Lyoko386's Custom Cards - Chapter 1

I have decided to make a new set of cards with their own type and style. I have decided to name them 'Ancients'. As of yet, I have only made the following cards, and have not given them pictures due to their style. Tell me what you think.

Nice cards when u get to lvl 7 and onwords they become a bit Over Powerd but anyway i fount some mistakes on the effects of the cards i am going to tell u them.

When this card's effect is activated this card gains 800 ATK and DEF until the End Phase.

LV12
I will Edit LV12 later i am getting bored doing this lol :D

Thanks, although the way I wrote the Special Summon after Effect was on purpose, since you could use the Effect, but have it canceled. Also, I am perfectly aware that they get somewhat overpowered when they reach the higher levels, which is why I tried to make it a pain in the ass to summon them. Thanks for the input, though, it did help.

LV 7 and up are a bit to oped...... at least make LV 7 harder to bring out like say this

lv5 can special summon lv 7 instead of lv 7 summoning it self

like say this

after you use this effect succesfuly 3 times during the end phase you can tribute this card to specail summon ancient swords man lv 7 from your hand or deck

makes LV 7 a bit harder to bring out :/

Pictures should be a mix of Ancient gear, Six Samurai, ninja. could start off with kid half golem half samurai, gets older and added element should be fire/ fire sword or fire gear sword.
Stages: kid, teen, adult, mystic/old person, statue
