宇佐見 蓮子@C94 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 One of my favorite Archetypes in YGO other than Agents is Batteryman. They're cute, powerful and is surprisingly consistent. Only problem is, not consistent enough. I usually find my hand filled with Battery Chargers and Portable Battery Packs while AA and Charger sits on god-knows-where. Anyway, since I'm basically sh*t at editing softwares, I decide it would be best to invert the colours on a Batteryman Micro Cell and call it a good artwork.

When this card has that has been flipped Face-Up is Destroyed and sent to the Graveyard by battle: Banish 1 Thunder-type "Batteryman" Monster from your Graveyard; Add 1 "Battery" card from your Deck to your Hand. [/spoiler] Easy to use and, well, the support Batteryman needs in my view. I think it's a bit OP'd since it promotes OTKing but yeah, I'm not so sure. Like always, rate, fix and CnC is welcome.

Garthfunkle Vii Backwards Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I'm am not happy with the pic of the card. Since, you just intverted the color of the picture of the monster card battery man a cell. the effect is fine. needs to be flipped so the effect can take effect. so pure destruction effects can ruin this card aka the game plan. your regular normal summon or set (mostly set in this case) per turn is used to set this. so this card is balanced. 3/10 fix pic then 8/10.

宇佐見 蓮子@C94 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 It's practically impossible to find a good pic for a Batteryman card and I suck Elephant poop at GIMP and Photoshop. Plus, I can barely understand what you're saying. No offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

宇佐見 蓮子@C94 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Following Herman the Spanish's insult to my [i]outstanding[/i] photo-editing skills, I decide to change the artwork. Even though I literally just added more filters to it, it looks better that than slime yellow background before. So yeah, I edited the artwork. Happy now, Herman the Spanish?

-Griffin Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Unless you're trying to make Batteries bad against ZombieWorld.dek for some reason, no point in mentioning thunder. They're all thunder. On Batterymen as a whole: I think Short Circuit or AA needs to be banned so their OTK potential is zapped, then support can be made for them to be an interesting Deck that isn't as much of a 1-trick pony. Industrial Strength and Fuel Cell seem like very playable boss monsters/semi-boss-monsters. This card works well for setting up the B-Man OTK. It can dump AA, search Short, search Battery Charger. The only thing it doesn't get is Inferno Reckless. I think the inconsistency of getting Short & Reckless is the main thing balancing Batteryman OTK, since all its parts are unlimited, and with Mirco-Cell they already have a searcher to set things off. Until the OTK is killed, I'm kind've against Batteryman support as a whole, especially if it doesn't encouraging non-OTK builds in some specific way.

宇佐見 蓮子@C94 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 In the emergency case when AA is banned, then this card becomes the Batterymen's salvator by giving them the ability to dump AAA or D and add Industrial Strength/Fuel Cell, thus turning them into a control/destroy deck. So... Do you think I should remove the part where it gets Short Circuit to make it balanced then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Griffin Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 It might be 'balanced' already. The difficult part is making it 'well designed' so it aims to aid the Deck in making cool control/ect plays instead of, "I BET YOU'D NEVER GUESS I AM ABOUT TO USE INFERNO RECKLESS THEN SHORT CIRCUIT". Here's some of the cards they have for a control Deck, summed up: Micro-Cell: Recruiter which gives a draw, basically +1 when attacked. AAA: Basically a normal-summon-able R4 Xyz, if you have the setup. Charger: 5* Monster with basically 2400 ATK minimum that grabs another monster from your Deck. Like a monarch, except it can grab you Fuel Cell, which is tribute Summoning 4500 ATK worth of monsters, with one tribute. Fairly strong. Fuel Cell: Easy to search with Charger and easy to Summon from hand. Makes for easy level 6 Xyz, which are strong. Industrial Strength: Almost as much ATK as DAD. Less restrictive Summoning than DAD. Can destroy 2 cards with each removal, if your opponent doesn't have an empty row. Unfortunately, once per turn, but for an unlimited card, it's a damn good pseudo-DAD. Battery Charger: Unlimited Batteryman Monster-Reborn. Portable Battery Pack: Double Call of the Haunted. No level restriction, so this can be a 1-card level 5/6 Xyz. Short Circuit: 1-sided costless field nuke. Thunder Sea-Horse: Easy AAA plays, or sets up more Micro-Cell plays. Quick-Charger: chainable card that's a +1 even when you don't chain it. These guys have the potential to be a ridiculous Xyz engine and have tons of +1 options (MCell, AAA, Industry, Portable, Short, Thunder SeaHorse, Quick-C, are all basically going to be a +1 or better every time you use them). The problem is that any support for them is also a support for AA OTK. You could solve this by making your support skip your next battle phase/prevent any damage next turn, or by specifically RFGing an AA from your Deck/hand/Grave, which would be quite crippling. Without AA, they aren't the best Deck at OTKing. The best they're likely to do is Charger + Fuel Cell + Industry (7400 damage), which requires a tribute to set up and is vulnerable to negation at any stage, or simple OTK-stoppers like Fader/Gorz/Waboku.

宇佐見 蓮子@C94 Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Oh well. Can I get another opinion on this? Bump no jutsu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love of Ghibli Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Anything that says: search for the one-sided field nuke is overpowered at its inception. I couldn't care less that no one plays batterymen they have a deck with 4 monster reborns, a double call of the haunted, 4 dark holes (actually a dark hole and three better dark holes), a boss, and 3k level 3's...+some other stuff. If they had a draw engine of any kind and didn't need to really on risky cards like IRS then they would probably top tier and be sodomized all by the banlist. Therefore anything that supports them should really just be some form of draw support. Ergo I say neg that whole Short Circuit foolishness.

宇佐見 蓮子@C94 Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Okay then. I'll be removing it's ability to add Short Circuit but keep everything else intact. Oh, and I also changed the requirements for it's second effect akin to Batteryman Micro-cell. Your review is much appreciated, Beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love of Ghibli Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 I personally think its to slow to do that whole banish to search part though I guess that is a blatant setup for Leviair plays...Man this just makes me realize how casual batteries were lol.
