Rose Shaman (I guess I have to put this here apparently)

We were talking about balancing the card in the OCG & TCG forums here wanting to balance the manga card. This was what I came up with.


 


Rose Shaman


EARTH | Level 3 | Plant/Effect | 1700 ATK/200 DEF


You can send this card from your hand or face-up from your side of the field to the GY: Add 1 level 4 or higher Plant monster from your Deck to your hand. You can only use the effect of this card's name once per turn.


 


It used to be this: 


 


Rose Shaman


EARTH | Level 3 (I'm assuming) | Plant/Effect | 1700 ATK/200 DEF


You can send this card from your hand or face-up from your side of the field to the GY (Quick Effect): Draw 1 card.


 


We thought this was broken for a couple reasons. The obvious one is that it's an objectively better Upstart Goblin that for no reason is a Quick Effect. The next was that Predaplants didn't need another card for their engine (since they're already really good with Scorpio and Cobra alone). 


 


My version was made to support the Level 4 or higher Plant monsters, which are particularly to target the Level 8 Plant Queens of old. They aren't really an archetype, but there are enough thematic similarities and synergies for people to care about them. With this card, they would be able to search their Queens and any other level 4 Plants you might be running.

Oooh I'd like some of that good ol' Plant Princess support! They are so much fun to play with!

 

What that being said, the card is surprisingly balanced given the fact that Plant-type is kind of the underdog right now. Though, if I am being honest, it does not do a whole lot for Plants since anything that isn't terrible are already quite consistent, and many of the best cards are Level 3 and lower.

 

Also, I am not a Predaplant player so I do not know exactly how much it would boost the archetype, but they seem good enough as they are now.

Predaplants don't have anything relevant other than the Fusions that are level 4 or higher, which was the point of the restriction. It can also work with Sylvans to an extent, which is nice, but they do run quite a few lower level monsters along with the higher level monsters.
