To be fair, I'm not sure how Naturias are going to use this outside making Exterio and Galastrio, and that's only for dumping the required mats. Admittedly, it does make getting those two out easier [because new rules suck for them outside Radiant plays] and fuels Dragonfly's ATK boost and triggers Sacred Tree. Emperor definitely won't be in there, the other two targets have their own Decks and don't see Naturias running a side engine just for them.

 

I guess you could tech Naturia Tree in some other Decks, but that requires you to actually draw (or get 2 of them).

Nothing wrong with Shekhinaga, as you'll usually be running Naturia as opposed to Shaddoll. Same thing with Master Daimond and Gem-Knight. Goyo Emperor's a funny use, but not all that broken. Gaiastrio is 3200 ATK and negates, but not too powerful negation, so it gets a pass. Really, Exterio is the one that can be dangerous with this card, given how it can negate 2 out of 3 card Types and a much easier cost to pay.

 

This card is awesome in the fact that you can just cut to the chase and use your Barkion and Beast without needing to Synchro Summon. Especially in this gamestate. Not to say that it'd be impossible, but consumptuous on both time and resources. Card is great, even if potent. Besides, by default you'd need to be using Naturia monsters, so this wouldn't bleed as easily into othet Decks.

Not a fan of the card personally, mainly because it is such a blatant shortcut into Exterio, which, as mentioned above, can be quite overwhelming by locking 2 of the 3 card types. Then keep in mind that you can use Foolish Burial Goods to mill Sacred Tree, triggering the search to grab this card.

I would prefer if it was more splashable so potentially build some kind of Naturia Tree engine in Shaddolls, etc., in exchange of giving access to Exterio less easily.

Fair point... On my side, I'd at least like to say their are a lot more answers to Exterio ever since day of his wake (Kaiju, UTL, Graydle, etc.), Naturia play pretty passively the 1st few turns anyhow (which gets them killed in this day and age if your opponent doesn't brick), and this card usually is a -2... Unless (1) You send a Sacred Tree to GY for the cost which would make this a -1 instead. (2) s***! It got negated! -3... Time to fold.

 

But, that aside... How do you think I should improve it? I have one idea in mind where you can use material from your hand or field... But, have the option to use 1 monster from your Extra Deck as a Fusion material. What do you think? It minuses more... But, yeah... It makes Exterio less easy to cheese... Additionally if I do that I should probably remove the cost.

Wow. I really like this card. It's simple, but has some pretty good impact. It also helps some outdated decks like "roids" in getting out Barbaroid, E-Heros. etc.

It does help Naturias quite a bunch and it's not like it can summon any EARTH Fusion Monster because its materials must be from the Extra Deck.

Having other (and faster) decks run this means that they also have to run Naturias--which means, it would slow them down to an extent. 

 

At first, I was worried about the first turn Exterio and how it can make games one-sided. After reading responses, it's not so bad cheesing Exterio, considering Kaijus and so many other outs run amok.

 

I think it's fine the way it is. Just add a hard OPT and it should be good. As opposed to the comment above, I think it's fine for it to be geared more towards Naturias than being generic since the fact that you need to run Naturias of all things is already punishment enough. In fact, I don't think it's a bad idea to five this card a type of recycle effect where it can shuffle an amount of "Naturia" monsters from the GY to the Deck to add itself to the hand or draw a card.

tl;dr I think it's fine how potent it is because of how bad the Naturia archetype is and I think it has some room to become slightly more potent. Or I'm insane.
