Chaos Messenger

LORE:You can banish 1 LIGHT or DARK monster from your Graveyard; Special Summon this card from your hand. If Summoned this way: This card's original ATK becomes 0. This card gains 1 of the following effects based on the monster banished by this effect:
● LIGHT: This card can also be treated as a LIGHT Tuner monster.
● DARK: Once per turn: You can target 1 card on the field; banish until your next Standby Phase.

 

Basically, I intended to make a monster that can help make Rank 6 monsters (as there aren't a whole lot of cards or archetypes that can access them) or even an alternative ladder to Level 7 Synchro monsters. And I made it banish LIGHT or DARK monster from the Graveyard to Summon it, in keeping with the name Chaos Messenger, but the 0 ATK so it's not to harm the opponent otherwise.

I find it really bland, and kind of outclassed by "Chaos Sorcerer", which has the same level and inherent summon condition, and comes with a sweet banishing removal effect.

Well, to be fair, this lacks Sorcerer's semi-nomi clause, and thus is more flexible with summoning effects. Still, you can definitely spice it up. I was thinking you could let it banish either 1 LIGHT or 1 DARK, and give it a different effect depending on what you banished for it. That way, not only you make it more practical to Summon, also helps with making it less bland, while retaining a "chaos" vibe.

Alright. For the LIGHT monster, I made it open up other forms of Summoning (doubling as a LIGHT monster for materials and a potential Tuner monster), and as for DARK, I made it to be more against the opponent as opposed to promoting Summons.

I believe the text should read "…Original ATK becomes 0, also, this card gains the following effect(s) based on the Monster Banished by this effect:"

The reason I added the (s) is because there are bound to be Monsters on here that are treated as both LIGHT and DARK Attribute at the same time.

Overall, a fun looking card. I like the Synchro setup should you Banish a LIGHT Monster, and it being kind of a second Chaos Sorcerer for the DARK Banish is cool, but you did forget to say "Banish it until…" instead skipping the it.

Please keep in mind that under the Advanced Clause, you actually need to be more specific in critiquing. If it's a good card, then point out the things the user did well.

I like this card but at the same time, I fell as if it's slightly broken.

 

The returning to the field with 0 ATK does balance it and that the banish is until the next standby phase. The only thing I would say is that it's what I call a "looping monster" (means it can keep on coming back). Personally but this is just a suggestion, add some along of the "if this card is used for a synchro summon; Banish it.

 

This card in with its current effect would work really well if it was in a Blackwing Deck (no longer the meta, I get it!) but the main problem stopping it, in this case, is it's high levelled. If it was slightly lower levelled (maybe around 3-4 or so) it would work extremely well in a Blackwing Deck, but maybe have it sent up so that it's effect can only come into play if it was special summoned from the graveyard.

 

PS: I love the art for this card!!!
