Elemental Dragon Volans

Been a spell since creating any cards and thought I'd make a stab at Elemental Lord support. Well, more of an addition or replacement than anything. I do need some help with the last bit of wording on this monster because I'm not the best when it comes to the language I speak every single day. Thanks for the critique and have yourself a day.

Elemental Dragon Volans

Lvl 8

EARTH Attribute

ATK/2800 DEF/2200

Dragon/Effect: Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by having exactly 5 different Attributes in your GY. This monster is treated as an "Elemental Lord". Once per turn by banishing 5 "Elementsaber" monsters from your field or GY, Special Summon 1 "Elemental Lord" monster from your deck except "Elemental Dragon Volans". If an "Elemental Lord" monster should leave the field: You can send this monster to the GY instead. While this monster is on the field you do not need to skip your Battle Phase.

As far as the Special Summoning an "Elemental Lord" monster effect goes, you'll need to have it ignore conditions because otherwise the rest of them are Nomis and require you summon them while there's exactly 5 of a certain Attribute in the GY. Besides that, there isn't too much reason to really protect said Elemental Lords on the field without the cost of them killing your Battle Phase. Yeah, the last part needs some work, but it's still understandable (bypass the no BP thing if one of them goes). As far as Elemental Lords go, yeah, that drawback sucks so mitigating it isn't bad. There are other cards that do skip your BP, but either they're banned now (AFD) or not worth mentioning.

 

I'm not sure how to rewrite the last effect, assuming it also applies to non-Elemental Lords that skip the BP.

As long as this card remains face-up on the field: You can conduct your Battle Phase.

 

While you control this face-up card: You can ignore any effects that require you to skip your Battle Phase.

 

I'm sure there are more methods to writing this effect. But these are generally my methods.

You would need to remove the colon on both since those are used for ignition/trigger effects, this one is a continuous effect. But the second one should be fine for now, though not going to harp on card grammar too much unless it's incomprehensible (which this card isn't).

I was assuming that the effect was a constant as long as the card was face-up. That's kinda why I chose those methods.

 

But yeah, I do personally like the idea of having a decent dragon that allows me to keep my BP. So yeah, kudos on that.

Edit's have been made.

 

The idea for Volans came with the fact that no Elemental Lord or Elementsaber card negated the Elemental Lords effect of skipping Battle Phases. I can completely understand why that effect is there, but when the difference between winning the duel comes down to if you have a Battle Phase that turn something like Volans would be awesome.

Constant effects do not use the semicolon/colon, as Sakura mentioned. In your case, the first effect would be fine with just a comma instead of the semicolon. In fact, you could just write;

 

"Your Battle Phase cannot be skipped by cards or effects."

 

As all effects only apply while the card is face-up on the field unless otherwise specified.

 


 

About the card itself, you're still not "ignoring its Summoning Conditions" in the Summoning Elemental Lords from the Deck effect as Sakura suggested, because cards like the Elemental Lords with that "Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set" clause cannot be Special Summoned except through their method, unless it has "Must first be Special Summoned" in which case it can be Special Summoned by other means, such as from the GY or while banished, as long as its first Summoning condition was already met.

 

But yeah, interesting card. A bit bricky, only really working late-game, but it provides a means to the end of Summoning whatever Elemental Lord you need. Shame it eats up so much, but it can banish from the field, so you can just grab whatever of the Lords will help destroy your opponent. Not a great card, but something nice someone could play if they wanted.
