Toffee. Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Obscure idea time! =D2 Level 6 Machine-Type monstersThis card's effect(s) are only applied if this card has Xyz Materials. During each of your End Phases, Detach 1 Xyz Material from this card. During your Main Phase, you can activate this effect: Inflict 500 damage to your Opponent. This effect of "Heavy-Claw Robo-Combat" can only be activated up to 4 times per turn. Apply the appropriate effect(s), based on the number of times you activated this effect:●2 or more: This card's ATK and DEF are halved until your Opponent's End Phase.●3 or more: You cannot conduct your Battle Phase this turn.●4: Send all other cards on your side of the field to the Graveyard during your End Phase, and you cannot Special Summon until the End Phase of your next turn.

Kyng's Old Account Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Flavour: There's a certain niche that cards like this can make brilliant use of: the way you have named it allows this card to be exactly what is says on the tin, and in doing so is very flavourful. There's not much else needed to draw from it's name. The picture used could definitely be better. It is quite poor quality, which is somewhat upsetting, but that does not make it less flavourful. Again benefiting from the tin can system, it does indeed have heavy claws, and it is indeed a robot built for combat. We thus then consider the card's effect, which I can't say I'm feeling that much. 2000 damage with the restriction clauses...well, I'm just not feeling it there, but overall it has flavour. It could be bettered, though.Balance: This card is balanced, to a degree. 4000 damage is very hefty, but the cost of inflicting it leads to a board wipe on your side (of course, which is insignificant if you have a small board to start with) as well as stops any further aggro by halving its own stats. The mandatory Xyz Detach is a nice touch. It also balances itself through the fairly limited set of monsters it can rely upon as materials. Still, ya have to always consider how this can inflict a whopping 4000.Use: This would require a very dedicated build to run it, but could benefit from said build. Maybe Chronomalies also using Rank Up Magic might be best to work with this: of course then to use the 4000 burns effectively, you'd want protection that exists outside of the field for this. However it does it's job fairly well. Just very difficult to pull off, unless with dedication.Fixes: The image is pretty poor. Altering that may be better. Otherwise, I think this does it's job if this is how it was meant to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted October 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Fixed the image up a bit in the OP.Also, part of the concept to this card is that's it's a burn card, while also NOT being a burn card.What I mean by that, is the more effect damage it does, the more it's going to cost you.500 is casual chip damage.1000 is a decent hit, but also cuts the monster's ATK/DEF in half.1500 forfeits any chance you have to deal additional damage(You would inflict 2300 if Claw also got a direct attack in).2000 is a lot of effect damage from a single effect, but it has such a massive drawback and prevents you from supporting your monster.So more or less it's a double edged sword.
