Picture might be overused or might not fit perfectly, but I needed a picture of some sort and it seemed to work, so...yeah.

 

I personally feel that balance is the most important thing in a card, so if possible, please give that priority over other factors like minor OCG errors when rating.

I would say, make it when you control no cards, not no monsters. Just an opinion though. Also, make it's ATK boost last until your opponent's turn.

[Guest JoshIcy]

meh, i think this card could be more.... balance almost seems non-existent to me, its like your milling out your own cards for an ATK defender.....

 

10/10 though if you want it rated on balance....

[Azuh]

So is mostly a:

 

Cyber Dragon + Card Trooper and its Trade-In able

 

9/10

[Lucas Maximus]

Well, well, a card from Wilford Brimley himself. =P

Seems nice to me. The image is great (besides been overused a little.)

The card effect is well thought out too.

Well done. ^_^

8.1/10

[Lord Ursus]

Nice card 9/10. However i don´t see why it should be treated as a level 8 monster while in your hand. Awesome pic.

[Guest Chaos Pudding]

Nice card 9/10. However i don´t see why it should be treated as a level 8 monster while in your hand. Awesome pic.

 

Trade-In, TBQH.

 

And I liked the card. Balance seems to be pretty good, though if it can't attack, why not let the ATK boost last until the end of your opponent's next turn?

 

8.8/10, TBQH.

[Cyber Altair]

reminds me of mah smexy Cybah drahgon.

 

i like it, very helpful in a DDT deck.

 

9/10

[Slash]

It looks pretty good, and it seems pretty balanced, so 8.7/10 :)

[SOUL]

The Picture is Okay, but the Card is Awesome! 10/10

It would be too easy to use as a wall.

 

Some of the cards this is designed to work with:

 

Trade-In

Allure of Darkness

Destiny Draw

Elemental Hero Stratos

Reinforcement of the Army

Crush Card Virus

Deck Devastation Virus

Eradicator Epidemic Virus

 

I'm thinking of changing it so you also need to control no spells/traps when it is Special Summoned, but that the effect lasts until the opponent's Main Phase.

[tonisanoob]

wow i see what you mean crab i really do liek this

 

very well done and i think the pic is pretty damn sweet (ive never seen it been used b4 >.<)

 

9/10

[Jesus]

The ATK and DEF should be ? instead of 0.

[CrabHelmet]

Thanks, tonis!

The ATK and DEF should be ? instead of 0.

 

Why do you say that?

[Victory]

nice card 9/10

[N00B Hunter]

yeah... i guess the ATK should last until your Op's turn...

>_<

beefed up card trooped. draw 2 cards 6.9/10

[CrabHelmet]

beefed up card trooped. draw 2 cards 6.9/10

 

Only on an extremely shallow exterior due to a superficial similarity of effect.

 

Also, updated version is now up. Harder to Special Summon, higher final ATK (Union Attack, anyone?), less mill, effect lasts until opponent's Main Phase (for the viruses).

[Skyson]

So really, the card isn't useful on its own, since it can't attack and has multiple stipulations on its summoning. It's sole purpose is a support card. Destiny Draw, Allure of Darkness, Trade-In (the only viable reason to have it be Level 8 while in the hand) and the Virus series all would have this card to use as food.

 

It can currently be Special Summoned by any means since it doesn't restrict its Special Summoning to its own effect. Discard it with Destiny Draw or Trade-In, then Monster Reborn it for a 3000 ATK wall, sounds great.

 

All it's missing is the "When this card is Special Summoned, add 1 Trap Card from your Deck to your hand" to make its purpose incredibly clear to anyone. >_>

 

 

8/10.

[CrabHelmet]

then Monster Reborn it for a 3000 ATK wall

 

Can't be used as a wall; it loses its ATK too soon.

 

Also, I just noticed that this combos with Arms Hole.

[Skyson]

Irregardless, the fact that it's Special Summonable through any other means gives it a relatively steady mill effect. I don't think you should make it unable to attack, though. The sword in that picture looks too awesome to not attack with. Make it so that any Battle Damage it deals to your opponent becomes 100, so you can throw in a wacky Robbin Goblin combo! <_
