>Kapeeshwara, Lord of the Apes

>WIND/Beast/Level 6/2600 ATK/1800 DEF

>During the Main Phase, if your opponent controls a monster(s) (Quick Effect): You can send 2 Level 7 or higher Beast monsters with different names from your hand or Deck to the GY; Special Summon this card from your hand, also you cannot Special Summon for the rest of this turn, except Beast monsters. When this card is Summoned: You can pay 1000 LP; destroy all face-up monsters. If this face-up card is destroyed: You can Special Summon 1 Level 7 or higher Beast monster from your hand or GY. You can only activate each effect of "Kapeeshwara, Lord of the Apes" once per turn.

Explanation:

One of my very first decks when playing YGO was Beast/Beast Warrior Beatdown with Enraged Battle Ox and Berserk Gorilla, so I was very happy when Green Baboon was released. For a few weeks before it started getting hit in the banlist. Sadly by the time it got unrestricted it was no longer nearly as good. This is meant to be its revengeance, but it should actually be fairly good with Nemleria and maaaybe Ursarctic too. Ursarctic does use Beast Warriors too.

You are getting a double foolish so I think the Beast restriction is necessary. Although maybe I could extend it to Beast Warriors as well, but it'd be the only "Baboon" to support Beast Warriors.

The Dark Hole effect and on-destruction trigger are fairly obvious. They are meant to interrupt the opponent's plays and revive Baboon and Carpiponica setting up some Rank 7 play next turn.

The card is Level 6 because it was the easiest way for me to make the wording of the revival and dumping short and also keep the card from dumping or reviving copies of itself.

Kapeeshwara is a name for Hanuman or an aspect of Hanuman as Lord of Monkeys. I thought it was somewhat fitting.

>Adana, Golem Waker

>EARTH/Spellcaster - Synchro/Level 5/1600 ATK/2400 DEF

>1 EARTH Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner monster

>Monsters equipped with cards you control cannot be destroyed by card effects. Twice per turn, when an Equip Spell Card(s) is equipped to this face-up card: You can Special Summon 1 "Golem Token" (Rock/EARTH/Level 6/ATK 2400/DEF 2400), and if you do, equip it with 1 Equip Spell card equipped to this card. During the Main Phase (Quick Effect): Send any number of Equip Spells you control to the GY; inflict damage to your opponent equal to the number of cards sent to the GY to activate this effect *800, and if you do, send all monsters your opponent controls with ATK equal or less than the damage inflicted to the GY. You can only activate this effect of "Adana, Golem Waker" once per turn.

I wanted to make a "factory" card that summoned Tokens when Equipped and I did not quite want to go with Machines since the type is so supported, so I decided to go with a "Golem Maker" instead. The equips are transfered to the Golem to discourage using them as mere Link fodder a little, and also because I figured that flavourfuly the Golem creator needed to "gift" something to the Golem to impart the gift of live. The continuous protection is also meant to discourage using the Golems as pure fodder too, but is still friendly to a large board of equipped monsters. The boardbreaking interruption is meant to be the Golems throwing their weapons to the opponent so it has a bit of a "siege engine" flavor. The golem creation is a soft twice per turn because I wanted it to be the main point of the card and what encourages using Equip Spells the most, so I am fine if it is exploited a little by reviving the card.

Adana is a male version of the name Adam and Adam was a human made of clay, so she is meant to be a mythological twist on the creation myth.

>Inzektor Mobile Command

>Field Spell

>During the Main Phase, you can activate the effects of equipped Insect Xyz monsters that activate by detaching Xyz materials, as Quick Effects. You can target up to 2 face-up Insect Xyz monster(s) you control; Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 Insect monster that is 1 Rank higher than the combined ranks of the target(s) by using them as the Xyz Material. (This Special Summon is treated as an Xyz Summon. Xyz Materials attached to it also become Xyz Materials on the Summoned monster.) You can discard 1 Insect monster; Special Summon 1 "Inzektor" monster from your Deck. You can only use each effect of "Inzektor Mobile Command" once per turn.

My original idea for pushing Equips was making an Xyz monster that enabled any other Xyz monster to activate its effects that deattach materials by sending equips equipped to the Xyz monster to the GY instead, and it was also going to be able to equip Inzektors you control with Inzektors from your Deck, but I really struggled wording the first effect and equipping Inzektors with Inzektors seemed to go against the spirit of encouraging Equip Spells to be played. Plus, of course there is always the lingering fear of discards becoming Quick Effects.

So I decided to make it exclusive for Insect Xyz since there doesn't seem to be much that would break the game but there is still a decent variety of boardwipes, negates and gy hate within Xyz Insects.

Then the card was changed to be a Field Spell because I felt that Inzektors needed help even getting their combos started nowadays and the OG card design of Rank 3 Inzektor would have probably been one of those "better in other decks" cards. And also I wanted to make the Big Spiders easier to bring out.

Presumably Inzektors would also get an Equip Spell that can be equipped to any Insect monster with the wave of support so that Ravenous Tarantula can be equipped with something more archetype relevant.
