If this card is destroyed; You can Special Summon this card to your opponent's side of the field. During each of your Standby Phases; Return 1 random card from your hand to your Deck. If this card is not under the control of its owner; This card cannot attack or be used as an Xyz Material.

As per a condition I received, I made this. It was a challenge to make as it required me to research the correct wording. I may remove the Xyz Material restriction as I doubt its balance. Anyway, I'm CnC.

Actually, the way you have it worded seems rather wonky... I'd try this:

[b]If this card is destroyed; You can Special Summon this card to your opponent's side of the field. During each of your Standby Phases; Return 1 random card from your hand to your Deck. If this card is not under the control of its owner; This card cannot attack or be used as an Xyz Material.[/b]

This way is a little cleaner; the effect applies to its controller (which, hopefully, won't be you), thus it's the controller who must use the effect. Plus, your opponent can't try to attack directly with this if they clear the rest of your field.

Still, this card is susceptible to being used as Tribute/Synchro fodder.


Sorry if I hi-jacked your card there.

Thanks. I'm not accustomed to this type of effect, which added to the challenge. I may add a Synchros restriction to make it more annoying.

It's annoying yes but it seems like a waste of a slot. Because while you want the hand destruction bonus you really did just give your opponent a monster and since it seems like it would most likely be destroyed on your opponents turn. It sounds like it would just sit on you opponents field for your turn while you not attack it so it can get its effect off. Which then comes to your field and misses his effect once again.

Its balanced and everything I just feel its quite..frivolous.
