Pendulum Gateway

[Atypical-Abbie]

A Trap for Pendulum Decks that steals the mechanic from Weather Painters, gives the monsters effects that shuffle them into the Deck to Special Summon monsters from your hand or Extra Deck to the same zone. Comes with a strong condition of shuffling them into the Deck during the End Phase, but makes up for it for cheating the Extra Deck rules a bit.

 

Pendulum Monsters in your Main Monster Zone in the same column as this card, and Main Monster Zones adjacent to that zone gain this effect.
● You can shuffle this card into your Deck; Special Summon 1 Pendulum Monsters from your hand or face-up in your Extra Deck to the same zone this card was in, but it is shuffled into the Deck during the End Phase.

Love it-it actually hearkens back to making Pendulums like they were pre-Master Rule 4, does it in a way that lets spare Pendulums the picture's bomb, but I do feel it'll be a bit like Pendulum Switch-in which it does amazing things, but a bit too slowly on a bit too fragile.

 

Plus, a non-significant number of Pendulum Monsters require being Pendulm Summoned, but this may simply work to get out the non-Pendulum Summoned niceties out of the way. Certainly something that works on filling out the Extra Deck would work well with this-Igknights, Zefras, and Abyss Actors spring to mind.

 

I would suggest it let it Summon in a Main Monster Zone, because if you Summon a Pendulum Monster to the Extra Zone, then put it out with this effect, the new monster's still occupying the Extra Zone. I know there's probably a wrinkle in this, but the main point is that it should allow Pendulum to be in a non-cloggy spot. That was the intent, yes?

 

Other than that, again, love this card.
