Rate/hate/whatever turns you on.

Make it a level 5 with 2000 atk to make it more balanced.

for the above in bold^

how do you summon these tokens?

or did you mean counters?

[Sander]

I meant Counters >.<"

 

Eh, thanks for pointing that out.

Being a 3* Tuner that's "for" Crystal Beasts is cute and all, but I think that if the aim was to make a Tuner who supports Crystal Beast Synchroing, it could stand to have not so many "please keep me on the field so I can do cool things" effects, alongside a "well this happens then I die too bad I'm a tuner :P"

 

The Special Summon condition is kind of wacky, I would much rather Normal Summon her than give up 3 Crystal Beasts in the backrow. I usually want to have 3 there for my Rainbow Ruins' negation effect, my numeric requirement to activate Crystal Beacon or Rare Value, or my satisfaction from being 1 backrow Crystal away from activating Abundance. The only time I consider getting rid of 3 backrow Crystal Beasts is when I want Hamon storming the frontlines. And he's a helluva lot bigger than this.

 

The Rainbow Shard Counter thing is interesting, but the only problem I see with it is the necessity for this.. really weak card to stay alive for a while, unless you have big plans of suiciding a bunch of Crystal Beasts into something for the sole purpose of destroying 1 card. This is a possible situation, of course, with Crystal Beasts not being able to take down anything with 2100 ATK or more. This can help that, but without a lot of Crystal Beasts set up to battle (especially if you just Graveyard'd 3 of them to Special Summon this) you have to go through a few turns with her staying alive.

 

Getting 6 of them destroyed to Special Summon up to 3 from your Graveyard seems really asinine. I think that could be lowered to 4, considering that on average she'd need to live for 2 or 3 turns minimum for you to manage destroying 6 of them through some means that wouldn't get this card destroyed as well. And nine times out of ten, putting them in the backrow > putting them in the frontrow, the only exceptions being Pegasus and Carbuncle when you have a backrow set up.

 

I'll be honest, I don't like this. The Tuner + Crystal Beast thing made me all giddy, then I read the effect and dismissed it all. I now see a 3* Tuner that vaguely mentions doing things with Crystal Beasts.

 

So, in short, very underpowered for the theme it attempts to support. As a Crystal Beast user, I am obligated to explain this underpowering in detail.

 

 

5/10.

A little Under Powered, and how do you send three crystal beast monster from you spell and trap card zone to the Graveyard? It is pretty good though. 7/10

[TrickyPooBoy]

10/10. Pure awesomeness.

[Shiranui]

Not really sure how useful this is.

 

Still, it's interesting enough to perk my interest.

 

7/10

I know, other people have corrected OCG, but I'll do it anyway...

maybe making him Level 5, changing the ATK to around 2000, only sending 2 of the backfield cristal beasts, and getting the ability to recover one when used as synchro material instead of waiting for counters. that would be awesome,, and I don't think a change as big as this one I'm suggesting would put crystal beasts as a top tier deck...... so.. yeah, its underpowered, sorry to say this. but I agree with Skyson.

 

also, that way (my suggestions) it could be a good material for Level 8 crystal beast synchros you could create in the future... sinse most crystal beasts are Level 3... if you think its overpowered like that, you may want to add "This card can only be used for the Synchro Summon or a "Crystal Beast" Synchro Monster." :)
