Ghostrick Path

[Zazubat]

 I know this doesn't really hit the theme with Ghostrick all that well, nor is there a mummy (at least not yet, Konami should though, I am sure it would looks adorable) and that they don't really look like their card counterpart, but the main thing here is the effect. My idea was for it to have uses outside of Ghostrick as well (Like Guardian Statue, Swarm of Scarabs, Steal Bird, Snowman Eater etc.) without making it too unbalanced as well.

EDIT: Name changed to Ghostrick Path, also, second effect has been changed.

Once per turn, if the only monsters you control are face-down and/or “Ghostrick” monsters: You can Flip Summon 1 face-down monster on the field, also it gains 500 ATK until the End Phase. When this face-up card is destroyed by your opponnet’s card effect: You can target 1 “Ghostrick” monster in your Graveyard; shuffle it into Deck, then you can add 1 “Ghostrick” Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand, except “Ghostrick Path”. That card, and cards with the same name, cannot be activated this turn.

It's fine for the last part if you could activate from the Deck as well. It's really lackluster. I mean, it's awesome that it's a once-per-turn Book of Taiyou with a 500 ATK boost, but I personally find what Ghostricks need more right now is swarming as because they are all so small and they aren't very strong, it's typical that they should swarm, and flipping your opponent's monsters face-down so that they can attack directly as well as get around annoying stuff. At the moment, it's not exactly something I would run as Ghostricks are already tight on space as is.

 

Flavor-wise, I have no idea how a cartoon has anything to do with what it does, I would've thought this kind of effect would belong to a Jack-in-the-Box or something like that, I dunno, but not this. It looks like they are going down a path, so I'd also rename it Ghostrick Path or something like that instead of making possible allusions to Toon monsters (now that I think of it, Ghostricks are quite similar).

Ghostrick Path seems like a better name, I dunno about activating from the Deck, that just seems sorta cheap to me, anyway thanks for the thoughts.

 

EDIT: New version up, I changed the name and the second effect a bit.

I do have to agree with Aix for this one. GHostricks have puny power but would be more helpful if thye were overhelming with some swarming. Also, how would the opponent know that the ace-down monsters you control are all Ghostricks?

I don't really understand what you mean. If they're face-down, then it doens't matter, however, if you have only Ghostrick monsters face-up, then it also applies for them. I get that swarm support is more needed for them, though if every support card was that, it wouldn't be very interesting now would it?

Oh whoops I thought it said if you controlled face-down Ghostrick monsters. My bad. :(
