Parasitic Muka Muka

EARTH | Rock/Union/Effect | Level 2

ATK: 600, DEF: 300

"Once per turn, you can either: Target 1 EARTH monster you control; equip this card to that target, OR: Unequip this card and Special Summon it. A monster equipped with this card gains 300 ATK and DEF for every card in the opponent's hand, also if the equipped monster would be destroyed by battle or card effect, destroy this card instead."

 

[Was trying to put together a workable Muka Muka deck. Didn't have any luck, but I felt like making a quick and simple card related to it. Might draw a card image later unless someone's got a good image for a rock...bug thing.]

Not quite the stellar card. Has standard Union equip and protection effects, Level 2 kind of can work with Doki Doki in a deck full of Level 2 Rocks an Block Dragon to search for 4 cards with the latter's effect, but it just provides a situational ATK/DEF boost. It can be improved. Take a look at the ABC Unions as reference, which in addition to the typical Union effects, they come with a "If sent to the GY" a.k.a. floating effect. You could try something like that.

I did have another idea in mind to add to the effect, though I was worried it would make the text too long or break the card.

"Once per turn while you control this equipped card: You can send 1 card on the field to its owners' hand."

or something to that effect. Bump an opponent's card back to their hand, which has the side effect of automatically giving the equipped monster a free 300 ATK and DEF.

If it's Muka Muka, wouldn't you want it to be from your hand? And give it an effect that helps you maintain your hand size, even when equipping this card? It definitely needs at least 1 effect that helps you keep that stat boost relevant (although let's be honest: 2019 YGO? stats hardly matter).
