Card Eater - new staple

[HomoSapientissimus]

Card Eater
Monster/LIGHT/Fiend/Level 4/ATK 1900/DEF 1600
FLIP: Gain 500 Life Points for each card your opponent controls, then you can shuffle 1 card
from the field into the Deck. Once per turn: You can discard 1 card, then target 1 monster
your opponent controls; return it to the hand, and if you do, other monsters cannot attack
your opponent directly this turn. You can only control 1 face-up "Card Eater".

Take a look at Spellbook of Fate. It's Limited, right? Why? Because it doesn't target. Making that second part of the flip effect designate a target isn't really hard to write. Just put it like this:

 

"FLIP: Target 1 card on the field; Gain 500 LP for each card your opponent controls, and if you do, shuffle that target into the Deck."

 

The LP gain, I don't really care about. It's not really important on most Decks anyway. Now for the second effect; It's essentially an OPT 1-for-1 version of Brionac's effect that locks your other monsters' direct attacks. The exact reason why Brionac is banned right now is because it's not OPT and even if it was, it has shenanigans. So that's one thing you did right there. The "can only control 1" clause is debatable, but I won't argue over that. Just fix that non-targeting first effect and for me, it's perfect. 9/10.

Done.

Have to ask since my google-fu has failed me... dafaq is "OTP"?

[Trebuchet MS]

"OTP" is "One True Pairing", usually the shipping pair most would consider canon -- oh, right.

 

"OPT" is our abbreviation for "Once per turn", mainly due to how frequently it appears on cards to prevent infinite loops. Sometimes we say "hard OPT clause" for a card effect where the once-per-turn restriction applies to all copies of that card and cannot be reset in the usual manner.

Thanks, I see. So Card Eater x Brionac then? :P
