Synchros by Stan Alda?!

[Stan Alda]

I assume you know about my distaste for Synchros and Xyzs, especially the latter. But after being in a card-making rut for months, I think it's time to change my routine. These are the first Synchros I've ever made.

 

Both Synchros require a specific low-level Tuner, necessitating more non-Tuner materials. The first Synchro, "Megadeath Missile", has fewer requirements but must be Tributed to unleash its full potential. The other, "Uranium Dragon", requires more material but can fuse to create the mighty "Plutonium Dragon". All of them can weaken large areas of your opponent's side of the field, either by weakening the opponent's ATK/DEF or preventing your opponent from using their Monster Card Zones. The catch is that all of them inflict damage to your Life Points as long as they are in the Graveyard. Should they be destroyed for some reason, you'll have to deal with steadily decreasing LP; "Marie the Fallen One" is helpful, but if you miss too many times, eventually you could lose to your own burn.

 

In addition, I wrote two effects for "Megadeath Missile", "Uranium Dragon", and "Plutonium Dragon"; the one on the card is shorter and weaker, while the alternate is more powerful but longer. You decide which is better.
