The Fifth Inpachi

[Phantom Roxas]

Karakuri Tank mdl 188 "Inpahachi"
EARTH
Machine / Effect
6 / 1900 / 2500
This card must attack if able. When this face-up Attack Position card is selected as an attack target, change it to Defense Position. This face-up card is also treated as a FIRE monster. Once per turn, you can switch the ATK and DEF of one face-up monster until the End Phase.


Now, I know little about how a Karakuri deck would work, but the theme naming was pretty much the only reason I did this. Plus Inpachi is one of the monsters that has a story, and I'd like to see more of it.

It's okay.

It's an interesting idea, but as someone who's played Karakuri a lot, it wouldn't actually see play IMO. They can usually put the opponent's in whatever position and a beater isn't that needed - not to mention a level 6 could be cloggy. Still, it's the sort of card that I wouldn't complain about seeing because I actually like cards with a story, although it doesn't feel like it has much of one without any art/flavour text. IMO, this could do with some text splashed under it regardless of not being a normal.

I like how it can be used with Bureido though.
