AGATHODAIMON BANGTAIL COW Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 [img]http://i.imgur.com/jmyE6.jpg[/img] [spoiler='Halp that text is too small for me to read in braille.']Select 1 face-up monster on the field with 2500 or more ATK; send it to the Graveyard and draw 1 card. Then, send 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard.[/spoiler] The idea behind this card is to punish Decks that contain strong boss monsters (AKA almost all of them) by offing their boss just like that, and then letting you draw a card. As for the picture, it is from JazinKay, and I perused the Demon section once, and the ETC section TWICE, before I decided to go with this card, thinking that one could interpret it as the dragon suffering (as well as the person, who is just random here). I'm so picky with my own pictures sometimes. Edit: Now you have to send a card to the Graveyard after everything in the effect happens, since apparently 2500+ ATK monsters are more commonplace than is good for this card being a +1.

Not-so-Radiant Arin Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 I like it. It can get around that pesky Stardust Dragon, as it only sends and doesn't destroy, as well as some of the other bigger beaters that are roaming around in the meta right now. However, given that Stardust is the only Synchro right now, and that some of the Xyzs don't have higher than 2500 ATK (except for Soldde and Dolkka, Pearl, and a couple others I might be missing), it may be limited in it's, somewhat practical, use. It is, however, very balanced. The ATK value is perfect. Any less and it would be on the overpowered side and any more would be on the useless side.

AGATHODAIMON BANGTAIL COW Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Well, from what I've heard, Scrap Dragon and Gaia Knight aren't uncommon to run into. Then there's the Effect monsters like Hyperion and Grapha (though Grapha would laugh and just come back). Still, that post was re-assuring that it isn't broken or [i]too[/i] situational. Bump because this is on page 2 and I am milking [s]racecar[/s] RC for more replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihop Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 The card is broken, it's like a Ring of Destruction on crack that kills bosses of almost every archetype including Utopia, Tiras, Stardust, Gaia Knight, Pearl, Leviathan, Grapha, and it even makes the Shining miss timing. Give it a cost like discard 1 card, otherwise it's just ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTW (For The Wynn) Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Pros: -Anti-Stardust card -+1 -Techs fairly well in a variety of decks -Potentially Abusable Cons: -Some potential for dead draw, especially early and late game -Potentially Abusable Overall, I like it. However, it would probably be limited at best. The only real negative to this card is that you can only use it when a high-powered monster is on the field. That and the fact that it is a Trap and not a Quick-Play Spell. But, you get to off one of your opponent's heavy hitters and get a card out of it. This is only OP'd if it is abusable imo. Meaning if you successfully run multiple copies, I'd find it OP'd. Other than that, I have no real issue with it. Nice card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGATHODAIMON BANGTAIL COW Posted September 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 After a few days of forgetting to, it now forces you to send a card from your hand to the Graveyard. I'm feeling ill, so I probably didn't fix it enough by making the "cost" part of the effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGATHODAIMON BANGTAIL COW Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Anyone? Updated version, anyone? [Bump up post toast] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synchronized Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Might as well have made it "Then, discard 1 card". Only because you could use it in Dark Worlds. But it's not bad at all. Balanced design and relatively effective. I can't think of much it would really be able to take down right now, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
