defeats the purpose of the card, but it also does not give it too much leeway. One other suggestion, that really may just be preference, would be that the effect would only last until the end of the turn, rather than be a permanent thing.

As for the card, if you wish - It's not of any use. After balancing the card, you need to think of it's usefulness, and there almost none, decks which must have many banished cards are usually never based on Dragons, and Dimensional Fissure does it too good already.

[/quote] You have a point there, but you must also realize that many Dragon cards, specifically the main ones (REDMD and Wyvern), involve monsters being banished. Even if this card does not work into a current deck, it could certainly help create a new type of dragon deck involving banishment.

Marco Polo Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Burns revolve around things which just stay on the field and burn, without attacking. Burns are also not so used with Synchros, or Dragons. (if your only reason for the Deck is a burn) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you banish a L.6 dragon, you're going to get at least 1000 damage, which would be nice even outside of a burn deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Polo Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 @Crimson Mefist ~ Which is a completly useless card and would never see gameplay. @OP if you got this guy on the field yeah it would be nice, But there's not even a single reason why would it enter anyone's deck at the first place.

ragnarok1945 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 1st effect is SLIGHTLY oped because you just said the synchro can't attack directly, didn't say others can't so maybe change that to all your monsters can't attack your opponent directly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
