Description
RAM☍Shackle ://Alias
Normal Spell

Effect:
Add 1 "RAM☍" card from your Deck to your hand, except a Normal Spell, then draw 1 card. While this card is in your GY, monsters you control named "RAM☍Shackle ://Alias" can make a second attack during each Battle Phase, but can only declare 1 direct attack each turn. You can only activate 1 "RAM☍Shackle ://Alias" per Duel.

The topic of "Engage"-style cards within the Custom Community is very much a contentious topic; it can be incredibly difficult to balance around the sheer advantage this style of card gives you. However, within the 'RAM☍Shackle' archetype, they have a few cards which possess these incredibly powerful effects, at the cost of being truly Once per Duel. Thus, looping them or utilizing multiples simply doesn't work, unless of course, you factor in the primary gimmick of the Maindeck monsters: To duplicate Spell effects. By 'Loading' the names of their Normal Spells onto Maindeck monsters, the 'RAM☍Shackle' can apply these potent effects multiple times, and gain small, battle-based bonuses if they share a name with one of these Normal Spells in the GY. This ensures that a Duelist has to jump through some proper hoops (and eventually banish all copies of said 'Engage'-style card) in order to reap the benefits Striker often does.

Trivia: ://Alias, and the other Normal Spells, share the nomenclature of a search term within a directory, with 'Alias' being the name of something, which I used to signify its ability to search other 'RAM☍Shackle' cards. You'll notice the Red/Blue (and Purple) theming for many of the cards, as we go along, so keep an eye out for what it might mean for the strategy as a whole!

Note: DeviantART doesn't let me include Unicode symbols in the title, so imagine every instance of 'RAMShackle' is 'RAM☍Shackle'.
