Not-so-Radiant Arin Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 [img]http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k640/akasudds/SwordSummonerAlaina-1.jpg[/img] [quote]When this card is Normal Summoned: You can activate one of the following effects: * Send 1 Warrior-Type monster from your Deck to the Graveyard to Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Warrior-Type monster from your hand. * Send 1 Warrior-Type monster from your hand to the Graveyard to Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Warrior-Type monster from your Deck.[/quote] In my desperate attempt to break Warriors, I just realized that you can now make a first turn Paladius! Hooray! But beyond the obvious Paladius/Excalibur plays, Sword Summoner Alaine is basically a pseudo Summoner Monk for Warriors. In a dedicated Deck, Sword Summoner Alaine can fulfill the basic elements of thinning the Deck, as well as it's original job, recruitment. It may be balanced in the fact that it's effect activates only when Normal Summoned, and may be a one time deal, but when you combine that with a +0 Xyz, it's generally, well, broken. So comments? Or is this just going to get locked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catterjune Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Discard a card. Summon [s]three Hero Kid[/s] Great Shogun Shien since there's no level specified on the card. It makes a lot of decks become silly inconsistent. I don't like it. It's overpowered and not really all that realistic. Picture's nice though.

Sora1499 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 It opens up just too many plays for my liking... It' synchro food, Xyz food, a potential tech for Lightsworns, Six Sams, and Ninjas, and it would break Heroes. You can mill, search, and swarm... all in 1 card. This would become a staple in any Warrior-Type deck, or any deck that runs even a few Warrior-Type monsters given its secondary effect. I can see this card securing a spot on the ban list, whether it be semi'd or limited. I doubt that it would be forbidden, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suibon Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 [center]... I fail to see the broken in this.card.[/center] [center]Sure, it sets up many plays, but one effect is effectively a Tinplate Goldfish that mills, and the other a Summoner Monk, only that you are decreed to send Warriors instead of discarding Spells; as I see it, every potential problem that arises from this is either over-hyped or else the fault of other cards.[/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.WHAM Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 It's a beautiful support card for the warrior deck limited on type/ You can legit get away with two of these in sams. I can say it will effectively get limited on release because stratos is and this is a stratos on special drugs. The best part is that his atk and DEF arent ridiculous and lets you set up a graveyard with bigger monsters. I like this card 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suibon Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 [center]What? This? Limited? Like Stratos? lol[/center] [center]I've seen Stratos-inspired decks all the way to Perfect Circle, and let me tell you this: a Tinplate Goldfish or a Summoner Monk upon a Normal Summon was and is still nowhere near what Stratos can be capable of upon both Normal and Special Summons.[/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Tigerwolf Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 ...a higher form of consistency for Warrior types? A faster form or "RotA"? Instant Xyz written all over it? Besides the easy to use Xyz plays this can easily give Heroes and other Warrior oriented decks more Synchro abilities as well. It's most solid play is currently the following: Normal: Send card from hand to Grave; Special Stratos, Stratos gives you HERO monster, go into Xyz plays/Bubbleman plays. It's RotA on "steroids" with a minor cost of sending 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard. Not only that but I can now instant "nuke" the field with Black Rose (combined with Level 3 tuners such as Fullhelm Knight), Stardust and other 8s (with the only Level 4 Tuner "Rose, Warrior of Revenge" for some XXX action between the two which you guys will surely enjoy), It gives you what you want, when you want it, how you want it in a nice little package that says "Win! BECAUSE I CAN MAKE YOU WIN!" I'd suggest giving her only 1 of the two effects and modeling that down just a bit, such as removing the Special Summon clause so it's not overly abusable but techable non-the-least.
