Geisterhaft Wehrmacht (Ghost Army)


Stan Alda

Recommended Posts

This is (hopefully) going to be my next big set. The "Geisterhafts" are a series of Spirit Monsters all based on German military units of World War II. They take advantage of Spirits' hand-returning effects to launch hit-and-run attacks; their ATK is disproportionately high compared to their Level. However, if your opponent manages to catch one and attack it, "Geisterhaft" monsters use their rotten DEF, even when in Attack Position.

DARK
Level 4
Machine/Spirit/Effect
This monster is also treated as an EARTH monster. This card returns to the hand during the End Phase of the turn it is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up. If this face-up Attack Position card is attacked, its ATK becomes equal to its DEF during Damage Calculation only. This monster can attack twice per Battle Phase.

Level 3
Machine/Spirit/Effect
This monster is also treated as a WIND monster. This card returns to the hand during the End Phase of the turn it is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up. This monster cannot be destroyed by card effects on the turn it is Normal Summoned from the hand. If this face-up Attack Position card is attacked, its ATK becomes equal to its DEF during Damage Calculation only. When this monster destroys a monster in battle, destroy 1 face-down Spell or Trap card on your opponent's side of the field in the same column as the destroyed monster.

TRAP

SPELL/Equip
When this card is equipped to a WATER "Geisterhaft" monster you control, it remains face-up on the field and does not return to your hand during the End Phase. Increase the DEF on the equipped monster by 1000. When this card is removed from the field, the equipped monster is destroyed.[/spoiler]

Well, that's the point. The idea is a "glass cannon"; a fast, offensive monster with poor defenses. And considering it returns to your hand on the End Phase of the turn it is Normal Summoned, it's hard to catch anyway. It's only a weakness if your opponent can keep it on the field somehow. Thanks for pointing out the Special Summon thing though.

I still don't get what's the purpose of you making them spirits to begin with

care to explain why?

They're meant to be a simple hit-and-run beatdown archetype. Summon, attack, return to hand, repeat. I'm not sure if I should keep this effect, though:

I like them, but hardly have any comments/criticism to give, since I don't play Yugioh anymore.

So i'll just say keep it up and give you a +like instead.

That's good enough for me. I just wanted [i]some[/i] form of feedback. Thank you.

I added a support Trap.

Why isn't anyone reading this? Is the German title turning people off or something?
[/quote]

well that one is a bit simple in terms of effects

it's nothing really too new since as spirit monsters they'd have to return to the hand anyway

unless you have Spiritual Energy Settling Machine, but that's another matter

again, I guess it'll have to depend on if you add more Ghost Army monster cards here

That's not the point. This allows them to "retreat" (that's what "ruckzug" means) [i]immediately[/i] when they would be destroyed by a card effect. But yes, it is also a counter to Spiritual Energy Settle Machine.

On a side note, I'm uploading these to Duel Network. Have fun and blast away.

is there a glitch with the card maker again?
[/quote]

Actually, they weren't uploading to Duel Network. I should have clarified that. They're up on DN now, though, so feel free to give them a try.

I'm still working on the images for the other cards in this set, so it might take a bit before I post any new cards here. You'll probably see them on DN before you see them here.
