Milkshake Quartet

By tributing this face-up card on the field you can summon four Milkshake Tokens(Water/Level 1/Aqua/ATK 400/DEF 300) in face-up attack position or Face-up defense position. These Tokens can't be used as tribute for tribute summons.

Too similar and less effective than Scapegoat.

There's a few reasons that's not true. A: The Milkshake tokens are stronger than Sheep Tokens. (Not that big a deal I'll grant you as they're still pretty weak) B: You can still summon on the turn this is activated. C: This is a monster and not a spell. (Witch I assume is why you feel it's less effective, but still a solid difference.)

 

Also you never know when subtle differences like earth vs water or beast vs aqua will come into play.

[I have the odd feeling you were waiting for someone to mention Scapegoat. Oh well.]

 

I mean, I guess you could use it in an Aqua Deck;

but realistically you just summoned it, used the effect, now you have 4 tokens that can't be used for a tribute summon.

You could use Aqua support cards, but is this card really necessary? Seems too..not needed.

Why attack or defense position? Just make up your mind. It's a bit overpowered if you can choose. -_-

 

I guess you could use Token Stampede with it.

I guess you could use other Token support cards.

But really though, it's just a Scapegoat that is supported by Aqua archetype. And uses up a normal summon.

 

But if I really had to make this card, I would make it 3 tokens, so it's not so similar to Scapegoat. And you have 2 monster zones left.

I probably would have made it three but I saw that art and I HAD to use it. I mean look at it. And as there are four in the art I made it four.

I suppose I can't argue against that kind of logic.

But what if you could special summon them on any side of the field?

Then I would definitely support this- they can't tribute it, and it takes up monster zone space! Not to mention you could put them in attack mode for easy battle damage.

 

Just a thought.

People underestimate tokens I find. Just because they can't be used for tribute summons doesn't mean they aren't useful. You can use them with low-level support cards, use them as payment for cards that require a tribute from the field, or as material for synchro or Xyz summons(Not in this case as I don't know of any xyz that require level 1s).

Well, I mean, if I wanted Scapegoat, I would have gotten it. You know what I mean?

I know Tokens are useful and why. It's just that...this card is really similar to Scapegoat, and it doesn't do much else that Scapegoat can't.

I don't know. Maybe this is a good card, but i'm uncomfortable with a card that mostly copies Scapegoat's already overpowered effect.

 

At least add some sort of original spin, like "You can tribute a token to send a monster card to the hand" or something. Something Scapegoat doesn't do.

Tokens cannot be used for Xyz Summon. So that made your point moot. As for the card itself, I still think Scapegoat is better in a way that it can be used on your opponent's turn AND it's a quick-play. However, this doesn't mean it's a bad card. As you mentioned, it can be used for Synchro-ing. It also has the bonus of being WATER and Aqua, so it can benefit from the huge amount of support it has right now. Plus, it's Unlimited. So you can run three of these (Not that you would anyway). However, the Tokens do tend to congest and block out a huge amount of potential. So, it would be better if it summoned 2 level 2 tokens and make it so that you can only use 1 Milkshake Quartet per turn. This way, it won't block your cards and it's easier to Synchro with. 

 

In conclusion, it's better in WATER decks, but Scapegoat is more useful outside of it. Fix it according to my suggestions, and you have something that helps WATER decks.
