TJDouglas13 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Lore: When this card is Special Summoned: You can add 1 Level 3 or lower Zombie-Type monster from your Graveyard to your hand. Once per turn: You can target 1 Zombie-Type monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it in face-up Attack Position. I haven't done a card in a while, so I came up with this Zombie dude.

Therrion Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Balance A Gigaplant for the Type that doesn't need Supervise/Gemini Summoning to get the effect of while also having additional effects if you manage to Special Summon it (which Zombies have a arsenal of ways to). The stats are overall too high for a Level 5. The Level 5 allows it to go into the new Xyz monster for Zombies, which is nice, and its DARK Attribute allows easier DAD plays. Searching 2 from Deck is blatantly broken. Overall, searching, having those stats, AND a Special Summoning ability that Summons in Attack Position is far too much for too little. Flavour I can see how a piper could draw the dead from the ground to abide to your will, if the tune is some magically, necronomiconish tune, I guess. The picture is fine, and you have a decent name/correct Attribute for the picture. Suggestions/Additional Comments -Reduce the stats (2300/1700 would be better for how this guy looks) -Exclude the shuffling of the Deck (pointless and out of place, just clogging the effect box) - Make the Deck search a recycle (add from Graveyard) instead, and make it only add 1 (searching 2 of anything from Deck is OP, especially for such an easy condition) The new DEF stat would allow Maestroke to clear it, which isn't too big of a deal and more of a balancing feature. Also, decreasing the DEF by that much would allow Pyramid Turtle to be able to Summon it while also justifying the somewhat high ATK stat (since having high ATK and DEF is intolerable at the same time). Recycling 1 would allow you to grab that PSZ/Pain Painter without forcing you to grab perhaps PSZ AND Beast of the Pharoah, which again, you would most likely prefer to have in Graveyard so you can Summon it when needed. Otherwise, I like it. Il Blud was always lacking as a Gigaplant for the Type, and this card blows it out of the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgerr123 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 What about when it leaves the field all lvl 4 or lower cards get destroyed... (You know how the original story ends) Because these stats are pretty gosh-darn good... so a minus wouldn't be that bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyKris96 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Just a thought, as for how to combo its effect? Maybe change the special summon to special from the hand- as when it is summoned it can add to the hand? Then you could chain in a level three tuner (not an expert on zombies, so don't hold me to this) from the graveyard, then onto the field, from the hand. Just a thought. Also, maybe to balance the fact it can special summon once every turn, maybe you could add in something like: "When this card leaves the field, destroy all monsters special summoned by this card's effect" ?

dgerr123 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Level 4 cards with more then 2000 all have a minus... There isnt one that doesnt... But what about the same effect but have it say all cards with 1800 atk or less get destroyed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could even be useful with skull servant/The lady in wight becuase it could help to make the king of the skull servants or whatever its called even better!
