Lunar Origins

2 Level 4 non-Light monsters
You can only control 1 "Taijin Experiment".  When this card is Xyz Summoned:  Detach 2 Xyz Materials from this card;  Both players reveal their hands and each player chooses 1 card from their opponent's hand.  Banish all copies of the target card from both player's hands and Graveyards face-down.  During the 4th End Phase of the turn this effect was activated:  Add those banished cards to their respective owner's hand.
 
FLAVOUR TEXT:
The citadel tried to recreate the armour of a hero popular in folktale; they got more than they bargained for.

I don't get why it is Beast-warrior. Is it a reference to something?

 

I believe "selects" is from the old OCG; "chooses" should be a more proper word.

 

On the effect, I find it good. A great way for temporarily disabling boss monsters or key cards, but if you have not won after the 4th turn, your opponent might get the upper hand. And while the opponent can disrupt your plays in the same way, you can manipulate your hand before summoning this and force your opponent into choosing the least useful of your cards.

It's a fake Bujin, created by the disciples of Endymion.  It's basically a nega-bujin, hence why its effect counters them while retaining the "you can only control 1" thing.

 

Overall I like the effect. Just to note, limitations (like "You can control only 1...") are put at the end of the effect. Overall I like it especially since it also does mean I can recycle cards that my Opponent has (perhaps a Dark Hole?) but yea, not very broken except mostly in mirror matches.

 

Thanks for the OCG fix, and you wouldn't be recycling DH, just disabling it for 4 turns.

If it's a fake Bujin, then I think you should give it a name that further hints the monster's nature. Plus, "experiment" doesn't fit the card's flavor as he was most likely brought back to "life" through sorcery rather than science.

 

Maybe change the name to "False Bujintei Taijin", or something among those lines? And with "Bujintei" in the name he would gain "Bujin" support.

 

Also, may I ask why you named it "Taijin"? Since Bujin/Bujintei are named after deities, I looked for one named "Taijin" or with a similar name but I couldn't find anything, so I wonder from where the name comes from.

The point is that it's not a real Bujin, it's a false recreation of Yamato.  Since it's unpure, and not a real Bujin, it cannot function with the holy Bujin relics - in fact, the relics seem to edge away from it.  Experiment seems fitting as they were experimenting with some long lost Bujin relics and created this, an unnatural abomination.  I could rename it Taijin Abomination, but eh.

 

I did not want this having Bujin support, which was against this card's flavor, hence its effect actually hindering Bujins while giving a buff to most other decks.  Also, Bujins can't make this, so joy!

It is too overpowered, I think it would get banned and/or limited within months. Heres why: First off you can summon this guy as much as you want and use his effect as much as you want, were talking at least 3 cards removed face-down from the opponent's hand 1st turn, and yes thats the second thing, he's obviously going to remove just the opponent's card since he is the one controlling when to summon he will just summon this when his hand is dead or when he doesn't have a hand, making him full advantage for hand destruction. I could be wrong about this but I just feel a possible remove 3 cards from your opponent's hand in 1st turn is seriously way too powerfull, did we forget what happened to Trishula?

Maybe I'll make it a once per turn thing, but really.

Ah... I didn't even see that hahaha. You're right that makes it a bit less op but it's still a really powerfull card with a devastating effect and he is so very easy to summon.. deny hand is just too powerfull in yugioh and most cards that tried that ended up getting banned.. I could be wrong obviously.
