Field Spell Card

Lore: While there are 3 or more monsters on the field with the same DEF, Attribute, or name, those monsters cannot be targeted for attacks while you control another monster, also your opponent cannot target other monsters on the field with card effects. Each turn, monsters cannot be added from the Deck or GY to the hand by card effects, except monsters with the same ATK, Level, or Type as a monster Summoned that turn.

This time..., well, Charlton Heston's gonna have conniptions all over again, I'd reckon. Wherever he is.

The substance that inspired this card's name is a well-known and infamous commodity in the movie Soylent Green. Having brought new and chilling meaning to the phrase "you are what you eat", however, is but one level of horror; another can be elaborated on by a potential answer to the phrase "what's eating you?" 

In this case, the attempts to replenish those dying plankton and ocean beds ends up infecting the soylent, causing the food substitute itself to make new life - out of the rapidly drained bodies of those that consume it. This genus of sentient soylent, in fact, reproduces from cannibalized blood cells and vessels.

And unlike Green, 'Soylent Red', despite Soylent Food Corporation's attempt to destroy it, is far harder to discover...and far grislier to handle, as the very things made to sustain humanity's excesses are now supplanting them for its own propagation.

But as a Field Spell, well....copies of cards with equal DEF means you've got a new version of protection for those saucy Infernoids, Goukis, mono-Attribute Decks, basically anything that values proper strength in numbers.

Also, it can halt addition effects that keep dipping into disparate engines, so GOOD LUCK DANGER! IT WAS GREAT KNOWING YOU. Seriously though, the Field Spell takes three types of monster stats, effectively puts in two types of locks around them and calls it a day. It's some disgusting anatomical
