Until your 3rd Standby Phase after this card's activation, during each of your opponent's Draw Phases, you can pay 500 Life Points to check the card that your opponent Draws. By revealing 1 card of the same Type from your hand, you can add 1 card of the same Type from your Deck to your hand. When this card is removed from the field, you can add 1 card that was used to activate this card from your Graveyard to your hand.[/Center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Alda Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 This doesn't seem right to me. It's not very useful unless both you and your opponent use similar types; if I used this to add draw support for a Blue-Eyes deck but my opponent is using a Cloudian deck, this card can't do anything. The hand-revealing effect is interesting and could make a good balancing factor. But what happens when, for example, "Ceremonial Bell" is on the field, revealing both players' entire hands? Would this card be negated or impossible to use? I'm not quite sure about the last effect either. What does it mean? It's an interesting concept, but it's too situtational. Unless you know what sort of Deck your opponent is running, and you have a similar Deck, this card could turn out to be almost worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Max Posted November 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I was actually trying to make it a Spell, Trap or Monster but was struggling to find the OCG XD. The last part is quite simple actually. When you discard 2 DARKS and activate this it goes to the Grave (Think Crush Card) then you get 1 DARK back again. However if you are running DaD, you're more then welcome to keep the card there. Oh and thanks for the detailed review. Appriciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Althemia Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 It's broken. Discarding isn't a cost, so you can discard 2 Dark Worlds (Grapha + Snoww) and immediately gain a huge amount of pluses just from that and... then you get searches EVERY SINGLE DRAW PHASE. Also, the last effect makes it exceedingly broken, as it becomes "Discard 2 cards and add 1 back to your hand, then you get a free search every single time your opponent takes their turn. 8D" No, it's utterly broken beyond belief. Suggested changes for this: Remove the entire last clause of the effect and make it a Continuous. Then it should be just broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] So you effectively discard 1 DARK, and the other is temporarily disabled; a net loss of 1 card (duh). It's worthless if you're not running the same type, but if you are, it provides too much draw support for too low a cost (1 DARK monster and 1500 LP). This is not a very good card overall, and I hope you can do better with your next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welche the crab Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I'm looking at this and thinking "[i]What deck would actually use that?[/i]". The problem is an initial -2. Most decks can't really afford a -2 and the only deck that would like this is Fableds but they don't run DARK. The main effect itself seems odd to me just because after making the -2, you need to pay another cost during each of your Standby Phases. Of course no one cares about 500 Life Points but still... Finally the last part of the effect is the strangest part. You do know this card is removed from the field on resolution. That means that right away you get the DARK monster back so really the cost seems to be a single discard but you have to have both DARK monsters in your hand. Is this what you were going for?

J-Max Posted November 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Cheers for the input guys. I guess this was a fresh idea that went horribly wrong XD That's me in a nutshell. (Not the horribily wrong part) I just love to be innovative. [color=#0000ff][b]Icy: Don't stroke your own ego so nonchalantly.[/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 you know I'm confused that it's not a continuous spell card for this you just said that it has to last 3 turns onto the field. Now yes Swords of Revealing Light doesn't have to continuous symbol on it either, but I'm just unsure well, onto the effect matter, 500 LP is a bit cheap just to check a card, especially since you can get the same type into your hand so for example if your opponent draws a lv1 monster, you can send a lv8 monster to your hand, it doesn't add up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
