New Burning Abyss Monsters

[lich mage]

I felt that the burning abyss monsters could easily be expanded on, And so I made some cards that I feel do nicely. Draghignazzo does not have an ability similar to the rest of the burning abyss monsters because I couldn't think of one that wasn't already used by the others or OP.

If you control a "Burning Abyss" monster other than "Rubicante, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss" you can special summon this card from your hand. You can only the use the effect of "Rubicante, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss" once per turn, and only once that turn.

● Send this card to the Graveyard and Set 1 Spell Card directly from your Deck. This turn, that Spell Card cannot be activated.

If you control a monster that is not a "Burning Abyss" monster, destroy this card. Your opponent is unable to use Trap Cards during the Battle Phase.

If you control a "Burning Abyss" monster other than "Rubicante, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss", you can Special Summon this card (from your hand).  During your Main Phase: You can send this face-up card you control to the Graveyard; Set 1 Spell Card directly from your Deck to your Spell/Trap card Zones.  This turn, that Spell Card cannot be activated.  You can only the use the effect of "Rubicante, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss" once per turn.

 

"Only once that turn" is for cards with multiple effects that activate.  The way you worded Rubicante implies it's Special Summon isn't an ignition or trigger effect that activates, instead just an inherent Special Summon.  Ridiculously OP.  Free Special Summon of a Level 6 monster with 2000 ATK that can search out ANY Spell in the Game?  I'm not even sure how you'd balance this out.  The restrictions you gave it (once per turn and cannot activate that Spell card this turn) are by far inadequate IMO.

 

 

 

If you control a monster that is not a "Burning Abyss" monster, destroy this card.  You opponent cannot activate Trap Cards during the Battle Phase.

 

With no Special Summoning effects.  I seriously doubt this card would see play.  You'd have to use up a Normal Summon on it, and why do that when you have TGU?

For Rubicante what if I dropped the Level to 4, and the ATK to 1400. Then have it where if it is special summoned by its effect it gets banished the next turn (To prevent the use of  "The Traveler and the Burning Abyss"). And finally I could have it either pull the top 5 cards from the deck and discard any that don't include Burning abyss in their name, or just only be able to search for the trap card "The Traveler and the Burning Abyss".

 

As for Draghignazzo I have been trying to find a good way to give him a useful ability that fits the theme of the burning abyss set without making it OP.

Rubicante should have an effect like "Add 1 Burning Abyss S/T from your deck to hand."  Burning abyss will probably get more S/T support later on.

 

As for Draghigazzo, just give him a Special Summoning Ability.  In addition, don't let your opponent use trap cards during any phase on your turn.
