[Warrior / Synchro / Effect]

ATK/ 2300   DEF/    0

During each of your End Phases: discard 1 card OR banish the top 2 cards of your Deck. When this card destroys your opponent's monster by battle and would send it to the Graveyard: you can banish 1 monster from your hand or Graveyard: Special Summon the destroyed monster to your side of the field in Defense Position instead. Any monster Special Summoned by this effect cannot be used as Xyz Material.You can only control 1 face-up "Knight of Souls."

 

 

 

I kinda' like how it still has that OP Goyo effect yet with bigger draw backs. Something still makes me feel a little iffy about it so if you have any fixing ideas, please tell!

ok, i like the idea but WHY would u banish the top two cards of your deck instead of discarding one card? other than that its ok.

Well, I wouldn't use it. It's so riddled with drawbacks and has such low ATK that the effect is not needed or even desirable. What good is a monster that probably has no synergy with your deck anyway, and can't be used as a material or even attack?

 

Nothing that could make this right now would really, WANT to. There are better Level 6 Synchros than this. And most things that can make Level 6 Synchros have very little space anyway. Your OCG could use a little fix though.

 

During each of your End Phases: discard 1 card OR banish the top 2 cards of your Deck. When this card destroys your opponent's monster by battle and would send it to the Graveyard: you can banish 1 monster from your hand or Graveyard whose ATK is equal to or higher then the ATK of the destroyed monster; Special Summon the destroyed monster to your side of the field in Attack Position instead. Any monster Special Summoned by this effect cannot be used as Synchro or Xyz Material, its effect(s) is negated, and it cannot attack the turn it was summoned. You can only control 1 face-up "Knight of Souls."

 Because you would not lose advantage to keep an already subpar card around. Certain Decks might think otherwise, but it is a general rule that sending cards from the top of your deck to the graveyard or banished pile is better than losing cards in your hand.

agreed

Tell me, please, what would happen if I took out the banishing of the top 2 cards effect due to this card. Say you have no cards in your hand - what the heck do you do? Just say "I have no cards in my hand so I'll just keep this OP card on my field and make this drawback utterly useless."

 

I didn't want to change the "banish the top 2" because I would not want to replace it with "destroy this card" because that would make under powered.

Okay, I can see that now. I notice it actually is very under powered.

 

I changed it's ATK and took out 2 drawbacks.

 

Tell me what you think.

It's still rather mediocre. The first part of the card is completely unnecessary IMO, in that it either appeals to banish decks in an odd or slow fashion or punishes you. Also, regarding the Goyo effect, I don't think that having to banish a monster with the same/greater ATK as the creature you're trying to summon is necessary. That'd completely nerf it, because most synchro decks revolve around using little guys to do things, so you probably wouldn't have much to banish. Banishing a monster period from hand or grave is fine though.

Well the reason why I gave the first part of the effect was because this guy stays on the field from an easy summon and can just take your opponent's monsters easily.

 

Though I will change the "banish 1 with equal to or higher..blah blah."
