[Striker] Kurogia, Guardian of the Forest


Recommended Posts

[center][center]I may have gone crazy when I created this card, but I was bored. This card gives a glimmering hope to anti-meta by preventing cards like Sangan and Tengu from using their effects when detached. Since this may be borderline, I'm open to suggestions and the such. And yes, it is a Level 5, but I'm willing to change that and the stats if the need comes.

[i]Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must first be Special Summoned by its effect. When your opponent detaches a Xyz Material: You can Special Summon this card (from your hand). As long as this card is face-up on the field: Xyz Materials cannot activate their effect(s) when detached.[/i]

Anyway, CnC?[/center][/center]

nice anti XYZ effect you got there

it's going to be really easy special summon later, definately rethink XYZ with this, I'll give you 9.5/10

I was waiting for you to pop up. I originally wanted the effect to prevent detaching all together, but quickly realized the problems that had. So, I went for a more subtle approach to the problem. Yes, it can easily be Special Summoned with 2 CoH and a Reborn this format. It also has Beast-Warrior support, mainly "Horn of the Phantom Beast". I'll wait and see if problems do show up.

@Lovely: That should be simple. 2200 sound good for a Level 5?

Remember this only works in TCG, but it's a good effect none the less. I would also bump up the ATK slightly to 2300, mainly because that means that the Attribute Field will take it to 2800, "Closed Forest" will get it to 2400 and more, and "Horn of the Phantom Beast" will make it 3100 ATK, which is a good amount for anti-meta.

Yet since I play the TCG, it works for me. 2300 might be an option, but anti-meta's best beater is Barbaros with 3k (if you bother Tributing 3 monsters or use effect negation cards on it). I did think about "Horn of the Phantom Beast" when I did this though.

Really nice card, I see how it'll cripple cards like Sangan and Tengu effectively. Thing is, this would only work in specific scenarios, but still a wide variety of them at that. It's fine, in my opinion. Good job.

Those two are the main problems in the TCG format. Revival and easy search, both adding to the effect from the Xyz Monster they were detached from.

[i][i]Wording/Grammar = 10/10[/i]
[i]Creativity = 8/20[/i]

The grammar and use of correct card grammar is flawless, so you get full marks. While the concept of the card itself is a fairly creative anti-meta concept, you didn't do much with it, hence your below average mark in that section. I would have hoped for a more interesting effect. It's pretty balanced, I'd say, but it could be leaning a bit over the overpowered line. And it's a very viable card, although its primary use would be in Anti-Meta builds it could work as a tech in many other decks.

Solid card, good work.
