Who said LV monsters were gone?

[weryllium]

Okay, so my last attempt at showing my cards [font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif][b][color=#FF8C00]CRASHED[/color] [/b][/font]and [font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][b][color=#FF8C00]BURNED[/color][/b][/font],[s] crushing my self-esteem[/s]

Moving on...

It started with my little brother's sparks of creativity. He came up with the idea of a blob, a small little thing with a single tooth, that took little bites of things, called a [size=5][font=comic sans ms,cursive][b][color=#FFD700]CHUB[/color][/b][/font][/size]. And the more it ate, the bigger it grew and the more teeth it had. Also, it was some sort of gelatinous thing, so it just kept regenerating when destroyed. So I figured, I'll make it a LV monster and have it level up into it's next form every time it "eats" another monster. The smaller ones take bites and the bigger ones eat whole monsters, or even the whole field.

PLEASE don't give me the silent treatment this time. Even if you just post "YOU SUCK! NEVER POST ANOTHER CARD AGAIN!", I'd like to be able to think that I'm not being ignored. As always, any criticism, corrections, or comments are very much appreciated.

So yeah, there they are. Let me know what you think, if they're too strong, too weak, too unbalanced, too anything.

P.S. I plan on making artwork for these guys, depending on when I get a break and if you show any interest in 'em.

[R.Surraco]

Well... I guess they are a bit too strong, and given how easy are summon (A Special Summon From Deck is the easiest thing to get), it might give you a kinda unfair advantage. You might counter it by giving the most powerful effects a stronger drawback, like losing LP when you use them or something. The concept is good, but might need a slight tone down. As I say, make them harder to summon or make their strongest effects a kind of two edged sword.

[weryllium]

Fixed; since they need to "eat" I added a one-tribute-per-turn for LV10. And I changed it to from-hand-only, except for the smallest one.

[R.Surraco]

Now it seems more fair. I like them and I hope to see the artwork. Cool cards, man, indeed,

[Lord English]

Good cards, needs OCG fixes though.

I believe this is the correct OCG. Chub LV10 - The Insatiable is [i][u]very[/u][/i] OP'd.

[weryllium]

Thanks for the OCG fixes.

Ok, then, let's take LV10's battle immunity away, drop it's base ATK to 3000, and add a 1000 LP cost to use the feeding frenzy effect. Does that help? I'm still not so sure about the very last line. "Send a card"? That sounds to me like you can just dump a trap at the end of each turn to keep it alive.

[Time Psyduck]

In principle you could. If you want to limit it to other monsters, then it would be "Send 1 other monster you control to the Graveyard..."


The series as a whole seems rather OP'd. Perhaps limit the entire series to either battle or effect destruction immunity, rather than both. Note that Lv3 is unlikely to sit around very long anyway.

[weryllium]

1. Yeah, it's meant to be monsters only.

2. I think effect immunity would be better, because with the exception of LV3, they have ATK-increasing effects.

3. Lowered the stats a bit.

Thank you all!
