Cubic Linker

 

Link / Dark / Fiend

Link 2 / Bottom Left, Bottom Right

Link Materials: 2 "Cubic" monsters

1400 attack

 

When this card is summoned: You can add 1 of your banished "Cubic" cards to your hand. Once per turn: you can discard 1 "Cubic" card; special summon 1 level 4 or lower "Cubic" monster from your deck ignoring it's summoning conditions, and if it's summoned this way it's treated as if it were summoned by it's own effect. If this card is sent to the graveyard: you can send 1 "Cubic" card from your deck to your graveyard; special summon this card during your next standby phase.

 

Well, there are no notes (surprised this stayed up in Advanced for so long) so I don't really know what you're trying to do but this is something

 

Granted it does a lot, basically puts a banished Karma into the GY to summon Duza to mill another Karma (got to love that lack of OPT) or something. Can also add a Wave to OTK harder and adds a card to hand to summon Crimson.

 

Can also summon a Buster Gundil for his 3000 body triple attacks, dear god......

 

The revival is neat but if you're going to have that then at least take into account it's linked markers. Cubics rarely use the Extra so what wrong with putting 1 arrow horizontally? Also, I need confirmation, would Unification trigger if this card was sent to the GY and it was sent by this effect so since it was sent as a cost it would be there during the window it needs to activate?

 

Now, why a link? They literally only have 1 fusion monster (that Konami doesn't even want you to summon so they made the fusion a Trap and unsearchable with the "Fusion" support \s)

 

I can live with that, but what I can't is this:

 

I can count on 1 hand the number of times I resolved at least 1 of the Nomi lv2-4 monster to swarm the field with Vijams in a real duel. How do you plan to get this card out? Use Crimson as material?

 

Granted this card is good enough I would consider running ...... "A Wild Monster Appears!". "One for One" exist well. However "A Wild Monster Appears!" involves increasing the count of Garnets in your deck to be consistent and "One for One" conflicts with needing cards in hand to summon Nova. Neither is satisfying and feel very janky, basically, it just very hard to actually bring this card out.

 

Personally, I would like to tone down all the plussing but it overall a very good card

that is a good point, since it revives itself it should have link markers more like that of double helix, since he can get revived pretty easily. 

I initially imagined you would summon it with some combination of duza / vijam, you could use crimson nova but that would be kinda a waste of the crimson nova. Better used for just trying to otk. 

I would think that you couldn't get the effect of unification, since he would have to be destroyed, then sent to the graveyard, then his revival affect applies to mill a cubic card. 

 

could it theoretically be a link 1 with less attack? you could just summon it with a single vijam/duza and get some advantage off of the karmas you would be sending

 

edits*

 

1. changed the link markers

You have the mill as a cost so that Unification would already be in the GY when it would be activated. It's not sent as an effect like you are suggesting, may need to edit it if that was what you were intending.

 

If you make him a Link-1 I would remove 1 or 2 of those effects. You may also need HOPT or a way to avoid going into it 3 times and getting it's effect every time. However, none of the cubic monsters have HOPTs so that would be out of theme with the rest of them. Link-1s are tricky to balance but it may be a better idea seeing how bad Cubics are at swarming (excluding Crimson) but this card would need to reworked from the ground up in that case.

I've tried making it into a link 1, and giving it more swarming options than aren't too simple to pull off without set up. 

 

changes

1. link 2 to link 1 

2. cannot use himself as a link material

3. removal floating effect

4. removed effect to summon a level 4 or lower cubic monster from the deck into vijams

5. added damage restrictions for balance

Cubic Linker

 

Link / Dark / Fiend

Link 1 / Bottom

Link Materials: 1 "Cubic" except "Cubic Linker"

1000 attack

Well, basically a new card so I'll start from the top

 

A bit curious about the "1 "Cubic" except "Cubic Linker"" does that mean you can use Karma since it doesn't say monster? That would be interesting to say the least but there's no precedent for it and it's probably an error on your part so I'll leave it at that but just wanted to think about that.

 

Personally, It's fantastic, gets a card back and finally gives us a way to spam Vijam that all the Nomi monsters want. Buster Gundil could actually warrant been run for more than just a name (Rest are still pretty bad, of no fault of this card). Halves the damage but I've OTK in tag duels (with 16000LP) with Cubics so it's still possible to OTK

rip, after all the edits I've done I forgot to put the word "Monster" after cubic, ( facepalms )

still though, this was a fun monster to make :D.

It would certainly be neat to see irl
