Mighty Shogun Of The Six Samurai-Shien

[thomasjcs]

I used this drawing for a Synchro Monster called Legendary Six Samurai-Shien. But then thought maybe it should be a fusion monster. Which do you think is better?

Lore correction:

 

This monster can only Must be Special Summon by Fusion Summoned and cannot be Summoned by other ways. (from the Extra Deck.) When this card is Fusion Summoned: It is unaffected by Spell/Trap effects until the End Phase. This card Cannot be targeted by Spell/Trap effects. If this face-up card would be destroyed, you can destroy another face-up "Six Samurai" monster you control instead. If you do: Target and destroy 1 card your opponent controls; destroy it.

Slightly less frustrating than Shi En, because its innate S/T protection is less disruptive than getting to negate any S/T (including the ones that set up combos and don't directly affect it). Its S/T "shroud" effect also means you can't buff or protect it with your own S/Ts for whatever reason.

 

Its anti-destruction effect, on the other hand, is pretty much a buffed Zenmaines effect without the delay...

Alright, lore has already been corrected, so I won't go into that.

As someone who has loved Six Samurais since the beginning (I won't dispute how badly designed Shi En and Gateway are), I would say this is just too slow and outclassed by the very thing it would probably be used to make it a good bit of the time, Shi En. I'd almost rather play Shogun Shien just because I wouldn't want to waste time putting in Poly or something else when there are a lot of better cards to put in a deck.

So really, the biggest play problem is that it is a Fusion monster in a deck where the Extra Deck has too many viable options ahead of this that take less resources. Plus, the stats really don't help. It would help it if it were a bit more of a heavy hitter.

 

The effect itself is alright. You wouldn't need to worry about those pesky D Prisons and CEDs as much.

 

As for the destruction effect, that part where you destroy an opponent's card should probably be once per turn, and maybe during the End Phase.

It's works with Miracle Synchro Fusion and could easily be side-decked into a Junk Synchro Deck considering it's generic materials. I'd recommend changing it to DARK, Level 7, and 3000/1900, to make it a little more viable and to go along with the Synchro Fusion theme (+2 Levels and +500 ATK/DEF).

I tweaked it to a little of every one suggestion. Any other needs for it.
