Glorious Engine of Malice

Ooh. A Whanilla. Cool.

 

Honestly? Best post in this thread.

 

And while I do promote a healthy discussion, this thread did break a major rule I loathe correcting. "No misleading titles that have nothing to do with the current cards inside". Meaning, this thread broke a rule because its card name is not inside and it is NOT a set, so generalization is not acceptable.

 

Grumpy, if I do not see you change your avatar in the next 12hrs, I will ban you.

 

As for this card, hardly broken/op'd/whatever you all want to call it. Since you require some kind of valid loop to make it add up, or still lose cards. With the machine requirement and very few loopable (or SS from the Graveable) machines out there that could fit in this cards requirements it's more of a Beatstick that still requires 2 tributes (1 in some cases). Hardly a problem.

How is this thread getting so popular? And why make it with no effect anyway?

 

I still think it's OP'd. If you lower it's ATK by about 300 it would be balanced.

it's not getting popular, it's just active.

 

I made it with no effect because I don't see many, as it was put "whanillas" around.

 

It's still balanced. You're just afraid of it's ATK. You aren't thinking about what deck it would be OPed in, what ways to use it in an OPed way, or the ways it can be countered. All you see is a "non-standard" ATK plastered below 6 stars and throw a fit in your head.

Summoned Skull is a Vanilla with no effects to protect it from Trap Cards or anything and it's Level 6. You can bet if they made it with ATK/DEF of 2850/1300 it would be Level 7.

 

This card has 2850/1300 ATK/DEF and is a Vanilla.

 

The point is it's ATK/DEF stats go beyond the limits of Level 6 monsters.

In your perception.

 

But really, what does that alone mean? Nothing.

 

Look outside the box, bro.

You're under the impression it can be summoned as rapidly as other Vanilla-like monsters in a turbo deck. This is not the case .-."... Even in some stupid Gale Dogra Variant.

I'm going to have to defend Jazin here: This is basically a monster that requires two semi-specific tributes. Imagine if this monster was a level 8 and had to be summoned by sacrificing two monsters that equaled its level, one of which had to be a machine? This is the eaxct same thing, except two levels lower.

You know what TwiggityTwang, you make a nice point. I do not want to argue anymore. And I've now realized it's pretty balanced.

 

I suppose I was not quite thinking out the box. And I after realizing this, I actually like it.

 

Though I still don't like Vanillas, this card has a good pic, name etc. 9.3/10

There we go, everyone hug.

Huzzar for helpfulness! *Hug*

Looks just fine. Considering that the 2600-2850 ATK block is pretty sparsely populated in my memory, it's basically Gaia Knight with a restriction and some more battle damage. Considering Machines aren't T1 and there are Decks that can happily throw around bigger beatsticks, I don't see this as a problem at all. Nice job giving Machines something to run over Scrap Archfiend and Goyo, I guess - Oh, and Scrap Dragon. Viable card.
