Shining Friendship counterpart?! [Original Art =3]

[Marco Polo]

Just distracting myself a little, this is Gloomy Darkness. another fairy to the set of Shining Friendship's counterpart monsters.

I took the whole Normal Monster support seriously ^^

 

You can Special Summon this card from your hand. If you do, this card cannot be used as Synchro or Xyz Material or be Tributed, except for the Tribute Summon of a LIGHT monster. 

If this card is in your Graveyard: You can pay 500 Life Points; equip this card to a Normal LIGHT monster you control, it gains the following effect:

• At the start of the Damage Step, if this card battles an Effect Monster: Destroy it.

 

Discuss.

Hmmmm..... I don't see this being that great actually. While the flavor is intact, it's really hard to work with with the current restrictions it has, unfortunately. You either:
1. Have to get this card to the Graveyars somehow, which means probably a Deck you aren't running Normal LIGHTs in
2. The restriction of the SS is kind of a letdown, since 1600ATK isn't anything to stand up on
It's a no win situation either way really, unfortunately, cause this seems rather interesting and a decent idea. I only really see this being abused for tribute fodder (For card effects) the way it is now, which is sad because the 2nd effect is really nice. You could have it equip from the field as well, which leaves for some nice options, and for the SS effect, maybe have it so you can't SS monsters, except LIGHT Fairy Type monsters, which would keep Shining Friendship in the loop, but also prevent too much abuse from happening. You also would have some decent Synchro and Xyz options, but nothing that would totally break the game. Overall, a decent card with some potential, but currently it is lost in its own restrictions of use

I really disagree. 

1.What? "somehow". you Summon it, it becomes Tribute fodder for a LIGHT monster, there it is. In the Graveyard. 

2.The restriction only allows 1 use - Tribute for a LIGHT monster. This opens up endless choices for decks centered around Normal monsters. they tech more LIGHT material and there you go - this card becomes fantastic.

It turns into Shaddoll Construct vs effect monsters, that can activate various times from the Graveyard. 

 

You're talking as if Xyzs and Synchros are the only things in existence. While they sort-of are currently, I'm trying to develop something else. Having this be used as Synch or Xyz Material really takes all the point from it.

The only problem with that is the only good Level 5 or 6 LIGHT Normal Monster currently is Wattail, the others have 1900 ATK or less, which makes is seem underwhelming for rn. It's definitely good, but it has to be taken into account when this card gets MST'd what you have on the field: Only a solid beater, and you want that beater to have decent ATK. I could see it being decent if we got more options, but for now, there aren't many

uhm thanks.

As you probably noticed, she's from Argentina so her English isn't so great.

 

Anyway, as above user noted, there aren't too many good LIGHT 1-Tribute monsters, save for Hieratics and Wattaildragon; all of which have better things to be using.

You can still Fusion with this card, yes, but to be honest, there aren't too many compatible ones that'll work without screwing consistency.

 

Its second effect, I can probably see in Chaos Decks or something; since it is for most intents/purposes, going to blow up a significant portion of common monsters.

Either that, or Fairies; but that's probably the intent of things here.

 

(Going into the 2-Tribute range, there are some better ones)
