Crescent Moon Warrior

[Atypical-Abbie]

A Pendulum Monster which almost all Pendulum Decks will be able to make use of.

 

 

Pendulum Effect:

Once per turn: You can shuffle 1 face-up Pendulum Monster in your Extra Deck into the Main Deck, and if you do, draw 1 card and reveal it, then if its a Pendulum Monster, all monsters you control (if any) gain 300 ATK and DEF until the end of the next turn.

 

Monster Effect:

When this card is Normal or Pendulum Summoned: You can target 1 Pendulum Monster in your Graveyard; shuffle it into the Deck and this card gains ATK equal to half that target's ATK until the end of the next turn.

I am not a fan of this for a lot of reasons. First, this turns monsters in ED into more accessible plusses, further enhancing an already strong mechanic.

 

Additionally, this is a level 4 DARK warrior scale 7. This could have been totally vanilla and still been pretty good. The effects on top of that is simply bonkers.

 

On the bright side, her scale isn't 8, because then she would just be nuts with OEPD.

How do you suggest to make it less "bonkers" (I don't see how that's too powerful, as you are still giving up a monster you can Pendulum Summon to draw something).

Precisely, you give up a card in exchange for another one, so in which way is that a plus (except if you look at potential advantage and true advantage, however in practice it would not make a difference.

You do know that the current pendulum cards are not as strong as they are because they are pendulums, but rather abuse that mechanic, do you ?

(odd-eyes, insight magician, qliphort tool, eccentric archfiend, (especially apex avian (even though he is no pendulum)), igknights, inferior dragon magician, majespecters (as they are designed to have the regular pendulum floating AND abuse it by going +1 each time you summon them), skullcrobat joker (searching out of 3 archtypes on top of a 1.8k rank 4 material body ...) and pendulum wizard (allowing to turn cards you control into potential advantage (in the extra deck, basicly real cards if you can access them (so can place scales)) to go +1 for each card you transform, basicly giving you free potential advantage (including skullcrobat joker) and that each turn) just to name a few are all cards which are DESIGNED to abuse the mechanic, they ARE meant to be overpowered, not simply by being pendulums, but rather by being meant to abuse that fact).
