TFMegamanlan Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 [spoiler=Effect] When this Card is Normal Summoned: You can add a "Crystal" Spell Card from your Deck to your hand; and if you do: you cannot activate Spell Cards for the rest of this turn. If this card Special Summoned from your Spell/Trap Zone: target 1 Monster on the Field: That target loses 700 ATK & DEF. When this Monster is destroyed: you can target 1 "Crystal Beast" Monster in your Graveyard: Place that target face-up in your Spell/Trap Zone as a Continuous Spell Card.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Hidden Crystal Beasts] Hidden Crystal Beasts are made to be mostly Crystal Beast support (like Legendary Six Samuari's). They will be setup to make either effective Crystal Beasts that don't actually drop to the backrow themselves. Each Hidden Crystal Beast will have this effect: - A Support effect that will help Crystal Beasts or go into Extra Deck Monsters faster. - When they go to the graveyard, you can place a Crystal in the Backrow from the Grave. They will be involved in the Crystal Beast Evolution into the Refined Crystal Beasts[/spoiler] The main idea of this card: 1. To make a Crystal Beast that is effective to draw 1st turn. 2. To give Crystal Beasts better access to their Spells. 3. The ability to weaken strong monsters so a Crystal can take it out which is a general problem with the Crystals, as they can't deal with big bosses beyond 2800 very well without going at least a -1 to deal with it. So any thoughts? Like? Dislike? Think its OP? Let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebuchet MS Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Colon Cancer And Excessive Capitalization: The Lore. When this card is Normal Summoned: You can Search Deck for add 1 "Crystal" Spell Card from your Deck and add it to your hand, and if you do, you cannot activate Spell Cards for the rest of this turn. If you this card is Special Summoned this card from your Spell & Trap Card Zone: Target 1 card on the field; in play destroy that target. When this card in your Monster Zone is destroyed: You can target 1 "Crystal Beast" Monster in your Graveyard; place that target face-up in your Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Continuous Spell Card. Still, it's a solid card regardless of when it's played and its 1900 ATK offers a very nice offensive presence that the Crystal Beasts need so dearly. Destruction effect doesn't activate very often due to the mild difficulty in crystallizing it, but it helps break even with Promise and mops up a few things alongside a Carbuncle swarm.

TFMegamanlan Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Thanks! Most of those were actually the main goals of this card! Do you think the Search restriction works good enough to not be just dumb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet MS Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Thanks! Most of those were actually the main goals of this card! Do you think the Search restriction works good enough to not be just dumb? Seeing that most of the "Crystal" Spells are Normal Spells, the inability to immediately use what you tutored is sufficient. In cases of Abundance being tutored, the opponent can prepare for it and ready a counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krisanderson Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Amazing, i was trying a different route with Crystal Beasts, doing a dark thing without relying on Advanced Dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMegamanlan Posted May 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I'll have a few Dark ones, but my focus is actyally based on helping the current theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therrion Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 The card does what Konami seems to do lately for old archetypes, and that is throw a bunch of good things onto a single card. It'd be good as just a search upon NS and backrow something upon destruction, but you threw in great beater stats and another effect, a pop of all things, as well. The stats could be changed, since it's kind of lame to make a +1 effect, great by all means, even greater when you put your monster in a favorable position. (Think the Constellar search monster, 1900 DEF but likes being NSed). The pop is a good effect, but could probably be replaced on this card and placed onto a future Hidden CB. For this card, if you feel the need to have an effect upon backrow SS, would be something that doesn't affect advantage since this guy already provides it.

TFMegamanlan Posted May 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 My main idea with Leo is to have a monster that CB's can drop 1st turn besides Pegasus (since every other CB isn't that good for a 1st turn pull.) I could drop the SS destroy, just to put in another card too. But I may have another SS effect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therrion Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 A 1900 beater that searches is good enough to drop at any turn of the game, especially first, without extra effects. I'd run it if it was just "When NSed; add CB Spell to hand." That's more so what I was getting at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMegamanlan Posted May 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 I guess it would, still want to have another reason why you'd want it in the Backrow though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMegamanlan Posted May 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Another thing I think you missed,Therion, is that you can't use the Spell or any Spells this turn. Also updated with a new effect! And a bit of wording changes. I don't like the "While in Monster Card Zone" thing as it's not a Monster in the Spell/Trap Zone, It's a Spell. So I see it as fine if they just put it as "If this face-up Monster is destroyed..." As it won't trigger if destroyed as a Spell anyway, and as such shouldn't be a problem. But that's mostly my qwams with Konami's occasional weird wordings.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
