[Leo] Yeah cardmaking seems fun

[.Leo]

Felt the yolo through my body today and felt like taking a stab at card making. Haven't posted here in ages but I feel the need to make a card or two so here is one. I have gotten back into the TCG and have been playing my beloved Agents again, so here is an Xyz monster that gives another Rank 2 option.

 

Effect:

 

2 Level 2 Monsters

This card gains 100 DEF for each Fairy-Type Monster in your Graveyard. You can Detach 1 Xyz Material Monster from this card; Add 1 Banished Level 4 or lower Fairy-Type Monster to your hand or Deck. The effect of "Messenger of the Heavens" can only be activated once per turn.

Essentially the goal of the card is to re-fuel your engine once you make your power play. One problem I have found with Agents is that they can't rebound after their big play if it gets stopped. This card would help remedy that by returning Shine Balls and such to Deck and getting your big combo cards to hand.

Well this card is super powerful as a Rank 2 but far from broken and it's effect have good synergy since this is a pulling it out of my ass stall card.

I do say, this is impractical as s*** because you see... this is the stopped play.

 

Well, not this one specifically. More like you're not getting shine balls out of nowhere and if they let your Venus go off you better be making Herald of Pure Light or Gachi.

I would describe the last effect with the following:

You can detach 1 Xyz Material Monster from this card: Target 1 banished Level 4 or lower Fairy-Type monster, then activate 1 of these effects.

● Add that target to your hand

● Shuffle that target into the Deck.

You can only use the effect of "Messenger of the Heavens" once per turn.

 

The problem is that the YCM won't show bullets so you will have to place them on the card with an image editor, or use another symbol instead.

 

On the card, I think is is good. Mugen made a good point in that you should go for Gachi or Pure Light first, but as the OP explains, this is more of a mid or late game monster useful for recycling your Shine Balls or recovering a Fairy banished by Hyperion. Plus this does something that Pure Light cannot, which is adding a banished monster to the hand, and it is always good to that that option.

But there's always the better, mid-to-late game option of making Pure Light and recycling a Hyperion or an Honest for game.

True. I cannot argue against that. I suppose you could use this card for recycling, let's say, a Honest that was banished by Hyperion as a last resort, but I realize that such move would be awfully situational and is barely a good argument for defending this card.

 

How about improving this card by allowing it to recycle a Fairy of any Level, rather than Level 4s or lower? That way, you would be able to make power plays such as banishing Hyperion #1/Krystia from the grave with Hyperion #2, go for this and return Hyperion #1/Krystia to the hand and instantly drop it if possible. I'm not entirely sure if this would break Agents, though.
