Letter F: Ares, the God of War

[AzNPaladin]

[spoiler='Letter F: Ares, the God of War']

Lore:
 

2 Rank 4 "Number" monsters

Once per turn, you can detach one Xyz Material target one face-up Attack Position monster your opponent controls; Destroy it. This card cannot be destroyed by battle. Once per turn, you can detach one Xyz Material to target one monster, except "Letter F: Ares, the God of War": It gains 1000 ATK. During your opponent's Battle Phase, your opponent must attack this monster with any Attack Position monsters they control.[/spoiler]

 

The first Letter monster. All Letter monsters require Number monsters as its Xyz Material (All other Xyz Material attached to the Number monsters become the Letter monster's Xyz Material.) Might be a bit OP, but it does require two Xyz Monsters on the field for it to work.

Huh, I was expecting Ares have a forced battle effect (as he's the God of War) Anyway, it's interesting.

[outlaw1994]

That might make it a bit weaker, as it requires a lot of monsters to Xyz Summon,. Though I might make your opponent's monsters to attack it instead. Thanks for your contribution.

OK thank you.

I can see this having an effect like Evil HERO Malicious Fiend + gaining something during the Battle phase. (As Ares' power comes from war so that could be something to play around with.)

The OCG is good.

Thanks, for the pic. Looks really nice. How'd you put the "F" on Ares shoulder like that? It makes mines look retarded. Thanks again.

Umm no offense, but that card is ridiculously OP. First off, its really not that hard to pop out two Number monsters, let alone 2 Rank 4, I mean some decks are built around it (not summoning Numbers, but XYZ summoning). 

 

What you get from your little effort, is something that can run over practically anything, and then destroy 1 of your monsters per turn, with no cost or draw back what so ever, and then if you try to use your backrow to get rid of it, lol nope because you just detach 1 of the myriad of materials your probably have on this thing to negate it, and by the time I've exhausted your materials, you've gotten rid of a good number of monster destroying effect cards, if not already run me over for game.

That's what Mirror Force is for.

Yes one card in a deck of 40, or maybe 2 if decide to do that, but what if you don't run Mirror Force mmm?

Who doesn't run a Mirror Force or two. I changed Ares by the way.

Check the TCG section, there are people who don't

 

Anyway, its still meh. Even with the lowered attack it can still run over a lot of stuff, and the ridiculous amount of materials you get when you make this thing makes the destruction effect still broken. At least you can destroy it with card effects.

 

Anyway I think I'll let the more profession card makers take over now

[Not-so-Radiant Arin]

Mirror Force isn't that good of a card this format.

 

It's not too terribly difficult to get out. It requires some dedication, but not a whole lot. You can drop this via Utopia/Giant Hand or anything else, really. The only thing wrong with it is it's Xyz Detach effect is pretty miniscule, since Xyz Monsters attached to previous Xyz Monsters become Materials on this card as well. I'd make it a Detach 2 effect to quickly burn through it, because you could possibly get up to 6 guys (realistically) under this card to destroy 6 cards. It being a 2 for 1 trade-off seems much more balanced and cleaner in my opinion. The last effect isn't that great either since I can just ram my Crimson Blader/Scrap Dragon into it and possibly get it back later, while all the effort you've made into putting and getting this card out sinks down like weights were attached to it. You COULD (though it might be bordering broken status) add an effect saying "When this card leaves the field: You can return 1 of the Xyz Material Xyz Monsters used to Xyz Summon this card (that's a fuckton of Xyz :\ ) to your Extra Deck." to fill in that void of it being completely dead afterwards.

 

Not really bad, but not really good. I guess.

[TFMegamanlan]

Perhaps put it that all Monsters must switch to ATK Mode and attack it? Then have the Destroy effect for if it Destroys a Monster in battle. Also I'd put something like:
"While this card has Xyz Materials: Monsters cannot be flipped, set or switched into DEF Mode."

That would make it pretty good (especially since Ares' presence invokes fighting in the mythos. [I'm really into the mythologies in case you didn't notice])

Overall now it's okay... But not really great. I don't see how the Destroy effect is so OP as everyone's saying as most other top Destroyers (ex. Scrap Dragon, etc) were set up to give advantage to you for little negative cost. In fact if you see where Scrap Dragon comes from, you'll find that it was made to make bonuses not be harmful.
Overall, I still like it and I like the new pic a bit better.

little bit of photoshop knowledge my friend and honestly i didn't do a very good job on it only took me a couple mins and another ocg fix for the new effect

I'm not too happy with this. What it does, essentially, is turn 2 Numbers into a 6-mat(?!) 2800 beatstick with a little destruction effect as the icing cherry on top. It doesn't seem worth the task of getting 4 monsters out and sacrificing the variety of effects you get from having 2 Numbers on the field. I would take Scrappy Dragon over this any day tbh. A lot less dedication and a more rewarding payoff. Out of the 6 mats, probably only 1-2 will get used. Might as well as give it another effect to put those materials to use. Maybe something to manipulate ATK, DEF or Battle Pos? Destruction negate is a no no as it can essentially do it forever. Not even Shi En is that mad.
