The worst card design: The this guy

NOTICE: The cardmaker is being a jerk and the effect isn't what's on the card. It gains 400 ATK for each monster Tributed, and you draw 1 card for every 2 monsters Tributed. Also, there is a 2 Tribute minimum on the cost.


I was planning on reposting a card from earlier that did not receive much attention at all, but when I generated the link, this guy kept showing up instead. I had this in WC, but the only comment I got was a threat to my brain cells, and I didn't want to bump it twice.

As for this card, it+Scapegoat makes for a lulzy PoG with a 3500 body, but since Scapegoat is Limited, I really don't think that it is that much of a problem. It really shines in decks that have swarmfaec strategies, but the good decks don't really generate enough fodder for this to take over, at least in the MP1. Ok, maybe Tour Guide.

Hmm... The effect seems a bit overpowered though... As for the card you could use YugiCo.

In any swarm deck you could just Tribute SS this card for a 2700 beatstick with a +2 draw power. If this was a real card made by Konami it would be limited on the spot, maybe forbidden in 6 months. I'd say drop the draw power from it, you already got the ATK bonus.

Until then, 6.5/10

It's basically a level 7-8 monster that nets you a card. Hieratics wouldn't like this because at any given time you usually have 1 hieratic (usually Su or nebthet) and wattail which you got off of tefnuit or eset, and this card is too slow for their lightning fast OTK style. I honestly don't see it getting much use.

You draw 2 cards if you Tribute 4 monsters If it has 2700 ATK, you draw only one card. If I drop the drawing part, this wouldn't even good in tokenspamfaec decks since 400 is a small number in this situation.

ITT: We shall only Tribute Hieratics.

Well, what else would I run this in? Frogs? Caius, LAD, and Raiza are better targets. I don't think I'd put it in anything else.

[AGATHODAIMON BANGTAIL COW]

I mentioned Tour Guide. I think it's a +2 with her and Sangan. Then there is the previously mentioned Scapegoat combo. It's impractical, but it still exists. And then there's swarm for the sake of swarm decks. While Frogs run Tribute Summon monsters, this could do something lulzy in a different kind of Frog build that uses its Normal Summon on Frogs instead of Monarchs.

[Sora1499]

I'd muuuuuch rather make zenmaines, and its not worth the deckspace for a combo involving a semi'd card.

The Summon effectively costs nothing because you replace the 1 or 2 monsters you Tribute. It seems like a useful card for speeding through your Deck, and might even work offensively as a 2700 attacker. There are lots of ways to throw down spare monsters (Scapegoat, Doppelwarrior) and this could lead to some nice Xyz combos with Junk Synchron or Synchro combos with Level Eater.

I fail to see the problem with the functional design. Do you mean the chewed-up ATK?
