Duelist Monsters (New type of fictional Monster Card)

[jacobc62]

The basic mechanics of these types of monsters is when using a specialized duel disc, there is a slot for the Duelist-type monster cards. While I haven't decided if it's a holographic effect or if the duel disc reads and actually transforms you into an anthropomorphic version of the monster depicded by the card, it gives you similar ablilites to that of the monster you're using. Also, it gives the effect of having better control of your cards, some of which having secondary abilities if you are using a Duelist-Type monster card.

 

For example, Flame Tiger:

This would transform it's owner into an anthropomorphic tiger with the ability to basically firebend. The "better control over the duelist's monsters." bit is specific to only monsters with a secondary duelist effect, and spell cards with duelist effects cannot have the duelist effect used, except with a spell and/or trap card that removes this effect.

 

 

All Duelist-Type monsters are Spirit Monster cards, and they are somewhat rare, with about 50-100 known to exist. Assuming people are interested in this concept, I will post a few more cards related to Duelist-Type Monsters.

 

 

So, what do you people think of my idea?

The concept seems interesting but its a bit vague on how it enhances your monsters. I think it would be better off structured like a pendulum monster where it has a duelist effect and a monster effect. So while Flame Tiger is in the Duelist zone it would gain an effect that would enhance your Fire monsters and when in a monster zone it would gain the general spirit clause where it returns to your hand at the end phase and a effect like Little Chimera to increase your Fire monsters attack or defence. So if its effect were something like this it could be used as a field monster or as a Duelist monster

[spoiler=Flame Tiger] Level - 8

Duelist effect - All FIRE attribute monsters gain 500 ATK and DEF. Once per turn you can negate the destruction of 1 FIRE attribute monster you control.

Monster effect - This card cannot be Special Summoned. During the End Phase of the turn this card was Normal Summoned or Flipped face-up return it to your hand. All FIRE Attribute monsters gain 500 ATK.

ATK - 2400 DEF - 1200[/spoiler]

 

This is just a suggestion so if its not something like it was planned to be that's OK and I look forward to seeing other cards like this.
