The Summoning of this card cannot be negated. You can Special Summon this card from your hand if you control 1 face-up "Ido the Supreme Magical Force", and this card is unaffected by its effects. Destroy 1 monster you control and halve your Life Points during each of your End Phases. You can negate the activation of any card effect while you control "Ido the Supreme Magical Force", except the effect of this card and "Ido the Supreme Magical Force". If this card is destroyed by battle, Special Summon it during your next Standby Phase, and this card gains ATK equal to twice the Battle Damage you received from that battle.

This card's effects cannot be negated, and it is unaffected by the effects of "Ido the Supreme Magical Force". During either player's turn, you can Special Summon this card from your Graveyard by destroying 1 face-up "Ido the Supreme Magical Force". If you control a face-up "Ego the Supreme Rational Force", monsters cannot be Special Summoned. If this card battles, destroy both monsters, and you gain Life Points equal to thrice the amount of Battle Damage that would have resulted. Twice per turn, you can Banish 1 card on the field. When this card is destroyed by its own effect, Special Summon 1 monster from your Graveyard. If "Ido the Supreme Magical Force" is Special Summoned by this effect, skip your next Draw Phase.

[spoiler="Explanation for names"]
The Id is the unconscious, instinctual aspect of personality, the "true" desires of the inner self. The card likely represents magic, the supernatural, and knowledge not yet understood.

The Ego is a mostly conscious part of the self, it is the primary mediator between the Id and "reality". In this case, "Ego the Supreme Rational Force" represents the rational, realistic, scientific aspects of knowledge.

The Superego is the conscience and the image of an idealized self. It is composed of both conscious and unconscious social "instincts", and serves as a moral standard. It is the mediator between the self and others. "Uberich the Supreme Existential Force" represents the whole of known existence: magic, science, and everything in between.[/spoiler]

It's clever, but I'm not sure what to think about it. The "halving Life Points" clause is interesting; I assume the amount decreases exponentially. Starting at 8000 Life Points, you'd lose 4000; at 4000, you'd lose 2000; at 2000, you'd lose 1000, at 1000, 500; and so on. I went down the line, and it would take 13 turns for this card to kill you, assuming no extra damage. A lot can happen in 13 turns, though, so it's not too much of a problem...or is it? I'm not sure.

It would be interesting to use, but I can't make a full review until I see the superego, and even then I'm not too good with strategic analysis. I'd suggesting waiting for more trustworthy reviewers, like Zanda Panda and .Rai.
