Therrion Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 1 Spellcaster-Type Xyz Monster + 1 LIGHT monster Must be Fusion Summoned by sending the above materials from under your control or in your hand to the Graveyard, and cannot be Summoned other ways. (You do not use "Polymerization".) When this card is Fusion Summoned: Banish 1 Spellcaster-Type Xyz Monster from your Graveyard; Put Star Counters on this card equal to the Rank of the banished Xyz Monster. This card gains 400 ATK for each Star Counter on it. Once per turn, you can remove 2 Star Counters from this card to banish 1 card on the field, then draw 1 card. Essentially requiring atleast 3 monsters to achieve (2 for the Xyz, then an extra one), rewarding you for your efforts the higher Rank Xyz Monster you produce. I made the 2nd material require LIGHT to prevent Big Eye Dragon Ruler shenanigans. This was recently used in a contest that no other participants bothered posting cards for, so I thought I'd get feedback here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galkin Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 It's not bad. Although, I could see some issues. Anyone could just banish a rank 10 Xyz and have this card gain 5000 Atk, then use its effect for a +2. I don't think that level of power should be usable by a fusion that has no need for polymerazation and counts an easy second material. It is a nice card, but its ease-to-power ratio is too much. With that, I suggest that maybe you make summoning it harder, otherwise weaken its other effects a bit. I really see no reason making a fusion monster have the exact same effect as the card that is suppose to summon it and that fact alone warrants a limitation on its power.

Therrion Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I could make it banish only a Spellcaster Xyz, maxing the ATK at 3500. Alternatively, make the ATK only x 400 as opposed to 500, making a 10=4000. Although, I may just do both. It has bothered me some that a Rank 7 Xyz would provide a 3500 Beater with such a great effect, even if she is like Arcanite in the way she loses 1000 per use of effect. EDITED (effect under the card). Thoughts on the changes? I did the above. ^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawayn Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 It requires a little effort to get out, but rewards you for it, so it isn't bad. The changes you made pretty much remove any qualms I have with the card. I'm assuming that Prophecies would probably run her. @1 probably. I am kinda hesitant of an effect that banishes as well as lets you draw, but the fact that it gets weaker and it is limited to Spellcasters only, I think it is good. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therrion Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Yeah, I was kind of on the edge about a +2 for Star Counters, but I figured it would be okay if you had to ditch an Xyz Monster and another attribute-specific material, which is far more then it takes to Summon Arcanite Fusion (which is destroy or draw at the cost of the same ATK). It would also make players want to run the higher Rank Spellcaster Xyz monsters (though sadly Big Eye is amongst those). I may make it require another Spellcaster as opposed to a LIGHT monster, just to make it more geared towards Spellcaster Support instead of a splashable "I use Big Eye and have some LIGHT Monsters herp de durp!"
