Shade Maiden [Original Art!]

[Marco Polo]

 

You can only activate 1 effect of “Shade Maiden” per turn and only once that turn.

➀ : You can discard this card from your hand; add 1 Spirit Monster from your Deck to your hand.

➁ : If a Spirit Monster you control would return to the hand: You can return this card you control to your hand instead.                  

➂ : During your opponent’s Standby Phase, if you Normal Summoned a Spirit Monster last turn: You can Special Summon this card from your Graveyard.

 

So new spirit support. discuss.

I'm not really sure on how Spirits as a deck specifically runs nowadays, but generally speaking, it looks pretty good.

A RotA is never useless, and it sets up her other effect, which at worse is a wall and otherwise it is Tribute fodder and Yamata/Hino-Kagu-Tsushi staying AND setting her up to become a RotA again next turn.

 

As a suggestion (which is not really necessary): I think it could afford to revive during either player's Standby Phase as an option. I mean, Spirits sometimes benefit from leaving a clear field behind when their opponents are Monarchs, Hyeratics, etc. It'd just be a good thing if she could give you a choice of arriving a turn late in order to not leave her usage after revival so much up to the opponent's actions alone.

If not doing it like that is because you'd potentially be able to revive her twice off of your previous turn's Normal Summon (1 during the opponent's turn as a shield and 1 during your own turn as a Tribute Fodder/Extra Deck Material), that could be taken care of in a few ways.

-You could have her banished when sent from the field to the Graveyard (that way her surviving to your turn would unfold the same as what she currently is, allowing her to go back to the hand, and later search and down the road revive again).

-You could make it so that you cannot Normal Summon non-Spirits the turn she revives that way, limiting how generically can her revival be used.

 

Just a suggestion though, the card is still pretty solid IMO.

Thank you!! Sorry for the late replay. 

I decided to make it during the opponent's turn to make it harder to utilize. after all, should you be able to get another treeborn frog? considering this is also a spirit rota that is occasionally reusable I preferred to take a step back and make it revive itself only during the opponent's turn, that way if it cannot return to the hand every turn or so.

Unless of course you still think it should?

 

Tried to make great Spirit support, covering many weak spots. Thank you for the feedback! :^)
