Description Well, I know some people are really mad since Konami is pushing Link monsters down on everyone.
At least most OCG Players are about to explode because next month, this month's cards are basically useless.

I know, this was for slowing the game sake. But I don't think everyone liked this solution.

So I thought about this concept. There would be Pure Link monsters (all blue frame) and other halfs (just like pendulum).


Despair Linker (DARK)
[Psychic/Synchro/Link/Effect]

This card is treated as a Level 5 monster. You cannot Link or Synchro Summon this card. You must send 1 Tuner and 1 or more non-Tuner monsters you control whose total Level's are 5 to Special Summon this card. Once per turn: You can target 1 Linked monster your opponent controls; if that monster's Level/Rank is 4 or more or it is Link 3 or less, destroy it. Once per turn: You can Synchro Summon without linking to this card.

ATK 2000 LINK 2

Ruilings:
- You cannot Link Summon this card by using 2 monsters. This card's LINK is only used for Link Summoning other monsters.



So... what you guys think about it?

So it's a Link monster that works like a synchro summon?

"You cannot Link or Synchro Summon this card." Uh... "You must send 1 Tuner and 1 or more non-Tuner monsters you control whose total Level's are 5 to Special Summon this card." Yeah, that's called a Synchro Summon.  That's exactly how Synchro Summoning works, so saying it can't be Synchro Summoned and then showing its summoning method to basically be a Synchro Summon is kind of redundant.  Also, your Link Rating is wrong: the Link Rating has to be the same as the number of active Link Markers on the card, so since this card has three Link Markers, it should be Link 3, not Link 2.  If you don't want it to be Synchro Summoned using materials from the Hand or somewhere other than the Field, just specify that it cannot be summoned by effects that let you use cards that are not on the Field as Synchro material.

Check Ultimaya.

"Cannot be Synchro Summoned . Must be Special Summoned (from your Extra Deck ) by sending 2 Level 5 or higher monsters you control with the same Level to the Graveyard (1 Tuner and 1 non-Tuner), and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways."
Cannot be Synchro Summoned, despite being a Synchro Monster. It does not have a Level, despite requiring 2 materials whose levels sum up to 12.

I know about the rating, but I posted this card about a month prior the release of Link Summoning so I kinda didn't understood it how it was supposed to work

FlareKyn In reply to kyokugenpunch [2019-04-15 02:39:21 +0000 UTC]

Uh, no, they don't need to sum up to level 12.  It's 2 Level 5 or higher monsters you control whose levels are the same as each other's (one Tuner and one non-Tuner).  That means the total level of the cards tribute to summon it can be any even number from 10 to 24, meaning unlike a Synchro Summon, the monsters used to summon it can be below or above Ultimaya's level.  And there's no level stars, yes, but its card text says it's original level is 12 (still don't get why they did it that way).  In the case of your card, though, your monster's summoning conditions is literally Synchro Summoning, using 1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuners whose total level is equal to the same level your card has due to its card text (only in your case it's understandable to have its original level stated in the text because there's no room for level stars).

I've made somewhat similar logic errors in the past, so I can understand where you're coming from, but it's a good idea to double or even triple check the things you're talking about before you talk about them.  Sometimes that means re-reading the ENTIRE card text, not just a specific part of it.

kyokugenpunch In reply to FlareKyn [2019-04-16 18:43:00 +0000 UTC]

Ultimaya's summoning condition is literally synchro summoning too, and they still wanted to make it a Special Summon.
Masked HEROes are Fusion Monsters that are Special Summoned by a Spell card that does not fusion them.

It's not because it's a Synchro Monster that it needs to be Synchro Summoned. It's not because it's a Fusion Monster that it must be Fusion Summoned. You can Pendulum Summon an Xyz monster, or just overlay one on top of another to Xyz Summon again even though you're not using monsters with the same level.

It's called exploring a game mechanic, and it's something Yu-Gi-Oh has always done

FlareKyn In reply to kyokugenpunch [2019-04-16 21:49:12 +0000 UTC]

No, it's not, because Synchro Summoning requires that the total level of the materials to be equal to the original level of the summoned monster, which Ultimaya's text states its original level is 12, and its summoning allows the total level of the tributes to be 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, or 24!  That is not a Synchro Summon!

Pendulum Summon Xyz monsters... only if the Xyz monster in question is a Pendulum monster itself and is face-up in the Extra Deck.  Before then, it NEEDS to be properly Xyz summoned, and their card text tells you the conditions for Pendulum Summoning it.  Same goes for all the other Extra Deck monsters that are also Pendulum monsters: they need to be properly summoned from face-down in their Extra Deck before they can be Pendulum Summoned, only Fusion and Synchro monsters don't need to specify their Pendulum Summoning conditions in their card text because they have Levels (if a Link Pendulum monster ever gets made, it'll need the Pendulum Summon condition in its text just like Xyz Pendulum monsters).  As for the methods of using Xyz monsters to Xyz summon, guess what: that's called using card effects, whether it be a Spell or the effect of the material or summoned Xyz monster, 'cause using Xyz monsters as material without any card effects is impossible.  Also, there are some Pendulum monsters that can't be Pendulum Summoned from the Extra Deck, which is also a card effect.

What you this card's text is saying is literally "Hey, this card can't be Synchro Summoned, but you have to Synchro Summon it, and here's how."

kyokugenpunch In reply to FlareKyn [2019-04-16 23:36:13 +0000 UTC]

You seem to forget that it's also a Link monster, which requires you to send monsters from the field to the GY for it to be summoned.

It was up to me to decide if I wanted to treat as a synchro or link summon, yet I decided to treat as none and call it a specia summon.

You're missing again the whole point of the concept that it's a card made of two halves of other existing mechanics. Try not to think whatever-we-have-printed-wise for a second and maybe you'll understand it.

FlareKyn In reply to kyokugenpunch [2019-04-16 23:51:10 +0000 UTC]

"Whatever-we-have-printed-wise"?  What?  No seriously, what?  It's part Synchro.  And yes, I know Synchro monsters that can't be Synchro Summoned exist, the problem is that the listed summoning method is exactly the same as one of the summoning methods you say cannot be used, especially since the card text states that its original level is exactly the same as the total level of the monsters used to summon it, and it requires a single Tuner and at least one non-Tuner, which is exactly how Synchro Summoning works.  Also, you know both Link Summoning and Synchro Summoning are forms of Special Summoning, right?  So are Fusion Summoning and Xyz Summoning.

Of course, as I type of this reply, I realize that doing it that way could get around effects that specify Synchro Summoning, but to be honest, that's kind of the only benefit for it, and in a way it also hurts it, 'cause you can't use Urgent Tuning to summon it during the Battle Phase.  But, whatever, do what you want.

Edit: SERIOUSLY?!  You block me because of an argument about a card's summoning conditions, even when in the end I ended up just saying to do whatever because I found a legitimate argument for your side that you never brought up?!  Wow, you need to grow a backbone.  And yes, I can still edit my comment even though you blocked me.  And yeah, it may have lasted for a bit, but it was over!  I wasn't going to keep arguing because of reasons I stated above!

I guess it was only a temporary block after all, so I guess I overreacted.  Sorry.

Pokelord991 [2017-03-14 12:02:46 +0000 UTC]

Nice card. I got a couple of tidbit questions though. So, you need a level 5 Tuner and at least 1 level 5 non-Tuner monster to summon this card?

Since this card is a Synchro and a Link monster, where would it go on the field?

Also, how did you make this card? Its amazing how well you made it. But TCG Editor doesn't have anything like this.

Thank you!
Well, you need to send a Tuner and non-tuner monsters until the total Level of those monsters is 5. Unlike Ultimaya, the Levels don't need to be the same.
If you don't have a monster in your Extra Monster Zone, it would go on it, otherwise, it would go on a linked monster zone

I made it in Photoshop using a Synchro monster frame and a link monster one pretty simple, just erased down the Synchro bottom part.

Pokelord991 In reply to kyokugenpunch [2017-03-15 19:36:43 +0000 UTC]

Ah, I see. So like regular synchro summoning then.

Ok, so same rules apply like normal for a Link monster, or any monster from the Extra Deck.

Pretty good job then. Nice! ^w^b

Ironicaly, I JUST commented on your other link monster post about this. Here's the thing i put:

I found something on the Link Summoning Mega Thread.
It's pretty interesting, and if they DID copy off your Nexus Monster idea, you should do this:

Will Link Monsters Evolve Too?

I wonder, if after a good year or two, could we start to see Link Fusion, Link Synchro and Link XYZ?

Just imagine that.

They could be a mixture of each type, similar to Pendulum Fusion, Synchro, XYZ etc, able to be summoned by their usual Extra Deck way or a Link summon, based and depending on their specific requirements to do so.

For example; you could have the option to Fusion summon a "Gem-Knight Link Fusion monster", which would open up your Extra deck, by fusion summon using Gem-Knight Fusion. The monster would be a blend between Link (Blue) and Fusion (Purple), similar to Pendulum blends.


copied directly from www.reddit.com/r/yugioh/commen…

And my idea for a Link Pendulum monster:
So, their main function would be to get them into the pendulum zone as soon as possible. Since the bottom left and bottom right s/t zones become pendulum zones when pendulum cards are set in them, if a Link Pendulum is set in them...

You can use linked s/t zones as ED monster zones.

Pretty sweet idea, huh?
