DestinyGame Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 [URL=http://imgur.com/xNB6lBj][/URL] 3 Level 3 monsters Once per turn, during the start of your Battle Phase, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to target 1 other Fish/Aqua/Sea Serpent-Type monster you control. The targetted monster gains this card's original ATK, and it can attack your opponent directly. If it does, other monsters you control cannot attack. Your opponent can choose to negate this effect by banishing 1 monster he/she controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darj Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 The card looks good: Nice artwork (altough it somewhat looks like a Machine, from the name one can assume its made of ice), and has an effect similar to Nightmare Shark but with an interesting twist. Even applied on a 1500+ ATK monster, the effect basically forces the opponent to banish a card or take 3300+ damage; and if the opponent is already on low LP, he will have to resort to card banishment. What I don't like is its Summoning requirements. 3 monsters is a lot; I don't think Aqua/Fish/Sea Serpents can consistently swarm that much, and if they do, there might be better Xyz options for the situation, or less costly options like the aforementioned Nightmare Shark. Thus, I think this monster should require 2 materials. That way it will at a closer competition with Nightmare Shark, and it would give players the option of: a. Attacking directly with 2000 ATK. b. If they control a Aqua/Fish/Sea Serpent, attacking directly with 1800+ ATK or banish opponent's card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daigusto Sphreez Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 I like it, the effect would be generous ordinarily, allowing a really salty win, but the ability to banish a monster instead evens it a bit if your opponent has enough field presence to be able to use that option anyway. It doesn't say until the end phase either so I need that clarified, since if the monster permanently had huge attack and direct attacking ability I think this card would be a bit too generous.

Sora1499 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Can I ask where you got that awesome bit of artwork? It looks kickass. The card is inherently balanced with the "other monsters cannot attack clause", and at worst it becomes an 1800 Caius. And you know what, a somewhat situational 1800 Caius is fine for 2 mats. So I'd go with Voltex and make it a 2-mat rank 3. The other option would be an ATKZ increase, but that'd make it gimmicky and I do not condone this.
