Gallant Dragon

[BrainEater]

Hello. I haven't kept up with the metagame or recent releases and developments for quite some time, so it will take a while for me to get up to speed. Here's a new card I figured I would share and get some feedback. Thanks for viewing!

 

 

Lore:

1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner Dragon-Type monsters

This card inflicts Piercing damage. When this card is Synchro Summoned: flip all Set monsters on the field face-up; negate their effect until the End Phase. Once per turn, you can return 2 face-up cards you control to the deck: this card gains 700 ATK until the End Phase.

 

EDIT: Image came from Sword Summoner's bucket. Also, changed level stars from 9 to 10.

Admittedly, it's a good card, even the effect is balanced, however it shouldn't be a level 9, mostly because Mist Wurm is usually preferable to summon over this. If this, however, was a Level 10 or something along those lines, this would be more chosen. Thus, that is what I advise.

 

Overall, nice card. I like it.

Any other takers?

It's really nice. If this card were to come out, i'd use it in the new blue-eyes deck. Though, as good as the card is, there's a few OCG errors. Here's my retext:
"When this card is Synchro Summoned, you can flip all face-down defense position monsters your opponent controls face-up, and if you do, negate their effect(s) until the End Phase. During battle between this monster and an opponent's defense position monster, inflict piercing damage to your opponent. Once per turn, you can return 2 face-up cards you control to the deck to have this card gain 700 ATK until tge End Phase."

Thanks for the input, although there are a couple of inconsistencies. The effect is supposed to flip everybody's Set monsters up, and the effect isn't optional.

It may not seem like it will happen that often, but i've seen situations like that.

Well, I thought I'd make the effect mandatory as a way to balance the card. Although, I'd hate to be using this card and have its effect screw me in such a specific scenario.

Decent card, but not all that great given the format.

 

It being a 3k+ beater is nice, running over those BEWDs like nobody's business.  It's also a generic level 9 synchro, so it gets some points from me.

 

In this day and age, piercing is hardly useful.  It makes the card more intimidating I suppose.

 

The other effect would be good if people actually set monsters anymore, but they rarely do so.  Although I do like that it also negates their effects.  Take THAT, Ryko!

 

The last effect seems like a hefty investment for little gain, a mere 700 ATK.  If I were you, I'd make it only shuffle 1 card to activate the effect.

Alternatively, would 1000 more ATK for 2 cards be fair?
