Rebalanced Flame Swordsman

[Th3 Gr4nd 3lf]

Heya all, thought i'd post my idea of a remake of a classic. After all, it's meant to be Joey's favorite monster and I always found it a bit underwhelming

So here's my version:

 

                                 

                           Name: Flame Swordsman / Attribute: Fire / Level 7

                           Type: Warrior/Fusion/Effect / Flame Manipulator + Masaki the Legendary Swordsman.

                           "A Dinosaur type monster that battles with this card is destroyed at the start of the damage step"

                           ATK/2250 DEF/1700

 

So what do yoou think? any balancing suggestions?

Cheers

It fits into its anime effects, but overall it's not particularly great, considering Dinosaurs aren't really relevant nowadays, outside of Evols (and those were out of style for quite some time).

Doesn't need to be toned down, but you have to consider the fact that its materials are ones that no one uses.

Very true, very true. Still, I made this a while ago and thought I'd put it out here, In case some people like old style decks and felt this card a bit underwhelming perhaps? XD

Besides it's just not fair that some older cards don't get any love anymore.

It's not that old cards don't get love; they simply aren't used as they were years ago. Besides, there are many people on YT who show their old cards and say how much they cherish them!

 

  As for the card: Instant Fusion would only apply here if the monster's Level was 5. so there's almost no other way to Summon this dude. Additionally, since there's no particular original Fusion Material that could replace the existing ones, why not try to make Flame Swordsman be an Effect Monster? (It didn't count as a Fusion Monster in the Duelist Kingdom era anyway).

  Wouldn't look as good, but it's up to you in the end.
