Gouki The Champion Ogre

Rank 5 EARTH

Warrior/Xyz/Effect

2+ Level 5 "Gouki" Monsters

This card cannot be destroyed by battle. When this card battles an opponents monster while you control a "Gouki" Link monster, your opponent cannot activate cards or effects until after damage calculation. Once per turn: you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; increase this cards ATK by 1000.

ATK/3000 DEF/0

 

Gouki Tag Team

Spell Card

Activate this card while you control 2 or more "Gouki" monsters with Levels. Target 1 "Gouki" monster you control that has a Level, the Level of all other "Gouki" monsters you control become the same as the targeted monster and gain ATK equal to the targeted monsters Level x 200 until the End Phase this turn. If you Xyz Summon a "Gouki" Xyz Monster during the turn this card was activated, draw 1 card. You can only activate this effect of "Gouki Tag Team" once per turn.

 

So this new Gouki Support helps them with using Xyz's where Sparlio and Tag Team can effectively make Gouki Monsters have the same Level as the targeted monster. In addition the Gouki Xyz's each have their own offensive effects where Freed can attack directly, Rumble can attack all monsters at once and Champion can gain 1000 ATK during each of your turns. In addition they also gain effects if you also control a Gouki Link Monster to give you that additional edge during a duel.

 

In Gouki's these cards would give them a means to Xyz Summon as well as make a range of various Xyz Monsters due to how they all have different Levels.

Interestin, though I do not agree with Gouki Sparlio's Level, as things stand they follow the rule that the floaters ALL have different Levels, and given that Level 1-6 is already used this has to be a Level 7+ or not have the floating effect.

As expected from you they are overly focused on battle effects, yet in this case they actually fit.

 

The Champion Ogre appears to have an unfitting protection, given that it starts at 4000 and only grows from there, while being a sitting duck for any kind of interrupting effects.

Then again I do have to admit Gouki the Giant Ogre can protect it against targeting, yet the unused Link 4 can do the same for battles.

I am not sure on Tag Team, if it is actually necessary if a monster can already set them to the same Level, though Suprex + any Gouki + Gouki Tag Team -> Evilswarm Exciton Knight can be quite funny (though Suprex + Sparlio is better at that).

Gouki Critical Ogre seems fine.

Why would you ever Summon Gouki Rumble Ogre with more than 2 materials if you only feel the difference if it survives for 2 turns ?

Also Tag Team being a kind of Rank-Up-Magic could make sense as well, if you want to go that route.

 

All in all I like those ideas, apart from the design on Gouki Sparlio, it being Level 4 is as unfitting as giving it more than 0 Defense.

Fixed the Issue you had with Sparlio making it a Level 7, plus I did the 2+ as an optional thing so they had more use of their effects if need be.

Fixed the Issue you had with Sparlio making it a Level 7, plus I did the 2+ as an optional thing so they had more use of their effects if need be.

I would suggest it being level 8+ or restrict to Gouki Xyzs, given that Tomahawk is a thing and you propably want this one to be designed to enable their new Xyzs and not further support generic Link Spam.

(Yea I forgot that as well).

Also I suggest adding a restriction on its self summon effect, given that this just allows further easy setup for Firewall Dragon.

If it cannot be used as Link Material, except for a Gouki Link monster that would solve the issue and still allow generic Xyz options like Evilswarm Exciton Knight.

 

As for the more materials part ... I missed the fact that they all had it, which left me confused why this one would get it, though you could add an effect that can be used if one uses at least 3 materials, giving targeting protection, detaching 1 Xyz Material to preven their destruction or something like that.
