Proper Gladiator Beast Support

[bryan kame]

I think if these card existed in yu-gi-oh Glads would matter once again.

Gladiator Beast Cestus
Earth, Rank 4, XYZ, Beast-Warrior
2300/2000
2 level 4 "Gladiator Beast" monsters
During either players turn, You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card. During this turn this face-up card cannot be destroyed by battle or by card effects. At the end of the Battle Phase, if this card attacked or was attacked, you can return this card to the Extra Deck to Special Summon an equal number of "Gladiator Beast" monsters from your Deck as Xyz materials that were attached to this card, except "Gladiator Beast Darius"


Gladiator Beast Venator
Fire, Level 4, Effect, Dinosaur
1900/1000

If this card was Special Summoned by the effect of a "Gladiator Beast" monster, Special Summon 1 "Gladiator Beast Venator" from your hand or Deck. At the end of the Battle Phase, if this card attacked or was attacked: You can shuffle it into the Deck; Special Summon 1 "Gladiator Beast" monster from your Deck, except "Gladiator Beast Venator".

I'll assume that you copy-pasted the typical GB effect, because I don't see why Cestus wouldn't let you summon Darius, unless you're keeping his ability in mind, although that seems counterintuitive because I thought Gladiator Beasts are all about swarming the field. Fortunately, you seemed to have remember that with Venator.

Venator's effect... I'm not sure if it's intentional but you can use him to instantly summon two more of him since when you summon a copy of him, that copy is summoned by a gladiator beast. Actually, that combined with Cestus is pretty neat!

[color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]Venator's effect was Unintentional but it works better because my original idea was for Glads to have a Laggia option but now it is inadvertently gives you Laggia and keeps Chariot live so win for a mistake.[/background][/size][/font][/color]
