Baste, Dealer of the Burning Abyss (BA's Daigusto Emeral)

[Monarch King]

 

2 Level 3 monsters

 

During your Main Phase 2, you can also Xyz Summon this card by using a "Dante, Traveler of the Burning Abyss" you control as the Xyz Material. (Xyz Materials attached to that monster also become Xyz Materials on this card). Once per turn:

 

You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 3 "Burning Abyss" monsters in your Graveyard; shuffle all 3 into the Deck, then draw 1 card. You can detach 2 Xyz Materials from this card; this card's ATK becomes double its original ATK until the end of this turn. You can only use 1 "Baste, Dealer of the Burning Abyss" effect per turn, and only once that turn.

Nooo. Please nooo. They do need something like this but it's just a superior Downerd which makes them grind far too hard.

[Monarch King]

I can fix this but i need your suggestions.

[Sir Yamiegg]

This card would be great for BA, but the Downerd design breaks it, as it almost ensures Dante will end up gaining his effect as well as being a game-changer late-game. I would make it require 3 Level 3s as materials and remove the Downerd effect, adding some kind of weak floater effect to make it have that BA flavour.

 

This way it will help but be balanced.

 

Also, all the names are from Dante's Inferno. As far as I know, to baste is to pour liquid over cooking meat to keep it from burning. Call it "Bolgia", maybe? (Not enough time right now to explain)

[Monarch King]

I did some changes, i removed the "Downerd" summoning condition and i gave an additional eff with the cost of detaching 2 materials to make him an "Excalibur" for your turn.
