[Fetus Single] Mechanical Knight

[Dark Fetus]

My first single card, the Mechanical Knight. Constructive criticism appreciated :)

[Pepperyena]

So... Basically, this card's effect can never happen?

 

A "Flip Summon" is the manual summoning of a monster from face-down defense position to face-up attack position, almost always during your Main Phase. This card's effect needs to be worded something like this:

 

When this face-down Defense Position card is attacked by an opponent's monster, and flipped face-up as a result of battle; send the attacking monster to the Graveyard.

 

(Not sure if this OCG is perfect, but it gets the job done)

 

With that said, this effect is like a cross between Snowman Eater, Man-Eater Bug, Exploder Dragon, and Karakuri Ninja mdl 339 "Sazank". It's a very basic effect, but it is unique in a sense - I don't recall any other card "Sending to the Graveyard" because it was flipped by battle. As a result, this card can even get past monsters that "Can't be destroyed by card effects", which actually makes it decent.

 

For your first card, it's definitely not bad. Hopefully you'll be able to create some really neat effects in the future.

Terribly outclassed by Snowman and Pachy. Snowman has 1900 DEF which is guaranteed to stop Rai-Oh attacks, and even takes them down as a means for 1-4-1. Pachy wipes your opponents push for game, or at least any significant push your opponent makes, which makes it a nice tech for anti-meta. This......does nothing, in essence. It doesn't stop your opponent's attack with a measly 1100 DEF, and doesn't block your opponent's Special Summon and wipe them out. It also doesn't stop other attacks your opponent can make that turn, which is really limiting in terms of how useful it can be.

 

Not to be rude, but.....it's trash. There's nothing that can really be done to fix this card, sadly, since it would just be an attempt to either carbon-copy Snowman, or one-up it, which I highly look down on.

As Arin already mentioned, this card is outclassed by Snowman Eater who can destroy a monster simply by being Flip Summoned (or using stuff like Book of Taiyou or something to change its mode). In this card's case, needs to be flipped up in battle (in which case your opponent can simply destroy it by an effect during battle while face-down instead of actually attacking it in face-down position).

 

For its stats, 1200/1100 is low nowadays and won't be doing it much favors aside from just blocking your LP for a while; and hopefully triggering its effect. Unlike Snow though, it "sends" rather than destroys, so gets around things like Stardust and the like; but overall there are a myriad of cards that do this card's job better (and with much more to offer). For a first card, it's not too bad but like I mentioned in last sentence; there are several existing cards that fill this card's role in much better ways (either with additional effects or better stats to boot)

 

@Pepperyena: OCG should be something like this: "When this face-down Defense Position card is attacked by an opponent's monster and flipped face-up as a result of battle: Send that monster to the Graveyard." (but you got close to that)

 

In relation to Pepper's comment, FLIP effects activate when they are flipped face-up (regardless of how it happened). Effect would be useless if flipped up by cards such as Swords of Revealing Light, Book of Taiyou (which I don't see many people use), etc.
