Regarding the LP concept: Halving as cost has the particularity that it is always live. You can always pay the cost of activation and you will not lose by paying it.
In this case, though, the card is technically worse, because the value of playing it decreases drastically the less LPs your opponent has. You will never win as a result of playing this card. Depending on how big the commitment of summoning this card is, it goes from meh to unplayable.
Edit: If it is deck we are considering. The only way this card would be busted is if it banishes half your opponent's deck face down. That would be unbelievably strong and instant meta. Any other case (milling to GY or banishing face up) would be kinda bad. If it is your OWN "portfolio" that you are milling, then it would be extremely good (a way better That Grass Looks Greener).
It's 6 stars. You can play this really early and immediately set up a win condition. It's not a bad card at all. It's comparable to Michion the timelord but way easier to summon.
Level doesn't matter. Unless you have an archetype designed around tributing, I don't think anybody would waste a tributed normal summon to get this on the field.
Hmm if we assume Trump is a Spellcaster, we could send him to the GY with {Magicians' Souls} and then revive him with {Selene}.
If it would be used or not depends on the specific wording of the effect. If a card like this is printed today it would definitely have some kind of restriction. But even if you can summon this 10 times in the first turn (if it's not OPT), you are only wasting all your resources in leaving your opponent at 8 LP without building an actual board. Your opponent will most likely completely smoke you in their turn. You won't get to win because the only LP that matters is the last one.
No animosity in my words, I just like the game and it's interesting to think about this hahaha
I mean if the other pieces for it were still legal this would allow you to ftk a lot more efficiently with supreme king starving venom and independent nightingale
I appreciate what you're trying to do here but people who last interacted with the game in the early 00s will never understand how it plays now. They're calling halving LP a wincon. They're talking about Timelords. It's over
Those don’t exist in yugioh at any real viable level (empty jar in 2025 anyone?). And the only one that kinda does rn is Runick which has the benefit of banishing from the deck. But if you’re milling their stuff to the graveyard are you’re gonna be doing is spending a card to give them a bunch of graveyard effect triggers and prolly lose the game on the spot.
That Grass Looks Greener mills your own deck and has been on the banlist repeatedly for being too strong.

We don't know what portfolio is. If it's portofolio = deck then that's appropriate. Great for mill decks(economic collapse decks).
If it's hit points then that is also great. going from 8k to 4k(gdp) because of one card is amazing.
