[Written] Dark Sacrifice Beast of Uria

[Dokutah]

Dark Sacrifice Beast of Uria

DARK / Level 1 / Fiend / Effect

To Special Summon “Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder”, “Raviel, Lord of Phantasms”, or “Uria, Lord of Searing Flames” using its own procedure, you can either Tribute or send this card you control to the GY (whichever listed on procedure) instead of 1 of the cards listed in the procedure (or any combination of both), and if you do, that monster gains the following effect.

● You can activate the effects of Level 10 or higher monsters you control as Quick Effect. While you control this card, your opponent must Set Spell/Trap Card(s) before activating them. Also whenever your opponent Set a card(s), he/she cannot activate those card or its effects until their next turn after Setting them.

ATK 0 / DEF 0

 

Finally a original post from me after so long. And we gonna do it with a bang by making 1 of my favorite god card (or demons if you want to be technical ) slightly usable in modern setting. Now your Uria will help fellow gods to react faster (even possibly activate their effect "twice", one each turn) while perform soft lock on the backrow ala stronger version of anti-spell fragrance to be abused by its exceptional backrow removal effect

Allow me to point out a few small mistakes in the card grammar

But yeah, this monster is rather impressive, and a much needed support for the Lords. I have a question though. Maybe I'm not understanding it well, but in the part that says that Uria can be used as cost instead of the cards listed on the procedure (or any combination of both), does it mean that Uria can be used as the full cost instead of the 3 Monster/Spell/Trap needed? Since you mention a combination can be made, I'm assuming you can have Uria take whichever value from 1-3 so you send the other originally needed cards to the GY in case the value is 1-2. I'm not sure in the case of Spell/Traps why would you send valuable resources to the GY if you can avoid it, but I guess it must have its niche (my knowledge of archetypes is a kinda limited, so I might be overlooking something obvious here).

Oh, by the way, I'm pretty sure you already know of the upcoming Raviel, Lord of Phantasms - Shimmering Scraper, but I was wondering if you'd like to add it to Uria's effect.

Well i did deliberately change the original anti-spell fragrance by breaking it into 2 seperate effect being the set part and the set locking part. Which meant to stop things that can bypass it like cards that set for its effect but allowing the set card to be activated immediately. So technically this part is not mistake although its quite understandable if its confusing (i tend to do that a lot, pushing obscure irl wording even the ones before PSCT to create unique effects). That being said i still owe you to find the rest of the mistakes 

as for your question, while this card cannot replace the summoning cost entirely you can use the number of sacrifice beast to cut down the number of the cost (Example: you can summon uria by also sending 1 sacrifice beast and 2 face-up traps which is the original cost. you can also keep discount the original cost using more beast and finally you can use 3 beast as full uria's cost). The wording its quite complex but it already exist in several cards including the irl new sacred beast support on the new structure deck. You can check for Hyper Blaze on our Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG/OCG Card Discussion section

i dont really like new raviel and that card is more meant to be use as hand trap. So if i add more Sacrifice beast in the future, it will support original Raviel instead

Mmm, I see, good thinking. Yeah, I tend to forget about the overall picture and think only of the card and immediate effects, not its possible interactions with the meta.

I went to see this Hyper Blaze you mentioned to understand the substitute effect better. I still think there's something off. Your wording right now is

you can either Tribute or send this card you control to the GY (whichever listed on procedure) instead of the cards listed on the procedure (or any combination of both)

I feel that, with this wording, its arguable to think of Uria as a possible substitute of all the cards needed for the cost, since it says instead of the cards listed. Maybe by using a wording such as instead of 1 of the cards listed in the procedure, it becomes clearer.

Also, looking at Hyper Blaze made me think again that it could be useful to have the circled numbers in TCG, as we could save a lot of space by only mentioning the effect number for limitations/conditions and the sort. Do you agree with this? I wanted to ask you since you're rather experienced in creating complex/innovative effects, which offen require long wordings to avoid controversies.

I agree with this, i will consider it when i change the card

It can save space and provide slight intuitive reading, but to say it will save "a lot of space" is a bit of stretch. It will only save like 1-2 4 letter word of space IMO. We just can't beat OCG's Moonrunes efficiency that enabled effect numbering lol
