Ectoplasmorphisis --- {The Spirit Destroyer} ---

[PaladinCards]

 

LORE:

Tribute 1 Spirit-Type Monster you control.  Destroy all face-up Spell Cards on the Field.  Your opponent loses 500 Life Points for each card destroyed by this card's effect.

 

-------------------------------------------------------

 

I figured that Spirits are usually weak without Spiritual Energy Settle Machine in play.  And without it, one of the only cards that works with them is Spring of Rebirth.  So, I figured, why not make another way to make weak Spirit Monsters useful?  There are also never that many Continuous Spells face-up on the field to deal 2000 damage with this card's effect, but it is a Quick-Play Spell, so you can activate when an opponent activates a Spell, so that its effect isn't completely useless.

 

Questions?  Criticisms?

Any kind of support for Spirits is welcome, I guess. This card seems like too much burn, however - it even includes your own cards so you could destroy 4 of your own Continuous Spells and deal 2000 damage, without even taking into account what your opponent might have. Also, Spirit is not a Type and Tribute doesn't need a "you control" complement so it should say "Tribute 1 Spirit monster".

It is highly situational and doesn't really support Spirits that well at all. The only thing this would be slightly good against is the Fire Fist and that is pretty much about it. Also it sounds like this card was made with the sole purpose of blowing up your own existing cards to deal a small amount of damage to your opponent. Also there are more than 2 spirit support cards out there so long story short while this card is realistic I don't think its that good.

Terribly, underpowered. Spirits are already so poor, no one would want to tribute them really because you always go -2 trying to recover them from the Graveyard. The reason it's underpowered is the face-up clause, if you remove that, it's a cost-requiring Heavy Storm, and that would perhaps be a unbalanced, maybe.

Spell Shattering Arrow does the exact same thing but without the cost of a monster and your spells are spared. This thing is just useless. Maybe if you returned a Spirit monster to your hand (so that you're not minusing yourself) or hit Traps too (or facedowns) then this might see play/.
