So its opinion poll time for the items.
This was suggested to me before, and now I'm considering it since I'm working through the items again.
What are people's opinions on boosting card effects with the items for outdated cards.
Now what I mean by this, is not just giving random effects or random better effects to old cards.
I mean, for cards that have been outdated due to format changes. We wouldn't be changing the effects themselves, just how they can be applied to make them fit in line with the current era of the game.
A good example of this would be the Meklords. They were fun at the time they came out because everyone was using synchros at the time, but since they came out, xyzs, pendulums, and links have come out and you are much less likely to see a synchro on the opponent's field. So their effects would change from something like this....
To something more like this.
Another example would be a lot of ZEXAL era cards only function on the premise that "Xyz monsters are the new thing and everyone is using them, so its fine to assume your opponent will have some Xyzs or Numbers in play or in their GY"
At the end of the day though, these changes will all be similar to the restrictions I put on some of the anime cards in order to not ban them. In that they wont get new effects, the effects wont change, they'll still be usable in the exact same way they were in the anime, just usable against decks from eras outside of that anime.

Once per turn, you can equip 1 Synchro Monster your opponent controls to this card as an Equip Card. This card gains ATK equal to the ATK of a monster equipped by this card's effect.
Once per turn, you can equip 1 monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck your opponent controls to this card as an Equip Card. This card gains ATK equal to the ATK of a monster equipped by this card's effect.
