[Written/Link] Photon Battle Tank

Photon Battle Tank

LIGHT

Link: D, DL

Machine/Link/Effect

2 LIGHT Monsters

(Quick effect): you can tribute 1 Monster in a zone this card points to; banish 1 card on your opponents side of the field, then, inflict damage to your opponent equal to half of the tributed monsters the original ATK. If you use this effect, this card cannot attack this turn. You can only activate this effect of "Photon Battle Tank" once per turn.

ATK/2000 LINK-2

 

So considering we have Photon Sanctuary to be able to make a possible Link 2 Light Monster, I made this where it can tribute a monster linked t it as ammo to banish 1 card on your opponents field and deal damage equal to the tribute monsters ATK. Plus it gets the bonus of its effect being a quick effect and that it doesn't target though has the hard OPT clause ladled on it.

Well, you're not wrong about Photon Sanctuary being a legitimate Link 2 enabler for them (though I don't think it gets used outside summoning GEPD in the old days).

 

Banishing the opponent's card is somewhat questionable (remember Zoodiac Drancia and what she can do with face-ups?) and burn can end up rather massive, especially during the later part of the game. Concerning the first point, note that the aforementioned only destroys stuff and requires that you target; this does not and banish. Arguably, it's approximately the same level of difficulty in summoning (albeit with less fodder to work with). Then again, in the context of evilfusion.dek (yes, Photon/Galaxy now count with his name), suppose you can Tribute any of the Xyz bosses after they go sour and burn for game. You may want to make it triggerable on your own turn only, because a non-targeting/banishing Drancia is NOT fun.

Made edits to work around concerns as this now deals only half the original attack and cannot attack the turn its effects used.
