New re-vamped Poly! Fusions are suddenly playable!

[Sora1499]

Sorry I haven't been posting any cards lately, I've been working on re-vamping Fusions to make them playable in a practical setting.

 

Anyways, everyone knows that poly sucks balls.  While it is searchable and recyclable by multiple cards, the fact remains that it's a freaking -2 AND requires specific materials.  This has led to the decline of usable Fusions, save for GB fusions, Hero fusions, Gem-Knight fusions, and the occasional Five-Headed Dragon. 

 

My new card aims to change that.

 

I've also got a whole bunch of support for it that I'll be releasing soon as well as new Fusion monsters.  So please feel free to do the same!  :D

 

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

[spoiler='Effect']Send, from your side of the field or your hand to the Graveyard, one of the Fusion Material Monsters listed on a Fusion Monster in your Extra Deck, then banish the other Fusion Material Monster(s) listed on that Fusion Monster from your side of the field, your hand, or your Graveyard and Special Summon that Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck (this Special Summon is treated as a Fusion Summon).[/spoiler]

 

Design notes:

*Sora, why didn't you just make it a generic Miracle Fusion?

I didn't make it a generic miracle fusion for a few reasons.  First and foremost, it would encourage the development of degenerate turbo decks for fusions on top of restricting their card design (as far as material requirements go).  That and I don't think that Heroes deserve 6 miracle fusions.  O-O

 

*Why do you still have to send that first card to the grave in the old way?

This I did for flavor as well as balance.  With Poly, fusions required you to actually have the materials on-hand.  This emulates that to a less extreme extent.  In addition, now fusions carry the same card advantage burden as Xyz and Synchros: a -1.

So can this send a Cyber Dragon to the Graveyard, then banish that very same Cyber Dragon for a Cyber Twin Dragon? Since it says "then", it isn't unbelievable that it could.
I like it, and it is a much needed requirement for Fusions. Either that, or a complete rehaul of the subtype to make them not need Poly, ever. (What this site does to Fusions, I know right? Horrid.)

Good card, Sora.

Good card, Sora.

One addition to this: You would still have a slight disadvantage, as not many things can bring cards back from being Banished, whereas there is a myriad of graveyard assistance. And I still fail to see how this helps "Average joe fusion", as most of them are still pretty suxxors anyway. Kind of a reason the majority of them aren't run, haha.

Well, most of them suck cuz their materials suck, lol, but there are some fusions with decent mats that still suck cuz poly sucks.

True. I was thinking of like, the "Flower WOlf" fusion and the like, that have meh stats, lame materials, and no worthwhile effects, lol. Maybe I should go brush up on my fusions again.
