Forum:New Idea for game mechanic: Specter Summoning

Specter Summoning

This type of Summoning functions similar to that of pendulum Summoning and xyz monsters. Specter monsters can be summoned two different methods depending on were the materials were located at the time of summon. To Specter summon you use the materials located in the graveyard. When Specter monsters are summoned in this manner they seal the graveyard. This means that you flip your graveyard (sometimes your opponent's graveyard) upside down, and then place the monster face-up on top of the graveyard. While a graveyard is sealed cards can be added to it, but instead all cards are banished. Specter monsters, as shown in the images, can have various effects while they are sealing the graveyard. The materials utilized to specter summon are added facedown to the extra deck. The other method specter monster can be summoned utilizes monsters who are banished as materials. Once again the materials are added to the extra deck face-down. Monsters special summoned by this method are summoned to the field either in attack or defense position face-up. The monster's specter effect does not activate when summoned this method. If the specter monster was also an effect monster, then if summoned by this method it can use its effect.

I posted a few sample specter monster ideas as well. The images on the cards are place holders until I finish their actual images. Please email me any questions or ideas to mellott_jordan@hotmail.com.
