Who like curses and wolves during full moons? [whispers] I do

Who like curses and wolves during full moons? [whispers] I do. With a cursed item that allows immense power though darkness to take hold and let the inner beast that we hold locked up inside out of it's cage.


Arian of Savbarbage: Level 4 LIGHT Warrior-Type
Tuner Effect monster 1200 Attack and 1850 Defense
This card is also always treated as a Beast Warrior-Type monster. While you control a Beast Warrior-Type monster expect this card, this card gains 800 ATK. When this card is Summon: You can add 1 Zombie-Type monster from your Deck to your hand. During either player's turn you can Tribute this card to Special Summon 1 Beast Warrior-Type monster from your Deck in Defense Position: its ATK and DEF becomes 0. When this card leaves the field: You can add 1 "Gunbai of Resurreccion" from your Deck to your hand. You can only use 1 "Arian of Savbarbage" effect per turn, and only once that turn.


Gunbai of Resurrección: Equip Spell card
This card can only be equipped to a Warrior-Type monster. The equipped monster's original ATK and DEF becomes 0 also, can not be destroyed in Battle. When this card is activated: you can return 1 card you control to your hand, except this card to send 1 Beast Warrior-Type monster from your Deck to your Graveyard. You can only control 1 face-up "Gunbai of Resurreccion". You can only activate 1 "Gunbai of Resurreccion" once per turn.


Resurwulf, Fanged Stalker: Level 4 DARK Beast Warrior-Type
Non-Tuner Effect monster 1850 Attack and 1200 Defense
This card is also always treated as a Zombie-Type monster. If you do not control a face-up "Gunbai of Resurreccion" destroy this card. If you control "Arian of Savbarbage" in Attack Position, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand.) You can shuffle 1 Warrior-Type monster and Beast Warrior-Type monster except this card in your Graveyard into your Deck; Special Summon this card from your Graveyard. If Summoned this way, banish this card when it leaves the field. When this card is banished: Special Summon 1 "Resurwulf, Fanged Stalker" from your hand or Graveyard except this card.

CnC would be nice, but like I am expecting it from you or anything.

Tenki/Rota/Warrior returning Alive to gather most of the pieces quickly. You want as many "Resurwulf, Fanged Stalker" in your graveyard and quickly as possible, "Resurwulf, Fanged Stalker" will recycle "Arian of Savbarbage" back into the Deck, for repeated performances.

There are some problems with the OCG, like "you can Tribute this card to Special Summon 1 Beast Warrior-Type monster from your Deck, its ATK and DEF becomes 0", which should actually be "you can Tribute this card to Special Summon 1 Beast Warrior-Type monster from your Deck: its ATK and DEF becomes 0", or "you can return 1 card except this card you control to your hand", where it should be "you can return 1 card you control to your hand, except this card".

Also, some inaccuracies in your English grammar ("When this monster is Summoned", not "when this monster is Summon"), but all in all, it's pretty minor stuff. I'm trying to figure out how it would combo with existing cards, so I can't really say about their playability. For now, they just look like a quick Level 8 Synchro engine with some good limitations, which isn't too bad.

If you're going to do absolutely nothing but fix OCG, at least f*cking do it right. ._.

 

Taken from Hieratic Dragon of Su: "When this card is Tributed: Special Summon 1 Dragon-Type Normal Monster from your hand, Deck or Graveyard, and make its ATK and DEF 0." In this case, the colon goes after "During either player's turn," as taken from DD Magical Astronomer Galilei. Because the Tributing in this case is a cost (as opposed to Su, who gets the effect off by being Tributed), there should be a semicolon after "You can Tribute this card." Therefore, the effect should be worded like this:

 

"During either player's turn: You can Tribute this card; Special Summon 1 Beast Warrior-Type monster from your Deck in face-up Defense Postion, and make its ATK and DEF 0."

 

(Face-up part taken from cards like Gogogo Ghost and Archfiend Commander. It's also necessary if you're Special Summoning in Attack Position, as shown in Call of the Haunted.)

 

Second rewording sounds right because of the other "except this card" clauses though.

 

 

--------------------------

 

 

Now, onto the cards. Both of the monsters having two Types at any given time feels really abusable. I mean, the first one is searchable by both RotA and Tenki at the same time. Second one is searchable by Tenki and GobZom, and also millable by Unizombie if that becomes a thing. Then there's the lack of restriction on Arian's searching, or Special Summoning, effects. Like, you could add Mezuki and start ditching it with Zombie Master or Unizombie (again, if that becomes a thing) and then start getting rezzes out of thin air. It won't break anything too much, but it really feels a lot safer if you would just limit the search to specifically what you're wanting it to search.

 

The Special Summoning effect is pretty evil in itself since you can chain it to your opponent attempting to remove it from the field and get a +1 (- this, + the Special Summoned monster, + wasting your opponent's effect). Your opponent could try to run it over by battle in this case, but you can just swap this out for Giant Rat and eat up a battle phase. Again, nothing too gamebreaking, but there could be something else other than Giant Rat that might benefit a little too much from this, either currently existing or some time in the future (ergo, limiting future card design). Not to mention it is Lonefire Blossom.

 

Gunbai further pressures your opponent to waste cards just to get around your Arian by not letting it get killed by battle. For a time, it doesn't matter that much because you can just swing at it and deal damage because it's in Attack, but afterwards you have to spend an effect just to try to get rid of either this or Arian, and in either case your opponent can (and most likely will) just Tribute Arian for the free Summon. It's... ok, though it feels like a jerk move. Eh. The bigger problem that this card is the bouncing cost. You can just fulfill it by Setting something and then bouncing that, so it hardly even feels like an actual cost. Furthermore, you could just bounce a dead CotH, or a Field/Continuous Spell with a "once-per-turn" effect, so the cost ends up being useful for you. It hardly feels like it should be a cost at all. Being Foolish Burial for any Beast Warrior, again, could possibly mean that you send any Beast Warrior, and lead to unforseen combos. Like, you could dump a Level 3 Fire Fist for FF - Spirit, but needing to be equipped specifically to a Warrior hurts that. There's also milling Wulf, which means you get a Level 8 Synchro or a Rank 4 Xyz out of the play (in the case of the Synchro, you can opt not to search a Zombie just to get another Gunbai, and slowly loop if you bounced a CotH). Again, just limit it to milling what you want to have it mill and you won't have to deal with accidents.

 

I'm not very sure about Resurwulf right now. You could just run Wulf instead of this for, like, that loop. But if you specified what you're milling or whatever'ing, then this could definitely be useful. Summoning itself from the Grave is a really powerful effect (you know, like Zephyros), but its dependency on the Equip puts it in its place. Because you can Special Summon it from the hand, you could just search this with Arian and then equip Gunbai because you have to. Of course, that means you can't search another Gunbai if you Synchro, but early-game you probably can't rezz this quite yet. Recycling your cards for +1 Summons from the Grave sounds a little dumb though.

 

Because of how werewolves, lycans, and whatnot change at certain times (I'm not really into them, though, so I'm not very sure about these kind of things :/), it would be more interesting if these had a different Type only during certain times, rather than just having both all the time. It hurts the insane searchability they have with rather-generic cards, but you could probably become really creative with the whole change thing.
