Celestial100 Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 There are some effects that are pretty underpowered and a card that only does that effect never sees play. But can added versatility help that? Would a card that gives a lot of options, all of which individually are not that good become viable due to having lots of options? Mage of all Trades Quick-Play Spell Activate one of the follow effects: 1: Increase your life points by 500 2: Inflict 500 damage to your opponent 3: Change the battle position of one monster on the field 4: Banish up to 3 cards from either player's GY 5: Pick up and see 1 set card on your opponent's side of the field before returning it to it's original position. I purposefully picked some pretty weak effects, but the general concept can be modified to buff some of them if they are still overall too weak. Edit: Made a typo. Switched Defense to Inflict.

Sorry, it was a typo. I was trying to write quickly because I got a sudden call and yeah. It should be inflict damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokutah Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 While your claim that these are weak effects, and for the most part its true, the banish effect is powercrept D.D Crow which is a still solid sideboard option thus with that in mind this card banish effect are potentially not as healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe make it so you can only use that effect on your own turn so you can't use it as a quickeffect or replace with another fairly weak effect?

Dokutah Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 Hmmm, there many ways to do it it can be confusing to decide one lol Maybe make the banish temporary or it only banish 1 card from opponent gy (so you must banish 2 from your own) idk. Theres so many ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That banish effect is prettty much a nerfed Soul Release. But given this is a Quick-Play, the only thing that can stop it is either another Quick-Play Spell, Counter Trap or something that has a negation effect. So yeah, that "Banish 3" is pretty strong and will likely be the most commonly used effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlPachninko Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 A bit weak. Maybe it'll be a side deck card the effects might be a bit too weak. Here's my attempt to create a trap version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
