[spoiler='Diamond Thunderbolt, Vajra']Cannot be destroyed by battle or by card effects (even if face-down or while equipped). If this card battles a "Vajra" monster, negate this monster's effects that prevent it from being destroyed for that battle only. You can target 1 Fairy-type monster you control; equip this card from your hand or your side of the field to that target: It cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects, also destroy any monster that battles with it after the damage calculations. . [/spoiler]

 

My first mythology inspired card in a while. A Vajra is the weapon of Indra, King of the Deva, and God of Heaven. It is said to be as hard as Diamond and striking as a Thunderbolt, hence the name. I figured it should be a Union card as it itself cannot be destroyed by anything except itself (hence the only destroyed by a Vajra monster part) and that would be best reflected as a monster card rather then an equip spell.

 

Thoughts?

Cannot be destroyed (anywhere) except by battle with a "Vajra" monster. Once per turn, you can target 1 monster on your side of the field: Equip it with this card (from your Hand); that monster cannot be destroyed, and destroy any monster that battles with it at the beginning of damage calculation.

 

Some OCG fixes, but overall, good card. This is massively powerful, perhaps give it a balancing factor for its total immortality? Remove the comma in the name, btw. The first sentence is awkward though, so try another maybe? It's effect is too powerful to go without restriction.

If this card battles a "Vajra" monster, Negate that monster's effects that prevent it from being destroyed. You can target 1 Fairy-type you control; equip this card from your hand or your side of the field to that target. It cannot be destroyed by battle, also destroy any monster that battles with it after the damage calculations. (A monster can only be equipped with 1 Union monster at a time. If the equipped monster would leave the field, send this card to the Graveyard instead.)

The concept is good and it's cool you were inspired by mythology and incorporated it this much into the card, but to me, it looks really unbalanced and overpowered as it is. If you're aiming to equip anything with this divine weapon and make a powerhouse of destruction, there really should be a lot more risk and chance involved before it can qualify as a plausable realistic card.

I incorporated some of your ideas into the card, but left out the parenthesis because that's already the rule with Union monsters and the card text would become near unreadable if left in.

I changed it so only Fairy-type monster (ie heavenly creatures and such) can use it. While neither this nor the equipped monster can be destroyed, they are still weak to being bounced. Sent to the grave, returned to the hand, shuffled into the Deck, that kind of thing.
