During each of your End Phases send, from your Main Deck to the Graveyard, 1 of the Fusion Material Monsters that are listed on that Fusion Monster Card. During the End Phase when all Fusion Material Monster listed on that card are sent to the Graveyard: Special Summon 1 of that Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck and target it with this card. (This Special Summon is treated as a Fusion Summon.) When this card leaves the field, destroy that target. When that target is destroyed, destroy this card.[/size][/font][/color][/center]

[center][color=#000000][font=Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3]You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by banishing 1 face-up Dragon-Type monster you control. If this card is Summoned this way, this card has its effects negated. Once per turn: You can discard 2 cards; Special Summon 1 Dragon-Type monster from your hand or Graveyard. Monsters Summoned by this effect have their effects negated while they are face-up on the field (even if you no longer control this face-up card).[/size][/font][/color][/center]

[center][color=#000000][font=Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3]When this card is Synchro Summoned: You can make your Life Points become 4000. Any effect damage you would take becomes 0. You can banish 1 Synchro monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon Level 3 or lower monsters from your Deck or Graveyard whose levels equal the level of that banished Synchro Monster. This effect of "Life Stream Dragon" can only be used once per turn.[/size][/font][/color][/center]

Future Fusion retrained? By the looks of it, it can still be abused. You can simply select the cards you need at the time for Chaos Dragon fun. Simply put, it's still bad design. Future Fusion is one of those cards that have out lived its usefulness, no matter how you retrain it. I honestly think you wasted your time on this card. And as a side note, no one uses Future Fusion to Fusuon Summon, it's used to dump useful cards in the Graveyard. I think you overlooked that key factor that makes this card bad for the game no matter how you try to balance it.

I will review each card individually obviously:

[b]Future Fusion: [/b]A very good rework of the effect. The card now helps fusion decks but doesn't break Chaos Dragons as much. All be it, they can get a Foolish Burial every turn, but most players will MST it out of the way, or even negate it. Sadly, I still feel that this card might have abuse just because of the concept of a Future Fusion-esque card. Not banworthy imo, but it could still easily find its way onto the ban-list. I honestly don't know, this is just pure speculation and theory-oh on my part.

[b]REDMD: [/b]The new version of this card is obviously more balanced, but I can still see some problems with it. It is still a free 2800 that can easily go into Gustav Max. It doesn't loop with Lightpulsar which is great. Overall, not sure about this one, maybe make it a level 9 to stop Gustav Max.

[b]Lifestream Dragon: [/b]The effect is good. Obviously better than the original. Personally, I would lower the attack with its ability to make more Xyz/Synchros might be able to produce some OTKs, but not exactly sure. All in all it is a good card, but might be abusable but I am not sure.

I guess FuFu's concept was just "too much, too young, too fast" to be good for the game. Well least I gave it a go.

I wanted to keep REDRUM a level 10 for Gustaph plays, and sure it's a free 2800 Dragons beater, but now that it has it's effect negated, there are other things you'll want to do with the card since it's still a 1-for-1 instead of a 1-for-2+. The card also promotes Rank 10 Xyz plays as it's now able to Special Summon a copy of itself, but that will least to a -1 which is what Xyz/Synchros/Fusions should've been in the first place.

Life Stream, wanted this guy to be easier to be brought out along with an actually useful yet skillful effect. From the looks of it though, you can't pull up any more than 4 monsters when it's Summoned IF you use his last effect, and even then that effect is prone to counter removal from cards such as D.D. Crow, Dark Smog, etc...all which will now see more play with the new format. But idk, we'll see if I'm missing something since I've been needing to use glasses lately anyway.
