(This card is NOT treated as a Trap). You can only use each effect of "Threshold Titan" once per turn.

 

 

Yeah, no rhymes, no overly done pumping up or putting down of the BlaDeS of Change, none of that. Four cards, four sources of power for the brothers Paradox, four ways to bring the pain in new ways. They speak louder than I ever could anyways.

 

I'll be silly again tomorrow.

 

Till that time comes, BDS, signing off.

Wallcrawling Shadow Ghoul... that is some spectacular artwork. It's kinda sad though that the Monster and the Field Spell don't really look like they're from the same Labyrinth (unless you're making multiple Field Spells to replicate Yami's mind shifting all the time, in which case that's a spectacular idea). As for the effect, not sure how Shadow Ghoul will work out with more support, but right now idk 

 

I would probably make Shadow Ghoul a Level 7 so the Field Spells effect will work out better (because unless you're making other level 5 monsters no one is running Labyrinth Wall unless there's a card that floats into it.)

 

As for the Gate Guardian, I'm a bit skeptical about the Summoning condition, which I think could be better. I would give the requirement but add "in addition to your Normal Summon/set" so it's a bit more plausible. Also "Must be Special Summoned" is a bit weird because it isn't a Nomi monster. However, that effect is pretty cool, being able to copy the 3 monster's effects but then being able to replace them over and over so the "you can only activate this effect once" bit is avoided.

 

The Trap is a bit weird, since it supports Shadow Ghoul but the Ghoul doesn't search it... It's a bit out there in it's effect, which is a pseudo-Trap Monster, a searcher, and card destruction. Not sure what the intended purpose of the card is.

 

I'm a bit happy and sad since I was thinking of Gate Guardian support more along the lines of what happened to XYZ - Dragon Cannon and Magnet Warriors, where they would get 3 new Main Deck monsters and a new boss, which would basically become retrains. I was thinking that the missing attributes would be filled for new cards, which would be FIRE, EARTH, and DARK (Which means probably along the lines of a Volcano Guardian of some sort), which could possibly be a Contact Fusion or Link monster (or just a Nomi if that's enough). However, the happy bit is that I can do that, so that's cool I guess.

 

Also you didn't retrain Riryoku, the coolest card ever that they used. Guess I'll also do that and put it in the archetype.
