Wonder Garden

Field Spell

All monsters on the field and the GYs become Plant-Type.  Once per turn, if you would Tribute, or banish from the GY, a monster(s) to activate a card effect, you can Tribute, or banish from the GY, 1 Plant monster in your opponent's possession respectively, even though it is not in your possession. If this card is sent to the GY by a card effect: You can Set 1 Spell/Trap directly from your Deck, that includes "Plant(-Type)" in its text. You can only use this effect of "Wonder Garden" once per turn.

 

As the title implies, I took inspiration from Lair of Darkness. The card is intended to support Plant support Spell/Traps like Pollinosis, Super Solar Nutrient, Frozen Roars, Mark of the Rose, Fragrance Storm like by searching and/or empowering them. It can even cross-support other cards that mention Plant-Type in their text, such as Ayer's Rock Sunrise. It can be amusing with Lonefire and Tytannial, too.

I can't really say much about this card, as I never liked Lair of Darkness. This card does the same thing but better, limiting Decks by Type rather than Attribute, which hurts your opponent more methinks, even if it does force you to play something that doesn't care as well. Also, banishing from the GY is such a prevalent cost these days, that this becomes a better generic Lair of Darkness. It even messes with the opponent's GY :( Also, that GY effect is super duper easy to Trigger. Running Knightmares? Discard it. Running Belongings? Mill it. Open 2 copies? Activate them both and get the search. If you have a means to discard it, it can be played in any Deck even if you don't intend to use it. Fragrance Storm becomes extremely viable both as a means of removal and searching.

At the very least I'd tone down the searching effect, as, while I don't like the card as a whole, Lair of Darkness set a whole new precedence for powerful removal. Also, you're missing a "respectively" in the effect, as right now you can banish from the GY instead of Tributing and vice versa.

Good catch on the "respectively" part. By the way, note that Fragrance Storm destroys as part of the effect so you won't be able to use an opponent's monster for it.

I deliberately made the search flexible to work with milling support and Foolish Burial Goods. If I want to keep this flexibility, then nerfing the search range is in order, but IDK how, since I want it to support underused stuff like Wall of Thorns, and Pollinosis as well as more potent cards like Mark of the Rose, Miracle Fertilizer.

Oh, right! Then it's awesome! xD

IDK, this is one of those cases where I like the card's premise so much that I don't want to nerf it. Do you suggest to limit the search to only Traps then?

Dunno if it's too early but bringing this up because I have updated the card with a change: it only searches for Traps to support underused stuff like Pollinosis and Wall of Ivy.

 

EDIT:

Another edit: now it floats when it's sent to the GY by an effect, and can again grab either a Spell or a Trap.
