Grave Soldier

[Galkin]

 

If this card is Special Summoned by its own effect, banish it when it leaves the field. You can banish 1 card from your Graveyard (except this card); Special Summon this card from your Graveyard, then this card gains 1 of the following effect(s), depending on what Card Type you banished. (This effect of "Grave Soldier" can only be activated once per turn): ● Monster: This card cannot attack. ● Spell: You take all Battle Damage from battles involving this card. ● Trap: This card's original ATK is halved.

Not a Zombie? Madness! Well, at this point "Grave Soldier" sounds more like a placeholder until I get something more intresting coming along...

Nevertheless, the concept is the same. Probably one of the craziest revival cards, allowing to summon itself for no cost (albeit with some harsh drawbacks). I wanted to make this intresting by giving you a choice of what its drawback should be, as they each serve one particular purpose, although they all aim at the same goal of making this incapable of doing serious damage on its own. Anyways, it is level 8...

In stark contrast to the last card of yours I reviewed, this one is risky business to Special Summon, and I really like that. I know it's ability to Special Summon it is probably more intended to serve as tribute for something like a Synchro or Xyz, which is all good. I think it's got solid stats, but I feel like you can afford to knock it down a few levels given how much it gets punished by its own effect (unless of course that would hinder its potential for being used as Synchro or Xyz material). If you keep it at 8, you might be able to beef its ATK and especially its DEF up a bit. I really like the idea, in any case, and I love the multiple choice aspect of its effect. I don't think there's anything wrong with the OCG, but again I'm bad at that stuff. I give you gold stars. Gold stars all around!
