Amongst the deepest depths, your hoof-beats resound with my soul! Rise up from your watery prison and quench my opponent's thirst for defeat!

 

[spoiler=Kampoi - The Ocean's Legend]

If this card is face-up on the field: Send 1 WATER monster from your hand or Deck to the Graveyard to send all cards on the field to the Graveyard, except this card. This card gains 500 ATK for each WATER monster sent to the Graveyard by this effect until the End Phase. You can only control 1 "Kampoi - The Ocean's Legend". You can only use this effect of "Kampoi - The Ocean's Legend" once per Duel.

Inspiration

The development of this card in my mind wasn't as hard as I originally made it out to be. I heard about the whole horse theme and I thought of something immediately: Who in mythology created the horse? In Greek/Roman mythos, it was Poseidon/Neptune, God of the Sea who created the first horse. This also got me to think of something else. I finally decided to base it on the water-horses (or the Hippokampoi). This is where the name of the monster is derived from, the Hippokampoi were the immortal water-horses that pulled Poseidon's chariot. Now with effect, I went another route. I based the beginning effect, with minor edits on Neo-Daedalus, because of this, it can be looked as a normal WATER monster where it prepares for a bigger play. And as to limit the probable loop with the effect and using multiples of Kampoi, I placed the restrictions above to where one can only control 1 of said monster and can only use the effect once.

 

Intended Idea

Like most WATER attributed monsters, Kampoi is able to help out in aiding its WATER brethren in which he is able to clear the field and give its user a clean slate to work with. Not only this, a combo using this along with the cards to recycle your monsters within the graveyard is also possible. However, something like that would also cause some powering down of Kampoi, as its effect when it gains 500 attack with each WATER monster in the grave when it sends them there himself. But if the power is something you can work without, then the recycling can help.
