Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Uhhh... the OCG is really, really confusing. I would assume you can only activate one effect anyways, so why wouldn't you just have it designed to be ditched at the time an effect is activated, then activate it yourself? It's potentially overpowered, but that also depends upon its targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Tigerwolf Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I intended to use it like this: Opponent activates Pot of Duality -> You Chain this card. Next Turn -> Main Phase -> Banish from Grave -> Activate Duality's effect once. OR Opponent activates REDMD -> You Chain this card. Next Turn -> Main Phase -> Banish from Grave -> Activate REDMD's effect once. OR Opponent activates Ultimate Offering (main Phase) -> You Chain this card. Next turn -> Main Phase -> Banish from Grave -> Activate Ultimate Offering's effect once. Benefits of doing this? You can activate a second "Pot of Duality" since you only activated its effect, AND you can Special Summon since you didn't activate "this card" named "Pot of Duality", etc, etc. Downfall of activating effects like this? It's rather slow, and D.D. Crow, Retiari, even Darkflare as well as other cards can banish this card from the Graveyard easily, and once its banished that way, the effect can't play off. As for it sounding weird...any suggestions or is it "technically correct"? >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suibon Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 [center]So it's a Diamond Dude/Phantom of Chaos hybrid hand-trap, but you can copy any activated effect with Cranial Zapper as a "cost"? And if you can target things that are no longer on the field but have been used earlier --[/center] [center]Broken beyond belief. At least Diamond Dude and Phantom of Chaos limit you to your own deck.[/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Tigerwolf Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 That's why I wanted some input in how to fix! >_< Well, I did an edit. Hope its more balanced now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suibon Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 [center]Once-per-duel restrictions won't work: you ultimately have the choice to drop this card, which means you will drop this only if you can ensure maximum use from whatever effect your opponent decides to activate. The once-per-duel restriction forces you to choose when to drop this, but that is all.[/center] [center]Still broken beyond belief.[/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Tigerwolf Posted August 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Alright. Instead of it being able to target "everything" I restricted it only to "Effect Monster's effect", as well as once per turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
