Forum:Reverse Nerf--Change is Coming?!

With the upcoming generosity of Konami, them potentially re-releasing banned or threatening cards, I would like to propose this concept. Seeing as "Dark Strike Fighter" and "Catapult Turtle" are returning with "once per turn" clauses, it is obvious that Konami wishes to correct past/future mistakes. Maybe, this generosity can extend from weakening cards...to boosting them? Now, I know this is pure optimism, but they have that power. And, this is what this discussion is about: realistic (and possibly some hopeful) ways to repair past mistakes. Let us start off with two well-remembered cards from the anime that just didn't make the cut..."The Seal of Orichalcos" and "The Winged Dragon of Ra"... Thirteenth Chimera!!

The Seal and the God Unite!
"The Seal of Orichalcos" Field Spell When this card is activated: Destroy all Special Summoned monsters you control. All monsters you control gain 500 ATK. Once per turn, this card cannot be destroyed by card effects. While you control 2 or more face-up Attack Position monsters, your opponent cannot target your monster(s) with the lowest ATK for an attack. You cannot Special Summon monsters from your Extra Deck.
 * Besides rearranging some order, I did what this card always needed: removed the "once per Duel" clause. This card is just fine without it. "Mystical Space Typhoon" can stop it just fine by destroying it before it even hits the field. Actually, we could further improve it by removing both destruction effect and Extra Deck lock-out for a different destruction effect: "When this card is activated, OR a monster is Special Summoned to your side of the field: Destroy all Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz Monsters you control." This would essentially promote Pendulum Monsters, which are not native to the Extra Deck. In addition, the OPD clause could also stay, if it receives Super Polymerization-based protection as well: "Cards and effects cannot be activated in response to this card's activation."

"The Winged Dragon of Ra" (Divine-Beast-Type/DIVINE/Level 10/ATK ?/DEF ?) Requires 3 Tributes to Normal Summon (cannot be Normal Set). This card's Normal Summon cannot be negated. When Normal Summoned, other cards and effects cannot be activated. During the End Phase, if this card was Special Summoned: Send it to the Graveyard. When this card is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned: You can pay Life Points so that you only have 100 left; this card gains ATK and DEF equal to the amount of Life Points paid. You can pay 1000 Life Points, then target 1 monster on the field; destroy that target. If this card was Special Summoned, it gains this effect. ● Battle damage inflicted to your opponent by this card is halved.
 * In reality, I would completely alter the effect, but since this is minor alterations...I had to be light. I allowed Special Summoning. But, if it is Special Summoned, all damage is halved. Thirteenth Chimera!! (talk • contribs) 03:37, March 15, 2014 (UTC)
