Cerberus Sentinel (Sora Single)

[Sora1499]

Haven't made a card in a while.  Eh, whatever.

 

Another Rank 5 for Zombie decks and by Zombie decks I mean the new vampires.

 

Also, suggestions for a better name are very much appreciated.  I'm thinkin "Cerberus Hellhound".

 

Comment, review, rate, hate, whatever.  Enjoy!

 

             

[spoiler='Effecto']2 or more level 5 monsters (max 4)
Once per turn: You can target 1 monster in either graveyard; attach that target to this card as Xyz material. When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, you can attach it to this card as Xyz material instead of sending it to the graveyard.  During your Battle Phase: You can detach 4 Xyz Materials from this card; this card's ATK becomes double its original ATK and it can attack each monster your opponent controls once each (these effects last until the End Phase).  Other monsters cannot declare an attack during a turn in which this effect was used.[/spoiler]

It encourages destroying their monsters to get them as materials, but for the effect to matter it needs a lot of attack position targets to be worth it. As of now, it is burst build up, slow reward, for nothing all too special. While yes, upon Summon it will have 2, gain a 3rd via effect, then probably off a monster for a 4th material, it now must wait until next turn to use the effect. It has no protection (which is fine, to an extent), and its omega "detach 4" is just a Ultimate Tyranno with 5200 power (which, while that is alot, the turn heads up will make it so they won't place attack position monsters).

 

I suggest making the detach effect a SS2 effect. Thus, after it hits that 4th material after destroying a monster, it can use its effect and hit the other monsters as well, providing the one time this card will hit for battle damage (assuming your opponent has their monsters in attack position) and a more instant reward (who wouldn't go into Tiras for protection and double destroy?).

 

Objections welcome.

 

Oh, the name. There is nothing Hound about this card. The heads are clearly Reptilian/Dragon, and the body is a mix of many things. It doesn't come off "Zombie", nor "Cerberus", and the name "Cerberus Mauler" made me laugh as I thought of it as something that just mauls the crap out of Cerberus for shiz and giggles. I suggest ditching Cerberus entirely, as it doesn't seem fitting (I know, "It has three heads!?!!!", but that is not all Cerberus is).

Making it trigger as soon as it hits that 4th mat...  I actually kinda like this idea.

 

So I'd change the third effect to "During the battle phase: You can detach 4 Xyz material from this card, and if you do, this card's original ATK is doubled, until the end phase, and also, it can attack all monsters your opponent controls once each.", right?

 

As for teh name...  I'll think something up, idk.

Using Susano/Excaliber/(Darklon/Zerofyne) for examples of how to word it. Counter examples welcome.
