Wow broken shiz. Target Rock Lizard and Cross Wing and you get out a 2500 ATK monster first turn with Cross Wing in graveyard. Oh how I wish this was real.

[-Lightray Daedalus-]

And you can do that same move 3 times...in a single Turn...LOLOTKs

[Welche the crab]

Good point. 3 of these makes you 3 3100 atk beaters that give 2000 damage when destroyed by card effect. NEEDS to be once per turn because it's pretty broke.

I'd say, to make it balanced, make the targets Lv 4 or lower.

... although, the only targets that have that criteria that could be summoned may not even be all that worth it.

[Welche the crab]

3 of these would still OTK with level 4 and lower ALMOST. but ya that's another good idea.

You can't target cards in the Deck; this would have to work kind of like Malefic World. The card itself is good and certainly less powerful than, say, Rekindling.

Tell me, where do you take this "You can't target cards in the Deck" from? There's no ruling like that out there, so enlighten me.

[/quote]You can't target cards in the deck because there's no way to know what's in the deck. You'd need to know specifically where each card is in the deck, which is cheating. Cards like Sangan, TGU, Tomato, Masked Dragon, Summoner Monk. They dont "target" cards in the Deck. It should just say: "Send 1 Phantom Beast Monster from your Deck to the Graveyard; Special Summon 1 Phantom Beast monster from your Deck."

K? Anyway, as far as balancing is concerned, you shouldn't be able to SS ANY monster, and there's no real cost, getting Cross-Wing or Rock-Lizard in the Grave is easy and makes this card broken. But that's already been said. I'd suggest that you should give it a better cost, like make you need to send a Phantom Beast from your hand as well, or something like that. Or your Other option is to SEVERELY limit the summoning capabilites of this monster, because SS from the Deck is really kinda unfair if it goes unrestricted.

My suggestion?
"Send 1 "Phantom Beast" monster from your Deck to the Graveyard; Special Summon 1 "Phantom Beast" monster from your hand."

The other option is to add a PB from the Deck, though if you want, you could just make it so that you have both the SS I suggested AND the adding ability, in order of course, so that you don't just SS it.

[Sander]

If I haven't added any limitations to this card, I'm not going to add then now. Phantom Beasts need better support, so I made this card. And don't give me the "But it's broken D:" routine. Sometimes, an under-supported archtype needs a card like this to become stronger. You know that it's true.

It's a thought we'd like to have, but the fact of the matter is is that you've made a card that automatically makes a 2500 ATK beater with a nasty effect and puts Chaos fodder in the Graveyard. You can't think of this card as a card only to be used in Phantom Beasts. This card would immediately be used in decks such as Plants and other Chaos-esque decks as an easy way to get a LIGHT and DARK on their way to the Graveyard.
