A Potential Fourth Egyptian God Card

[Jeremy Cox]

One thing I've noticed for a while is how the Egyptian God Cards each have a connection to three of the four basic elements; Slifer the Sky Dragon is Air (it's literally the Sky Dragon) , the Winged Dragon of Ra is Fire (Ra's the Sun God, plus the Phoenix form is mostly flame-like), and Obelisk, to a certain extent, is Earth (the only one of the three who doesn't have wings), but none of them are connected to the fourth element, Water. With that in mind, I made my own interpretation of what such a monster would be like;

 

Sobek the Serpent of the Nile

In Egyptian mythology, Sobek is the god connected to the Nile River (one of, if not the most important body of water in Egypt), commonly for the fertility brought by the river's annual floods. I was originally gonna name it after Tefnut, the goddess of moisture and water in general, but I figured Sobek fit better with the effect I had come up with, in which it will give all monsters on your side of the field a boost in power based on how many life points you've lost in the last three turns (so be sure to keep count), along with the other effect, where it can reflect any direct damage to the opponent (dealing half the original damage output) when sent to the Graveyard (these effects seemed OP enough to reflect how OP the actual God cards are, at least, in the anime/manga). I colored Sobek green because I think it fits well with the colors of the other God Cards; Slifer Red, Obelisk Blue, and Ra Gold/Yellow.

 

Please pardon the overly simple design and crude art style, I'm not much of a designer. Think of this as more of a rough concept of what a water-based Egyptian God card could be.
