New Generation of Crystal Beasts - Synthetic Beasts!

[Lord Smeagle]

So yeah, this is a set designed to bring Crystal Beasts into the age of speed and Synchroes.

 

Each Synthetic Beast is an "upgraded" version of one of the Crystal Beasts. It has a different effect but is treated as having the same name (so you can't run three Topaz Tigers and three 'Tronic Tigers).

 

The big hitter of the set is an alternate Rainbow Dragon that can be summoned by using 7 Synthetic or non-Synthetic Crystal Beasts. It gains 900 ATK for each Synthetic, but it gains a powerful effect for each original Crystal Beast, so it's up to the user to decide how much ATK should be sacrificed for which effects.

 

Oh, and an obligatory Synchro.

 

 

This card's name is also treated as "Rainbow Dragon." This card cannot be Normal Summoned. This card can only be Special Summoned by removing 7 "Crystal Beast" monsters with different names from your side of the field or your Graveyard. This card gains 900 ATK for each "Synthetic Beast" monster removed from play by its effect. This card gains the following effects based on the Synthetic Beast monsters removed from play by its effect:

"Crystal Beast - Topaz Tiger": This card inflicts Piercing Damage. "Crystal Beast - Ruby Carbuncle": Once per turn, you can Special Summon a removed from play Crystal Beast monster. "Crystal Beast - Emerald Tortoise": This card cannot be targeted by Spell Cards. "Crystal Beast - Amber Mammoth": Effect damage inflicted to your Life Points is halved. "Crystal Beast - Amethyst Cat" - Once per turn, inflict 700 damage to your opponent. "Crystal Beast - Cobalt Eagle": You can return this card to your hand to Special Summon 3 "Crystal Beast" monsters from your hand, Deck or Graveyard. "Crystal Beast - Sapphire Pegasus" - During your Draw Phase, you can draw 1 additional card.

 

 

This card's name is also treated as "Crystal Beast - Topaz Tiger." If this card is destroyed while it is in a Monster Card Zone, you can place it face-up in your Continuous Spell & Trap Card Zone instead of sending it to the Graveyard. When this card attacks, you can have its original ATK become equal to 1600, OR equal to the number of "Crystal Beast" monsters on the field x500.

 

 

This card's name is also treated as "Crystal Beast - Ruby Carbuncle." If this card is destroyed while it is in a Monster Card Zone, you can place it face-up in your Continuous Spell & Trap Card Zone instead of sending it to the Graveyard. Once per turn, while you control this monster, you can Special Summon 1 "Crystal Beast" monster from your Spell & Trap Card Zone. Its effect is negated. Once per turn, while this card is in your Spell & Trap Card Zone, you may select 1 "Crystal Beast" monster in your Graveyard and place it in your Spell & Trap Card Zone.

 

 

This card's name is also treated as "Crystal Beast - Sapphire Pegasus." If this card is destroyed while it is in a Monster Card Zone, you can place it face-up in your Continuous Spell & Trap Card Zone instead of sending it to the Graveyard. When this card is summoned, select 1 "Crystal Beast" from your Graveyard and place it in your Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Continuous Spell Card. When this card is destroyed by battle, you can Special Summon 1 "Crystal Beast" with less than 1500 ATK from your Deck.

 

 

This card's name is also treated as "Crystal Beast - Amethyst Cat." If this card is destroyed while it is in a Monster Card Zone, you can place it face-up in your Continuous Spell & Trap Card Zone instead of sending it to the Graveyard. If this card battles a monster, destroy any Equip Spell Cards attached to it before damage calculation. If "Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins" is active, this card can attack your opponent directly. If this card attacks directly, its ATK becomes 1000.

 

 

This card's name is also treated as "Crystal Beast - Emerald Tortoise." If this card is destroyed while it is in a Monster Card Zone, you can place it face-up in your Continuous Spell & Trap Card Zone instead of sending it to the Graveyard. If this card is removed from play, except by the effect of "Rainbow Dragon," place it in your Continuous Spell & Trap Card Zone. When this card is attacked while in Attack Position, you can change both monsters to Defense Position.

 

 

This card's name is also treated as "Crystal Beast - Amber Mammoth." If this card is destroyed while it is in a Monster Card Zone, you can place it face-up in your Continuous Spell & Trap Card Zone instead of sending it to the Graveyard. While this card is in a Monster Card Zone, you can Tribute it to destroy 1 card on the field. While this card is in a Spell & Trap Card Zone, you can send this card and 1 other Spell or Trap Card to the Graveyard to destroy two cards on the field.

 

 

This card's name is treated as "Crystal Beast Cobalt Eagle." If this card is destroyed while it is in a Monster Card Zone, you can place it face-up in your Continuous Spell and Trap Card Zone instead of sending it to the Graveyard. If this card is in your Spell and Trap Card Zone, you may Synchro Summon using Synchro-Material Monsters in your Spell and Trap Card zone.

 

 

 

1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters

If this card is destroyed while it is in a Monster Card Zone, you can place it face-up in your Continuous Spell & Trap Card Zone instead of sending it to the Graveyard. Twice per turn, you can send 1 "Crystal Beast" card in your Spell & Trap Card zone to the Graveyard to destroy 1 card on the field, OR draw 1 card from your Deck. You can remove this card in your Spell & Trap Zone from play to Special Summon 1 "Crystal Beast" monster from your hand or Graveyard.

Burning Spinel Cat should be Amethyst Cat?

[Lexadin]

All cards are pretty good, even though Thestral doesn't really look like a Zombie.

Pics are mostly pretty good.

OCG is good.

Effects are ballanced and will give the CBs a good boost.

One notice though, in Spindels effect is says "Ruby Carbunkel" and I think you meant a other card.

And the "one" in the sychro's text should be a "1" I know it says the same, but its the correct OCG.

A 9/10, in total after the fixes.

[Lord Smeagle]

Fix'd kthx.

[Sander]

Burning Spinel Cat should be Amethyst Cat?

 

Agreed.

 

Oh, and what I found funny is that, Sapphire Pegasus can search out CB's from your Deck, hand or Graveyard. Thestral can only get a CB from your Graveyard.

 

Overall, not impressed. You just took a CB and kinda changed it's effect. 6/10.

[Lord Smeagle]

@ Xander: And this is exactly the point. They're supposed to be similar to the original CBs, but stronger, faster, and better suited to the current metagame. They're imitation CB's, hence the "Synthetic."

 

Also, Thestral grabs a CB Spell from the Graveyard, but when he dies he summons a CB Monster from the Deck.

[Sander]

@ Xander: And this is exactly the point. They're supposed to be similar to the original CBs' date=' but stronger, faster, and better suited to the current metagame. They're imitation CB's, hence the "Synthetic."

Yeah, sure. I can see what you mean, but that doesn't mean that these "imitations" actually are good. See, the name ruling effect already stops these cards by a little bit, that's for sure. And secondly, the only useful CB imitations here are the 2 tuners. The rest aren't.

 

Oh, and about your so called "upgrade" of Sapphire Pegasus...sorry to say it to you, but it's not a upgrade at all. Sapphire Pegasus is way faster than this. You don't need to have it destroyed by battle to get a CB from your Deck, you can just Normal Summon it.

Uh...where are you getting this? Sapphire Pegasus doesn't have a summon effect, it just fetches a CB from the Deck to the Spell & Trap Zone. Thestral has that effect but from the graveyard, plus a summon and 1900 ATK. How is that not an upgrade?

Because most of the time, CB's are more useful in the Graveyard than they are on the field. And I already told you, Sapphire fetches from the Deck, and OR Graveyard. Is it that hard to pay attention to my posts?

I heard what you said.

 

Sapphire Pegasus does not summon. At all. Ever. Thestral does. His effect is modified to only work from the Graveyard in order to balance him somewhat, and give people an incentive to run a copy of Pegasus with a couple of Thestrals, and to run with the idea of Thestral being a Zombie.

 

The Synthetic Beasts are made to work with Crystal Beasts, not completely replace them, hence Spectralite Alloy Dragon.

 

Pegasus, while he has a more versatile fetch, does not summon, m'kay? I felt that CBs needed a Mystic Tomato style searcher.

Nice cards very very nice i've only seen one errror that i remeber you forgot the "" on Synthedic Beasts on your Dragon

 

9.9/10.1

[ragnarok1945]

OCG is fine, effects are balanced

 

it's a shame they're only slightly modified effects from original crystal beast effects, but I guess that was your intention to begin with, so I'll give the set 9.5/10

[Lord Smeagle]

Rates appreciated, will fix punctuation errors later.

[Jeovanny]

nice pics whered u get them 9/10

[Blackwing-Master]

i like it. you made the remix of eagle a lot better. you mind sending me the pic from the eagle?

9/10.

[Lord Smeagle]

 

Most of the other pics are from Jazin Kay's Image Gallery. If you want the Thestral, just Google it.

[Blackwing-Master]
