[Single] Mirror Hawk

[Donsheo]

Mirror Hawk
Monster/Effect
Winged Beast
WIND, Level 1
ATK 2400
DEF 2400
Eff: Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must first be Special Summoned by Special Summoning 1 "Mirror Hawk Token" (Winged Beast-Type/DARK/Level 1/ATK 2400/DEF 2400) to your opponent's side of the field in face-up Attack Position. Control of that token cannot switch. If you Special Summon this monster, you cannot Normal Summon or Set a monster during the same turn.


Something I had in my mind. Nothing special, but still something new. Maybe a deck could be built around it with cards like Mystic Piper or A Dog's Chance.

Um, I'm slightly baffled

Level 1 with 2400 ATK? Are you sure?

Yeah it gives your opponent an identical monster but... eh?

[Donsheo]

What's your problem? The low level, or that it's a Level 1 monster with a really high attack compared to other Level 1 monsters?

I could make it to a Level 4 monster, but it wouldn't be that special. With being Level 1, it has more support cards and you can even try to base a Deck around it. As a Level 4 monster, you couldn't do the same.

Problem?

2400 is a lot of attack even for a level four.

Barbaros is a 3000 beater companied with Skill Drain. And the Malefic Brigade is just a killer with this card.

How about changing the effect to this? :

"Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must first be Special Summoned by Special Summoning 1 "Mirror Hawk Token" (Winged Beast-Type/DARK/Level 1/ATK 2400/DEF 2400) to your opponent's side of the field in face-up Attack Position. Control of that token cannot switch. If you Special Summon this monster, you cannot Normal Summon or Set a monster during the same turn."

That sounds good and with the ss token summoning required it makes him balanced. If you're opponent's Monster Card Zone is filled up you can't summon him unlike Barbaros who is a 3000 whenever with skill drain.

[Donsheo]

Thanks for the response. In this case, I change the effect to the modified one. (I also think it's more balanced.)

I can't think of any way to abuse this, but it's only from lack of trying. It is an instantly Special Summonable 2400 monster, after all.

Hey, how about Opti-Camoflauge Armor? Though I guess you'd have to get its ATK up to OTK.

Overall, an interesting card.

[Donsheo]

I know a card or two which can abuse this pretty well, that's why I wrote "control of this card cannot switch" to the lore.
