original art: Scythe Wielder

[cultra]

hello! im new here

i just recently got back into yugioh and when i was younger i loved making cards, seeing as how there is a generator now and that i can actually make some art now i decided to give it a go!

i would love to hear your opinion. is the card is maybe to overpowered? or would it actually be playable?

here it is:

The image you used seems to be gone, it would be great if you restored it. I guess, however, that you want to show the card you also have as avatar. Although I wasn't able to read the whole effect properly, I'll try to provide a little feedback. First of all, the cards seems to have quite high ATK and DEF for the level in addition to powerful effects and little drawbacks. I'm not sure what the ATK and DEF for the additional Summon are, but if they resemble Astraea's stats, that gives the card another really powerful effect, for it can simply get a total of 3 copies of itself on the field for free and thus banish (=remove from play) 3 cards.

By the way, that's the effect how I read it:

 

When this card is special or normal Summoned: Remove from play 1 card on the field, then you can Special Summon ? monster with 1?00 ATK and 2?00 DEF from your deck in attack of Defense Position. As long as this card remains face-up on the field: Pendulum summoning and spells on either players side of the field are negated.

Anyway, when one posts a card with an image here, they usually post the effect written-out underneath so it's easier to read for people seeing it on mobile devices (or something like that…)

 

To improve the card, I would propably a) make its level higher, b) connect the summoning and/or the effects with costs and c) do something against the self-cloning issue (if it exists).

 

I'm no expert on OCG ("official card grammar" or something like that), but I would write the effect in its current form like that:

 

When this card is Normal or Special Summoned: Banish 1 card on the field, and if you do, you can Special Summon ? monster with 1?00 ATK and 2?00 DEF from your deck¹. As long as this card remains face-up on the field: Neither player can Pendulum Summon or activate Spell cards. 

¹You don't have to include the battle position: When no information about it is given at a Special Summon, it automatically allows face-up attack and defense position.

If I remember correctly, it was a Level 4 monster with 19/22 stats and the listed effect. (I saw the pic here yesterday, but either Imgur got stupid and deleted it, or something else)

 

When this card is Normal or Special Summoned: Banish 1 card on the field, and if you do, you can Special Summon 1 monster with 1900 ATK and 2200 DEF (from your Deck). Neither player can Pendulum Summon or activate Spell Cards.

 

But yeah, this thing is a literal walking floodgate and certainly would be put on the banlist without much hesitation. One, it's non-targeting removal that banishes, then clones itself to do whatever. Next, it shuts off a sizable portion of the game by existing (cya ARC-V decks and pretty much everything that isn't Superheavy Samurai or monster mash). Generic floodgates like this are bad design; yes, it can be removed via Traps, monster effects or just run over in battle (or you can Kaiju this card), but otherwise, you need to fix this.

 

Make the SS a hard OPT / negate the effect of the monster it summons AND remove the floodgate effects.
