Forum:Card Car Trooper?

We all know about Card-Car D, but we all can't afford that. I propose a new alternative to this card. It's not as good as the car is, but it's close enough: Vortex Trooper.

Let's think about this real quick. Vortex Trooper does:

''When this card is Normal Summoned: You can shuffle 2 cards from your hand into the Deck, then draw 2 cards. When this card is destroyed: Draw 1 card.''

As opposed to Card-Car D, which does:

''Cannot be Special Summoned. During your Main Phase 1, if this card was Normal Summoned this turn: You can Tribute this card; draw 2 cards, then it becomes the End Phase of this turn. You cannot Special Summon during the turn you activate this effect.''

From the get-go, we can see some obvious advantages the each has over the other. Card-Car D is a +1 from the beginning; you're using one card to draw two cards, similar to Pot of Greed. However, it ends your turn automatically and you can't SS when you use it, similar to Pot of Duality. Vortex Trooper takes time to be effective. When you NS it, you can return useless cards back into your deck and drawing two cards, being a -1 (or a 1-for-1, depending on how you look at it). When it's destroyed, you draw a whole new card, that's a 1-for-1 for there.

Card-Car D is pretty useless in the graveyard. You can't SS it and it's only useful to be returned or as a DARK in the graveyard. Vortex Trooper CAN be SS if you want it that much (a combination with Debris Dragon with Trooper's 0 ATK?). Also, with the rise of good Rank 3 Xyz monsters, Vortex Trooper can be used as a material for one of them, being Level 3.

Can Vortex Trooper replace Card-Car D? It really matters to the deck you're wanting to build and what you want to. Personally, if you really want a Card-Car D but can't afford it, you might want to look at Vortex Trooper. Hey, it's a Battle Pack card and a SE Super Rare, it should be a lot easier to find and a lot cheaper than the car.
