A sorceress that channels the power of Hamon. The appearance of of this spellcaster always precedes the summoning of a monstrous thunderstorm. Survivors of these storms report rumors of seeing a massive creature in the sky above.

Really great. Shouldn't the effect that places 2 Spells face-up say not only their effects are negated but they remain face-up as continuous spell cards OR do you mean it to target only Continous Spell Cards, in which case why not add that target requirement in. Also, perhaps instead of the destroying an opponent's monster by battle effect, it could return itself from the banish zone face-up as a Continous Spell card. That way, you not only search Hamon, but could get a Spell Card for him. This would also work well with the last effect. Just some thoughts.

I was thinking, why not make it a Thunder-type like it's Sacred Beast counterpart instead of it being a Spellcaster.

An interesting card to say the least, but not sure it would see much play. The Sacred Beasts are pretty slow and aren't too consistent. This card definitely ups the speed, but Crystal Beasts probably still do it better, and this would just get in their way. It is a solid card in and of itself, but when put into gameplay it falls short. I agree that it could probably be changed to Thunder-Type, as well as reworking for its targeting methods, either say Continuous Spell card, or make it so that the spell card is treated as Continuous. I do not however think that being able to return itself to the field as a Spell Card and gain 2 more spell cards is necessary. That is an instant Hamon, and I feel that without a drawback that would make it overpowered. However, if it a drawback was introduced it would definitely up the speed and consistency of such a deck. I see potential in the card, but more could probably be done with it.

Interesting ideas, and yeah, they are supposed to become Continuous Spell Cards. I will think on the effect, perhaps mess with it a bit. Thanks for the review!

Yeah, I know they are kinda slow, and while Crystal Beasts might do it better, I am looking into ways that could possibly make the Sacred Beasts more playable as a whole. Thanks for the review!
