Effect: When this card is used in a Synchro Summon, draw 2 cards.

 

So yeah, random card. I wanted to try and do a monster without a level and see how it could work, this is the result. I see it working well with Deep Sea Diva for a formula synchron. Pretty simple card. Opinions?

Because of gameplay implications, only two monsters who are Level 0 are Ultimaya / Bishilbaalkin (both of which have a clause that always treats them as Level 12). So yeah, Level/Rank 0 stuff should be reserved for the Extra Deck. Nothing wrong with other cards, but it's basically game mechanics.

 

Otherwise, it's basically a stronger version of Tuningware that can work with any Tuner monsters you want. I can see the intent you had with Diva and some other Decks, but just don't think it'd work given the mechanics. It's a nice idea though, however I am iffy about this netting 2 cards when you draw; change it to 1. You could just give it a clause that treats it as a Level 1 or something, but then it'd screw up the interaction you wanted with this card.

Thanks for the review Sakura. Although I figured that was the case, I read up on it a bit and didn't see anywhere were it said there couldn't be an average level 0 monster. Maybe the draw 2 is a bit high, though it is pretty gimmicky. Making it treated as 1 would ruin the effect I was going for, though I suppose I could make it level 1 with the effect that its level is treated as 0. I just worry it would become a rather inferior tuningware if it was draw 1.

oy vey.

 

Since it's level 0, you can use Diva to summon it, make formula, and literally +2 (formula + this is 3 draws). I suppose you can't do much with just Formula, but there's also T.G. Striker + Marauding Captain/Goblindbergh + T.G. Warwolf + Hat Tricker to continue plays afterward, or if you can get something in the Graveyard with foolish or another card then there's Zephyros, Glow-Up Bulb, Plague, and Quilbolt.

 

Not to mention we've got Coral Dragon coming out soon, so if you can make that, then you'll end up with even more draws. Or, if you made T.G. Hyper Librarian first...there's a lot of potential behind this card despite only having a sentence-long effect. 

 

That's not really bad, it's just that it does a lot for one card. Considering it's already possible to make Quasar easily with Coral Dragon as it is, and we've got stuff like Brilliant Fusion and (if you're bad) Double Summon, boards of giant monsters are extremely common.

 

I think this card could be improved if it were level 1 and decreased another monster's level, and if you made it draw fewer cards, because as it is, you can potentially draw up to 4 cards (Librarian + Formula + This), which is almost another starting hand.
