Amon Vra'ah the Godslayer

EDIT: Originally this was a FIRE warrior / gemini, but i reworked the concept and i thought the penguins could use some love (and irony)

 

 

Flippy, the Penguin Godslayer

Lv3 WATER Aqua / Effect

1000 / 600

Effect: When this card battles an opponent's monster with a higher Level than this card, you can discard a card: Until the end of the Battle Phase, this card gains ATK equal to the Level of the opponent's monster x 200 points.

 

Watch out, mermails, there's a new water deck to contend with!

On a serious note, i think it's a fun card with a useful eff. Plus, like i said before, penguins need some love. Thoughts?

This card is treated as a Normal Monster while face-up on the field or in the Graveyard. While this card is face-up on the field, you can Normal Summon it to have it become an Effect Monster with this effect:

- When this card battles an opponent's monster with a higher Level than this card: Until the end of the Battle Phase, this card gains ATK equal to the Level of the opponent's monster x 100 points.

 

I'm assuming you know that most Decks nowadays play Xyz, so this card won't be able to do much against them.

Otherwise, the ATK boost is nice (though even with that, he still won't be able to deal with typical Level 6 and higher monsters w/out the aid of Equip cards or external effects); but you noted this point. 

 

But it's a nice card for dealing with high Levels (if it had more ATK to start with, then the effect would've helped it a bit more than it does now; however you wanted it to be searchable)

 

As for the images, you can use Google stuff (a lot of us do); though you should note where you found it.

Thanks for the feedback! Duly noted, i might change it up...

 

Actually, i will edit the original post. I just had a glorious idea.  :rolleyes:

The only Level this card would maintain a respectable ATK against is Level 4s - where you would discard a card to have it become an 1800 beater that does nothing else. Being 2k against Level 5, 2200 against Level 6, 2400 against Level 7, and 2600 against Level 8 is still not enough for this to beat over most Level 5+ monsters. And then you have to discard a card, which is pretty costly, just to make this card pretend that it is an 1800 vanilla - really, you can just run Alexandrite Dragon or Gene-Warped Werewolf and get better results for even less of a cost. If you are going to have a card that discards to beat over monsters, it needs to actually be able to do so. But right now, it just falls short in firepower to kill most high-Level threats with its discarding effect.

 

Plus, you said it was Penguin support, yet I don't see how exactly this helps them. At most, you can Summon two of these with The Great Emperor Penguin instead of Penguin Knight and then Xyz into some Rank 3 monster. It needs to be able to run over things with its effect. You have to discard something, and then there are Xyz Monsters (who don't have Levels) and effect removal for this card to deal with, it needs to do more for eating up a card in your hand.

 

You could raise the boost to 300 (1900 against Level 4s, 2200 against Level 5s, 2500 against Level 6s, 2800 against Level 7s, 3100 against Level 8s), and it would fare somewhat against any Level barring 5. Alternatively, you can boost the ATK to 1600 (2400, 2600, 2800, 3000, 3200 respectively). It will pretty much run over anything in battle, yet still dies to Xyzs and removal effects.

Yeah i think 300 is probably the best bet, i'm just really hesitant to make a 3 star that can take on a blue eyes :P plus you can use the cost to your advantage in certain situations, rage of the deep sea if that ever gets played (idk what kind of archetypes you can run with penguins). But yeah, it's pretty mediocre as is, so one of the following; 1. Raise the boost, like you said 2. Up the base attack, BUT i'm not sure if the attack should be 1500 or 1600 at that point, easily searched or not? And it should probably get level 4 at that point too, 2400 against other level 4s just seems downright vicious. So i dunno. Thoughts?

[Kitsuneko]

Discard cost is really really expensive...

 

Maybe banishing something from the Grave? Or a hefty LP cost of 1000~1500?

 

Or maybe change the condition to be only when this guy attacks and make it free?

 

The attack boost should be increased though, but 300 / level might be too powerful unless you toned down his attack (like say, 700~800 ATK). Would seem more Godslayer that way.

Flippy..... gonna slay some gods?...... I feel as though his usefulness is overshadowed by its hilariousness.

 

Id make it a level 2 for lols.
