[quote][center]Each time a "Six Samurai" monster(s) is Normal or Special Summoned, place 2 Bushido Counters on this card. You can remove Bushido Counters from your side of the field to activate these effects. ● 2 Counters: Target 1 face-up "Six Samurai" or "Shien" Effect Monster; that target gains 500 ATK until the End Phase. ● 4 Counters: Add 1 "Six Samurai" monster from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand. ● 6 Counters: Target 1 "Shien" Effect Monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target.[/center][/quote][/center]
See, one of the main reasons why this card is nuts is because of the fact Legendary Six Samurais are purely(if not, mostly) Special Summons. Combined with the fact just about every other Bushido Counter-card has no limit to the number of Counters it can hold, you basically rack up 500-ish counters effortlessly.
That, and maybe a Once-Per-Turn clause would have been nice. Then again, at the time this card was printed in, "Normal" Samurais weren't necessarily that abusable with this card. At least if I remember correctly.
Anyway, Discuss.

This card right here is the sole reason I [i]despise[/i] Six Samurais. Shien? Fine. Yeah, negating an S/T is annoying, but it's handleable. Grandmaster? Also annoying, but it's only 2100 ATK. The other Samurais that swarm? Whatever. At least they (are supposed to) deplete your f***ing hand.

But [i]NO[/i]. This card is complete bulls**t. This cards turn Samurais into f**king Exodia capable of FTK-ing easily if they draw it, and I'm so sick of this card, even at 1. I'm prolly gonna get crap for saying this, but I want this card banned. It deserves to.

It's Rekindling, except instead of summoning 5 monsters, it summons [i]5![/i] monsters.

Each time a "Six Samurai" monster(s) is Normal [s]or Special[/s] Summoned, place 2 Bushido Counters on this card. You can remove Bushido Counters from [s]your side of the field[/s] [b]this card[/b] to activate these effects. ● 2 Counters: Target 1 face-up "Six Samurai" or "Shien" Effect Monster; that target gains 500 ATK until the End Phase. ● 4 Counters: Add 1 "Six Samurai" monster from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand. ● 6 Counters: Target 1 "Shien" Effect Monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target.

Suddenly, balanced.

>inb4 Konami makes a Gateway of Heroic Challange

OT: It was a balanced card until LSS came out

It used to be really good card design.

Now it's f***ing moronic and needs to be banned since it's an OTK.

clearly you've never seen Hieratics. And FYI, I main HERO. Ban it, just because it promotes unfairly easy swarm advantage, and Dojo is the "fair" version although it sucks ass.

Absurdedly broken. As a matter of fact, if it were at anything other than 1, there's no doubt in mind SixSams would be top tier. (Because Tiers are real, people!)

It needs to go. Even though they're not much of a threat right now, the fact that everyone is going to be playing the Deck once the new Structure comes out means it's only more likely that people will find ways to make this ridiculous.

Bubblebeat
tier 0
top tier
this deck is good tier
rogue decks
s*** decks
even shittier decks
arcana force tier

full tier list, folks.

Also, without this, smoke signal can probably go to 3 or something. I mean, convocation is @3 right now(although it'll probably go to 1 along with redmd) so I don't see why not.

As I mentioned in the OP, the original Six Samurais weren't capable of mass Special Summons, unless you relied on other cards like Call of the Haunted, and Grandmaster(Who is limited to 1-per-field).
Legendary Six Samurais, are loaded with Special Summons effects, which is what broke this card is a rather idiotic manner.

[Bahamut - Envoy of the End]

My one and only OTK [b]ever [/b]was using this in the Six Sam rental deck on WC2011 against whatever her name was who did rental deck duels.

Didn't have a clue what I was doing, was adding monsters to my hand I was choosing almost at random, am sure I misplayed something in the process (that magic card that releases a samurai then summons another with matching ATK), yet still managed to summon about 10 monsters from my deck on my first turn with it. Still had no idea it was going to end in an FTK until I suddenly realisied 'hang on I've got 10,000 worth of ATK here...'

Point being: If even [b]I[/b] can FTK with this with my total ineptness, then it has to be broken
