Another Mirror Force

[KrazyKris96]

Another mirror force to add to the collection!

 

 

Effect:

Activate only during the end phase of a turn where 5 or more of your cards were destroyed and sent to the graveyard; destroy all monsters your opponent controls. If this face down card is sent to the graveyard by a card effect, you can activate its effect from the graveyard during the end phase it was sent to the graveyard.

This card is useless. First, it is a Trap card, second, it requires monsters to be destroyed to destroy, just what? It is never going to be useful, and since it is your own field you nuke as well, what are you going to use this for? It's bad bad bad bad bad.

If you read the card you would see that, one, it requires for 5 CARDS to be destroyed to triger its effect, not monsters. So if you get black hole and heavy stormed (Or even Judgement Dragon'd or Ojama'd)- or anyother similar effects, it can act as a defense mechanism. Also, it destroys none of your own monsters, just your oppements. So its purely a defense mechanism if your oppement goes on a destruction spree with card effects. The fact it is a trap card is only so you can activate it at the end of your oppements end phase also. Sure it could be a quick play also, but I chose trap card, to fit in with the fact other "Mirror Force" cards are traps.

I have spotted one flaw with it though- of it were to be heavy stormed, then it would also be destroyed, so I've edited its effect to allow for adjustment.

Five cards is a lot, even with mass removal such as Dark Hole, Heavy Storm, and Flash of the Forbidden Seal JD. Having so many cards on the field at once is not exactly always going to happen unless your Deck is Spell/Trap heavy. A lot of times, when such mass removal is played, your opponent will be trying to go for game, in which blasting your opponent's frontrow will simply not happen since you would have already lost.

 

There already is an answer to mass-field-removal, the cards Starlight Road and The Huge Revolution is Over. Both of which stop your cards from being destroyed, and the former puts a Stardust Dragon on your field for you out of nowhere. They are both much easier to play because all that is required is for an effect to activate and try to destroy 2 or more cards on the field. This, on the other hand, requires for 5+ of your cards to have been destroyed, then only punishes your opponent at the end of the turn. Effect destruction is becoming more and more easy to bypass these days, with cards such as Dracossack, Zenmaines, Gachi, and Maestroke, and those are just the first few Xyz Monsters I could think up of.

 

I suggest modeling the effect after SLR/THRiO (the two cards in the above paragraph) rather than requiring such a big thrashing on your field for a slow effect.

The problem is that it requires 5 of your cards to be destroyed and all it does is destroy your opponent's monsters. Unless your opponent has a completely full field of monsters, you are never going to see any real payoff here or even live to see the End Phase. You need to set-up 5 cards, then you need to hope your opponent destroys them all (or you do that).

 

Most people don't put monsters face-down these days, so Lightning Vortex has a similar outcome for a lesser cost. If anything, you could upgrade its effect by destroying your opponent's whole field, seeing as this effect is really strict and costy, but even then, I can guarantee no one will use it. There are just better options that overextending yourself and hoping your opponent destroys 5 or more of your cards, then gives you time for you to activate this.

 

With that, I think its best that the effect is changed so you can activated it at any time during the turn 5 or more are destroyed.

I'll change it to an instant effect at the time of destruction, but i have a couple of thoughts:

• Should I make it multiple choice (Where as you can use stronger effects when more cards are destroyed)?
• Should I make it a field wipe, due to the high cost (given I keep it at 5 and not the above multiple choice idea)?
• Should it negate the destruction of cards?
