Field Spell card

Name:"Frozen continent, Antarctica"

Water aqua-type monsters you control gain 500 ATK and 800 DEF. You can normal summon a "penguin" monster in addition to your normal summon, also you can nirmal summon level 5 WATER aqua-type monsters with 1800 or less ATK without tributing. Once per turn, during either player's turn, you can change all "penguin" monsters on the field to either face-up attack position or face-down defense position(you choose which monsters change to each), and if you do, pay 100 LP per monster that had its battle position changed by this effect, then draw 1 card if you payed 200 or more LP for this effect.

WATER Aqua monsters you control gain 500 ATK and 800 DEF. You can Normal Summon "Penguin" Monster in addition to your Normal Summon/set. Also you can Normal Summon level 5 WATER Aqua monster with 1800 or less ATK without tributing. Once per turn (Quick Effect): You can change battle position of each "Penguin" Monsters you control to either face-up attack position OR face-down defense position respectively (you must apply this effect to all "Penguin" you control) And if you do, You lose 100 LP for each monster(s) whose its battle position changed by this effect. Additionally, draw 1 card if you lose 200 or more LP by this effect.

While the ATK boost is not really pushing penguins as damage dealer. The rest of the card is really good. Double normal, and Tribute Discount, and a really potent flip-flop effects. I would say this can be way too much in fact because Penguins at its core is not bad. Double bounce (with banish with Nopenguin) is still painful for any board state we have today and this making it quick effect probs just too much

 

Double Normal can also be a problem since its unrestricted to Penguin but also usable in Frogs for possible extentsive plays

It was correct without the Quick Effect clause, actually.

 

WATER Aqua monsters you control gain 500 ATK and 800 DEF. You can Normal Summon 1 "Penguin" monster in addition to your Normal Summon/set. You can Normal Summon Level 5 WATER Aqua monsters with 1800 or less ATK without Tributing. Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can change the battle position of all "Penguin" Monsters you control to either face-up Attack Position OR face-down Defense Position, and if you do, you lose 100 LP for each monster whose battle position was changed by this effect, then, draw 1 card if you lost 200 or more LP by this effect.

 

 

Fixes aside:

I get that Penguins are more of a casual archetype and would appreciate support become a bit more relevant, but a card like this is pushing it too far, IMO. I mean, you effectively have 4 effects there, including a spell speed 2 one. That's just too much for a single card. Not to mention the Field Spell support it gets. Looks like you are being greedy with it. Really, taking 1 of those effects may do the trick. I suggest a restriction to the Double Summon too, like a "(You can only gain this effect once per turn.)" clause to keep the effect safe and fair.
