Vision Magician Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Activate by targeting 1 monster you control; this turn, it can attack your opponent directly. Other monsters you control cannot attack. If the target attacks, your opponent cannot activate any Spell/Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step.

spoderman Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 So let me get this straight: This card allows for a free direct attack, and prevents your opponent from stopping it with backrow, for no cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norbi2001 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 bit OP, Add some Restrictions OCG Fix By paying 1000 life points target 1 monster you control; this turn, it can attack your opponent directly. Other monsters you control cannot attack. If the target attacks, your opponent cannot activate any Spell/Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step, at the end of the damage step destroy that target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manpole Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 I also agree with it being a little OP (look at infected mail). Maybe to fix it make it only work with certain monsters, such as a certain archetype, type, or level (5 or lower, etc, etc, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Activate by targeting 1 monster you control: This turn, it can attack your opponent directly. Other monsters you control cannot attack. When the target attacks: Your opponent cannot activate any Spell/Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step. (underline is correction; since the effect activates when something happens; you use "when" instead of "if") In terms of usage, I agree with Manpole and Someone about it being OPed. Given this card allows ANY monster to direct attack, you could just use a high Level monster (or one with enough ATK) to take out a sizable amount of your opponent's Life Points (if not ending the game right then/there) Putting a restriction (if we use the character in this card's pic as an example; which is Koko from RosaVam), let's say, 2000 or less ATK or a Level 6 or lower monster, should make it more balanced; especially considering the Ancient Gear clause on it.

Trebuchet MS Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 ... When the target attacks: Your opponent cannot activate any Spell/Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step. (underline is correction; since the effect activates when something happens; you use "when" instead of "if") Actually, the Ancient Gears' S/T protection effect is Continuous and doesn't start a Chain. If this card's S/T protection during that monster's attack would conform to that, the original statement which used a comma would be more accurate rather than a colon.

razzy Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Given it is a Trap I don't think it is OP. As others have said it is slow, and things like Limiter Removal, Magic Cylinder exists. Not saying they effect this this card in anyway, just that there are other cards that allow 1 monster to deal "huge" Life Point damage. As for the wording you could just avoid confusion by using something like Target 1 monster you control; this turn it can attack your opponent directly, when it attacks your opponent cannot active card effects until the end of the Damage Step. Other monster you control cannot attack the turn you activate this card. of course you could change the bold part to Spell/Traps if you'd like.

As others have said it is slow, and things like Limiter Removal, Magic Cylinder exists. Not saying they effect this this card in anyway, just that there are other cards that allow 1 monster to deal "huge" Life Point damage. Actually it is pretty overpowered even as a Trap Card. Cards like "Limiter Removal" have restrictions like "Can only be used on Machine-Type" and "During the End Phase, the card is destroyed." And your opponent cannot use Spells/Traps to counter the attack of the monster. (This takes "Magic Cylinder" out of the question and the monster's attack after being targeted by "Limiter Removal" can be negated unlike this card.)

(This takes "Magic Cylinder" out of the question and the monster's attack after being targeted by "Limiter Removal" can be negated unlike this card.) I do agree. But how many times can you honestly say you've seen someone use Removal and the game making it to the point of the monster getting destroyed? The way this card works is you would have to activate (target the monster) before it attacks another monster. Also if you target a monster before the attack (like you have to) and your opponent chains something (book of moon/compulsory/etc..) to that same monster, you'd loose your whole battle phase because the card states other monsters cannot attack that turn. Also it has to be Set for a turn giving the opponent a chance to deal with it before any of that can happen. The only thing questionable is with Removal when you see someone running machines you know they have 1, where this is splash-able, but I still don't think it too overpowered. But if it were a real card I could see it being limited/semi-limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goddamnit names are a pain Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Shooting Star Bow Ceal at least lowers the ATK, this should do something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it were a real card I could see it being limited/semi-limited. I agree with the first clause, but when some people use a Machine Deck they don't always run a "Limiter Removal" as its too risky to let your monsters die and there is a chance for the opponent to use a card like "Threatening Roar" and stop the attack in the first place. (My friend uses a "Cyber Dragon" deck and he doesn't run a "Limiter Removal.") And let's say that I summon a card like "Chimeratech Overdragon" and use this card on it: That's going to be some major damage inflicted on your opponent.

razzy Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Threatening Roar must be used before the monster declares an attack though. This card cannot even be activated to the damage step *cough**cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzNPaladin Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Threatening Roar must be used before the monster declares an attack though. This card cannot even be activated to the damage step *cough**cough* Exactly, the player can chain "Threatening Roar" to "Limiter Removal" right after its activation.

razzy Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 They can chain Roar to Removal (as long as not during damage calc) but the attack of the attacking monster still goes through as it was already declared. I'm done. This is getting too off topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Noel- Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 If u was chained by roar to your removal, then u did sth wrong, normally I activate removal when it's dmg step which roar can't interrupt, so if my opponent try to roar me, he can do that after taking 2 hit of 4000 or more which as good as roar to nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
