Philemon Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 [attachment=40361:Virochana (tinier).jpg] 1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner Spirit monsters Cannot be Special Summoned except by Synchro Summon. During your Battle Phase: Your opponent cannot active card effects. Return this card to your Extra Deck during the End Phase and return the Monsters used to Summon this card to the field (the Spirit Monsters used to Summon Virochana do not return to your hand). Spirit Monster don't get a lot of love. Annoying to bring out and keep out, a tiny userpool, and generally too slow. And they have no real "boss" card. Yamata Dragon and Hino-Kagu-Tsuchi are powerful, but lack reliability. Virochana isn't a cure-all for that, but I thought he could be something interesting to add to them. I made it so he "returns" monsters from the Graveyard (similar to how Future Visions does it from the Banished Zone) rather than Special Summon (because they can't be Special Summoned) to maintain field control, and locked down the opponents field due to his effect. I don't think that he's too powerful considering his (relative) low Attack and hard Summoning restrictions. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Strawberry Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 To be honest I don't think this card is much better than Yamata or Hino. That said, I'm not sure how you could fix it, it just seems kinda lacklustre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(In Hindu mythology Virochana was an Asura so it would fit thematically speaking.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philemon Posted January 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Anyone one else have anything to say? Any ideas to improve this card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmaster1991 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Perhaps it should negate card effects by banishing Spirit Monsters from your graveyard as a cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
