[Duel] Equip Spell Card Theme Set

[Killey]

Alright, I've been working on this theme over and over again and I'm starting to reach the end. I've been testing these cards in YVD against tier 1+2 decks and for the most part they fair pretty well but if they get swarmed before they establish their field they lose. The theme is based around Equip Spell Cards to activate effects but I've created the concept of cards that will create Equip Spell Card Tokens to help make the requirements a bit more easier.

 

The theme has a lot of tuners and synchros to fit various play styles so you won't be using all of the cards in a single deck but there's a ton of variety for you to develop a play style you'll enjoy. I still feel that there needs to be more balancing tweaks and that my adjustments might have been too much to compensate for today's meta but I'll leave that for you to judge. I'm not posting all of the cards on the thread as I don't have the time however I will post the set file that has all of the cards I intend to release and the image file as well.

If you spot abuses, OTK scenarios, loops, etc... please let me know as well any suggestions for better balancing. There are some rather borderline cards in this set so we'll see how things work.

[Guest JoshIcy]

Question. How updated is your .set file on that?

[Killey]

Well the set file I posted just has the information on the created cards only and I have more in there then what I've posted in this thread. I didn't combine the set file with the existing tcg/ocg set file as anyone can just open the text file attached and copy and paste the text at the end of their own set file. In terms of how updated are they for my own cards, it is the most up-to-date version at the moment. I'll make a note if anything changes.

[ragnarok1945]

a few lack backgrounds, though I don't care about that

 

the OCG seems to look ok on all of the cards, and the pics are especially well done, so I'll give this set 9.5/10

[Killey]

Bump

[-Griffin]

Ral, Crusader of the Arcana and Ryougen, Crusader of the Arcana can cause an abusable OTK with Mass Driver. Ral should be Once per turn which would fix this.

 

Ryougen, Crusader of the Arcana should say other "Arcana" to stop it being a full 1-card stall engine.

 

Euphemia, Knight of the Arcana seems OP'd since it seems like it destroys any monster that battles with the equipped monster for as long as it's equipped? I feel turning anything into an unlimited Catasor is OP'd, but it might not be.

[Killey]

Ral' date=' Crusader of the Arcana and Ryougen, Crusader of the Arcana can cause an abusable OTK with Mass Driver. Ral should be Once per turn which would fix this.[/quote']

 

Definitely possible to do but requires a huge dump of Equip Spell Cards in your Graveyard and I don't think it's quite feasible to do. Though I've been pondering do a once per turn deal as well since it's swarming abilities seems abusable enough that it warrants it.

Haha...Yeah, I figured the wording on Euphemia was too awkward and people would misunderstand the effect. It's only suppose to last for that 1 battle only. Meaning if a 2nd monster attacks afterwards the effect wouldn't kick in. I tried to figure out the best way to word it but couldn't figure it out without making the OCG look bad.

 

I'm actually going to have to redo that deck list. A lot of that deck was comprised when certain cards had different effects.

[Killey]

Added new cards.

 

I'll update the set file a little bit later.

[ragnarok1945]

I only see one error and that's for the type

 

it's Winged Beast, not Winged-Beast

 

other than that the OCG looks just fine

 

Arcana 0's effect is a little dull though

 

it's nice to see you're making the synchros off tarot cards though

 

9/10

[Killey]

Ah thanks for the catch in Winged Beast. Got to use to putting dashes because of Beast-Warrior.

 

Arcana 0's effect is dull but quite effective. :p

 

Anyways, I got a bad feeling that Vermilion Hermit of Power and Silver Justice are horrendously broken

[ragnarok1945]

don't worry, plenty of people make the same mistake of thinking because Beast-Warrior has the "-", it must apply to Winged Beast as well

ITT: 3 cards is "too much setup"

 

I play Foolish and send Ryo, then Normal Summon Ral and return Ryo to Summon another Ryo. I then activate Mass Driver and tribute Ryo. I then use Ral to return Ryo to Summon Ryo. Repeat till OTK.

 

It REALLY needs to be once per turn.

[Killey]

Ahhhhhh...I completely misread your initial post and missed the fact the two were used in conjunction with each alongside Mass Driver for the OTK. I thought you said just Ral and Mass Driver was enough to create the OTK...my bad. Will be fixed in the next update. Thanks.

[Killey]

New cards added

[ragnarok1945]

A shame Caliburn has no background, not that I care about that part

 

for the Chariot spell card, you need to give it a drawback and you'll be good

 

9/10
