Hey Poison, 

first I'd like to state that I like the idea of this card a lot, but I have to know if you intended Normal Monsters which require 1 Tribute to be Tribute(Normal)-Summoned to be able to be Normal Summoned without any cost at all. This would be a quite powerful card in that case  :rolleyes:

The last effect is too powerful, and is begging to be abused by Monarchs and Soul Exchange/Storm Forth. Because of the first effect involving Normal Monsters, I suspect this effect was meant to affect Normal monsters as well. If I am wrong, then that would be a good way for balancing the effect.

 

By the way, the effect looks weird because both "destruction by battle" and "tribute" mechanics are not effects, so I believe this would be a better OCG (assuming you want this card to protect against effects):

Yeah, you don't need to exclude them because they are not actually effects.

 

 

Now that I think about it, what if you attempt to remove a monster from the field by Synchro/Fusion summoning (not counting Xyz Summons since Xyz Materials are not treated as being removed from the field)? Is this card intended to allow it?
