A Phantom Knight


Recommended Posts

Lore: If this monster is sent from your deck to the graveyard, you can Special Summon this monster. If this monster is Special Summoned from the graveyard, you can target 1 of your opponent's monsters: Banish it, then send the top card of your deck to the graveyard.

 

A few problems with this card I've already noticed:

Armageddon Knight

Foolish Burial

The idea isn't really new, its like a slower Lightsworn gimmick.

DARK monsters get into the Grave much more easily than LIGHT monsters, due to cards such as Armageddon Knight and Dark Grepher. So in addition to being a Wulf that can go off much more often than Wulf, it's also a Zaborg that banishes upon its Wulf-like SS and has the so-called "cost" that Glow-Up had, but as part of the effect. Another advantage that this has over Wulf is that it isn't almost completely dead in your hand, as you can Normal Summon it (why you would want to is beyond me, but the ability exists) and it still serves as discard fodder for Lumina.

 

The biggest problem with it is that you're trying to make a DARK Wulf, which would need careful balancing due to cards such as Armageddon Knight and Grepher. Then you've decided to back it up with the free banishing, which is in itself a pretty powerful effect. Even Wulf can be problematic. He isn't the most broken card ever, but Konami has to design their cards carefully to make sure his self-SS ability doesn't get out of hand. The preexisting "Send DARK monsters to the Grave" abilities are just a bit too much for there to be a DARK Wulf, and if one were to appear, he would need to be balanced in a way that would not combo too well with Grepher or Armageddon. This would probably result in DARK Wulf being simply bad, just to keep him from being broken. Being Level 5 and having the mediocre ATK helps, but the banishing is unnerving.
