[Pendulum Effect]

Your opponent cannot negate your Pendulum Summon, or activate cards in response to your Pendulum Summon.

[Monster Effect]

If this card attacks, it is changed to Defense Position at the end of the Battle Phase, and its battle position cannot be changed until the End Phase of your next turn. Once per turn, during your opponent's turn: You can target 1 face-up monster you control; change its battle position.

 

[spoiler=Design Notes]So as most of you if not some of you can tell I made this guy in respect to the existing Goblin archetype, more specifically, its Goblin Squad sub-archetype. At the same time though I wanted to give flavour to this particular squad and make him their 1st Pendulum monster which is also a real good generic scale for any deck that cares to about its Pendulum Summoning being unscathed. I also given him handy Monster effect  to nullify his Goblin Squad brethen's main weakness: their natural effect of going into their weak DEF after attacking.

 

 

[spoiler=Concept] I made this idea based on Paratrooper, of course, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paratrooper  though to apply that particular flavor, I made the Pendulum effect which would correlate with they idea of Paratroopers being deployed to land without getting killed.

 

[spoiler=Tip] This guy can be searched by Tenki, a great Beast-Warrior enabler. And it can be seen as good protection for one of the Majespecter archetypes main weakness: Solemns, Horns, etc. This could also be seen as an out to Counter Fairies for some decks.

I like the concept of your card. I think that those "Goblin" guys need to be expanded and a pendulum card could do the job very well. Maybe if you limited the pendulum effect to only Warrior-type and Beast-Warrior-type monsters then you could add a monster effect without worrying about it being imbalanced? I only suggest that because the other "Goblin... Squad" cards are all Warrior and Beast-Warrior types and I think it would be thematically appropriate to make this card similar.

Either way, I like the card - nice design and a reboot of a series that I like :)

Yea, what he said. However, I do believe that 1 of them are Fiend-Type. Besides that, the monster effect is really weak, since it really only has 1800 ATK, which falls short to most of the other "Goblin... Squad" monsters ATK. But thhe Pendulum effect is fine... on what he said. Warrior and Beast-Warrior should be fine with the effect, but in case if you're running the other 1, chane it to Fiend too.

 

EDIT: Actually, if you don't count just the Squad Goblins, there are actually a pretty good amount of Fiends.
