If this card battles another "Junk" monster and sends it to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 Level 3 or lower "Junk" monster from your Graveyard. This card can target monsters on your side of the field. [i]"A walking mech made of various pieces of scrap metal and parts found in the desert. It's A.I., Unbekannt, which is solely responsible for controlling it, is highly unstable. This powerful machine is liable to turn on you at any moment, before reverting to your side right after. Armed with a nose mounted chaingun, a shoulder mounted rocket launcher, and a shoulder mounted flak cannon, the pros of it being on your side far outweigh the cons."[/i][/center][/center] [center][center]Pic from DeviantArt. So, I looked up how Junk cards work. Based on that, I thought "What happens if you have the card you want is in the grave, but can't get it out? Hm...you can spare a monster, can't you?" It's probably a bad bases for it, but hey. What can I say? I run Dinos. I don't know much about using Junks. Maybe I should start making Dinosaur cards...hmm... Anyway, I was looking up mechs with a digitigrade style leg design, and found this. A quick resize, a switch to png, and it looked fine. CnC would be much appreciated. Fun Fact: Digitigrade Wanderer is German for Digitigrade Walker.[/center][/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumberCruncher Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Why would you attack your own Junk monster, and how would damage calculation work in that case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted September 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Hmm... Well, I guess I'd would work normally. I might add it so that if you target your own, battle damage is not done. You could use that effect to rid your field of something you don't need and get something you do. Maybe I should drop the level limit and make BD apply normally...

NumberCruncher Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 It's effect should porbably be more like "Once per turn, you may tribute 1 "Junk" monster on the field to Special Summon 1 Level 3 or lower "Junk" monster from your graveyard. This card cannot declare an attack the turn you use this effect." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted September 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Meh, that's not very fun. Nor is it creative. I feel like I've seen the same effect over and over again. I just added the whole aspect of attacking your own monsters. Even though you can do the same by tributing monsters, I'm going to try to build off of this idea. Thanks for your thoughts, though. I really appreciate it! ^^ Tomorrow, when I'm not on my iPod, I'm going to edit the effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumberCruncher Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 If your looking for monsters that attack cards on your side of the field, you should probably make an archetype for that, rather than trying to tack on card with that effect onto an existing archetype. Also, I don't think I need to make the Giant Soldier of Stone joke, so I won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 shame it has 1550 atk, not searchable "This card can target monsters on your side of the field." <---this part I'm unsure what you're getting at here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time Psyduck Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Junks are warriors, not machines. Since Junk Synchron, also part of an otherwise all-machine Archetype, is still a warrior, there's no real justification for an exception. Drop the "Junk" from the name and it would be fine, and it also prevents possible abuse from it being a Junk monster itself whilst still providing support. If you want to try attacking your own monsters, you probably need to have an entire archetype for that, rather than trying to stick it on an archetype that's really all about synchro summons (and would usually want to synchro before the battle phase). Maybe, rather than attacking yourself, have it be summonable to your opponent's, or either player's, field, and then change control when it battles. You'd summon it to your opponent's field, attack it with what you Normal Summoned, and then regain control of it and summon another Junk monster. Still being able to summon it to your field means you can take out an opponent's card, swap it over and then attack it, but the card would still work without it. However, you need to make the control change happen before the monster summon, otherwise your opponent would get the effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnarok1945 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 no keep it at 1550, if it's searchable it might be too versatile otherwise you can make it 1500, but say you can't add this card to your hand from your deck via a card effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time Psyduck Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 ^ Ignore this Junks have enough searchable cards that SS from the hand, so one more card able to do it won't hurt. If you don't want to make it searchable, keep it at 1550 or push it up to 1600, to let it get over Junk Servant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
