I feel like the effect could be a little bit better don't you guys agree? :o

Fake Types aren't allowed in Realistic, just so you know (only the 21 established Types in the TCG are allowed; not counting Divine Beast).

Changing it to Warrior-Type would be the most reasonable option, if you want this to stay here (otherwise Zextra or one of the mods will move this to AoC if it's not fixed). [Fixed it]

 

Anyway, OCG/CnC

 

When this card is Normal Summoned: Discard 1 card, then destroy 1 card on the field OR discard 1 card from your opponent's hand; they take 600 damage.

 

Based on the effect, either you discard and destroy something on the field or make your opponent discard/take damage. The first option requires you to discard in order to get rid of something, whereas the second option essentially is one-sided towards your opponent.

 

I would change the second option to redirect the damage at you. Either way, you still have to pay some form of cost to get rid of something; whether you discard a card or take damage.

Since this card has 2 effects with the same timing, I believe the effect should be something like this:

When this card is Normal Summoned: Activate 1 of these effects.

● Discard 1 card; destroy 1 card on the field.

● Discard 1 card from your opponent's hand, and if you do, inflict 600 damage to your opponent.

 

As for the effect, I think is it fine. The first effect is not really impressive as a 1-for-1, but the second effect is really good as it is one of the few cards that hits the hand. And it's great to be able to pick from either damaging the opponent's hand + burn, or removing a problem card at the cost of a discard.

 

However, her ATK/DEF stats don't look good. After using her effect you are left with a weak, 400-ATK monster. Also, I don't see players running this when they could be using other monsters with removal effects that don't cost a discard nor leave them vulnerable to battle damage (Fencing Fire Ferret, Snowman Eater, Ryko, etc.).
