Striker, Destroyer of Justice

[RoaringSilence0]

Hey it's been quite a while since I've been on here and I've decided to start dabbling again with more knowledge than last time. So feedback would be greatly appreciated.

When this card is Summoned: Speicla Summon one Fiend-type monster from your Graveyard, except "Striker, Destroyer of Justice"; It's effects are negated and it cannot declare an attack this turn. Your opponent cannot Summon LIGHT monsters, and you take no damage from battles involving LIGHT monsters.

When this card is Summoned: Special Summon one Target 1 Fiend-Type monster from in your Graveyard, except "Striker, Destroyer of Justice"; Special Summon that target. Its effects are negated and it cannot declare an attack this turn. Your opponent cannot Summon LIGHT monsters, and you take no damage from battles involving LIGHT monsters.

So, effectively, this is secretly an Ally of Justice monster.

 

Ignoring any LIGHT matchups, people would be playing this solely for its easily-triggered revival effect, then spamming Rank 7s like how E-Drags were doing in their heyday. As Striker has no form of self-protection, any significantly stronger LIGHT monster already on the field can just smack him in the face and be done with it.

I feel like this thing's name should be : Congratulations! you just summoned a free dracossack!

 

 

because, like, that's totally what i'd do with it.

 

 

anyway, uh, gadjiltron beat me to it. this guy works really well for summoning r7's (although the only other 7's i can think of that you'd actually use besides another one of striker would be gorz or illusory snatcher maybe). he can also give you that other half of whatever rank your looking for at the moment, if need be. But, as gadjiltron said already, something stronger than him can just punch him in the face and move on.

 

still, card's not bad, and i'd give it a run in a fiend deck for funzies, at any rate.

Ok point taken, I see what you're saying. I felt some self-protection might be a bit too overpowered, though.

I like how this feels like it belongs to an Archetype, but it doesn't. No, not AOJs.
That aside, it's rather interesting given the potential a card like this has, with regards to the fact it gives you a lot of freedom as far as trying to set it's effect off; Call of the Haunted, for example, would be outright hilarious.
