Red-Eyes

[Draconus297]

Red-Eyes Assault Fighter

DARK - Level 4 - Warrior/Effect - 1800/1000

Once per turn (Quick Effect): You can equip this card from your hand or field to a face-up "Red-Eyes" monster you control. If a monster equipped with this card destroys your opponent's monster by battle: You can banish up to 1 each of a monster, Spell, and/or Trap Card from your opponent's Graveyard, then, if your opponent has 5 or more banished cards; you can draw 1 card for every 5 of your opponent's banished cards. If this card is sent to the Graveyard by a card's effect, you can select and activate 1 of the following effects:

●Add 1 Level 1 DARK Dragon-Type monster from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand.

●Send 1 card from the field to the Graveyard that is in the same column as the card that sent this card to the Graveyard.

 

Good fodder for Fusion that can search either Black Metal or Black Stone, a really solid equip on Slash or Gearfried, and can shift itself around in case you can get multiple solid Red-Eyes on board to swing for damage and net multiple draws. Oh, and you can dump it off Insight to break an Extra Link and search Red-Eyes Fusion in the same move, potentially making Slash Dragon just to get rid of something else.

 

Guardians (as in, Rafael's Equip-centric dudes)

[Bringerofcake]

Guardian Reclamation

Normal Spell

Special Summon 1 "Guardian" monster whose card text lists an Equip Spell or "Guardian Eatos" from your hand, ignoring Summon conditions, then equip an Equip Spell listed in its card text from your hand/Deck/GY to it, or if you Special Summoned "Guardian Eatos", equip "Celestial Sword Eatos" this way.

 

At first I made a card was an almost carbon copy of Draconus' from this thread, so instead, we give them a card that unbricks the hand somewhat.

 

Battlin' Boxer

[AstralStarZero]

Battlin’ Boxer Round Count

Level 4 FIRE Warrior/Effect

LV

[Darj]

Level Merging

Quick-Play Spell

Banish from your hand, field or GY, 2 monsters with the same name but different "LV", then add 1 monster from your Deck or GY to your hand with the same name but an equal or higher "LV" than the highest "LV" among the banished monsters, and if you do, Special Summon 1 monster with the same name as the monster added to your hand, ignoring its Summoning conditions.

To clear up, it adds the monster to the hand first to bypass the restriction of not being able to Summon the monster from the GY if it wasn't properly Summoned first.

ATK/1100 DEF/1500

 

Next:

Rokkets

[Bringerofcake]

I think the grammar would go something like
 

If you would flip a coin(s), you can banish this card from your GY, then flip a coin. Treat the result of all those coin flip(s) as the result of the coin flip with this effect.

but coinflip grammar has always been kinda funky

 

Anyway, on to the card.

1900/LINK 2

Ruin and Demise

You must also Tribute LIGHT Fairy Ritual monsters from your Hand or field whose total Levels equal or exceed the Level of the Ritual Monster you Ritual Summon. If you Ritual Summon "Demise, King of Armageddon" using this card, you can also Tribute LIGHT Fairy Ritual Monsters from Deck. You can only activate 1 "Demise of Ruin" once per turn.

Next:

Code Talkers

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Talkback Loader
DARK/Cyberse/Effect/Level 2/600 ATK/300 DEF
If this card is in your hand or GY: You can Tribute 1 Cyberse Normal Monster you control; Special Summon this card. You can only use this effect of "Talkback Loader" once per turn. If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can Special Summon 1 "Talkback Loader" from your hand, Deck, or GY. Cannot be used as a Link Material, except for the Link Summon of a "Talkback" or "Code Talker" Link Monster.

Next: Salamangreats. Preferably another Ritual or Fusion that they can make.

[Draconus297]

Salamangreat Royal Hydra

FIRE - Level 6 - Cyberse/Fusion/Effect - 2200/1800

1 "Salamangreat" monster + 1 or more Special Summoned monsters with different original ATK (max. 3)

When this card is Fusion Summoned, you can target 1 "Salamangreat" Link monster in your Graveyard whose Link Rating is less than or equal to the number of non-"Salamangreat" monsters used as Material for this card's Fusion Summon: Special Summon that target with its effects negated, then draw 1 card. If you control only "Salamangreat" monsters, including this Fusion Summoned card: This card can attack monsters a maximum number of times per Battle Phase equal to the number of monsters used as Material for this card's Fusion Summon -1. If this card was Fusion Summoned using "Salamangreat Royal Hydra" as Fusion Material, this card gains the following effect:

●When this card attacks, you can banish 1 Effect monster from your opponent's Graveyard: This card gains ATK equal to half the banished monster's, until the End Phase, also this card gains the effect listed last in the text of the banished monster until the next time a monster is banished this way.

 

Basically, this effect can basically never wind up accidentally (and pointlessly) copying a Summoning condition (those are always listed first), but it can wind up with unfortunate suicide effects if you use it to copy an Earthbound Immortal or something. It steals effects from your opponent's Graveyard so that you can't do stupid things with Independent Nightingale, but if you somehow wind up in a Salamangreat mirror match (yeah right) you will invariably wind up with the bonus effect.

DARK *

<picture of a kuriboh cosplaying as dark magician>

Fiend/Effect

If a "Dark Magician" you control battles: you can banish this card from your GY; "Dark Magician" is not destroyed during that battle, also, banish the monster that it battles.

300/200

 

Because another good NSable monster is sorely needed for DM.
