Luna874 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 I may or may not need to fix up my OCG terms for this card. [img]http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/1304/devilsarchlordartemis.jpg[/img] Lore: Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned (from your hand) by tributing 3 DARK monsters you control (excluding tokens). Once per turn, you can pay 1000 life points: You can banish DARK monsters from your graveyard as tributes for the summoning of a level 8 or higher DARK monster (excluding "Devil's Archlord - Artemis"). You must meet the Summoning Conditions of the monster you are summoning with this effect. You cannot conduct your Battle Phase on the turn this effect is used. Just to break down the effect, this card is summoned by tributing 3 DARK monsters (obvious), excluding tokens (No Fires of Doomsday for you. You need to tribute actual monsters). Then it's effect works like Sephylon...on crack, for any DARK monster which is level 8 or higher. What the summon condition means is that you can't banish any 3 DARKs to summon Raviel for example, it needs to be banishing 3 Fiend monsters. You can only summon cards which need you to tribute monsters to summon them, not monsters like DaD which can't be tribute summoned and doesn't tribute monsters to summon. This card is designed to support cards like the Wicked Gods, those being The Wicked Dreadroot, The Wicked Eraser and The Wicked Avatar to summon them easier and use them as beatsticks. In case it wasn't obvious already, the level or higher DARK is summoned from your hand. The banished monsters are also treated as being tributed to summon the monster (This card hates Mask of Restrict). It's a special summon, so any DARK which cannot be special summoned (LaDD to name one) cannot be summoned by this effect. But cards like The Wicked Gods can be summoned since you special summon them by tributing 3 monsters. May or may not be OP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magemeek22 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Read this, and just to make things clear, I'm not too familiar with the archetype you're trying to add to here, but I think its safe to say that your monster is not OP, in fact it may be slightly UP. Why do I say this? Not only is there a 1000 LP cost, but additionally, you have to have a powerful monster in your hand to make this card's effect worth-while. It wouldn't cause issues in terms of balancing, but the need for this card in a deck is beyond me. Maybe you could make the 1000 LP cost to add a monster to your hand, and then have the remainder of the effect (banishing monsters from the Grave as tributes) be an innate, no-cost once per turn? That might work better. And I apologize in advance if my lack of previous knowledge on the kit you're improving on - I hope it didn't interfere too much with my opinion.
