Flame Swordswoman. What?

[Tirasa]

Saw a neat picture, couldn't think of a name... Well, here it is.

 

Effect:

You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by Tributing 1 FIRE monster. When this card is Summoned: You can target up to 2 Level 3 or lower FIRE monsters in your Graveyard; equip them to this card as Equip Spell Cards. This card gains 200 ATK for each Equip Spell Card equipped by this card's effect. When this card declares an attack: You can send 1 Equip Spell Card equipped by this card's effect to the Graveyard; your opponent cannot activate card effects until the end of the Battle Phase.

The card is rather weak. It is interesting to say the least, however, its protection requires set up (1-2 Level 3 or lower FIRE monsters in Graveyard) and only boasts 2300 attack, which in most cases, isn't good enough to want to Tribute for (even the Special Summon effect). I will suggest several ways as to increase competitiveness, but the card is nice as a whole, and maybe a 100ATK boost would suffice to be a good casual card. I'll include a list later anyways, after the OCG.

 

The OCG was a nice attempt, especially for a newish YCMer, however not home.

You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by Tributing 1 FIRE monster. When this card is Summoned: You can target up to 2 Level 3 or lower FIRE monsters in your Graveyard; equip them to this card as Equip Spell Cards. When this card declares an attack: You can send 1 Equip Spell Card equipped by this card's effect to the Graveyard; your opponent cannot activate card effects until the end of the Battle Phase.

 

Suggestions

-100 ATK Boost, putting it on the 2400 threshold.

-Interchangably, a 1/200 boost for each card equipped to it, giving incentive to not ditch the Equips and reward the player for actually running the Level 3 or lowers. *

-As a FIRE monster, destroying your own cards for Summon would be much more beneficial and increase playability by leaps and bounds, as opposed to Tributing. Though, that would reduce the unique value this card brings to the table.

 

* = My most backed Suggestion

Thanks tons for the feedback. I'll both put in the corrected OCG and revise the effect a bit. What about putting the base at 2400 and using the ATK boost effect? As such, it'd be both a bit stronger on its own and still have decent power if equipped.

[Therrion]

That would be even better, making it a somewhat viable option from a beatdown standard as well.

Tributes have to be pretty darn good to be ran, so you have some leway into giving them some really good effects.

I think having all effects during the battle phase unusable makes it slightly more powerful than it should be. the effect itself isn't bad, but negating all monster, magic, and trap cards, on top of the boost and the ease of summon makes it like a more powerful version of the Ancient gears. or that one Keeper Synchro. preventing all effects during the battle phase provides for extremely powerful monsters to hit field and wipe your opponent out. a deck build with her in mind would probably be able to pull off some horribly unblockable battle phase based plays.

 

All in all

8/10 as far as design goes, she's splashable in quite a few fire decks, and she's still a warrior, so she could probably be a nice addition to boxer decks as well.

 

8.5/10 in power if you have a well built deck for it. she will cover everything you need to handle in the battle phase, the only thing you'd even need to worry about would be keeping her safe outside of it.

Because of the name, I thought it would somehow be releated to Flame Swordsman, sadly that  isn't the case. Sadness apart, this card is good but not great. It's a decent card but it's mainly just a beatstick. It's Battle Phase shenanigans stopper isn't actually that good. It has to declare an attack for the effect to go off, AND it starts a chain which means your opponent can just chain to the effect activation and still use their Mirror Force/Compulsory/D-Prison to get rid of her. And on top of that, she can only use the effect twice and only with the cards she equipped. That said, if at any point she gets Veilered, she's just a 2400 vanilla (she'd lose her equips, even if she's Veilered after the initial summon). But it still stops the likes of Gorz/Tragoedia/Battle Phase searchers. Being Level 6 gives it some synergy with Hazy Flames, but not much. Card is cool overall just missing something to make her amazing.
