This set is especially good due to the killer images. Also, the OCG is flawless.

 

One problem: I can understand how these cards can work out their remove from Graveyard need, but what about the very first Nephtys monster you summon? It would simply leave a 1 turn opening that your opponent can work with.

 

By the way, the first card is too strong. It simply is. Main card in the set or not, it IS overpowered.

 

The rest are great, especially number 2. You get 9.6/10 from me.

[spoiler=Putting this in a spoiler because it's a rather large review]

I like this set so far, Ursus! This thread is better than 3 stars...

 

Oz: So, this is the main guy of the whole archetype? It kind of reminds me of 'Yubel', minus the burn part. It's pretty cool, as it's effect allows you to put 'Nephilium' monsters in the grave for later use. However, considering the popularity of Spell and Trap monster destruction nowadays (Bottomless Trap Hole, Torrential Tribute, etc.) there is a decreased chance of this card lasting very long on the field. It is balanced though, and I like it.

 

Nataf: It's good for speeding through your Deck, looking for cards that you want, but it's also a bit OP'd in the fact that you can send Nephilium monsters directly to the grave, as well as getting the cards you want.

 

Medisteros: Ouch. Sending more Nephilium monsters to the Graveyard, then destroying 1 monster on the field? It's balanced for a a 2 Tribute monster, but during the later part of a Duel, this card's burn would be absolutely devastating.

 

 

Lietes: As you said, quite the workhorse for this archetype. It does everything for support, recycling your Nephilium monsters, sending them back to the Graveyard, and letting you draw. Seems fun to use. ;)

 

Ursus, well done! The OCG looks fine, and the pictures are good, not great IMO, but they'll do. The only problem I see in this Deck is you might end up milling yourself to death. ;)

 

8.5/10

Milling yourself to death? I don't see anyone complaining about Lightsworns on that matter. And that's the "millest" you can get!

Oz seems slightly overpowered now. You might want to make it so it can't be Special Summoned.

Nataf, interesting; milling in return for semi-selective drawing. The only thing is that you might want to use Pick Up OCG (check the wikia) for the effect.

Medisteros is curious; since it's effect is different from the others and you've used different (incorrect) OCG for it's destruction effect. Also, the effect should read:

 

Once per turn, you can send 1 "Nephilium" monster in your hand and Deck to the Graveyard...

 

Lletes is possibly overpowered, since it can reverse the cost of Summoning one of the other "Nephilium" monsters. You Summon 1, remove the monster, then Special Summon this one and recoup the costs. It needs to be toned down, perhaps with a reduction of ATK and DEF.

 

 

Overall, near-perfect OCG and great images. Interesting ideas. Keep it up.

 

9/10

Hhm. I guess you're right.

 

I will definately tone down Oz a bit, and Max's proposition seems like a good idea.

 

I'll keep Nataf as it is.

 

I used a different OCG on Medisteros? *Checks* Indeed I did. I'll fix that.

 

I'll also keep Lletes the way it is, as it is just a bad card the first 3 rounds or so, unless you up the speed of your whole strategy very early.

Sure Ursus. Wow, just wow. The pictures are great for sure. The effects are creative for the most part and I love the whole, remove from play, bring back, remove from play again, good game method that this set seems to use. I would love to have deck made of these cards in real life, I really would. 9/10. I can't bring myself to give anything a ten. This should motavate you.

Thank you very much.

 

Yes, the effects are not too original, yet they have a common niche; their summoning requirements, so I merely gave them strong effects that seemed appealing to me.

 

The spell is bland, yes, but the sad reality is that real Yu-Gi-Oh cards are bland. I try to make these as realistic as possible.
