Rygar, Dancing Warwolf

[Kingdom Xathers]

 

If this card destroys a monster by battle: You can add 1 "Wolf", "Wulf" or "Lycan" monster from your Graveyard to your hand. If this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent: You can send 1 "Wolf", "Wulf" or "Lycan" monster from your Deck to the Graveyard. You can only activate 1 effect of "Rygar, Dancing Warwolf" per turn, and only once that turn.

 

[spoiler=Originally, it was this]

 

All "Wolf", "Wulf" and "Lycan" monsters you control gain 300 ATK and DEF for every other "Wolf", "Wulf" or "Lycan" monster you control. If the conditions for the following effects occur at the same time, activate them in sequence.

@ If this card destroys a monster by battle: You can add 1 "Wolf", "Wulf" or "Lycan" monster from your Graveyard to your hand.

@ If this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent: You can send 1 "Wolf", "Wulf" or "Lycan" monster from your Deck to the Graveyard.

Critique and Comment, pretty please~<3

 

 

(((and before anyone says anything: Yes, I grabbed the artwork from a CFV card.  It's called "Dancing Wolf", if you're that interested.)))

I'm 90% sure both activate in Substep 5 of the damage step so the effect is written fine, they'd activate in sequence (if chosen).  

This card is "self-synergy", b/c it has an effect to gain ATK and gains an effect when destroys a monster and when inflicts BP dmg.  Also level 4 which is nice, also a Tuner which is super nice.  Has the best stats a monster could as for.

 

The effect is really awfully rewarding.  Recycle + Burial (which is self-syngergy, since next turn you can add the card you just burial'd).  

The most recent monster I can remember that gained an effect from Battle Destruction (and was relevant) was Jurrac Guiaba, and this is kind of a 1-UP from that.  Which I'm not arguing, power creep would lead to this anyway.  I'd love to try this card out with Horn of the Phantom Beast.

Summary:  Card is SUPER good.  But I don't think it's OP, it's borderline, but I think if Konami were to make a new archetype like this it would have an effect very similar to something like this.

Oh dear, and here I had already edited the card without leaving behind what it was before.  Hang on, lemme edit my Opening Post before something gets nasty....

 

EDIT: Alright, I've posted what the effect was before, along with other details before the change.

 

LeLukeX, I know you went through the trouble of rating the card as it was before the change and I apologize for inadvertently making that effort for nothing.  That's why I've posted the original card for comparison.

If find this to be a lot better and much more fair.  Burial and Recycle was a little too much, but I'm kind of accepting on OP cards b/c cards are made to help you win (not to help you lose), and I'd rather have it be a little too good than a little too bad.  

I think it's much better being once per turn instead.

IMO I'm a major nut for cards that gain effects from destroying monsters by battle.  I find it one of the greatest ways to play Yugioh, it has the most player interaction.  

Realistically though cards like this usually end up being Tier 2 or 1.5 if possible.  If you wanted to have a Tier 1 Like Deck during the meta the original effect would actually be the way to go, except of course, Tier 1 Decks always get hit by the ban list one way or another.
