BUMP, new card added.

I'm kind of confused about the first card: Card effects cannot be activated in response to this effect. Does that mean that you could change it's effect by a Spell/Trap/Card Effect after the effect has been activated? Otherwise not much to say here, good card.

The second card, I'm not too sure about. It's nice that it can be SS if you control 2 Face-downs, but I don't see that happening too often. The fact that it can attack in Defence Position is interesting, I havn't seem many that can do that, not sure if it should have a cost since your opponent wouldn't be able to destroy it easily and it can still attack.

Well the second card is supposed to be a better version of Total Defense Shogun. In a Rock deck, or something along those lines, Ironclad Defender would easily be able to be SS as well as in a Burn Deck...although I don't really see what use he would have in a burn deck, lol.

As for Thunder Sniper, the last effect, means that cards cannot be chained its effect.

New card added.

I feel sorry for thunder sniper in this heavy Xyz time its effect is almost mute. That would be a mild annoyance to the opponent nowadays. However being able to SS himself like that makes him a possible candidate to be ran in the thunder family decks.

Ironclad Defender...when you attack you will always use your attack points for damage calculation so there wouldn't be a real need for his defense to drop. That and in the rock deck he is supposed to be in its sounds like he promotes stalling. So I'm not the biggest fan of that.

False synchro would be great if it were just the graveyard. Otherwise I wouldn't really approve of a controlled double mill, set-up that just blocks your opponent and set-up beatsticking/stalling walls for you.

[b]I am still trying to catch up to the metagame, so I looked up the Thunder Family Decks you mentioned and I think I have made him more friendly to that archetype altogether.[/b]

[b]I thought because I stated 'apply its DEF -500 for Damage Calculation.' in its effect that it would bypass that problem. Any idea how to fix it?[/b]

[b]Changed it to just graveyard.[/b]

Ironclad Defender: Well you would just make his attack 1900 and drop the whole -500 effect.

Atlantean King: Problem is that he's really not that much better than the already 3 sac Atlantean boss monster. He just his monster while the other hits backrow and 9/10 you want to kill backrow. I say this only because the last line with the special summoning 3 monsters for no reason is overpowered and should be omitted.

Ironclad Defender: Hmm...will have to think about it.

Atlantean King: Yeah, I created him just because I wanted to use the picture, not much thought was put behind it. It needs something original...
