Inverse Star Dust Dragon

[Harrison H]

So I was going through all the old cards I had made back when I was still active on this site. I decided to redo a load of cards (as my 12-year-old mind just wanted to make them as broken as possible). I feel like this card could do with a tiny bit more balancing but with the effect, I want to add I have no idea on the TCG Grammer for it (something about if it goes above X ATK, destroy it). But here it is, e Inverse Stardust Dragon:

[spoiler=Lore]1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
During either player's turn, when a card or effect is activated that would destroy a card(s) on the field: You can Tribute one card from your hand; negate the activation, and if you do, banish it. This card gains 500 ATK for each card banished this way.

Maybe an OPT clause in the effect? Otherwise you can keep negating destruction effects as long as you have cards in your hand, including protecting itself from effects that would attempt to negate and destroy it; although that would translate into a card advantage loss for you as well.

 

Other than that, I like this card for some reason. I know it's just a variant of Stardust, but I find appealing that in contrast to Stardust Tributing itself, this tributes another card instead, plus the ATK boost threats the opponent by becoming too big, but at the same time it starts with 2000/2500 stats so you may be inclined to Summon it in DEF to not risk it to be beaten up by battle; in other words it makes you think and evaluate your situation and risks, and to me that makes the card bit fun in a way.

Thanks. I was planning on putting the effect of Stardust in and just changing destroy to banish. Yeah an OPT Clause would help otherwise in standard circumstances you could play it's effect 8 times a turn; resulting in a bonus 4000 ATK. The whole 2000/2500 was it make Inverse Stardust exactly that. An inverse of Stardust!
