MASTER OF SHADOWS

DARK

* * * * * * * * * *

[Fiend / Effect]

ATK/    ?   DEF/    ?

 

You can reveal this card to your opponent and banish the top 10 cards of your Deck. If at least 5 of the cards banished were DARK monsters: Special Summon this card from your hand; its ATK and DEF are equal to the number of DARK monsters banished by this effect x500 (max. 5000) . When this card leaves the field: Shuffle all cards banished by this effect into your Deck. You can control only 1 "Master of Shadows".

Works well with Necroface, allowing for a pretty big boost. The ATK stat on this guy is rather lacking assuming it banishes about 6 (making it a 2400). Not much to say about it, just an easy to Summon Level 10 which I assume was the intended purpose, in which case well done. Works amazing with Renegade's http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/303406-phantasmal-envoy-single-challenge-89100/ if that is what inspired you to make this. Otherwise, I got nothin.

It seems like a very big risk for a pretty low reward, unless you've got the Different Dimension cards in your deck. I mean, a lot of people recommend you run as close to 40 cards as possible. It's an interesting idea though... And the art is awesome.

[Therrion]

Well the danger of decking out isn't that high, and hopefully you're using a deck that can win before you draw 30 cards and make this unplayable, otherwise you're Yu-Gi-Oh!ing wrong.

The art is infact sexy.

[TRUE RULER^(Imper.Di )]

The issue with the card is that you can instantaneously thin 10 cards from your deck. BUT because it does not fill the graveyard it leans towards being balanced. 10 is a HUGE cost. I mean, you could lose DAD instantly. I'd up the ATK gain to 500/600. It can max at 5000/6000 this way, but come on it might only get 2500/3000 as opposed to the measely 2000 minimum that you're more likely to land on.

Thanks for all the replies.

 

@Therrion: I didn't intentionally make it link up with Renegade's card but I love how this came out to help it out.

 

@DarkWithin: Well, that's the point. You have to make it a huge drawback, you're basically summoning a level 10 monster with 2000+ ATK, so it needs a big drawback. But the last clause says that when it leaves the field, all those cards get sent back.

 

@Imperium: Like I said, you can't summon a level 10 with 2000+ ATK out of the blue without a big drawback. But remember, that when it leaves, you get all the cards back, so it only takes 10 out for the moment. I think I might make the suggestion about the ATK, though.

[DarkWithin9867]

Yeah, 2000 ATK on a level 10 that only has the ATK gain effect isn't that great though.

Also, you should probably add the standard "Cannot be normal summoned or set" clause, unless the gain applies to any banished monsters on your side. If so, this would actually work with my new Darkblade archetype quite well.

[PrimeAceJohn]

Well I changed the effect to Imperium's suggestion.

 

But "Cannot be normal summoned or set" doesn't really matter that much honestly. If you want to Normal Summon this card with 0 ATK, you can go right ahead
