.XE ~ Kaslay

[Kaslay]

There was an old card that I used to love, and still keep copies of them if I find them today. It was called Parasite Paracide. Basically, it's effect is that it gets shuffled into your opponent's deck, and when it gets drawn, it is automatically Special Summoned to your opponent's side of the field, they take 1000 damage, and all monsters they control become Insect-type. Very subpar card, but it has always intrigued me, implanting a card in your opponent's deck, waiting for it to be drawn, and suddenly, sh*t goes down. So I modernized the "virus" if you will, and created the .XE monsters. A play on the .exe format. These monsters follow the same principle of double P, except are more useful for burn and anti-meta decks.

Some problems I have with archetype: I think these cards are a little overpowered, in particular Icarus.XE, so I need help straightening out their effects, making them playable, but not unfair.

Anyway, here are the four I have so far. Thanks again to Hunduel for the card art. Link to his page is in my siggy.

 

 

Rewire.XE

When this card is Normal Summoned, you can put this card face-up in your opponent's Deck and shuffle it. If you do, declare 1 monster Type. While this card is face up in your opponent's Deck, all monsters on the field and in the Graveyard become that Type. When your opponent draws this card, it is immediately sent to the Graveyard, and both players take 1000 damage. 

 

 

Extermination.XE

When this card is Normal Summoned, you can put this card face-up in your opponent's Deck and shuffle it. If you do, while this card is face up in your opponent's Deck, both players must Tribute 1 monster during the End Phase, or pay 2000 life points. When your opponent draws this card, it is immediately sent to the Graveyard, and both players take 1000 damage. 

 

Immolate.XE

When this card is Normal Summoned, you can put this card face-up in your opponent's Deck and shuffle it. If you do, while this card is face up in your opponent's Deck, both players must pay 500 life points to activate the effect of a card. When your opponent draws this card, it is immediately sent to the Graveyard, and both players take 2000 damage. 

 

Icarus.XE

When this card is Normal Summoned, you can put this card face-up in your opponent's Deck and shuffle it. If you do, while this card is face up in your opponent's Deck, both players must pay 1000 life points to Special Summon a monster. When your opponent draws this card, it is immediately sent to the Graveyard, and both players pay half their life points.

and How do you know that a card is face up on the deck of the opponent? Do not get lost? if you send a lot Would not you forget what you sent to the opponent's deck?

Because it's faceup in the Deck and no other card should be face up, easily marking your cards out. 

The actual cards are good, Icarus is very Op'd with no real way to counter it once it's in the deck other than to draw as quickly as possible. I'd tone the effect down to maybe paying 500LP to Special Summon rather than outright stopping it.

Icarus IS very OP, I tried to make it harder to summon, after all, who tribute summons for 7+ monsters any more? However I do see the point. 500 life points seems barely a cost for the effort put in to summon Icarus. I think I'll make it 1000 life points to Special Summon. Thanks for the feedback!
