When Normal Summoned: Send 1 monster from your Deck to the Graveyard. If Tributed to activate a Spell Card's effect, you can activate this effect: Your opponent shuffles their hand into the Deck and draws 3 cards.

 

Just a little something I always wanted to make into a card.

It's intended to be a solid Foolish Burial-like card in most decks. Using Level decreasing effects to ditch the Tributes is often as much of an investment as actually Tribute Summoning so I am trying "Normal Summoned".

 

The most advantage-winning combo you can probably possibly make is:

Special Summon Tefnuit and Tribute it for this card. This card ditches Destiny HERO Malicious while Tefnuit goes for it's Dragon.

Then you Transmodify it into Brain Crusher, which is almost a Goyo Guardian. You spend half your hand in that combo so the hand-shuffling effect tries to make up for it. Brain Crusher also gets out via Tefnuit + Insect Imitation so it's not as situational as it could be, even though it still is gimmicky.

 

Enemy Controller also makes this card get a quick use, ruining a lot of plays potentially when your opponent is building up their strategy.

^Is this ok?.... *thinks*

 

Thoughts?

This card would be the bane of all Exodia type decks especially late game forcing them to redraw 2-3 Pieces of Exodia can end most of them while you can recover from much more quickly than they can. This can is totally sideboard material but good sideboard material that can stop draw heavy decks.

Thank you.

I am a little bit biased to be honest, since I got Maxx C'd pretty often at YGOPro before doing this card, so I was thinking a somewhat balanced way to counter that would be good. Psychics have a Spell Card that kind of does that as well, and I've seen the advantage gaining on many decks can often go up to 8 cards in hand with ease.

 

And always happy to hit Exodia as a mere bonus xP

Thinking about it Enemy Controller is a quick use for ruining plays. I'll post that in the OP and see what people think of it.

The first effect alone would pretty much get the ball rolling in quite a few scenarios, and not just with Malicious(Despite the fact that would be the most prominent play).

Also, you could actually get away with it just being Tributed in general, for the second effect. Mostly because the effectiveness of messing with their hand like that would be situational if your doing it right off the bat, and not so much waiting until they do something to make it more of a thing(Like with that one Artifact Xyz and being a quick effect). Also it could lead to Virus shenanigans.

I wonder if that'd be ok though. Virus shenanigans sound very powerful. Your opponent's hand becomes 3 cards that you are allowed to see, and get reduced even further depending on how many of X cards were drawn. It almost sounds unfair for a turn 1 play. Though if you say it's totally ok, I'll go for it xD

Also, my main idea grew from wanting to use Insect Imitation to turn Tefnuit into Brain Crusher (which I made a deck for it at YGOPro with that combo) and it somehow twisted into this card's creation.

 

=D

First effect is pretty OK, but second one bothers me a little. While Ritual doesnt get that much love, Gishki could use this in a dedicated Gustkraken Deck.

Aside from that, I dont see that much abuse, but I am pretty sure some other people will see. Also making it DARK just to combo with Brain Crusher doesnt seems too realistic if you read the name of the card. You can either change the name, or picture, whatever you prefer.

I should go for non-Ritual Spell Cards then. Upon reading this my first thought was making it only Normal Spell Cards, but that'd leave out Enemy Controller, Ectoplasma, and all sorts of random effects like that, which are continuous or quick play.

Too bad because I'd love for Rituals to get that extra push but Gishkis just ruin the fun like that.

 

As for the pic, since I was looking at insect-like stuff for a while and found this in a sea of background-less images and sketches, I think the name is a better call to change. Though I'm not exactly good with names.

Hmm....
