Fueghost Jolokia

FIRE

✪ (Level 1)

[Plant/Tuner/Effect]

ATK/ 500 DEF/ 200

If this card is destroyed by battle or by card effect: You can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Pyro monster from your Deck, and then inflict damage to your opponent equal to the original ATK of the Summoned monster.

 

[spoiler=Concept + Wordplay]So it is based on this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhut_jolokia , only I use one of its aliases being "ghost jolokia" in the word play as you will see soon. I will post a drawing of it soon, but as it stands it would be a ghost pepper with a skull face that consist of blazing eye sockets. With that in mind, it would be a literal depiction of a ghost pepper as the skull is iconic for death

 

In terms of how the effect relates to ghost peppers, ghost peppers deliver a very painful spicy flavor upon eating it and in the same way this effect brings out a Pyro monster and damage upon destroying it.

 

Wordplay:

(Fuego - "go") + (Ghost Jolokia)= Pormanteau + Corruption

 

 

[spoiler=Intent]To give Pyro monsters, a distinguished Floater/Tuner.

 

 

[spoiler=Edit Log]Just recently: Made it into a Plant instead of a Pyro.

Volcanic Agnimazud new meta.

Make it a Dinosaur so Lost World can pop it from the Deck, becomes searchable by Oviraptor, Miscellaneousaurus and Fossil Dig, and further supports True Dino variants. Also would be a better Aeolo.

If you make it search for a FIRE instead, also it would be able to grab Miscellaneousaurus, but searching for an Attribute may be too good, IDK.

Huh I forgot about Agnimazud... I wonder why.... That actually sounds like some exceptionally explosive play with this to give to Pyros. I actually want to keep it solely for Pyros even more considering they are still a garbage typing that needs more to work with. Dinos already had their fun. :P And not to mention, I don't even know how I can make its current concept in mind relate to dinosaurs nor do I want to.

 

Attribute search maybe too much IMO. I don't know I have to look up FIRE's again to see if I really want to do that.

Agreed. Better keep it this way. Besides, wouldn't want Aeolo to lose its niche.

My only nitpick is the typing since FIRE/Pyro is so straightforward, but it really can't be helped in this case because of the Pyro support. Unless you make it DARK as a reference to its ghostly nature, and that also would kill the sinergy with Agnimazud, although I wouldn't be concerned about that.

Yeah Pyro sadly started out as a Typing that benefited more in a fixed Attribute and theme... I suppose could I break the motif. But I feel I want to do it to future Pyros  I decide to make and just have this thing stay with its already established niche. Besides, if I changed the Attribute it would not only miss out an Agnimazud, but Rekindling ( http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Rekindling ) as well.

Oh yeah, Rekindling and other FIRE 200 DEF support. FIRE/Pyro is alright, then.

By the way, you may want to exclude the monster from searching itself, otherwise it could enable silly plays, from foddering multiple effects that involve a destruction, to getting the copies in the GY for a Rekindling play.

I know burn damage is often looked down upon (some cards Limited or straight up banned). But given the Type and lack of support they get, I don't think it would cause too much harm. Volcanics are really the only pure Pyro archetype. Laval has some Pyro monsters too, but I'm not sure if it'd be enough to add this in. It'd feel more at home with Volcanics. Especially since their niche is burn damage.

Another silly idea is making it a Plant, since it's a ghost pepper, and there is something funny about a Plant searching for a Pyro xD

Not to mention it would combo with toys like Fragrance Storm.

 

Oh right, this would burn by up to 1900 or so because of monsters like Volcanic Rocket. IDK if that's a bit too much. How about burning by a value multiplied by the monster's Level instead? Something like 300 x Level maybe? What way the maximum would be a more acceptable 1200.

Funny thing with the Plant thing in mind is that Lonefire http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Lonefire_Blossom is also a Plant/FIRE... With that in mind, this could make some weird Pyro/Plant Hybrid builds with  Circle of the Fire Kings ( http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Circle_of_the_Fire_Kings ). I just might implement that. XD It sounds fun.
