Crystal Beast Support

[HeadAdmin]

For an upcoming character of mine.

Name of card: Shepard of the Crystals

Attribute: Light

Level: 4

Appearance: A Hooded traveler adorned with what seems like many times of gems on one of his sleeves, and seemingly wields a spear whose sharp metal looks to be made out of a clear crystal. Behind him is Crystal Beast Topaz Tiger.

Type: Effect

Monster Type: Fairy

Effect: Once per turn, you may target 1 Crystal Beast in your graveyard or your hand: Banish it. At the end phase, place it face up in the spell/trap zone.
If this card is destroyed while it is in a Monster Card Zone, you can place it face-up in your Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Continuous Spell Card instead of sending it to the Graveyard. If this card is a continuous Spell Card, it's effect becomes:
* You may send this card from the field to the graveyard to special summon a Crystal Beast from the Spell & Trap Zone to the Monster zone.

Attack: 1000

Defense: 100

---

Name of card: Crystal Beast Soul Gem

Attribute: Light

Level: 10

Appearance: --

Type: Fusion

Monster Type: Beast

Effect: Two or more Crystal Beasts with different names.
This card can only be Special Summoned from your Extra Deck by returning the above cards from your side of the field in your spell & trap zone to the Deck. Only one Crystal Beast Soul Gem can be on your side of the field at a time. (You do not use "Polymerization".)
This card's attack is equal to the number of Crystal Beasts used to Fusion Summon this card X 1000. Once per turn, you may subtract 1000 attack and defense from this card for either of the following effects:
* Target one Crystal Beast monster in your graveyard. Special summon it, or place it face up in your spell & trap Zone.
* Destroy one face-up card on the field.

Attack: X

Defense: X

^Hai limited

I would like to see something more to this. As it stands it's a rather powerful effect. For starters no matter what happens I think it needs to be at least level 4 as it stands. Also I would like to see some sort of trade off for it's eff to keep it at just 4. For instance send one Crystal Beast from your Spell/Trap Zone to the grave.

It's not a crystal beast itself, and therefore doesn't count towards the crystal beast count for ruins, or for rainbow dragon, and it's lag time ensures that whatever you're wanting to do will have to wait. And it doesn't mean that whatever is banished is going to safely come back to the field, as Shepard could be destroyed before it does come to the end phase. It's effect changes, so the monster it brought out with it's effect would stay in limbo if shepard went to spell/trap zone.

Although it's level should probably be 4, yes, I doubt it needs much else done to it aside from probably lowering it's attack.
Edited.

Approved. I just wanted some trade off. I know the defense was low, but it was still powerful. Since you lowered it's attack it's fine now.
