STVB Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Can't find flaws for this one, Fiend type, great for tour guide. Very balanced. Great artwork. I almost thought this was a real card. I'd run this in my frog deck. 10/10 What contest is this for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because a 2800 Leviathan Dragon that can go up to 3300 and still attack is so freaking balanced, right? Not to mention how easy it is to get that off, ie it's a freaking TGU target, and it gives the Atlantean /Mermail hyrbris deck such an easy time searching out its key pieces. So yeah, card is broken.

Strider Tigerwolf Posted September 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 And what other use would there be besides searching for the following: Genex Undine Mermail Abyssgunde/hilde/linde Bani-Fish Atlantean Marksman/Attack Squad Oyster Meyser Snowman Eater Shark Stickers ...? Plus funny thing's funny. I made the card FOR Leviair and inderiectly Aero Shark (but Aero Shark is bad anyway so who would run it.trollmode.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekko1990 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 An fairly design. A good couple of uses for its first effect, while still restricting it a bit and it is also easy to activate. In addition, the effect fits the water attribute perfectly. It's second effect is indeed a bit too powerful, being able to easily bring out a 2,6k or 2,7k beater (with the latter becoming a whopping 2900 with the usual field spell up) as either of them can take out even most rank 4 monsters. The picture looks pretty great. Easily visible, nice details and a true embodiment of its aspects. As a final note I would suggest changing the name to "Embodied Souls of the Sea", considering it has multiple faces around its body, possibly representing multiple souls. This would also fit in very well with its effect, the adding to hand part as taking the form of one of the contained spirits or releasing it at the cost of the embodiment.

Synchronized Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 its crazy broken the atlanteans/mermails that entire archetype is really teetering on the edge of being crazy broken on its own, but what you've done is give them a faster RotA that is also searchable by TGU AND can be used multiple times in the same turn the card is cool looking and the effect is creative, i'll give you that, but it's beyond powerful; in terms of card design, the thing is just terrible because of the broken advantage it generates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 The card's absolutely horrible design. It's a Tour Guide target that gives you beaters that make Leviathan small. Now, one problem with Tour Guide targets in general is that they can clog if you draw them at the wrong time (Not Sangan and Night Assailant, but other stuff). This completely removes that issue, as you simply ditch it for a search, provided you draw it. 800 is far too large a boost for a Rank 3 when you consider that this thing has a secondary effect. No matter what you do with it, it thins the deck out for you, and can search Snowman Eater, Undine, Deep Diver, Level 3 Mermails, Level 3 Atlanteans, Oyster Meister, Shark Stickers, and Wing Tortoise. Yes, I know you listed most of these already, but the point is that's far too many good targets for something that doubles as a +800 for Tour Guide targeting. Remove the boost completely or shrink it to, like, 400. There's no excuse for a 2600/2700 beater from nowhere, and 2200/2300 is still a bit stupid, though the latter's absolutely outclassed by 17.

Strider Tigerwolf Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I suppose I'll "match" Leviathan. No more no less, so 500 ATK. I'll also make sure you can only activate that first effect only once per turn...or once per duel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're giving something with a great effect 2300 to boot. Leviathan only gets to be 2500 because he's a "vanilla", and even that's not even an entirely good idea. 400 is the most you should be giving a boost, and even that's iffy. If it was another type, a higher boost would be more acceptable. Once per duel effects are stupid, because they say "I can do whatever the hell I want, and it's fine cause once per duel." It would also remove all merit as a Tour Guide target as you'd want to just draw it for the search. Once per turn sounds fine for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Are you even literate? I in no way implied Leviathan was a target, and you'd have to just be trying to go "I'M RIGHT YOU'RE WRONG LALALALA" to think I was. Guess this is what I get for expecting people to actually use their heads and understand that Leviathan boosts himself. He hits 2500 by his effect because he's a "vanilla". He can hit 3000 in exchange for no direct swings. That's questionable in its own right, but normal summoning a 2300 monster that grabs a banished monster is completely stupid. 2200 is bad enough, but at least it's not a big line. The card shouldn't even boost 300, honestly. I only said 400 because then it's at least somewhat tolerable. A boost effect on an otherwise good card is just stupid design.

Strider Tigerwolf Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 My bad for not reading right (technically, I am to some extent illiterate, especially due to the need of new glasses) >_< but yeah I see your point. Boost, is now completely gone. So how about...a protection eff? "If the Xyz monster would be destroyed (by card or battle), detach this card from that Xyz Monster instead" or something along those lines?

Strider Tigerwolf Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 After careful thought, I have come to the new edits. It has become a 1 time search so that it can still be useful, and have given Leviar/Aero Shark the ability to activate their effects only once without having to detach an Xyz Material for "potential" play, and relatively slow abuse.
