Ivory Gray

Ivory Gray

LIGHT | | LEVEL 4

[ Zombie // Effect ]

Target 1 face-up Pendulum monster:  Destroy it, then Special Summon this card from your hand.  You cannot conduct your Battle Phase during the turn this card was Summoned by its own effect.  When this card is sent to the Graveyard:  Send all copies of "Ivory Gray" from your Deck to the Graveyard.

[ 0 / 0 ]

 

Weird card, amirite?

"When this card is sent to the Graveyard:  Send all copies of "Ivory Gray" from your Deck to the Graveyard." I don't get this nor do I like it.  With that clause, I would run a max of 1, then again, since it is kinda situational, I think I would only side deck this card on Xyz decks anyways.

I suppose you can use this as added Rank 4 fodder against Pendulum decks, but otherwise it does little (if anything to stop them), but yeah not seeing a viable use for this card.

 

Honestly, I'd just remove the BP lock in its entirety; popping a Pendulum to summon this is balanced enough that you shouldn't need to cut off your Battle Phase. Not that you're going to have multiple copies in hand though.

I can see the last effect being somewhat helpful for Cyberdark Dragon, what with it gaining an extra 100 ATK for each monster in its controller's Graveyard, but otherwise it doesn't seem very helpful outside of being Rank 4 Xyz fodder like Sakura said. Besides Cyberdark Dragon is more likely than not to be utilized with a Machine-Type/Cyber Dragon deck rather than a Zombies deck.

The send to Graveyard effect could be helpful, since Zombies focus around the Graveyard. It also does deck thinning and can be used as chaos fodder, so don't just count the last effect as completely useless.

The battle phase restriction is quite harsh but this does need some sort of restriction. Destroying a pendulum monster isn't a cost at all, not to mention the fact that you could destroy your opponent's, and this card just furthers the amount of Rank 4 shenanigans Pendulums can do.

Oh yes, and I think the special summon effect should have a once per turn, or a control only one clause should be put on the card to prevent spamming multiple copies from your hand. Zombies are quite searchable, after all.

Just as a sidenote that the 14-day period for threads had passed about a day before Kurama's post, so yeah I have to lock this now.

(Both of you did follow AC though, so that's fine)

 

For reference, if thread hasn't gotten a reply in 14 or more days, then just leave it alone (as members have probably forgotten about it after a while).
