Bad-People

Recommended Posts

This is a monster I'm making for a gambler deck that's heavy on coin-flips and dice rolls.

 

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

 

Coin Warrior

 

Light/Rank 5/Fairy/Xyz/Effect/ATK 2300/DEF 1950

 

(Appears as a small pixie using a millennium-eye coin as a shield) 

 

2 Level 5 Monsters

Detach 1 Xyz Material to reverse the effects of a coin-flip.

 

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

 

I'm looking for some additional effects I could put on this as well.

Rank 5 is not the easiest Rank to make, due to most Level 5 monsters needing to be Special Summoned or Tribute Summoned, and in the case of the former, Level 4 or lower monsters usually have an easier time. Unless the other cards you're making that help to make this card are good at making Rank 5 monsters, you will have difficulties pulling this off.

 

Then we have the issue of what it does and its stats. First, it's weaker than the likes of the more useful Xyzs, such as Volcasaurus and Tiras. Secondly, its effect to reverse a coin flip is situational, even if it turns a bad effect into a good one. Unless the coin tosses are crazy-broke things like "Heads, blow up 2 cards on your opponent's side of the field. Tails, blow up 2 cards on your side of the field," this will be completely inferior to the already-used Rank 5s. Plus, this card's lone effect is an incarnation of Double Coin Toss, which can just appear out of your hand, as opposed to this.

 

Give it another effect or two. But if you're giving it a coin-flip effect such as how Time Wizard has, make sure it doesn't get to switch its coin result. That sounds a bit counterproductive to the whole luck idea and prevents the card from having a decent luck effect.

meaning that you make heads become tails and viceversa? If so, it doesn't need to be 2 level 5 monsters, 2nd coin toss is way less costly for a similar idea already .

Also, for another effect, if you want to keep the rank 5 status, maybe add a powerful coin flip effect, but make the flip modifying effect only apply to other cards?

'Second Coin Toss'(Which will also be in this deck) only lets you toss the coin again meaning if you want heads and it comes up tails, even with  second coin toss it can still come up tails again. With this if you want head and it comes up tails, you can make it heads. It's kind of like cheating but that's what makes this a key card.

Yeah, you do have a 50% chance of it going haywire, but the effort used to Summon your monster, when compared to the preexisting Spell, makes it a lot better to take the risk rather than missing out on a chance on making Volca just to reverse a Fairy Box coin toss or two, which brings me to a point I forgot to address in my previous post. Cards such as Tiras and Volca do not rely on your other cards being what they are, they just need two Level 5 monsters. This requires not only the Level 5 monsters, but other cards that require coin tosses, in order to function. In the case of Arcana Force monsters, there's Light Barrier, which cheats for you. The whole "coin cheating" concept is just too weak for what requirements you currently have.

Which is why I'm trying to come up with additional effects, but the sheer number of card going into this deck that have coin tosses(roughly half of them, many of which I'm writing myself) will make this card much more effective. 

 

Granted it's going to be less useful in most decks but I think in terms of archetypes more than loose cards.

What in the world can make this in a coin flip deck?... Unless, of course, it's going to be part of an archetype, in which case that's fair enough, but still, the fact remains that it's lacking in stats and overall effect. If such a deck had THIS as a boss monster, I would assume that the deck had no other monsters that did this, in which case it'd be pretty bad...and as it is right now, it's unplayable. 5/10 if part of something bigger, 2/10 if not.
