Durandamon Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 So, looking through some cards I found this really old one: [img]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20061203235233/yugioh/images/thumb/1/1a/PossessedDarkSoulDB2-EN-C-UE.jpg/300px-PossessedDarkSoulDB2-EN-C-UE.jpg[/img] And I saw that the only cards that would make this work were Demotion and Stygian Dirge, so I made THIS: [img]http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/1641/100116a.jpg[/img] Maybe it's a little to OP'd, so please CnC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 The card's fine. These are points that balance it: -Banish 3 DARKS: because even though it is possible and sometimes easy to get DARK monsters in the Graveyard, this shows that you won't be mindlessly dropping this on the first turn. -No Xyz or Synchro with them this turn: because that's the focus in today's Decks. -Your card may be a Quick Play, but Possessed Dark Soul's effect for sure isn't. That counts for something. -Xyz Monsters are immune to it since they lack Levels. -Level 7+ monsters (pretty much all non-Monarch boss monsters) are immune too. The card still could be used to stop your opponent from Synchro or Xyz Summoning for 1 turn at the very least. Though if I had to change something, I'd say that the 3 DARK cost (or having any cost at all) is what makes me think it's too specific for consideration. That'd be my suggestion.

Durandamon Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 What do you suggest, remove the DARK specification or make the cost like LP or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 I'd like it if this didn't have a "banish" or "DARK" specification and could just be activated with no cost. Though then it would need balancing. I was thinking more on it's effect lasting during 1 of each players' turns after activation, instead. That way you could stop Synchro/Xyz Summons during your opponent's turn, but wouldn't have the advantage of being able to do them yourself next turn, on top of still being able to use Possessed Dark Soul's effect for a bit. Though that's just me. I'd say if you really want this card to have a cost, you could go for the Life Point pay yeah, or a Tribute, or a discard, or ummmm... can't think of other cost ideas for this...

ragnarok1945 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 ah yes, the old Poessessed Dark Soul card. Don't know how useful that is anymore 3 DARK monsters in the graveyard is easy to pull off, so that part's fine it's a temporary lockdown of synchros and xyzs, it's nothing really TOO new but then again I guess it can screw up the summoning and all that, especially since it goes to your end too. It's just situational, nothing more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durandamon Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I believe this can go either two ways, if you activte on the opponent's turn, it blocks their extra deck for the turn. If it's your turn it does that but it also lets you activate Possessed's effect and control the enemy monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 yeah the taking control part is what concerns me we all know the problems with Change of Heart and Brain control of course, in the case with Possessed Dark Soul, you CAN just use something like Remove Brainwashing to counter it....

Durandamon Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Exactly, that was my first thought. So you think it's balanced then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I guess so. I mean with Possessed Dark Soul the mind control concept is better balanced compared to Reshef, which isn't limited by this level crap.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I agree with Ragnarok in that the control part is balanced. Possessed Dark Soul won't become broken from this card. I'm just concerned that pretty much only chaos or DARK Decks can use it, but other than that, it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It has uses yes, but there's a cost. You must banish 3 DARK monsters or you can't activate. That's why I'm saying this. A Deck with no DARK monsters can't really play it. Only pure DARK Decks to be specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durandamon Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 U can still use it in like, Inzektor decks maybe. Also, think. Why would you run Possessed Dark Soul in a Deck without DARK or Fiend support? You can't just rely on this card for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I'm more curious as to what monsters you'd want to grab via Possessed Dark Soul's effect nowadays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durandamon Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 From the top of my head, Brionac and Catastor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] You could definitely fill in the conditions to activate this card in Inzektors I guess. Do they mind being banished? I know their Deck but haven't played this format myself. I know they don't usually banish, but how much would it bother them? That'd be an interesting factor to see. I mean, they can always Leviair, but that still would use some of their field.... so I don't know. As for Possessed Dark Soul outside Fiends, because Possessed Dark Soul's effect doesn't really depend on Fiends on itself. Though I'd just want it outside for the sake of random fun casual Decks for shizz and giggles... but nothing really important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durandamon Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Actually, they are based on the Grave, but with one or two on the field and at least one Hornet in the Grave/hand you are fine with the Inzektors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
