Recommended Posts

Attribute: Dark
Type: Spellcaster/Effect/Link
ATK:1000 LINK RATING:?

Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set,except by it's own effect. Banish 1 other Link Monster in your Extra Deck and send materials stated on the banished monster, Special Summon this card from your deck(This is treated as a link summon). When summoned this way: Declare This card's Link Arrow up to the amount of the banished monster's link rating and if you do this card becomes the name of the banished monster and it's effect is replaced with the banished monster's. When this card leaves the field: Return the banished Link Monster back to the extra deck

I'm pretty sure that this card would be accepted in Casual. This might be a new effect or mechanic, but it's not too different. Anyways:

 

Infinity, the Grand Navigator

DARK

Spellcaster/Link/Effect

LINK–? - 2500 / ?

Cannot be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, except by its own effect. You can banish 1 other Link monster in your Extra Deck and send cards from hand, Deck or field to the GY, equal to the Link Rating of the banished monster; Special Summon this card from the Extra Deck (this is treated as a Link Summon). When Summoned this way: Declare the directions of this card's Link Arrows, up to the Link Arrow amount of the banished Link monster, and if you do, this card's name becomes that monster's, and replace this effect with that monster's original effect.

 

Now, I like the idea; the plan was executed poorly. This card is extremely overpowered, considering how it can literally Summon itself as any 2500 ATK Link–4 monster you choose, by using monster from your hand, field, and Deck as the Link Materials to Summon this card from the Extra Deck. You also get to pick out where the Link Arrows point to. Now, remember, this all for the cost of banishing the original Link monster from your Extra Deck. This card is absolutely broken.

 

Of course, I still do like the idea that you have going on in this card. Here is an edit that will hopefully make the card more modest:

 

Infinity, the Grand Navigator

DARK

Spellcaster/Link/Effect

LINK–? - 1000 / ?

Cannot be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, except by its own effect. Once per turn: You can banish 1 other Link monster you control or in your Extra Deck and send cards from your field to the GY, equal to the Link Rating of the banished monster; Special Summon this card from the Extra Deck (this is treated as a Link Summon). When Summoned this way: Declare the directions of this card's Link Arrows, up to the Link Arrow amount of the banished Link monster, and if you do, this card's name becomes that monster's, and replace this effect with that monster's original effect.

 

I'll allow you to be the judge as to whether you will take my advice for the card or not, but if you take advantage of the this card's ability to Special Summon itself as another monster and change the directions of the Link Arrows, it will allow for some effective combos regarding effects that interact with Link Arrows.

Agreed with smily, the card is insane, in an unfair way. It's effectively a free Link monster and it lets you mill key cards for big plays. As if that wasn't enough, it gains the effects of the banished Link so you can shortcut into big, dangerous one not only by skipping costs, but gaining more stuff from the mills.

 

smily's version is much more fair for sure. If there is anything I would change is making it a proper Link and giving it a material requirement, in which case would be 1 Link monster.

 

By the way, a better way to write "Link Arrow amount" is "Link Rating."

I like o_smiely's take on an errata. I'm not sure how much this matters but it might be able to have more ATK if you follow his advice. Maybe 2000-2500? Someone else would have to weigh in on how much that would help or if there is some link monster combo that would break it if it had 2500. Anyway, I was looking at this card and thought about art for it. I eventually came up with this render:

Feel free to use it as card art if you wish. Also feel free to edit it as you see fit e.g. change the background since I left the default background in rather then photo editing it to make it look better
