The artwork is very amazing.

 

 

I'll do a semi-detailed review, as opposed to just "10/10" "omg amazing" and other things of that nature. This card looks like it has a lot of potential, but I think it's somewhat underpowered.

 

 

 

 

This card may be Summoned without a Tribute. When this card is Summoned this way' date=' halve the ATK of this card.[/quote']

 

Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast

This card can be Normal Summoned or Set without Tribute. In that case, the original ATK/DEF of this card become halved.

 

No difference in effect, but difference in wording?

 

 

When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle' date=' double the damage.[/quote']

 

Stone Statue of the Aztecs

Double any Battle Damage your opponent takes when they attack this monster.

 

Double any Battle Damage your opponent takes from a battle between this card and an opponent's monster?

 

If you summon it with its first effect, it will only have 1000 ATK. I don't see many monsters with less than 1000 ATK being played in attack position, so this effect seems insignificant for its first effect. When summoned otherwise, this effect is decent. Monarchs and Jinzo will run over it in no time, but 2000 ATK is nothing to be laughed at. Beefing it up with Equipments and effects that give it piercing would make this card devastating.

 

When this card inflicts 2000 damage or more to your opponent's Life Points' date=' it is destroyed.[/quote']

 

An attempt at balancing this card's double-the-damage effect. Assuming this means 2000 or more damage from a single attack, and not total, I'd say this effect is relatively balanced. I don't think that it will ever be needed if it was summoned with 1000 ATK, since it will have a hard enough time surviving on the field to deal 2000 damage. Summoning it any other way, though, this seems like a heavy stipulation to want to keep using it.

 

If this card is destroyed by battle' date=' increase your Life Points by half the total damage this card inflicted to your opponent's Life Points.[/quote']

 

You won't get much out of this, but it is a nice fallback to the inevitable destruction by battle that summoning this card with 1000 ATK will have.

 

 

 

Overall, I think that it's a good attempt at balance, but falls further towards the weak side. If it had higher base ATK, it would be a better force to be reckoned with, so to speak.

 

A level 7 with 2600 would be respctable. 1300 ATK actually gets somewhere, and 2600 ATK can actually stand up to most of the threats in YGO. These are all just my opinions, but I don't think the card is strong enough to hold the balance its effects set with only 2000 ATK. :/

 

 

Overall, I give it an 8/10, and hopefully what I said justifies my opinion. I've got nothing against you, but I don't think it's strong enough to need so many restrictions on its power.

Thanks alot, i'm very happy sombody gave me a real in depth review.

It means alot more than a normal rate to me (no offence people). Yeah, I tried to balance it out, but I actually made the card, then could not think of what it's ATK should be =/

So I just played it safe.

Thank you very much ^_^

Thanks alot instinctmeister ^_^

Yeah, that was the intention, when I make a card, I not only try to make it good by itself, but I also try to balance it when a person tries to make it stronger, it's a cool way to think XD

Anyway, thanks ^_^

Ummm, good question, I think, i'm not shure anymore, but I think my intention was for it to be from the initial attack, not counting other effects that may happen as a result of the attack, so, i'm gonna go with just the attack, but I need to find a way to word it so it's not so confusing, lol
