Breathing Life Into The Cards

So, life-gains and resurrection stuffs are pretty dang weak. A deck using life-gain would almost always be better to use a FMV or just another monster. Sure, there's a little possibility for a turn-around when your opponent only attacks with just enough attack to kill you, and then you use the spell... but that doesn't usually happen, and you usually don't have monsters to attack THEM with afterwards.

Likewise, the spells that put cards back into your hand are of nil use. Rebuild- Doctor Bakuga, for TWO gray more, puts, say, M-Sword on the field, saving you TEN dark. Now, he's not particurarly overpowered, so where's the use in Rebuild? Same with Ressurection (Life puts them into play at half their mana cost, AND can do it just before your turn so they're basically speed summon). Lucky Save? You just let yourself get hit, and now you have to re-play the monster again.

So they need balanced, and bad.

Gift of Life: Raise life gain to 65. This'll at least protect against a winged golem hit with a little net gain, whereas for 2[Image: lmana.gif] you could dizzy it, which has more utility in the first place. (For instance, dizzying a wall so they can't block your ginourmous Argent.)

Space Burrito: Either reduce cost to 2[Image: dmana.gif]2[Image: lmana.gif]2[Image: gmana.gif], or raise life gain, to, say, 100. See statement above...except that you could DESTROY a monster for less mana than this costs.

Apple: Few people want to use an effect slot for anything but mana. The only exceptions are powerful effects such as Swimsuit, N/G, or Diplomacy. Fewer people use this than Gift of Life, because it essentially costs 2 more mana (since you're missing a gen), takes a turn to use, AND is vulnerable to effect/entity D. You don't even get the surprise value that Gift of Life gives you. I suggest a 3:lmana; cost.

Rebuild, Lucky Save, and Ressurection: I suggest making it so these three spells give you 1/3 of the mana of the card you just returned back. This'll still probably leave Rebuild inferior to Bakuga, but it'll still have it's uses. Same with Ressurection (well, actually, Life would STILL own it), and Lucky Save (FMV? So much better.)
