Sun vs. Moon (ace monsters released)

[morfowt]

For eons, the creatures of the day and the creatures of the night have lived in harmony together, abiding to the rules of their kingdoms governed by the sun and the moon. But when a daring nocturnal civilian breaks the law and peeks at the sun, god's wrath will descend

 

This set is sort of 2 archetypes but are closely related, kind of like neo-spacians and elemental heroes. the main card is the field spell card "sun cycle" which tells you when it's "day" or "night". when day, "solar nation" monsters are face-up and "lunar kingdom" monsters are face-down, and vice versa when it's night. There are actually 2 ace monsters equally powerful in this set. coincidentally, this set also works pretty well with Book of Taiyou, Book of Moon, and Book of Eclipse...

Well there you are for now. rate, review, comment, criticize, contribute, whatever.

[morfowt]

bump.

[bigedf]

A few OCG errors, like in "Solar Nation - Longnose" and some other cards you either have to write, "This card cannot be Summoned unless "Sun Cycle" is face-up on the field. If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, increase this card's ATK by 1000." OR "This card cannot be Set unless "Sun Cycle" is face-up on the field. This card cannot be Summoned. If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, increase this card's ATK by 1000. It depends on what you meant. Also, capitalize "Set".

 

Cool cards. Cool idea. Would love to see more and/or finished ones. 8.7/10

[morfowt]

um, that's not an OCG error. it's supposed to be unable to be set unless sun cycle is on the field. it CAN still be summoned... the idea is unless sun cycle is on the field, solar nation monsters have to remain face-up, while lunar kingdom monsters have to remain face-down.

 

I'll capitalize it though.

[morfowt]

Bump. some effects changed to better suit the flipping effects of sun cycle.

[morfowt]

bump. well I posted my 2 ace monsters in written card format, since I'm not too pleased with the images. They may seem a bit broken, but I think the fact that they're harder to summon than many other synchro monsters (IMO) kind of balances them... could be wrong though...

thanks, but the thing is, since none of them have "solar nation" nor "lunar kingdom" in their names, they aren't part of this archetype and can't use the support cards. plus, they don't have effects the effects found in all members of the archetype.

A recommendation: vary the levels a bit more, and fix the error of not having a Solar Nation tuner. Otherwise, you have 1 useless Synchro, and (in general at least) it will be too hard/easy to synchro. Likewise, the Lunar monsters will die 80% of the time because they must be set and have almost no def, and the Solar monsters will be broken 80% of the time because their stats are so high without an increase in level. Likewise, is the field flipping them to fd defense? or just fd? Aside from varying the Levels, consider making some monsters that are high level WITHOUT being Synchro. Its kind of boring if the only way to get a high level monster out is synchro, and will probably hurt the deck a bit if you cant tribute and the field gets full of things. Also, Star Rebirth needs to be fixed so it says it returns the field, not itself, to the top of the deck. Otherwise, nice set! Wish it could work with Sun Dragon Inti and Moon Dragon Quilla, but oh well. Nice job!
