This card is definitely very useful. Its first effect goes with Wightmare while its second effect goes with Wightprince, which makes this one of the most versatile cards in their disposal. By using his effect in combinations with any of the mentioned cards, any of the following can happen:

 

1) You sent 4 "Skull Servants" to the Graveyard (Second Effect + Wightprince)

2) You Special Summon "King of the Skull Servants" from your Deck and sent 1 "Skull Servant" to the Graveyard (Second Effect + Wightprince + Wightprince SS effect)

3) You sent 2 "Skull Servants" to the Graveyard and Special Summoned 1 banished "Lady in Wight" or "King of Skull Servants" (First effect + Wightmare second effect)

4) You sent 2 "Skull Servants" to the Graveyard and returned 1 banished "Skull Servant" or "Wightmare" to your Graveyard (First effect + Wightmare first effect)

 

Which I think is enough to get this card semi-limited or limited. The first possibility lets you just Normal Summon "King of Skull Servants" with a minimum of 4000 ATK by simply using up 1 card. While the rest of the possibilities are fine, I find the first one a bit too effective, which might get this card somewhere on the banlist should it ever be created. Aside from that, it is an excellent addition to Skull Servants. Its ATK/DEF are bit odd for the archtype, however, seeing as their main focus of power is King of the Skull Servants (not saying that 1300 ATK is a lot) having Wighterror have in a hint of ATK power goes against the archtype. But that is merely an oddity, not a balancing issue.

Galkin summed up the issue with this card perfectly: It's extremely versatile and, with that versatility, it becomes a little too good.

 

Limitations are thus necessary (either that or this card becomes limited, which isn't bad either). Perhaps making it so that during the turn you use this card's effects, you cannot  attack. Really, my major concern is the fact that, in using this card, your King would get really beefed up (its ATK would go up 1000 more than normal due to this card being in the Grave on top of all the wightmare combo-ing).

 

If you added that limitation, people would only use this card in situations when they're basically stuck without other options. But perhaps you  want it so that it really does provide pure utility without drawbacks like that; then, in that case, I suggest a "Each effect of Wighterror can only be activated once per duel."

 

Those are only two possible restrictions, but I think the message is clear: The card's effects are awesome, but a limitation would really help balance it.

That will not stop people from running it as it allows you to thin your Deck by 3 (and by choice, for that matter). A better way would be to stop all Special Summons for the turn, if the player in question actually wishes to Summon King with Prince's effect that turn, or just scrap the by choice milling all together from the card.

OPD effect should not be suggested as a balancing method, as it only promotes the mindset that slapping a OPD clause on a card will balance a broken card.

I have a perfect balancing hitch that also falls in to a card grammar mistake.(I think he intended this unless I dont know this type of effect is very rare for yugioh)

 

While this card is in your Graveyard, its name is treated as "Skull Servant". You can discard this card to activate 1 of the following effects: ●Add 1 "Skull Servant" card from your Graveyard to your hand. ●Send 1 "Skull Servant" monster or "Wight" monster from your Deck to the Graveyard. You can only use one effect of "Wighterror" once per turn.

Oh, so correcting card grammar is called card balancing by the kids nowadays? Seriously, the effect is the same damn thing as in the original post, so all you did was post another damn OCG correction, which in fact is wrong as well. He does not need to add "card" after "Skull Servant" in the first effect, and he clearly intended the second effect to be only once per turn, not the first. which is a balanced effect that does not need to be struck down to once per turn only.

O_o? seriously chill out.  You for one are responding like I'm attacking him I'm just trying to help and whats with that? You're sitting here championing this guy like he payed you. "skull servant " card, is proper card grammar and I never said 'card' after skull servant was anything he needed to do, it just allows him to be able to search more than just skull servant if he or Konami makes a card like that. I could/would like to see a ritual made. Nothing malicious just you over reacting...... I just wanted to see if my card grammar could help. I'll just keep to fixing errors. D;

No, I just do not like people like you, who only comment about card grammar and then expect other people to do the rest of the work.

As I already explained before, there is no need to add "card" after "Skull Servant" because all Wight monsters are already treated as a Skull Servant while in the Graveyard, and secondly, there are no Skull Servant cards, outside of the normal monster itself released in the game, so correcting it to "Skull Servant" card is not in fact, correct. If you'd look at, for example, Wightprince, there is no "card" after "Skull Servant" in the effect.

Updated the card and based the restrictions off of your suggestion of restricting Special Summoning. I included Normal Summoning just to be safe, so people don't add a King of the Skull Servants to their Hand and Normal Summon a giant beater that turn. Do you think this makes it more balanced, or did I just add an unnecessary restriction?  I didn't want to scrap the mill effect, since I wanted Wighterror to make the Wight cards play faster.


Aside from that, it is an excellent addition to Skull Servants. Its ATK/DEF are bit odd for the archtype, however, seeing as their main focus of power is King of the Skull Servants (not saying that 1300 ATK is a lot) having Wighterror have in a hint of ATK power goes against the archtype. But that is merely an oddity, not a balancing issue.

 

Because Wightmare and Skull Servant's ATK/DEF are identical, I decided to make Wighterror's ATK/DEF the same as well, instead of having the original 1300/1200 and changed its Level to 1, because of Rank Xyz Shenanigans.

But Actially this Card is Very Good! 8/10

You're breaking two rules here - first, you are not allowed to bump other members' topics. Also, you are not following the Advanced Clause, which states that your review must be at least as long as the card's effect itself (as well as being helpful with either comments or suggestions). Please keep this in mind when you next post.
