Effect:

 

For 3 of your opponent's turns, this card gains 200 ATK and DEF during each of his/her Stanby Phases. If this effect is negated by a Spell or Trap Card, destroy this card immeadiatly, you must then discard 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard. If this card's effect is negated by another Monster Card effect, you can randomly discard 1 card from your opponent's hand to the Graveyard. At the end of your opponent's 3rd turn after this card was Summoned, you can Special Summon 1 level 4 or lower Dragon-Type monster from your Deck in face-up Attack Position.

"This card gains 200 ATK and DEF during each of your opponent's Standby Phases, for your opponent's next 3 Standby Phases." is how I think you want to word the first effect.

 

"...this card is immediately destroyed and you must discard 1 card from your hand" is how I believe the immediate-destruction effect would be worded. I don't know about it perfectly, but that's my guess.

 

The E in Monster Card Effect isn't capitalized.

 

"After 3 of your opponent's turns after this card is Summoned" is redundant. Try "At the end of your opponent's 3rd turn after this card was Summoned, you can..." instead.

 

OCG done, which I normally don't look at.

 

The effect itself is odd. It gains ATK during your opponent's turns, and after 3 turns of being face-up, should it last that long (as few things without built-in support will do) you get a free Level 3 or lower Dragon-Type summon to accompany him. The biggest thing I would pull [almost any time with these Dragon supports] is Masked Dragon. I'd also be inclined to pull out Decoy Dragon, since he could pull up another copy of this card to re-use its turn effect.

 

The negation part is oddly worded, but I can't say I know of any cards that "have an effect when they're negated." Negated by Skill Drain, you have to discard 1 card. Negated by Destiny Hero - Plasma, your opponent has to discard 1 card. Those aren't the only cards, obviously, but those came to my mind first.

 

I like the unique idea of forcing a discard upon negation, and the Special Summon effect is decent, though having this out for 3 turns (in which it would have 3100 ATK, which is always respectable) would normally constitute something bigger. 3 turns is a lot, which a lot of people don't believe. 3 turns can mean the beginning and end of a duel in a lot of metagame Decks' cases.

 

I like the idea of the card, but for some reason it feels kind of underpowered. Not very, and it really doesn't affect the rating, but I think it could get away with summoning a Level 4 or lower Dragon-Type. :/

 

 

8/10, good card.

hmm, if you increased the level limit of a dragon it summons, it wouldn't be so overpowered as to put it at 6, because,

 

Traditional format: its dead in 2 turns at most

Advanced: you will be tempted to attack with it and it will die from sakerestu or lightning vortex etc

 

and there aren't TOO many powerful lvl 6 dragons :D
