[TCG] [Written] Type Supporter Extraordinaire - Dogmadjinn

[Tojin]

I came up with this idea in the shower this morning, and it's been bouncing around in my head ever since. As the title says, this card is made to support decks with one predominant type of monster, like the new Greydle archetype or Machinas, though it's not exactly optimal in most of them. That was on purpose.

Dogmadjinn

Level 5/DARK/Fiend/Effect

2200/0

If 2 or more monsters with the same Type you control were destroyed by battle or by card effect this turn: You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) at the End Phase. When this card is Summoned: Declare a Type. Monsters you control with that Type gain 500 ATK and cannot be destroyed by battle. You cannot Special Summon monsters, except with the declared Type. You can only control 1 "Dogmadjinn."

Please rate and cnc. Don't be afraid to be harsh or blunt.

Quick OCG fix, then a review:

As a whole, granting battle immunity is nice and the small ATK bonus is nice in certain cases.

That, and it doesn't have to be SSed by its own effect to trigger.

 

Regarding that, it is very specific in when you can SS it. Granted, a lot of Decks lately generally have 2+ monsters with similar Types (Archetypal stuff generally is, so you can probably SS this most of the time), however bear in mind that sweep removal via card effects are much more common lately.

 

You could probably get rid of the "by battle" part of it, so it can trigger off of whenever 2+ monsters go. It gives it a bit more utility against stuff like Mirror Force, Raigeki and the like.

 

That being said, just keep in mind that a lot of Decks do run staple monsters with different Types than what they have in the Main, so it will lock them out of using their ED options in most cases.

(Some of them won't be bothered though, or don't utilize an ED; so it will not be a problem.)

 

Also, you're missing its Attribute. (I assume it's DARK)

[Tojin]

Thanks very much for the feedback and wording fix, Sakura. Looking at the sheer amount of sweepers in the game, making it trigger on effect destruction as well is probably a good idea. And yes, it is supposed to be DARK. I'll fix that real quick.

Basicly a less restricted tualatin for what he needs to be summoned, however he does not hit as hard as tualatin does when he hits the field.

Perhaps you might want to reconsider the summoning conditions, there is a reason monsters like tualatin are not used.

[Tojin]

Changed the phase when it activates, since the wording otherwise was kinda weird.
