Is Rejuvenation like a replacement Monster Reborn?

[Toffee.]

Why does Sequencer have a "once per duel" clause?
D-HEROs have absolutely no Banish-support, so you have to use outside help if you wish to use it's effect multiple times.

Also, I'm tempted to say Wasp is busted.
Mostly, shenanigans with that sword and other Inzektor cards.

[Sora1499]

Brio doesn't seem limited at all, because you can still throw away your hand and sack the field just like the old one. I'd make it "Once per turn: You can discard up to 2 cards; return an equal number of cards on your opponent's field to the hand. This card cannot declare an attack during a turn in which you activate this effect."

[/quote]What makes you think Sequencer is going to be used solely D-HEROs?

And I figured making Hornet a -1 was good enough. I mean, having to need extra cards in the combo to make it plus at all seemed fair.

[/quote]Brio no longer loops or reuses cards on your field that would break it.

It's a lot less of an issue than it was as a dragon.

[Sora1499]

Absolutely, but it still poses a similar problem that the old one did, in that it's generic and sacky. Being sacky isn't *horrible*, but it should have limitations, like the ones I've imposed. As it stands, this card still carries the old Brio's essence, and I'd hate to be up against it in a duel.

[Agro]

It's "essence" wasn't that much of a problem. Sure, the bounce was powerful, but it wasn't game-ending or too powerful to overcome easily.

The problem with it was that it could do it over and over and over in a turn while looping and reusing your continuous cards. This can't.

[guuu1234]

I'm conflicted with Freeze Frame. I understand that it's use is to stop your opponent from making that play, while still getting them that card, but what's the point if you can't attack them for that extra push? I understand that you don't ant to make this a "kick'em while they're down" card, but still . . . If you activate this , assuming it's only real use is during your turn before your opponent draws, it just puts the duel right back to where it was before. With your field full of whatever you have and your opponent with the same amount of cards they would have had in their hand as if Freeze Frame was never used. The rest are awesome, imo.

Checking up on Mayfly+Wasp +'ing

Mayfly
Banish a card to equip Wasp +0
Detach Wasp for effect -1
Effect Mayfly +0

So as far as I can tell, it'll be almost impossible to +10 off Mayfly and Dragonfly unless you're comboing, which is a lot more balanced than straight up smashing.

It needs to be "Geargiatractor", unless you don't want it to be part of the archetype. Also, in the text, you reference Geargiarmor.

Also, I feel like Hope is a little overkill in terms of its last line. It's written such that your opponent could play the Spell card at the same time that you do, and kill the Spell that you have yet to use. I think going to the deck is a sufficient cost, anyway.

[/quote]I've edited Geargitractor to be Geargiactor and edited Hope's last effect.

[AsianGuy1137]

I must say, these cards are really well-balanced re-designs. I think Magician of Hope is a little too weak. Doesn't really have many abusable targets that would require banishing all other copies that I can think of off the top of my head. The fact that the card it returns to top of deck becomes public knowledge should be enough. Geargiarmor's re-design is too neutered, it's pretty much unplayable at this point. The simple -100 DEF would be enough and with Rai-Oh being a popular card these days, Armor's not even that much of a threat. I like Sequencer, not as abusable as Commander but still very good for Destiny Hieratics. Reborn Kappa and the new Trishula are very playable and balanced, again great job. Rejuvenation though is questionable as it can essentially become 4 Premature Burials with Hidden Armory, assuming it's meant to be limited.

[Agro]

It's just the fear of adding a spell card from your Graveyard to your hand (top of the deck is close enough to call it the hand) that's keeping that restriction on.

Geargiactor is fine. You can choose to hate on it if you wish.

I may consider adding a "once per duel" restriction on Rejuvenation.
