_{The effect is a bit too much for a level 4 monster, don't you think? :S Not to mention, Wave-Motion Cannon doesn't contain that much effects. How about you break down the effects and let each effect goes to a monster? It's like making an archetype.}

I agree that the card does a lot, but the solution isn't to make it into 5 underpowered monsters that rely heavily on one another. This card is a single and as such should be able to stand alone without too much support. This is also a test for a possible archetype that I have been working on for quite awhile, so what you are suggesting has already been done to some degree.

The matter of fact here is that if you're running this, you're forced to run it in a bad stall burn deck, which suck. The only good burn deck in the game is Chain Burn, and Chain Burn would never even dream about giving this card a slot(s) in the deck. Also, this card does too much? All it does is destroy a monster when it has 3 or more counters on it, even itself. Not saying that anyone would be stupid enough to put 3 counters on it, but if you want to get the burn effect to trigger, you're forced to have at least 2 counters on this card + another monster on the field to double all effect damage dealt by this cards effect.

 

tl;dr: The effects are not "too much" for this card, especially when you have jump to a lot of hoops to actually get any of its effects to trigger.

Thanks for the review! Guess I am a little rusty from my latest break in card making. Will try to beef it up a bit

 

EDIT: Changed it a bit, but I think that is probably a dead end card. Without an entire archetype it is outclassed.
