[spoiler='It is a full moon tonight, and Seven said I should keep watch here. Honestly, what is she thinking...?']You can Special Summon this card from your hand by Banishing 1 LIGHT and 1 EARTH monster from your Graveyard. You can Special Summon this card from your Graveyard by Banishing 1 LIGHT and 1 EARTH monster from your hand. When this card destroys an opponent's monster in battle and sends it to the Graveyard: You can halve this card's ATK; This card can attack once again. This effect of "Wielder of the Chain Swords, Kalen" can only be used once per turn.[/spoiler]

 

Because Dark Simorgh doesn't get enough love. And I absolutely love this picture.

The main thing holding it back is lack of a good context.  I have never seen a deck that can consistently get both LIGHTs and EARTHs in the graveyard, due to their respective archetypes being very single-focused.  You could make the BLS argument, but I find that rather invalid given the fact that BLS is extremely powerful.  As for the card in practice, it's underwhelming.  Being a double attacker is *ok*, but then you had to go ahead and halve the poor guy's ATK in addition to banishing a spell from your hand to do so.  On a 24 beater that doesn't climb much, this isn't much of a reward.

 

Fixes:  Boost the ATK to 25.  Then, make its double-attacking effect banish a spell from the graveyard.  I'd also consider amending the sumoning conditions as well, but due to your post, I don't think that you want to do that.

I dunno, I think I might make a LIGHT/EARTH Archetype solely for the sake of this card.

 

And I think I'll just get rid of the Banishing a Spell part, because Splendid Rose does nearly the same thing. And I might bump it up to 2600.
