Spirit Support Cards

[Max Darkness]

As it says in the title; three simple supporters.

Enjoy.

Could you explain "placing" first? I have never heard that terminology. I know that it's a way to bypass Spirit Monsters' Nomi/Semi-Nomi status, but how this works would help me rate them.

It's an older mechanic, so far used on only two cards, 'The First Sarcophagus' and 'Destiny Board' (check the first line of the effect)

'Placing' a card is literally that; putting on the field without summoning it or activating it (in the case of a Spell/Trap).

Oh, okay. Sounds like a really neat concept. Wait, wouldn't this allow for Xyz shenanigans too, since they're technically cards on the field? Maybe limit it to 1 card at once?

:/ It's basically Special Summoning, without Special Summoning.

Thanks for rating.

Remember, Xyz Materials are not treated as being on the field ([url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Xyz_Material"]http://yugioh.wikia....ki/Xyz_Material[/url]), so these can't do anything for them.

Pretty much.

Why would anyone think so in the first place :/

To be honest, there's not much to say. You just made a searcher, a Monster Reborn and a Call of the Haunted. But good cards.

[Northern Sage]

Would Just Desserts and Solar Ray work with this though? Either way, they're pretty interesting.

Just making the Spirit counterparts. Thanks for your thoughts.

Once the monsters are on the field, they're treated as if they got there through normal means.

all I really see for these 3 cards is a constant recycling effect for lv4 or lower spirits

Max, can you write an example as to how you intend to combo with this?

[b]Inari[/b] is a standard seacher-Deck thinner, so as long as you can keep the first one on the field, it can bring out another two 'Inari's followed by another Level 4 or lower Spirit, either keeping your Life Points safe, or providing tribute/Summon fodder.

[b]Amano-Hashi[/b] is simply a Spirit 'Monster Reborn', so would be used in a similar way to that card. Reviving a destroyed trump or monster thrown from the Deck to the Graveyard, or to provide some fodder.

[b]Taka-No-Amahara[/b] is a Spirit 'Call of the Haunted'. You attack, opponent 'Mirror Force's it, activate this and you can attack again. Or again, general revival.
