Toxia Monster

Toxia (Japanese: Tokushiia) is a new monster type for the ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters'' card game created by Lyris1064. These monsters have 2 colors, with a visible, pink bubble emerging from the artwork of a lighter pink card frame; they are stored in the Extra Deck.

Toxia Monsters have a new indicator called the Potency Degree, which is aligned to the center of the card. Potency orbs are purple and have purple bubbles inside. Specific Potency Degrees are referred to as #th Degree Potency, or 1st/2nd/3rd Degree Potency for Potency Degrees lower than 4 (ポテンシ第#度).

Toxia Monsters can be Toxia Summoned for free, but their user's current hand size must not exceed their Potency Degree. The user's opponent cannot respond to a Toxia Summon unless they have fewer cards in their hand than the user themselves. Being bound to their user's LP, Toxia Summoned monsters cannot switch possession, but if Toxia Summoned monster is flipped face-down on the field, sent to the GY, or banished, their user immediately loses LP equal to the Toxia Multiplier of that monster multiplied by its Potency Degree.

Examples

 * Illusive Fang Toxia Dragon: 4th Degree Potency, 700x Toxia Multiplier
 * Players A has 3 cards in their hand and no cards on their field, and Player B has a Set "", "", "", and "" in their Spell & Trap Zone. Player A Toxia Summons "Illusive Fang Toxia Dragon".
 * Unless Player B has 2 or fewer cards in their hand at this time, or 1 if they resolved "" earlier in the turn, they cannot activate any of their Set Trap cards here.
 * Player A enters the Battle Phase.
 * Player B activates their Set "Raigeki Break", discarding 1 card and targeting "Illusive Fang Toxia Dragon", which is then destroyed and sent to the GY. Since their Toxia Summoned "Illusive Fang" was sent to the GY, Player A immediately loses 700 LP, their "Illusive Fang's" Toxia Multiplier, multiplied by 4, that monster's Potency Degree: 2800 LP.
 * Player B activates their Set "Book of Moon", targeting "Illusive Fang Toxia Dragon", which is then changed to face-down Defense Position. Since their Toxia Summoned "Illusive Fang" was flipped face-down, Player A immediately loses 700 LP, their "Illusive Fang's" Toxia Multiplier, multiplied by 4, that monster's Potency Degree: 2800 LP.
 * Player B activates their Set "Compulsory Evacuation Device", targeting "Illusive Fang Toxia Dragon", which is then returned to the Extra Deck due to not being able to exist in the hand. Nothing else happens since "Illusive Fang" is no longer on the field and was neither banished nor sent to the GY.

Rulings

 * If a Toxia Monster's Summon is negated, then nothing else happens since the Toxia Monster was therefore not Toxia Summoned.
