Insert Name Here wrote:This is a Custom Card Game, so what's stopping me from introducing a new card type. Absolutely nothing.

So here it is, the Hybrids. Hybrid cards are monsters, but used a little bit differently than normal ones. Instead of being summoned normally to your monster card zone, they're place in the S/T zone. You can however place them in your monster card zone by activating the requirement on the card (The requirement can only be activated on the Field, NO WHERE ELSE!!!!!!!!!1!!111111). They can be Summoned during either player's Main Phase, but you can only Summon up to 2 a turn. You cannot Synchro, or Xyz Summon until your next End Phase after they're Summoned, unless the card states otherwise. Tribute Summons are fair game. If you flip a Hybrid monster face-up, it is sent directly to the s/t zone. The same idea applies to Special Summons.
Can you set them in a monster zone, but when they're flipped, they then go to s/t?

Example of a Hybrid:
Generic Hybrid
Divine-Beast/Hybrid
You can pay 1 Life Point to Place this card in your Monster Card Zone. While this card is in your monster card zone, it gains the following effect: This card can attack directly.
So there, now that we got that out of the way, heres some actual generic Hybrids

Dylan W. wrote:Question... Is there a limit to how many you can put in the S/T zone per turn? and does their level matter?

Here is my idea on Ruling:

There is no limit to how many Hybrid monsters you can add to the field per turn. Hybrid monsters enter the field face down on the S/T zone and have to stay face down like traps. Then they can be flipped (their flipping is counted as the activation of a trap and can be chained or destroyed as if a spell or trap): when they leave the S/T zone its a SS. Once on the field they are no longer treated as Spells or Traps. (unless they have an effect to be returned to the S/T zone)

Darkest Hour wrote:So like, if you attack a Hybrid Monster, it returns to the S/T zones. How do you destroy them by battle if they always return?
They return to the s/t zone only when they are initially placed on the field, so battles play out like normal, unless you set one face-down on the field.

So if you Normal Summon a Hybrid Monster, and it goes to the S/T Zone, does that count as Normal Summoning it or just using your Normal Summon to place it in the S/T Zone?
It will take up your normal summon

If it's effect(s) are negated while face-up in a Monster Card Zone, does it still function like a Hybrid Monster?
The effect will be negated, but it still has the hybrid function

A Monster in the S/T Zone can't be removed from the field, so it cannot be destroyed by cards that destroy Spell or Trap Cards, or Monster cards? How do you get rid of them then?
by destroying them when they are in the monster card zone
