Impersonating Parasite

Effect Monster

LV 3

Insect Earth

0/0

If a card would be added from your Deck to your hand while this card is in your Deck: Add this card to your hand instead

If this card is in your hand: You must Normal Summon this card if able

You can only use each effect of Impersonating Parasite once per turn

 

This, again, its a pretty simple, generic pack filler-esque card i've thought about long time ago. Its essentially a card that tries to give cards like Present Exchange or Gold Moon Coin actually decent targets to give to your opponent, by essentially making them waste resources on a vanilla. An example of decks that might be crippled by this card as an interaction would be Floo's, both by this card cutting their Normal Summon chain and this card c*ck blocking the Empen/Robina seaches, both fairly vital for the deck. It's not like there is a lack of Normal Summon reliant decks either, you'll always have decks like Invoked, Zoo, Striker (On hands without Hornet Drones) and the like to prey upon with this set up. Its still awful, dont get me wrong, a card that messes up your own searches and might f*ck you up if ya hard draw it by eating your NS, on top of requiring specific non-searchable cards to be useful (Exchange, Gold Moon Coin, Present Exchange, etc) is quite bad all around. Still, i hope this gimmicky mess is at least fun in theory to y'all

OMG a Drowsy card which doesn't have an explanation that looks like the Bible, heck yeah! Sooo, is this some cousin of Parasite Paracide? Let's see:

Umm... I think you meant Gift Exchange? Anywho, because I'm dumb I just keep laughing at the idea of running this card and getting it all the time in the first turn, nice Normal Summon, I end my turn lmao. Now, this is hella hard to use. As the effect compulsorily wants you to Summon the monster the very first moment you got a chance (in other words, you entering a Main Phase), that means that in order to make this work (using Exchange/Gift Exchange/GMC, etc) you gotta add this card t your hand once you have spent your regular Normal Summon so you can avoid smearing this guy into your own field. Dude, this is... difficult lol.

Honestly, as things stands, it's so problematic to use I'd go as far as suggesting a vital change in it.

f this card is in the owner of this card's opponent's hand....

So only your opponent gets screwed xD.

Graceful Tear time!

Also, I simply loved the tag "drowsy making dumb cards" LOL. I wish you'd post more of this in the Meloetta's Atelier T_T

Hey, leave me alone, walking through combos and synergies like that is kind of how i figure out how i should write cards, if ya were to see ReXyclers or Sleepy's (Pre being fixed by Sleepy, god bless them) ya would know that it is a very much integral part of the process, jesus christ do i have made incoherent messes of a deck when i didnt check for lines and stuff. But yeah, as of is, (Though your suggestion probably would fix it p easily) the card is kind of a pain in the ass to work with.

Dude, this is the most overcomplicated clause i've ever seen, i fucking love it that's just so funny. It took my non-native speaker brain 3 reads to figure out what was goin' on lol. That's, messy, but i guess it gets thee job done, huh. The main reason why i didnt consider doing something like that is that, since the first eff hijacks any search effect, ya could like, Normal Summon Aleister the Invoked, E-Hero Stratos, or any card like that, attempt to search a card, search this card instead, and then idk figure out what to do afterwards. That's kinda why i felt like making it that way, ya have a bunch of searchers that waste your NS so ya dont have to worry about that, ya can also maybe waste your NS on a handtrap, and in the end, this card is a pretty easy 1 of, so ya would get screwed up by hard drawwing it way less often, at least, in theory. Still, i probably should hand test the deck for a while to see if it ends up working that way, and have this in mind as a fix if it ends up being hella bricky (Which, to be honest, it probably will be)

To be fair, a great deal of the singles cards i make are just dumb packfiller nonsense, they do kinda deserve the tag ngl. I probably should check that up, thought it was just a different TCG lol
