Guest BGMCANN0N Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 OCG Name: Exorsister TCG Name: Banshee BanisherLIGHT✪✪✪ (Level 3)[spellcaster/Effect]ATK/ 1200 DEF/ 800During either player's turn, you can send this card from your hand to the GY and target 1 face-up card you control; it is unaffected by other card effects that activate in your opponent's hand or GY until the end of this turn. At the start of the Damage Step, if this card battles a Zombie or Fiend monster: Shuffle that opponent's monster into the Deck.

Darj Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 IDK if TCG, or even OCG, would approve of such name. Comes to my mind that an acceptable alternative would be a "Ghost Destroyer" or a monk like Kycoo, but that would ruin your wordplay.As for the effect... not too sure about. A full blanket on your board from GY effects seems a bit excessive to me. Maybe if it protected a single monster instead, as a GY version of a better Skill Prisoner in hand trap form.

Also, I'm not sure how good the effect is, wait... It stops hand traps, because ash, veiler, and ghost ogre affect cards on the field most of the time. Well, other than that, I can't think of anything. Most floating effects tend to affect the owner's field, and removal isn't really gonna activate in the hand very often. I can't think of one other thing this affects. The artifacts activate on the field, M Fortress maybe, but who plays gadgets these days... This effect looked really broken until I tried to list the things it stops. There aren't many. Maybe I'm just really bad at the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darj Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 It's more about the connotation to religion. At the very least TCG avoids that kind of references. They even censored the crosses from Monster Reborn and Call of the Haunted back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even censored the crosses from Monster Reborn and Call of the Haunted back then.Several core mechanics of yugioh such as tributing, summoning, and rituals have religious connotations, we see things from Egyptian, nordic, and japanese mythology everywhere, and there are several cards with goddess in their names (No gods for some reason), and the name exorsister doesn't really have nearly as many religious connotations as, say, Number 77: Seven Sins. I don't see this getting hit. That being said, they once censored a lighter, now known as morphtronic datatron, so I guess anything's possible.

Don't you think at some point the censorship is going to be a little more lenient on the TCG side? I mean how do you think they would alter the art and concept on Sistart? As for how my concept stands in relation to the name, I was thinking of some stylized Shinto Priestess with an onusa (wand with zig-zaggy cloth used to ward off evil spirits). I mean I don't recall TCG censoring anything pertaining to Shintoism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nyx Avatar Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 I think the card's fine.Protects your stuff against stuff that even Debunk can't negate. There's hand traps, stuff like Peropero Cerperus, but then there's stuff like Breakthrough Skill, which stuff like Solemn Strike or Debunk can't negate. So while many of your opponent's effects would activate on the field, you could side this for matches where players have more Graveyard or hand trap cards that want to touch your stuff. Plus it's a cute play on words (Exorcist + Sister). And yeah, if words like Sins, Priestess, and Blood can exist overseas, I don't see why a play on Exorcist can't either.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 As a whole, card is fine and least prevents you from getting D.D. Crow'd or something. I'm not too sure how much Yashiki Warashi is being used at the moment in light of its recentness (for lack of a better word), but this can technically stop this too (plus the rest of the 0/18 hand traps). The blanket protection is a lot, but given the minimal number of cards that trigger in those locations and do stuff (in terms of relevancy), shouldn't be busted.

I won't go further with this because discussions on religious tolerance and stuff goes to Debates; not here in CC. In terms of your idea of keeping it Shinto-based, you should be fine (even if something similar were to be released in TCG, unless some hardliner complains (in which case, KoA needs to decide its own tolerance limit based on the playerbase).

I'm not fully sure, but I don't think this would negate d.d. crow or yashuki warashi. It also shouldn't stop ghost reaper. I'm not fully sure, to be honest, I suck at the game.

That's correct, the effect only applies on cards on your field. Still, IMO it's too much. You are invalidating both GY and hand traps effects on your board for the entire turn. it's practically a "Designator from the Grave" on crack.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I think I misread it as also giving stuff in the GY protection too, so yeah, cards you control is only on the field. If it said "possession", then it'd affect the GY, banished stuff and so forth. So yeah, scratch whatever I said about Yashiki and Crow [plus Fuyu / Reaper]. Rest of it still stays though.

Additionally, I gave it a situational utility effect (mostly for flavor, but has some use). And came up with a TCG name for current, yet hypothetical TCG mindset in regards to sensitivity to religious subjects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
