Armament of the Lethal Lords

[Philemon]

My first card on this site was a retrain of Victory Dragon. Like most first times at something, it wasn't that good. But that didn't stop me from learning and making more cards, and now I present the 2nd of the Match Winners Remakes, Armament of the Leathal Lords.
 

 
[spoiler="former effect"]Cannot be Special Summoned. You must Tribute 3 Warrior-Type monsters to Tribute Summon this card. Warrior-Type monsters cannot be destroyed by battle. During your Draw Phase, you can add 1 Equip Spell Card from your Graveyard instead of drawing a card. If a card would be destroyed, you can send 1 Equip Spell card from the field or your hand to the Graveyard instead.[/spoiler]
 
[spoiler='Armament of the Lethal Lords']Cannot be Special Summoned. You must Tribute 3 Warrior-Type monsters to Tribute Summon this card. Warrior-Type monsters cannot be destroyed by card effects. All Warrior-Types gain 500 ATK and DEF for each face-up Warrior-type you control. When this card leaves the field, Special Summon 1 Warrior-Type Monster from either players Graveyard: That monster cannot be destroyed by battle.[/spoiler]
 
Thoughts?

Bump, anyone have anything to say?

The card is not good. It requires too many Tributes for an underwhelming starting ATK of 2500, and only works with Equips, which most are regarded as bad cards unless they have an effect that give or return card advantage such as Supervise and most Noble Arms, and this card is not compatible with either. Although you could still play this in Noble Knights to support them, the Tribute cost is still too harsh to be playable.

 

Something that would help with this card's playability is to replace the summoning condition of Tributing 3 Warriors with banishing 3~5 Warriors from the grave. Think of a Chaos Sorcerer or BLS for Warriors. That way, dropping him will be much easier and could even become a boss or miniboss of Warrior Decks that play with Equips. I have not played with nor against Noble Knights so I don't know if they could be broken with a card like this, but if they do, just to be safe I would go for the cost of banishing 5 monsters to discourage the use of multiple copies of this card and make it less abusable.

Alright, looking back through A.L.L made me think "what do Warrior's need/use?" Immunity and power, so I changed his effect to one that boost's warriors and protects them. I'm a bit worried I might have swung it too far in the other direction. I kept the 3 Tribute Summon clause as all the Match Winners had that I feel that they should keep it in exchange for mass power.

Final bump.
