◄1                      1►

[ Pendulum Effect ]

While there is a Continuous Spell/Trap Card on the Pendulum Zone, that card is also treated as a Pendulum Card with a Pendulum Scale of 7. "The Weather" Effect Monsters in your Main Monster Zone of this card's column and adjacent columns gain this effect.

• You can banish this card (Quick Effect); Special Summon 1 "The Weather Token" (Fairy/DARK/Level 3/ ATK 0/ DEF/ 0).

[ Monster Effect ]

You can return 1 face-up Continuous Spell/Trap you control to the hand; place 1 "The Weather" Spell/Trap from your hand  or GY to your Spell & Trap Zone. You can only use this effect of "The Weather Painter Fog" once per turn. Once per turn, during the Standby Phase of the turn after this card was banished from the field to activate a "The Weather" card's effect: You can Special Summon this banished card.

[spoiler=Intent]To give Weather Painters a Pendulum Scale that would help them swarm a bit faster to make The Weather Painter Rainbow

You know when you see something you realize you've always wanted but never known about?

That's this card.

 

The idea behind making a Pendulum for Weather Painters goes well with the fact that the main 3 zones already grant effects to all of your main monsters. True, you are losing an additional effect for 2 zones, but you never place it there unless you have to, and you always have the opposite side of the S/T zones. The monster effect is a tad boring, but it has its uses if you want to Pendulum Summon with it. Speaking of Pendulum Summoning, it is the perfect way to buff the archetype, as they struggle building up the strong field required to full take advantage of their Spell/Trap Cards. Also, turn 1 Level 6, anyone?

My only concern is that the Token Summoning is perhaps a tad too good, but it only applies to 2 monsters max, and you are losing a potential negator/searcher/whatever you want to do with your other Spell/Trap Cards. So yeah, almost certainly alright.

A bit confused at the Pendulum effect. it becomes Scale 7 alright, but since the other scale is 0 because it's a Continuous Spell... how are you supposed to Pendulum Summon? Or the intent is not to?

"While there is a Continuous Spell/Trap Card on the Pendulum Zone, that card is also treated as a Pendulum Card with a Pendulum Scale of 7."

 

Well the intent is that Continuous Spell/Trap in the the Pendulum Zone gains what you wouldn't naturally see in the game, a Scale, which is the 7 I am referring to.  And, this card itself keeps its Scale 1.

Ah I see. I read as this card becoming Scale 7, which made no sense to me if there wasn't another scale xD

Looks good in general, then. Can't say much since I'm no expert on Weatheries. IDK what exactly they want or need.
