🎭critiques are welcome🎭 Idea for a Time Wizard retrain as a main deck Level 12 boss monster that’s designed to maximize the Risk/Reward the OG card offers.

[But First He Lit It On Fire]

_Temporal Time Wizard_ (LIGHT)

Level 12

Spellcaster/Effect

_(Quick Effect) You can toss a coin and call it. If you call it right, your opponent must send all cards they control to their GY and take damage equal to the total ATK/DEF those cards had while they were on the field, then, they can Normal/Special Summon 1 monster from their hand or Deck who’s Total ATK/DEF is less than or equal to the damage taken. If you call it wrong, you must send all cards you control to your GY and take damage equal to the total ATK/DEF those cards had while they were on the field, then, you can Normal/Special Summon 1 monster from your hand or Deck who’s Total ATK/DEF is less than or equal to the damage taken. You can only use this effect of “Temporal Time Wizard” once per turn._

ATK/2400 DEF/2400

Basically, the idea would be to DRAMATICALLY magnify the original Time Wizard’s field wiping effect in how dangerous it could be for either player. The effect is is now a HOPT (Quick Effect), and it has it’s wipe effect play out similarly to “Destructive Daruma Karma Cannon“‘s own, meaning that even the most usually unbreakable boards would get swept away. On top of THAT, that person that gets their board wiped then takes damage equal the total ATK/DEF their cards (and I mean “cards” and not monsters, meaning that monsters in one’s Spell/Trap zones should also count towards the damage) had while they were last on the field, AND as a consolation prize, that player can then Normal or Special Summon 1 monster from their hand or Deck who’s total ATK/DEF is equal to or less than the damage they took. If this seems a tad overly strong, keep in mind that it all comes down to a coin toss that the “Temporal Time Wizard”’s controller has to call, so there’s a 50/50 that they’d be screwed over too (especially since this would mean the Time Wizard sends itself to the GY and hits it’s controller with it’s total ATK/DEF of 4800 as effect damage.)

THERE, I made an edit to the original’s effect where the ATK/DEF based damage is halved in comparison to the above. That would mean that there would have to be at least 16,000 ATK/DEF on either field for the attack to be able to one-shot either player right off the bat. Of course this also halves the card’s searching potential, but that search is useless anyway if the player that would get to use it is Yamcha posing in a crater, right?

This would single-handedly end way to many games. If it's used going second then it could OTK off of just 2 cards with a stat minimum of 2000/2000. If you miss, then you will only lose LP instead of losing the game. The summon effect is interesting, but if the card kills then it doesn't matter. I think that making it only deal damage equal to half of the combined stat total would make more sense.

Those are really good points. With a little balancing though, that would be broken.

THERE, made the edit to the card. The damage is now halved. Do you think this card would see real competitive play then, since the potential opponents summon or LP backlash could be so risky?

Frankly, I don't think that anything that involves a coin flip can see meta play without being insanely overpowered.

[But First He Lit It On Fire]

It’s a (Quick Effect) Karma Cannon-style board wipe that inflicts damage and can go into a Normal/Special Summon from the afflicted player’s hand or deck…

Is that not powerful enough unto itself?

I agree because without some serious broken effects whether or not you win the flip, the card becomes kinda useless in ranked play. I casual though, this would be a blast!
