A pair of Evilswarm Pendulum cards

[The Nyx Avatar]

 

Pendulum Effect:Once per turn: You can target 1 "lswarm" monster that is banished or in your Graveyard; add it to your hand. Tribute Summoned "lswarm" monsters cannot be targeted by your opponent's card effects.

 

Monster Effect:Once, while this card is face-up on the field: You can double this card's original ATK and DEF until your next Standby Phase. If you do, your opponent takes no Battle Damage involving battles with ths card.

 

 

Pendulum Effect:Once per turn: You can target 1 "lswarm" monster on the field; it gains 500 ATK,. Tribute Summoned "lswarm" monsters cannot be destroyed by your opponent's card effects.

 

Monster Effect:When this card is destroyed by battle: You can Special Summon 1 "lswarm" monster with a different name from your Deck. You can only activate this effect of "Evilswarm Scathach" once per turn.

Firstly, the flavor is awful. I know that Lswarm BEWD exists, but that doesn't mean it's flavorful. It's anything but. BEWD is not connected to the Duel Terminal canon. Not to mention that both ATK and DEF of an Evilswarm are meant to be edited with 50 in either direction, and BEWD with halved stats cannot do such, so it doesn't fit even more.

 

Similar for Winda, too. She has an infected El-Shaddoll form, meaning she couldn't have become a Lswarm, so the flavor doesn't work here either.

 

And the flavor gets even worse when you consider these are Pendulums. The power of pendulum did not appear in the DT universe until many, many years after the Lswarm appeared, and at that point the only existing Lswarm is Kerykeion... Who wouldn't use his power to infect people, as he was a de facto deity before Construct assaulted him somehow. So it doesn't make sense for Lswarm to have pendulums.

 

Then there's the fact that you made a generic Scale 2 Plushfire clone. As if Plushfire was a fair card, you made a copy of it that speeds up making Ophion/Nightmare/Bahamut, as if that's fair in the least, and when paired with something like Luster Pendulum, it gives you a 2450 attacker. Like, this card is just another way Rescue Rabbit is better, on TOP of its natural power. And it's not like a generic scale 7 that doubles as an out akin to Archfiend Eccentrick but with a better Level/Attribute.

 

everything about these is just plain wrong.

Yeah; that's not my point in making these cards. It's more for practicality.

If I remember well, Plushfire/Flame Mascot isn't banned in OCG. And in TCG, Luster Pendulum, the Dracoslayer is to be Limited.

 

I could lower their Scales and make Winda's effect activate when it's destroyed by battle instead.

You posted in advanced cards. By posting in this section, you are expected to understand flavor. It doesn't matter that you're not making them for flavor, it's a complete failure in design to make such poor flavor.

 

Practicality in design does not defend ignoring flavor.

 

Plushfire is banned in the OCG. Luster being limited doesn't change that it still makes Performapal a stupidly strong deck. Not to mention synergy with Pendulum Sorcerer/Wavering Eyes, which are NOT limited.

 

Just make it when it's destroyed in a monster card zone and hard OPT. Battle is weak.

Edit the effect of "Evilswarm Scathach".

 

Also: Could you recommend me where I could find art for said archetype?
