When your opponent Normal or Special Summons a monster(s): Place 1 Effect Counter on this card. You can remove 3 Effect Counters from this card: Your opponent must send the top 3 cards of their Deck to the Graveyard. If a card effect, except for this effect, (See below) causes your opponent to discard/send cards cards from their hand/Deck to the Graveyard: They must send the top 3 cards of their Deck to the Graveyard.

I really like the idea of this card, and I really would like to see it play in a mill deck. One mega problem: The last effect loops infinitely, because it activates itself. Also, I really wish there was a shorthand for sending from the deck to the Graveyard. Mill is most often used, but, sadly, is not official. Discarding is only from the hand, though.

 

Your cards have nice inspiration ^^ Keep them up!

It's really rather slow. The first effect you're not ever going to get off unless your opponent goes for a very stupid play which involves them making multiple summons but not dealing with this. Generally you'd come up with a name for the counters, in this case Ethereal or Ravenous Counter would work, as opposed to just "effect counter" but that's immaterial.

 

The second effect is the one more likely to go off, but I can't think of any card that discards as anything other than a cost that is used at the moment. You could do stuff with DW Dealings and Hand Destruction, but then what deck will be using them and also able to bring out a level 7 monster? Pendulums don't need them, anything else is going to have a hard time manufacturing 2 Tributes. I suppose Monarchs could do some kind of wacky deck-out thing with it but apart from that I don't see a place.

 

It's quite an interesting concept, I'd like if it destroyed the cards on the top of the deck because I like cards that destroy things in places other than the field but that's just a preference and really not a good idea as this will already trigger a lot of things and amending it to that would only cause it to trigger more.
