Nice to test some theory-oh regardless. Anyway, it's like a somewhat more versatile Lance that also has its drawbacks. It can disrupt an opponent's Starlight Road play (at least to some extent), as well as allow you the option to make some skillful plays assuming you use it right. Obviously it's not flawless, but I figured adding the 'drawback' of having to send a Stardust makes it so it's not just a more brainless Lance. I think the cost is actually more fitting than decreasing ATK because it's not as easy to pull off, theoretically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrickster Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 It's rather interesting. It's a Lance which requires an ED send, and has Stardust-like flavor at the end. It's not horribly unbalanced, as you can't Special Summon monsters sent from the Extra Deck to the Graveyard, so that's not broken, neither is the effect, it's a lance with a monster protection. It's alright, not extreamly useable I don't feel, Lance seems better. Now, the whole idea behind the other player's ED seems a bit weird to me. How does this work in Ruling land? Say, if they somehow showed that they had one, or it was Summoend, and later returned, can you use it, or can you use it and say that you send one of theres, and if that isn't possible what happens, does the cost not apply, and therefor no effect, or do you just send one of yours if possible, and if you don't have any, can you activate the card? I would like to know, since I havn't seen something like this before. The text is a bit off, here's my fix: Target 1 face-up monster on the field: Send 1 "Stardust Dragon" from either player's Extra Deck to the Graveyard; until the End Phase of this turn, that monster is unaffected by the effects of other Spell and Trap Cards. During the turn you activate this , if your opponent activates a monster effect that would destroy a card(s) on the field: You can send the targeted monster to the Graveyard; negate the activation and and destroy that card.

Not-so-Radiant Arin Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 It's funny because you can send your opponent's Stardusts for this card so that they don't have the opportunity to Synch into it. I'd much rather use it for that purpose rather than protection. Granted, it's a nice touch, but I'm not going to pass up the chance to remove one of my opponent's boss monsters entirely from existence by just having a monster out on the field.

Therrion Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 The only problem is the fact you can view your opponent's Extra Deck. While that doesn't impact the game much, it is moreso just a "No, no." in Yu-Gi-Oh!, so that takes away from the realism. Otherwise, I love the card. It's a pseudo-Forbidden Lance that makes a pseudo-Starlighted Stardust Dragon (in the fact it doesn't return during the End Phase). The Stardust Dragon effect is a nice touch, but overall, if ran, would be used for the Lance effect. I don't believe people would begin EDing Stardust for a Lance that doesn't impact ATK, aside from maybe in a deck that isn't strict on their 15 choices (perhaps Bujin, since they don't want Yamato to be weak but want to protect it, all the while they don't Xyz so often as to have to have 15 monsters). It'd be funny to use this on a Stardust Dragon that was Summoned via Starlight Road, though. Ya know, just for shitz and giggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrickster Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 The only problem is the fact you can view your opponent's Extra Deck. Didn't really think of this, if there is no target, you should be able to confirm like you can with the Main Deck, something that is kind of a powerful ability when you think about it. Not really a good way to make sure this won't do this I fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therrion Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Remove the fact it can use your opponent's Stardust. Alternatively (it would require a decent amount of additional wording), make it so your opponent must have a Tuner in their Graveyard if you wish to use their Extra Deck's Stardust, but that would, again, add a lot of wording and overall be less pleasing to the eye. Using your own Stardust should be fine, I'd imagine. You could always make it say "Stardust Dragon" card. This would make Radiant be an option also, for those who don't want to risk using too many of their actual Stardust Dragons (like AMA decks).

Sleepy Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Regarding comments that say looking at your opponent's Extra Deck is unrealistic: Though granted, this is not too generic either, and I do think it'd be good enough by using your own Stardust anyways. Now for the card, it's a pretty interesting effect, and on top of what the above comments say, this card would be wonderful in Warrior-heavy decks. it'd mean you can make Dragon Knight Draco Equiste as a casual 1 card beatstick.
