Gaia, The Earth Remover

[Iriq]

 

[spoiler=Effect]

Requires 3 Tributes to Normal Summon (cannot be Normal Set). When this card is Normal Summoned, you can draw 2 cards. Cannot be Special Summoned, except by its own effect. You can Set this card from your hand to your Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Spell Card. When this Set card is sent to the graveyard, select 1 card in your opponent's Spell/Trap Card Zone that was in the same column as this card (if possible), and if you do, destroy that target (if any); Your opponent cannot use the selected zone as long as this card remains in the Graveyard. During the End Phase of the turn this Set card in your Spell & Trap Card Zone was destroyed by an opponent's card effect and sent to the Graveyard: If 3 "Gaia, The Earth Remover" exist in your Graveyard, you can shuffle 2 "Gaia, The Earth Remover" monsters from your Graveyard into your Deck; then Special summon 1 "Gaia, The Earth Remover" from your Graveyard to your side of the field.[/spoiler]   

 

 

 

 

Personal Notes:

It's effect format is meant to be a mix between Silver Sentinel/Toy Magician and Beast King Barbaros/Gilford The Lightning. So basically, you can either Normal Summon it OR set it in your S/T zone. When the time is right, after blocking up to 3 of the opponent's S/T individual card zones, you get to SS him with more safety (meaning, less OP'd traps to take him out). The effects are very specific so it's actually much harder to use the SS'ing portion of the effects. I suppose I could banish them instead of shuffling them back into the Deck (for another chance to Summon them), but considering how many banishing traps exist nowadays, we would be lucky if we could use his SS effect the 1st time around.
