Wendigation! [Original Cardart]

[Marco Polo]

So Voltex, Noel and I were discussing a card for DP two days ago - and I volunteered to make art for it. 

:D

 

You can only activate 1 "Wendigation" per turn and only once that turn. 

(1) : Cards cannot be returned or shuffled into the hand or Deck.

 

*Face doesn't make sense? she's double faced. cover each part of her face to get the point ^^

The hard OPT clause is clever design, pretty much ensuring that keeping up a MST will protect you from this card being chained to your stuff. I like that. Seems like a viable side card with 2 or 3 in side. 1-2 main might even be viable, depending on meta. 

 

EDIT: Oh. I assumed this was a continuous trap. What does this even DO as a normal spell card?

It was a continuous spell, just forgot to edit the symbol.

but a trap makes more sense, thanks! 

 

I was really not satisfied with the art, so I altered it completely and added more detail.

discuss! ;)

Still left the spell symbol in the corner.

So it counters bouncing, eh? Definitely one for the side deck, though probably one for a different meta when non-floodgate traps are good again. Tis also fairly balanced due to effecting your own cumpulse or PWWB as well. All in all, I like it, two thumbs up!

Forgot to mention this earlier, but I found the artwork kinda creepy; it would have been less disturbing if it was just a tied up Wen.

The effect and name you used for this card is different to the one I had in mind and posted as a Written Card, so that's makes both cards practically different. But that's fine.

I also find interesting how this card got more replies than the written one; I can't tell if it was because this is in AC instead of CC, or because the other was written while this has an artwork, or both.

 

To comment on the effect, the first clause looks unecessary in my opinion; most floodgates don't have it anyways, and the chance of activating 2 in the same turn should be low anyways.

Then, unlike the written version, this stops bounce/spins as costs as well so it is a more oppresive lock, but on the other hand, it won't affect cards that specifically return to the Extra Deck. So yeah, it's not better than the written version, it just has different applications.

Alternatively, this could be used in yosenju. It alters the playstyle heavily, but Misak gets a little silly.

And voltex, I recall that when Vanity's was being discussed, someone said one of the worst parts is that even if the opponent has MST, a second Vanity's pretty much enzures the game. The effect on this is not quite as powerful, but I imagine the clause prevents similar issues.

[Darj]

Yes, that's makes sense. It isn't necessary in my opinion but it's not bad to have it either.

And yeah, this should be effective at stopping certain decks such as Yosenjus and Ritual Beasts. The latter can also be stopped by Iron Wall, but if your deck likes to banish, then this would be an effective alternative.

 

Spirits can also take advantage of it by locking themselves on the field. I believe the already have a card that does a similar thing, but havign more "copies" if availabe shouldn't be bad.

Creepy as in? What you see is wen going through the shaddolification process (which is what's done to her if she's tied up). Most of her is already doll, but some of her is still a living wen. That's also a kind of artist interpretation if you will.
But I've made the art for you guys so in case you're not fond it can be changed.
What do you find disturbing? Is it the double face?

Wendigation just sounded more appropriate than oppressing strings. If you like it can be changed back but oppressing strings is less punny, and feels less viable as a name honestly.

As for the effect, I thought the previous was too situational, less stappley than intended. The current one can do more, the more the merrier under the boundaries of balance much?

Well, mostly it's the tears because it means Wen is in pain. If she was sleeping or inconscious then it wouldn't be as unsettling.

And the name and effects are fine, really. Just commented on how the written and artwork version ended up different, but this version works just as fine.

 

Hmm... now that I think about it, this can't actually hurt Ritual Beasts, since the Fusions shuffle themselves into the ED, and this doesn't affect ED bounce/spins. And, well, this conflicts with the card's flavor.

It does prevent ed bounces and spins.
Just like compulsory can bounce into the ed without stating so, this can as well (it doesn't even state "main deck", just "deck"). Also prohibiting shuffling btw, so it does indeed screw with ritual beast a lot. Not that they need to be screwed really but yeah.
And check, I'll see how it looks without tears. ;)

The thing is that Ritual Beast Fusions, and Glad Fusions as well, return/spin themselves specifically to the Extra Deck, not to hand or Deck, and thus, technically this floodgate won't be able to stop them.

If I recall right deck stands for deck in general, there are two specific terms, being extra and main. Deck is a general term I believe.
