You can only use the (2)nd effect of this card’s name once per turn.
(1) If this card battles a monster, neither can be destroyed by that battle.
(2) If you take battle or effect damage: You can Special Summon 1 Level 3 or higher Illusion monster from your hand or GY, or, if you took 2000 or more damage, you can Special Summon it from the Deck or Extra Deck instead.

This will either do nothing or be absolutely broken, depends on how people cook with it
BROKEN
This card has a lot of potential.
self inflicting 2k of EFFECT damage is not easy, almost no card does that without a lot of set up. and even if they print an easy 2k self-burn, it is an asheable two card combo.
might as well not play cards at all which actually sounds like good advise
the card alow battle damage to get the 2000 damge eff so it should be good going second
Idk I feel like of my opponent is hitting me in the face for 2000+ damage they have either removed this or I’m going to die. Leaving a 900 attack monster that can’t be destroyed by battle in attack position sounds like a really good way to get psychic end punished tbh
@Joshua Schmidt it’s a good thing it’s a 900 ATK Illusion monster during a time when the average statline for a lot of endboard pieces is 3000.
Wasn’t there a new equip that dealt 2k dmg to both players, recently?
Now I can be wrong but this should be able to summon Hecatoncheire Xeno which would be very bad if you can just splash that into any deck with a small illusion package 🙃
Issue is you need to take 2000 damage to use the effect. So your opponent needs to have a 2900 Atk monster, you need to summon this to the board and then you need to not have it negated or destroyed before it can crash into something
This card and the equip card that does burn damage to both players if a extra deck monster is summoned could bring out that hecatoncheire xeno monster
This definitely does something, you just have to burn yourself. I don’t know how or what, but there is something here.
Millennium engine anyone?
milleniums have you pay LP not take damage
Lawyer game zzz
An Illusion tuner is nice.
Pretty sure she is meant to be a sidekick just like Gagaga Girl and DMG, not a female version of Tao
What is up with konami making secondary archetypes of already existing ones, to nerf them, just to repeatedly give them the most insane and unhinged support cards shortly after
Happened with wyrm, happened with cyberse, and is very much happening with illusion
