Greetings, everyone!

This will be my first post on this forum, so please let me know if there's anything I can do to improve my posts in the future (making it easier to read, shortening card text, etc,).  Also, while I am well-versed in PSCT and have no shortage of card ideas, I lack the skills and time to create the card artwork for many of these cards.  If you have an image which you believe fits the cards I post, I would REALLY appreciate it if you shared it with me.  I can't give you money for it, but I'll definitely give you a shout-out with a post of the image on the card with your profile name in place of the serial number.  With that out of the way, let's dive in to these new cards!

Reserve Squad (Continuous Spell)

Once per turn, you can activate one of the following effects:

• Target 1 non-Effect monster in your GY; place it on the bottom of the Deck, and if you do, draw 1 card.
• Reveal 1 non-Effect monster in your hand; place it on the bottom of the Deck, and if you do, draw 2 cards.

You can banish this card from your GY; Special Summon 1 non-Effect monster from your GY.  You can only use this effect of "Reserve Squad" once per turn.

 

Goblin Underdog (Link-1 Monster)

DARK Warrior

Link Arrow: Bottom

Attack: 1000

1 non-Effect monster, except a Token

If this card is Special Summoned:  You can Set 1 "Squad" Spell/Trap card, "Heart of the Underdog", or "Common Charity" directly from your Deck.  (Quick Effect): You can Tribute this card; you take no damage this turn.  During your Main Phase, except the turn this card was sent to the GY: You can send 1 Spell/Trap card you control to the GY; Special Summon this card from the GY, and if you do, it gains a Link Arrow pointing to the right.

 

I imagine these cards being based on the goblin series of Yugioh cards which appear on Supply Squad and Backup Squad, with Goblin Underdog dressing up like underdog from Common Charity and Heart of the Underdog.  I've always admired slow, Normal Monster-oriented control strategies, such as Dino Rabbit and Pacifis Control, so I designed these cards with those in mind.  If you ever brick with a vanilla (including the legendary Garnet), you can summon it, link into Goblin Underdog, search Reserve Squad, then return the vanilla you used to the bottom of your deck for a free draw.  Alternatively, if you have Reserve Squad in hand already, you can return a dead card for 2 free cards instead, hopefully  to draw a Rescue Rabbit or other play starter.  In either case, Reserve Squad is a +1 in card advantage while Goblin Underdog can help you survive your opponent's turn if you open bad turn 1.  Coincidentally, there's a Normal Trap called Ballista Squad, which offers a minor disruption if you're willing to run it (I literally had no idea it existed before doing my research to make these cards).

So what did you think? Too balanced, too broken?  Feel free to share your ideas in the comments!  Also, if you have an image that fits these cards, please let me know and I will upload the card with your name in the serial number slot.

Thanks for reading! Stay tuned for more exciting Yugioh cards in the future.  Above all else, just remember to be creative.
