I'm amazed that Pot of Dichotomy being a fair and solid card, can't find a place in most decks out there (I guess because it fits my idea of a fair and fun power level that's good, but that in the IRL current game is apparently too slow). It also reminds me of "The Seventh One" which gives you up to a 4500 ATK triple attacker that essentially negates the opponent entirely for the turn... and still doesn't see play.

Makes me question if this would be good as is, even though something inside me tells me it should have some sort of drawback to it.
I know it can be a pretty good +1 with a hand-fix property sparkled on top for anything that does all the consistency lifting via searching/recycling rather than via drawing, which is an increasingly common thing (off the top of my head I know Sky Strikers could use it well). Then again we have Desires and its variant that uses the Extra Deck instead (and I don't like using either of them but I'd certainly use this card) and they haven't done a ton of problems. There's also Pot of Avarice at 1 in Japan for the longest time and I find myself eager for the day they finally release that card on the TCG side.

All in all, I don't know... xD
Feels wrong, but doesn't look wrong. Haha...

Bonus points that it doesn't need a hard OPT clause because of the draw phase and "start of MP1" conditions, and that said conditions kind of discourage you from running many other straight up draw effects, if any, as to not risk dead drawing into this.

Yeah think only reasons why Dichotomy isn't used is because of its specific activation timing, and its specific requirement of set-up... Just too many things holding it back in the eyes of people who are primarily focused on the first few turns of the game...

I made this card more lenient on the magnitude of it solely because it is locked into only being able to use at such a specific time, and there is such an abrasive power creep  going on in the grand scheme of things. I use to have its effect Draw only 2, but I think the powercreep and the other good modern day Pots more than justify additional draws with reverse stacking.

This thing really has me thinking. It has a really good effect that is more than a mere draw 2 cards for a +1, but it's only live when you "hard draw" so it won't be safe to run along other card-drawing effects to go faster. So it either relies on luck or on topdeck stack strategies. I guess it would a fine card to run in decks that can drop Sarjuya and/or Phantazmay, or already rely on topdeck stacking and run cards like RUM- The 7th One and The True Name.

      If this card is sent from the hand or field to the GY: You can Ritual Summon 1 Non-Effect Ritual Monster from your Deck. This effect of "Angelfood" can only be used once per turn.

      The result of some drawing practice I felt like making into a full card. A pretty straightforward effect that's probably significantly more powerful than I imagine it to be. But hey, those dusty Performance of the Swords and Crab Turtles in your box of old cards deserve some love.

      Power Creep
      Trap Card
      Tribute 1 face-up monster on either side of the field: Its controller can Special Summon 1 monster from their hand or Deck with the same Type and Attribute and an ATK or DEF greater than the tributed card. Card effects cannot be activated for the rest of this turn, except for the effects of a monster Special Summoned by this card. You can only activate 1 "Power Creep" per turn.
       
      Spent a while trying to come up with an effect for the image. If you have any more fitting ideas, let me know.
