Ing: Dimensional Dark Forces

[Dova]

Updates: Nerfed Dark Aether.

[Dova]

Bump ^^

[♪ ♪Aria ♪ ♪]

I think "Dark Aether" is a bit unbalanced, because it destroys all non "Ing" monsters and I'm sure that the opponent scarcely uses an "Ing" deck, why not change it to destroy all non-dark monsters instead? because dark is more common

[Dova]

I see your point. That's why I added the cost at first, but now I see how unbalanced it is. Thanks, and edited!

[Dova]

Bump.

[Dova]

Bump!

[Kanashimi]

Eto . . .

The problem of Dark Aether isn't the cost, but it's free-Dark Hole each turn.

Maybe this requirement would balance it "During each player's End Phase, if you control another "Ing" card: Destroy all non-"Ing" monsters on the field."

If so, removing the 500 LP costs should be fine.

Eh? It reminds me of LIGHT Sphinx works .-. (using Pyramid of Light instead of Dark Aether)

 

Hope this helps~

[Dova]

I see your point. Gonna edit that. Thanks!

[Dova]

Bump.

[Dova]

Bump.

[Protodax]

Ooooooo~

Meeeeetroooid~

 

They are pretty neat tho. I could see them being a thing.

My greatest concern is on "Emperor Ing - Third Phase"

 If the card Cannot be targeted by card effects, or destroyed by battle or card effects, then it's impossible to get rid right? so once it is summoned, your opponent will be helpless like a gout in the middle of a wolf pack, plus it works as an invincible shield.... this is literally too obliterating-powerful

To increase the agony, it also has an additional effect

Once per turn, you can target up to three face-up cards on the field, reduce their ATK by 2000. If you reduce a monster's ATK to 0 through this effect: Destroy it.

It can reduce three cards attack by 2000 without any cost?

I suggest making it destroyable by battle, to balance it and add a cost for the attack decreasing effect, like pay 700 life points for each card this effect applies to, or this card loses 500 attack at each of your end phases, to exploit a weakness

It's not invincible because Storming Mirror Force, and it's not broken because of how hard it would be to get out. Also its effect could just be negated. Or it could be flipped facedown.

[Fukato]

It cant be targetted by card effects like Book of Moon and Fiendish Chain so you cant really negate its card effects except by either Lose 1 Turn the turn its summoned, or Skill Drain. You can Solemn Warning it or Great Horn of Heaven it. But yeah its not overpowered based on its summoning conditions, so the opponent may just wound up destroy one of the last two forms before this big bad guy can even come out.

[Protodax]

I was thinking of the new Mirror Forces and Numeron Force
