Science Soldier retrain

[ClemsContent]

I liked the artwork on this card when I was a kid. The flavour text says it has "state-of-the-art weaponry to face unknown creatures". Unknown creatures sounds like face-down monsters to me. So let's make that ray gun a bit more useful.

Name: State of the Art Science Soldier

Warrior/Effect

Attribute: DARK

Level: 3

Effect: Once per turn: You can send 1 "Science Soldier" from your hand or field to the GY, and if you do, you can Special Summon this card from your hand, and if you do that, the Special Summon of this card cannot be negated. Once per turn, if there is at least 1 "Science Soldier" in your GY: You can target all face-down monsters your opponent controls, and if you do banish them. If there are at least 2 "Science Soldier"(s) in your GY: Negate the activation and effect(s) of face-down cards on your opponent's field. If there are 3 "Science Soldier"(s) in your GY: Negate the effect(s) of card(s) in your opponent's hand and GY. Once per turn: You can banish up to 3 "Science Soldier"(s) from your GY, and if you do, increase the ATK of this card by 1200 x the number of "Science Soldier"(s) banished this turn, by the effect of this card, until the End Phase.

ATK/DEF: 800/800

I like this boi. In general, looks decently balanced as it requires specific fuel for it to work, more or less offsetting the power of the 1-2-3 Science Soldier in GY effects, which are preeety damn powerful each. It's rather scary how it can block your backrow and handtraps pretty easily, then once the opponent has gotten rid of it, can power up for up to a brutal 4400 ATK. I can see some play for this guy thanks to the help of Armageddon Knight and, y'know, Rescue Rabbit for hella good results. Thank goodness its own effect do not let it Special Summon from the GY xD. Being Warrior is just excellent as Reinforcements of the Army, Warrior Returning Alive and other stuff will always be there for you.
