U.A. Shotclocker (A.K.A. Yu-Gi-Oh On Ice, Part 1!)

Welcome to the rink, fellas. Heres the gameplan. 

 

Right now, the U.A. Federation is sweeping the world over with its range of amazing competitors. Dave Shears and Blaine Gallagher have the football circuit locked up-you might known 'em by their club designations of U.A. Blockbacker and U.A. Playmaker. Meanwhile, baseball's being torn up by the endless barrage of homers put out by the U.A. Mighty Slugger-you might know him better as Sean McField- and the equal number of lesser batters put out by that legendary pitcher, U.A. Perfect Ace-he prefers his peers call him Jackie Redd. Then there's the basketball game, taken to new heights with the one-two punch of the U.A. Dreadnought Dunker and Rival Rebounder-y'know Henry Badiola and Sonny Buscar. And finally, we have the unpassable U.A. Goalkeeper and the ankle-breaking Midfielder - Jay Veranda and Raimundo Baron-have the soccer side of things on lock. 

 

But now it's your turn to do the same for the world of hockey. The stage has already been set for your crowning moment. 

 

Now go, Shotclocker. And land the pucks that make the bucks!!

[spoiler=U.A. Shotclocker: Info]

EARTH/Warrior-Type Effect Monster/Level 8/3000 ATK/1600 DEF
 
Lore: You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by returning 1 "U.A." monster you control to the hand, except "U.A. Shotclocker". You can only Special Summon "U.A. Shotclocker" once per turn this way. If this card is Special Summoned by a "U.A." monster's effect: Draw 1 card. Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can have this card lose 1000 ATK, then target 1 face-up card on the field with the same card type (Monster, Spell or Trap) as a "U.A." card you control; destroy that target, and if you do, banish it.

 

 

 

BDS will NOT be signing off, but WILL be returning later on with the other new addition to the U.A. Hockey League roster. STAY TUNED.

Well, certainly provides the draw power, I can't deny that. What I will say, however, is that probably the best thing to go with high stats, high level, easy summoning conditions and a draw power method, especially with a card like Midfielder has it has no HOPT, is a reasonably weak supporting effect. A kill 1 card at the low cost of 1000 ATK? Not only does this card start at 3000 ATK, not only is it speed spell 2, not only does it banish but it can be easily dealt with by just returning it to the hand? Yes, I do love me effects in U.A.s which make them lose stats, but combined with the draw power effect it's just a bit too much. I would suggest nerfing it to something like a negation of effect, but otherwise, nice idea, and grats on finding the artwork :D

And this is what Konami should've been making for U.A. instead of cancer.dek (and Kaijus). You can guess what the former refers to.

 

As a whole, it is a better boss for the Deck than Playmaker would ever hope to be, considering this one actually pluses off of you "tagging" in and lets you destroy/banish something. For the moment though, you're probably going to be hitting monsters though, since the only Spells they have are Stadium and maybe Jersey if you keep it on the field long enough. Penalty Box exists, yes, but unless you're blowing up floodgates or something, not going to do much (that, and Box is literally the only Trap they have now).

 

If you do have Stadium up (and ideally, you should), then suppose you can kill Pendulums or something, which is cool. For the most part, you can probably get rid of an opposing boss monster and then shuffle out later for more.

 

But yeah, this is already granting a free draw on summon and getting rid of something; though given the gamestate as-is, they kind of need a power boost considering the lack of support options.

 

-----

Though, they still need more Level 4 and under to facilitate their plays (or least something to start the plays quickly), considering they don't have those extra copies of RoTA to search Midfielder and there's only so much you can hope for it or Signing Deal as they are. Hopefully the next U.A.s you make can address this.

 

(We expected to get hockey U.A stuff in CORE, but Konami screwed them over in favor of the other stuff)
