M0B0X Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 You can tribute 1 face-up Beast or Beast-Warrior-type monster you control; Special Summon this card (from your hand), and if you do, this card gains ATK equal to that of the tributed monster. If this card is in your Graveyard: You can return 1 face-up Beast or Beast-Warrior-type monster you control to the hand; Special Summon this card from your Graveyard, and if you do, this card loses ATK equal to that of the returned monster. This effect of "Babi, Lord of the Baboons" can only be activated once per turn.This card is based on the egyptian mythological monkey Babi or Baba, chief of the baboons.Please rate/fix/comment, thank you.EDIT: Updated Image/Discription.

Nightmare Stomper Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 This is good, but it's a little OP seeing as it is a free inherent Special Summon. How about adding "Cannot be Special Summoned. ..... You cannot Summon other monsters, except Beast-Warrior monsters, during the turn you activate this effect." ?

You cannot Summon other monsters, except Beast-Warrior monsters, during the turn you activate this effect." ?I respect your opinion and I am thankful for the feedback. But, I really do not see how it is OP'd. I mean, in general card advantage it is a -1 after all. And, to reach decent stats it needs a strong Beast-type/Beast-Warrior-type monster.

Sunn O))) Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 It's pretty underwhelming. Just turns itself into a big beater, so I don't think it would be used much. Try adding another effect, something useful, but not OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could just make it summon itself from the field or graveyard by tributing a Beast/Beast-Warrior, except another copy. Then make it pierce or something.

magemeek22 Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Hmmm...it shows some potential, but only as a clutch save-yourself-when-you're-about-to-lose card. That said, there's a lot more you can do to, well, fix this up. Okay, well first, I'd say look at the two baboons out in the TCG. You have the Yellow one, which summons itself from the hand when a beast is destroyed by battle; then you have the Green one, which summons itself from the Grave (or hand) when a beast is destroyed by a card effect. Both are defensive. Now, you want to make the trump card, a mythological king as you mention. The part where you tribute a monster to Summon it from your hand makes sense, along with the subsequent ATK gain. When you Summon it from your hand, an inherent -1, you gain a little ATK boost. Personally, I think this card would benefit greatly from being revivable as well. However, when you revive it, it should lose ATK instead of gaining. The king, with this change, would be more versatile and more lethal than his pawns. You can tribute 1 face-up Beast or Beast-Warrior-type monster you control; Special Summon this card (from your hand), and if you do, this card gains ATK equal to that of the tributed monster. If this card is in your Graveyard: You can return 1 face-up Beast or Beast-Warrior-type monster you control to the hand; Special Summon this card from your Graveyard, and if you do, this card loses ATK equal to that of the tributed monster. This effect of "Babi, Lord of the Baboons" can only be activated once per turn. The above change does not make this card OP in any ostensible way. In fact, it's still only kinda viable. Perhaps making it a tuner would make it more useful. Consider doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

宇佐見 蓮子@C94 Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 It's just a big vanilla beater, maybe run in Fire Fists or Bujin if they want to sacrifice consistency that much. At most it's probably going to get 3800 ATK, which while it's more than enough to run over anything, it's still a monumental waste of resources considering it's squishy as anything. It's better if you halve the gain and give it some sort of protection. I can't see the effect you proposed working without the decks I mentioned abusing it.

宇佐見 蓮子@C94 Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 I'm guessing A Little Bit OverPowered. Also tributing a Babi to summon another one is soooo unlikely it's basically impossible. Well, impossible because it's a kinda stupid plan and it's pretty difficult to actually pull off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0B0X Posted June 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Well this is grand, didnt expect to get this much feedback. Thanks to all. I guess from what I have read I should make it so its like Grapha. So, since I agree mostly with what magemeek22 said, I will be going with that. Thanks again everyone. EDIT: I updated the first post, still need CnC on the card with the improvements I made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sander Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 If it's not OP it's ALBOP It's not even "a little bit overpowered". All it is, as said before, is an underwhelming beater if Summoned via the first effect. It's not searchable, and it doesn't give you any advantage outside from being an underwhelming beater that could be ran in Fire Fist but why would you? tl;dr: When you're this bad at this game, stop being stubborn and actually listen to what other people are trying to convey to you.

You're contributing nothing to the discussion, so you're literally spamming. OT: I still think a protection effect would be nice, or maybe something else that actually makes it viable in fire fists.
