Baby Serpent - Trust me you do NOT want this as a pet.

It may look cute now, but it grows REALLY fast and is a pain to feed. Especially when it wants to eat YOU.

[color=#000000][font=Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3][left]When this card is Special Summoned: Double this card's ATK. When this card attacks or is attacked: Special Summon 1 "Baby Serpent" from your Deck; its ATK becomes the same as this card's ATK (it cannot declare an attack this turn). Return this card to your Deck after damage calculation.[/left][/size][/font][/color]






[color=#000000][font=Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3][left]How it is supposed to work: essentially it double's its ATK every turn, except you have to be careful it does not die in battle 2 times because it needs another copy in deck.[/left][/size][/font][/color]

So, SS, goes up to 1000 ATK, SS another, ATK goes up to 2000 ATK. Is attacked, SS another, goes up to 4000 ATK, and then attacks, SS another (because one of them returned to your Deck after damage calculation), goes. Up to 8000 ATK...

This is what you're implying, correct?

[ragnarok1945]

that's fine for doubling atk, only 1000

I get the idea of doubling the atk each turn and all that, but even then you may need to put a limit to it

otherwise it'll go to 1k, then 2k, 4k, 8k, 16k, and so on

now yes the chances your opponent is going to let it reach the 4000 mark or higher isn't likely, but still

Sure, but note (tip; this is important) that this cant happen in one turn and also that if one dies, it will NOT be returned to the deck thus stopping the loop. The key thing is to get the first 2-3 battles go in your favor. In other words, it is sort of like raging flame sprite, accept where it cant attack directly and gains ATK faster. And also, please note, placing it back into the deck is mandatory. SO... yea. And in order for it to get to 2000, it would need to be out for 2 of your own turns, assuming they don't attack it which if they were smart they would not. And the fact that in THEORY there is no limit is the fun part but in practice the limit would basically be 2 turns or less considering they are probably going to just kill it before then.

You could always use Transmigration Prophecy, Pot of Avarice/Benevolence to add them back to your Deck, thus saving the loop from total collapse.

I do like the idea though, and the limitations it does have are pretty good.

Yes, in a deck based around this card, these types of cards would be key

[jaster_rogue]

Yeah, this card can be a problem for your opponent if you can add it to your deck again and restart the cycle, than this card, that looks like a "weak cute little sea-serpent baby" became a great treat but anyway I'd just use Magic Cylinder against it when it's 8k... xD
