Omoikane (Single card)

[Zyzzyzus]

A Spirit monster that can Summon any other Spirit monster from the Deck, as long as you control another monster with an equal or greater Level. I specified Normal Summoning a monster that requires Tributes because of Cost Down/Star Blast and Mausoleum of the Emperor.

Returns to the owner's hand during the End Phase of the turn that this card is Summoned or flipped face-up. You can Special Summon this card from your hand when you Normal Summon or Tribute Summon a Level 5 or higher monster. Once per turn, you can select 1 monster you control, and discard 1 card to Normal Summon 1 Spirit monster from your Deck whose Level is equal to or lower than the selected monster. That monster cannot be used as an Xyz Material Monster.

Pretty good, but I would change the Special Summoning effect, as no real Spirit Deck, (if there's any real good ones out there ) runs cards that make you pay Life Points, so I think that should be changed. I have a few ideas, but those would kinda change the conditions for the Tribute to SS effect.

Changed the effect. Hopefully I didn't miss any obvious way to OTK with this card, but the previous version was somewhat underpowered.

I think it would be best if you made it possible for them to be Xyz Material monsters, but limit the number of times Omoikane itself can use the effect, as to prevent any really broken Summoning shenanigans. So basically, it'd be a much more balanced Tour Guide for Spirits, with the added possibility of Synchro. It would make Spirits pretty awesome, imo.

Also, art = superawesomeamazing. Did the original art already have the Spirit archetype-like background or was there some Photoshopping done, because the art fits perfectly.

I edited the background. Original Spirit background I got from [url="http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/255784-spirit-background-%E2%80%A2free%E2%80%A2/"]this thread[/url].

The whole point of Spirit monsters is to be able to have crazy effects while having the drawback of returning to the hand and not being able to be Special Summoned. The Summoning effect is already once per turn, and allowing Xyz Summon after getting the effect of the Summoned monster somewhat defeats the purpose.

I am considering Xyz Spirit monsters as a possible idea though.

imo spirits should have had their own treeborn frog monster that ss's itself from the grave consistently by some effect, that counted as 2 tributes for spirits, that way hino kagu tsuchi and yamata dragon would be viable to use in spirit themed decks

I always get scared when cards allow you to normal summon an extra time because I think they should always say something on the lines of additional normal summon. That being said I do like the card. I think card should definitely loose the whole no xyz drawback because I see it as more of a Summoner Monk than a tour guide (since with Summoner Monk you have to discard a card) and there is no reason why not to do Xyz if you have the chance.
