Abaddon Hounds

[BatMed]

 

Effect:
When this card is Summoned: You can Special Summon up to 2 “Abaddon Hounds” from your hand, Deck and/or Graveyard. You cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck. During your opponent's Main Phase, you can discard 1 monster; immediately after this effect resolves, Tribute Summon 1 DARK Fiend-Type monster from your hand (this is a Quick Effect). A Fiend-Type monster that used this card as a Tribute be targeted or destroyed by your opponent's card effects. You can only use each effect of “Abaddon Hounds” once per turn.

I understand you're a new member, but this sort of comment isn't permitted under the Advanced Clause (or rather, you actually need to explain why you think it's cool while also factoring in design implications).

Hmm, looks like it was designed to make 2~3-Tribute bosses like Raviel and the Wicked gods more viable, but I'm just thinking of abusing Vanity's Fiend with this card xD

Maybe you should restrict it to only be usable as Tribute for the Tribute Summon of monsters that would require 2+ Tributes?

 

Also, I believe there is an inconsistency with the mechanics & the gained effect: if the tribute occurs after the effect resolves, then it's not possible to then apply the protection effect on the Tribute Summoned monster since, well, the effect is already over, so to speak. Instead, it should be more of a continuous effect, similar to Yang Zings, or rather Hardened Armed Dragon. I'm thinking something like this:

 

If you Tribute this card for a Tribute Summon after this effect resolved, the Tribute Summoned monster cannot be targeted or destroyed by your opponent's card effects.

UPDATED:

- It's Level 3 now (searched by scarm).

- The protection is now a continuous effect, which means it won't miss (Raviel can also gain the protection).
