Are you frightened?

[krakonfour]

In YuGiOh, fear can take over monsters. In the night, even the mighty wonder what lies in the shadows.

When fear consumes you, when Fear Itself takes over, you'll wish it was only a bump in the dark.

But is such a thing even possible?

Rituals that tutor each other on Summon? Sounds fascinating, being able to smooth out the consistency problems most Rituals tend to face. Would be nice if the phobia monsters had some slight variation between them to give them some distinguishable functionality.

 

Is Fear Itself a Continuous Spell? The wording seems to imply it is. Nevertheless, eating your opponent's things for your Summons is an incredible shift in card advantage, especially if the monster ends up under your control, in comparison to Lava Golem and Santa Claws. The little balancing factor is that the effect can be Chained to, but the monster is already lost by the time a Chain Link can be built.

 

Pity that Going for the Kill essentially results in a 0 ATK phobia monster. Was that intended?

Thanks for passing by.

 

The Fear rituals are basically Ritual Gadgets. They maintain themselves through consistently searching for one another, but unlike ritual Gadgets, you're only going to Ritual Summoning one of them per turn. It eats into slow decks but loses to swarmers. 

 

The monster used for the Ritual summon is Tributed, so it is sent to the opponent's grave. What you get out of it a +2 on the field, plus a search.  

 

Fear Itself is continuous... somehow the little icon didn't appear when I generated it for imgur-capture. 

 

Going for the kill is intentionally hampered by giving you a 0 ATK monster. Think of it however. It disrupts you opponent's plays, removes a monster from their field by Tributing (dodging destruction-negations and effects chained to being sent to the Grave) AND gives you a level 4 body on the field. Like the rest of the Fear monsters, unless you tributed a very high ATK monster, you're going to be XYZ summoning. GoftK is an XYZ-enabler.

 

Thanks for passing by.

I like the concept and everything, but I don't really see the point in the second effect on the monsters adding another to your hand when "Fear Itself" can Ritual Summon from your Deck anyway. Maybe make another search card and have "Fear Itself" only Summon from your hand or something? I don't know. Just my opinion.

I'll think about balancing this, or simply create another spell/trap to do the searching-from-deck function.
