The Shower of Stars

[Piercer of the Heavens]

*Old man voice*

"I've lived long enough on this planet. I've suffered too much. Every time I see one of you I wish for the same thing over and over. Rid this planet from its suffering, please I beg of you. I don't know if I can make it long enough to wish once more-" 

                                

Lore: Each time a Spell or Trap card is activated, place one "Shooting Star" counter on this card. If this card would be destroyed you can remove one "Shooting Star" counter or pay 1000 Life Points instead. Once per turn, you can remove 3 "Shooting Star" counters from this card; destroy one card on the field.

 

So I'm procrastinating on writing an essay so I decided: Why not make a card? So I did...

Hopefully I balanced out the card so the "destroy all monsters" is OP.

I understand your statement about making it balanced, but now it kind of seems underpowered - mostly because, well, it's a Dark Hole with a cost. Of course, we already have a Dark Hole at 1 so why this?

 

However, I think you can improve upon it by making it like this:

 

Each time a Spell card is activated, place one "Shooting Star" counter on this card. If this card would be destroyed you can remove one "Shooting Star" counter or pay 1000 Life Points instead. Once per turn, you can remove 2 "Shooting Star" counters from this card; destroy one card on the field.

 

I think this would be a better lore because the previous one seemed kind of underpowered. Also, change the name - if nothing else to "Star Shower". The passive voice does not not work in this title.

 

By the way, good luck on your essay.

Don't think I disliked your review and didn't comment. I haven' had much access to the laptop(its a family laptop so it is shared among three people) and I hate posting through my phone. 

 

I had it destroy all monsters because this card also had an ideal to it. I personally don't support this ideal, but I find it interesting. "How would you end the suffering a living being? By healing its current wound(whether physical or emotional)? No, you kill it. This way that living being will never suffer anymore." That is also why I put that text above the card. The old man wants to end the suffering on this planet, but the stars way of doing it is by destroying all life on the planet. Anyways, time for your actual review.

 

Thanks for the review by the way and I changed the name like you said. I also used your lore as a base since I wanted to make this card more playable. I made the cost three counters because personally removing only two counters to destroy any card on the field seems too much. As well, your lore said that it would only get counters from spell card activation while I still kept the trap card portion as well. I did keep your optional "pay 1000 life points" to save the card in case it has no counters. So yeah, thanks for the review. 

 

As for the essay, I did finish it. Although, I couldn't think of anything to write until 1 in the morning.
