Really nice, good for decks that use equips, very nice. Just one thing, this is one AWESOME equip, but you can constantly bring it back. So maybe you can put a limitation to be unable to bring itself back to your hand.

People complain that Equips are too vulnerable to removal. I designed this one to allow itself to bring it back constantly, thus making it more usable and worth playing.

I can't believe I didn't realize that xD. Amazing equip then.

Card is broke, due to recycling and fueling OTKs. Change the last part to have a cost or something.

...*facedesk* Completly forgot about Gearfried OTK...any idea how to balance it?

[Blake]

Hm... I wanna say make it top of deck, but that would be dead draw-y as hell.

Maybe make it activate during the standby phase? IDK ._. There's a really thin line here.

You could try my idea of it not being able to bring back itself. Wasn't part of the reason Butterfly Dragon - Elma banned was the loops it could cause?

Returning to top of deck is pretty bad :/ But Standby Phase seems fine IMO

I always thought Sinister Serpent was underpowered and needed an extra card-destroying effect tacked on.

*Reads the card again*

... Klav, I meant if it was sent from the field, that you could return in the standby phase ._.

Sorry, it was like 4AM when I was fixing it :/ Fixed again

I want to say it seems a bit reckless, but then I realized it'd be the fault of the player to use this when the opponent has no cards to destroy.

Hmm... Equip spells are indeed very vulnerable, and some sort of consolation when they're removed would be very nice, but given how powerful this card is I'd say it's balanced without the recycling. As is it seems like it's overpowered, it's pretty much unaffected by its host getting destroyed and is overall reliable destruction, all on top of being completely generic.

...or I won't bother with broken combos and just make it indestructicable?
