'Tis the season to be salty (Christmas themed single: Vengeful Spirit of Giving)

[AcediaJC]

Not a whole lot to say here, just a very simple, generic/splashable Xyz with a festive theme. Posting it here rather than Advanced since I'm not really sure how balanced its effect is. I know easy draw power, skipped draw phases, and forced discards can always be a recipe for broken-ness, and combining all three into one card is probably bad design. But I figured since the effects hit both players it might possibly make it actually fair. I guess that's up to the more knowledgeable players/designers to decide though :P

 

 

Vengeful Spirit of Giving

[Rank 4] [WATER Attribute]

[Warrior / Xyz / Effect]

2 level 4 Monsters

Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; both players Draw 1 card, then skip their next Draw Phase. When this card is destroyed (either by battle or card effect), both players discard 1 card.

[ATK: 1800] [DEF: 700]

 

EDIT: Updated with the suggestion of making its ATK and DEF total 2500 :)

[Forest Fire]

i've said it before and i'll say it again: we definitely need more rank 4s. 

i like how this seems to support exodia decks, but couldn't ever be used in a traditional exodia deck. 

effect seems very fitting. maybe someone could find a way to splash this into dark world decks or fabled, but otherwise it's a very well balanced single. the stats are ok i guess. i'm not saying they need to be changed, but it would have been cool to see them total 2500.

Oh damn, hadn't even thought about that ATK/DEF total idea, that's really clever! It'd probably be even better for the ATK/DEF to be 2400/2500, but that would be way too high for a generic 2-mat Rank 4 without some gimmick. I'm definitely going to make them total 2500 now though, it sounds like a really neat little touch.
