I like how they are searchable by the GB tag mechanic.

Though, it'd help a ton if they could be placed on the scales when Summoned by the effect of a GB instead, if not in addition to.

 

Btw, are the scales so wide? I don't recall a GB going lower than Level 3 or higher than Level 6, at least from the Main Deck.

 

The Pendulum Effects are pretty sweet protection, but I think the other effects are a tad overboard. 1 card Fusions and unrestricted Summon from the deck? basically having both scales guarantees a free indestructible Gyzarus from the deck. It'd be a tad more fair if the contact Fusion had the materials used from elsewhere instead of downright reducing them. Something along the lines of Once per turn: You can use a Fusion Material from the hand or Extra Deck (face-up) for the Summon of a "GB" Fusion Monster. The other scale's effect, I think it is overkill. It should probably only be live when you have no monsters or something like that, as to recover from a wipe of some sort, but if you already have the advantage with a Gyzarus play, you can pretty much swarm all around with this free monster every turn. Heck you can even go Bestiary to contact Gyzarus into another Gyzarus for a 4 card pop without any extra investment.

 

The fact they are Pendulums I think already gives them something to fall back on if their Normal Summon is interrupted, which is already a great boost on its own.

So something like if they were special summoned by a GB they can be put in scales?

 

If this card is Special Summoned by the effect of a "Gladiator Beast"monster: You can place this card in your Pendulum Zone.

 

Should I add that in addition? (Monster Effect)

Augustus is lv 8 and they have a couple of level 3's 

 

I suppose I could make it 2 and 9 if you would like and bump Drac to lv3

I will add a must control no monster clause to the second scale, but the first one does require you to shuffle from the hand or grave, so either late game or a neg ceiling boost

Changed pendulum 2 from being a Grave/Deck toobox to a hand/grave toolbox instead
