Miracle Overdrive
Trap/Normal

If this Set card leaves the field: Draw 1 card. If your Life Points are 2000 or less: Shuffle all cards on the field into the deck, and if you do, you can Xyz Summon 1 monster from your Extra Deck using monsters in the Graveyard(s) as Xyz Materials. Cards and effects cannot be activated in response to this effect.

If it wasn't for that 2000 or less restriction, I'd be laughing you off right now.

 

However with the restriction, it becomes a relatively lucksack card that does extremely unfair things. 

Can't respond to it. Resets the field, AND gives you your choice of an Xyz Monster? 

 

Even with that kind of condition, this type of effect is not fair in the slightest, and should be avoided at all costs.

 

And to top it off, you even input a failsafe. If your opponent tries to MST it, you get a +1. If they get rid of it with a monster effect, you instantly replace the card. Normally, this would be a fair effect, but it becomes absolutely busted when it becomes a failsafe for a ludicrously bullshit effect.

Royal Tribute is a lucksack card. Rekindling is a lucksack card. Judgment Dragon is a lucksack card. Snatch Steal and Raigeki are lucksack cards. They even made whole archetype based around lucksacking, in the form of Infernity. As a result, this card could easily be released by Konami.

 

Also the whole point is that it 'lucksacks' in your vocabulary, or as I would say, gives a chance to the player to come back if he would get OTKed by a broken meta deck such as Qliphorts. And with many other cards to soon be released that easily put over 8000 damage on board, e.g. Noden and Number 95, there has never been a better time for this card to be made.

But Royal Tribute is [acronym='Hits the opponent's hand hard for no real cost. It hits your too, but you have the card, so you have control over when it's played.']retarded[/acronym]. Rekindling is [acronym='Multi-Monster Reborn. It only works on your monsters and only very specific ones, but it also had really annoying Quasar shenanigans. Like, this card took meaning away from Lavals and Flamvells for that card.']retarded[/acronym]. JD is [acronym='Summons itself for free, if you meet an easy condition. Nukes the field for a really cheap amount that many people don't even consider a cost because the missing life points won't be missed. Can even nuke multiple times. And when that's done, you often deal heavy damage, forcing your opponent into a state of emergency if they haven't lost yet. Plus, in Lightsworns, it's not even a sack card.']retarded[/acronym]. Snatch Steal and Raigkei are [acronym='Snatch steal is a +2; your opponent loses a monster and you gain one. And it's usually a high-value monster too, like some sort of boss. Raigeki is a free frontrow wipe, and the multitude of floaters and monsters immune to it doesn't make it any less of a problem.']retarded[/acronym]. Infernities are [acronym='At first, they had a loop that could wreck the opponent's resources to hell and back with Ice Barrier Synchros. After that was fixed, they began to rise again with Lavalval Chain. Chain is a problem card, but so is Infernity Archfiend. They also weren't that dependent on lucksacking.']incredibly dumb[/acronym].

 

Anti-OTKing cards exist in the form of cards like T-Roar, Trag, and Gorz. This just punishes your opponent for almost winning in general, even outside of OTKs, by wiping your opponent's entire board (with the way you've designed it, you're not winning enough for a field spin to hurt you more than the opponent) and then giving you a free Xyz. You're designing cards to fight "teh broken and feelinghurty meta" that are actually more broken than the cards you're wanting to stop. If you wanted to, you could even use Soul Charge or Instant Fusion to set your Life Points to 2k-, and then you have a disrupting field spin that can't be chained to. That can go off any time in your opponent's turn. Or even your own. That gives you a boss monster (at least Noden costs 1k Life Points and takes up Extra Deck space, and no, Noden's synergy with IF is not alright).

 

If you want to make this kind of card, at least try to make it so that it only goes off when you're actually intending it to. Because right now, it's more than just an anti-OTK card. One thing that needs to go is definitely the Life Point requirement. Life Point requirements tend to overpower card effects just because of the Life Point requirement, and trying to give these kinds of cards fair and balanced effects won't work because there aren't enough times that they can go live for you to consider running them. So, in order to avoid this, you've busted this card five ways to hell, back, and then to Sri Lanka, just so it would be worth running despite the condition. The end result isn't balanced; it's either dead as dirt or stupidly overpowered. Once you're removed the Life Point requirement, you can focus on making the card counter exactly what you want it to counter.

I'm not saying that these cards aren't retarded or shouldn't exist in the game; on the contrary, my point is that since Konami has already made cards as broken as these, there is no reason why they couldn't release this.

 

Maybe then

 

If your opponent declares an attack with a monster whose ATK is greater than or equal to your Life Points: Shuffle all cards on the field into the deck, and if you do, you can Xyz Summon 1 monster from your Extra Deck using monsters in the Graveyard(s) as Xyz Materials. Cards and effects cannot be activated in response to this effect.

[Durandamon]

Havent seen an OTK enabler as easy as this. Wall of Revealing Light to 2000, activate this, go into Barian Hope, gg. The worst is that you dont care about CnC at all with your cards. You just try to justify why they are not op, when they are.

Just because Konami's released some crazy stuff doesn't mean we should follow in their poorly-set boundaries of what's broken and what's not. We'd rather try to learn from their mistakes to avoid accidentally creating cards of the same calibre. Try imagining being subject to the cards you've created and see how many times you facepalm.

 

The revised effect is slightly better, but still somewhat in the power ranks of "anime plot device". Cleaning the board with a boardwipe that neither targets nor destroyes (you seem to be rather fond of those, by the way) when you're about to lose is already incredibly powerful. Giving you a free Xyz of your choice on top of that makes it almost silly. Making it completely unstoppable is facepalm-worthy.

 

If we cut everything such that it's just the boardwipe with the anti-OTK condition, it might be questionable at worst, but agreeable to some. Right now, few can agree that this is balanced.
