TheKaitoKid Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Another single from my Dawn of the Brawl set. It's a retrained version of Buster Blader. I always liked the card and it's support [Skilled White Magician, Dark Paladin etc.] but he was always a little too slow for my tastes. Being a Level 7 Warrior with no real way to just drop on the field made him a little too slow for my liking, so I sped him up. I've also added a pretty useful effect that makes him a very good side against Dragon decks. Thoughts?

If your opponent controls 2 or more Dragon-Type monsters, you can Special Summon this monster (from your hand). This card gains 500 ATK for each Dragon-Type monster your opponent controls or is in their Graveyard. At the start of the Damage Step, if this monster battles a Dragon-Type monster: Destroy that monster immediately with this card's effect.[/size][/font][/color][/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BioWulf Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Very interesting.The effect looks balanced.I just think there should be "as" before "Buster Blader" in the card lore.Funny,today i created 5 Dragon slayers too but with a bit higher intention to be able to slay ANY dragon.Would you mind taking a look?Do you thing my Slayers are overpowered or too complicated?

Garthfunkle Vii Backwards Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 so anti chaos dragon / hieratic user beware your stupid lizards are going down quick fast and in a hurry activate d. tribe ss this gain major atk boost (in this case it would be temp) then auto destory 1 monster or vs a chaos dragon deck activate dna surgery turn in to something else but they will at least 2 dragons in their grave so +1000 i wanna say OP'ed but it seems balanced as can be destoryed fairy easy and it does not have a eff to prevent its removal or its summon being negated i say slightyl OP'ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Tigerwolf Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 An easy tech against Dragons. Becomes a beater...and that's pretty much it. Fairly balanced since it can get into high ATKs pretty easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Murphy ☆ Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 You do know that this IS Buster Bladers pic right? Kazuki Takahashi made two of them... the original and this one, just like how there are 2 Summoned Skull pics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKaitoKid Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Yes, I'm aware that this is the Anniversary Art but I couldn't find a better pic, so I went with the lesser known Alternate Art, I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

TRUE RULER^(Imper.Di ) Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 There's a reason why they didnt make it like this. This completely displaces both Buster Blader and he dragon-killing sword thing. since it's both, drop the ATK gain to 200/300<so the original at least has that advantage>. Just saying.

TheKaitoKid Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 All retrained version of monsters have an advantage over their counterparts [see. Swift Gaia, Comrade Swordsman, Obnoxious Celtic Guard]. If they didn't they'd have no point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cakey Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 If he gains that much ATK, the auto-destroying effect actually makes him [i]weaker[/i], because he doesn't deal Battle Damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKaitoKid Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Yup, that's sorta the goal. He autokills dragons but non-dragons would still need a decent chunk of ATK to get over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Horrible Logic is Horrible. The reasons he retrained Buster Blader like this is BECAUSE he doesn't see much play. The stats of this monster are decently powerful to make you quake in fear, but the way it conducts battle is quite a different story.

[/quote] By auto-destroying monsters he lowers the effectiveness of the card mainly because it can easily run over any dragon at the cost of "no damage". This allows Dragon.dek to play over the card while still being a nuisance and provides player-to-player interaction to happen within the game which is a GOOD thing to do.

-Griffin Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Anti-support is bad design. Please don't make anti-support. It's already messed machines up to hell and back. We don't need it done to any more types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
