Evigishki Ariel

[Froggageddon]

 

Level 2 WATER [Spellcaster / Ritual / Tuner]

You can Ritual Summon this card with any "Gishki" Ritual Spell Card. If this card is added from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand by a "Gishki" card effect: You can Special Summon this card from your hand. (This Special Summon is treated as a Ritual Summon.)

 

Gishki cards that can active this cards effect:
Gishki Abyss (When Summoned)

Gishki Aquamirror (By activating effect from the Graveyard)

Gishki Ariel (FLIP effect)

Gishki Chain (When Normal Summoned while being 1 of the 3 top cards of your Deck)

Gishki Diviner

Gishki Marker

Gishki Vision

Etc...

I've noticed you've been making Gishki support lately. I like it. :P

About the card, though, I feel like the fact that it's a Ritual Monster and a tuner isn't necessary, and that just being an effect tuner would be good enough. Its effect kind of reminds me of Kagetokage. It's nice for adding Synchro variety in the deck, but I just don't feel like it would see too much play, since there are other easier ways to summon Tuners (Junk Synchron, Plaguespreader Zombie, Quickdraw Synchron, etc.). The concept of the card is nice, though. And if you would want to change the effect, I honestly don't know what to change it to; maybe to something that shuffles cards into your opponents' deck? Still, though, I like it.

Maybe if there were some Gishki Synchro monsters that required a Ritual Tuner, this would be useful.

Yes. A lot of yes. Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes.

 

Time for a full-on review!

• Artwork: I really commend you on finding such a fitting picture for a card like this. Matches the Gishki artset perfectly, and is really quite appealing! Cudos!
• Effect: The one effect - Special Summoning the card when added to the hand by a Gishki effect - is actually phenomenal. And really, you thought this through well. There are a ton of ways to search monsters with Gishkis - in fact, that's the only reason that archetype actually works in a non-ritual meta. This goes into my next category
• Usefulness: I don't care what other people say. This card is REALLY useful as is. Foolish burial it, or just add it to your hand and discard it as Ritual tribute. Point is, get it to your Graveyard so Aquamirror can bring it "back to your hand" - loljk you're going to summon the card to your field :) . The level 6 Gishki's work easily with this, so bam! There you have it, Stardust or Scrap Dragon when necessary.
• Balance: The conditions themselves make up for this card's usefulness. And, thank god, it's not a once-per-turn sort of a thing so you can actually cycle it onto the field! Halleluiah! It leads to vicious cycles, but requires masterful setup to use. It's fairly balanced
• Lackings: Hmmm...Haru-Star Shadow mentioned that the card lacks a notable effect. Personally, I find the Special Summon to be extremely helpful, but still, something to really bring this card over-the-top may be necessary. After all, you'd probably want to use your Gishki effects to add more useful cards to your hands...Perhaps you could add a special effect on this card too that allows you to discard it to proc an effect? Perhaps: "You can discard this card to add 1 Gishki monster from your Graveyard to your hand." Now talk about an interesting loop there! Discard Ariel to add Ariel?

The aspects of the card you pointed out actually made my perspective change a ton. I take back what I said about it being outclassed by other Tuners, because I definitely forgot about Gishki Aquamirror's effect and how Evigishki Ariel's effect isn't once per turn, which means it's actually more playable than the previously mentioned Tuners. But like magemeek22 said, I don't think that the effect is enough; I really like the effect magemeek22 added, because it fits the whole Gishki Recycle theme and search engine. 
 

Now, I love the card even more; therefore, my heart is grieving harder, because it is not real.
