Change of Fate (Edit to a Trap Card I made)

[DeathWielder]

Hey, so originally I made a card called Change of Fate, which had this effect:

"When your opponent completes Destiny Board (After the activation of 'Spirt Message L'), you win instead of your opponent."

Well, seeing that the card is completely useless, I went a different route with the card. Here is the new card:


Supposed to be a picture here but I can never get the flipping pictures to load right. (it always tells me the pictures are too big doesn't let me insert them with the img tags. Frustrating me to no end.)

Anyway, aside from that off topic mini-rant, here is the info to the card:

Name: Change of Fate
Type: Continuous Trap
Rarity: Common
Circulation: 1st Edition
Set: YCM - DW03
Effect: Pay 2000 Life Points to activate this card. When your opponent fulfills a condition which would declare him/her the winner of the Duel while this card is Face-Up on the field, you win instead.
Serial No. 21278314

Here is the Googled image used on the card (attached on the bottom). I'd have the full card for you but the rest of it wont fit in the file for some stupid reason.


Okay, so that's what I have. Please comment, rate, criticize (within reason).

Can't chain to a win condition. Maybe if you made it a continuous Trap, since most Alt wins don't run MST or similar, I believe. Then you could actually USE it.

Crap, didn't think about that. Yeah, continuous makes sense. I'll change that. Thanks.

Also, I thought about making the card's effect unable to be negated, but I'm not sure if that would cause the card to be overpowered or not. (Of course, the initial activation of the card could be negated, but not the actual effect. Not sure if that balances it or not.)

The wording, I'd say would have to be something like:
"Pay 2000 Life Points to activate this card. When your opponent would win the duel with a card effect while this card is face-up: You win instead."
That would be the only way of wording it, I believe that would let you win, since, as I said, you can't chain to an instant win effect, so you cant Pay 2000 life points to activate the effect.
Other people know better, but that's my take on it.

True. The wording DOES imply chaining. I'll change THAT now lol. Thanks again. You're completely right about it, so don't worry lol.

And actually, just one thing wrong with the wording you suggested. The instant wins aren't effects. They're conditions, so the wording would still have to say it is fulfilling a condition.
