"Gradius Games" Archtype! 6/??? (Input and/or opinions appreciated)

[Dandelo]

These cards are considered to be add-ons to the "Gradius Games" archtype (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Gradius_Games). The cards include LIGHT Machine-Type monsters with 1200 or less ATK, that can swarm and even have significant protection from card effects, battle, etc. Many cards will rely on Summoning various Tokens with 1200 ATK, much like a few "Gradius Games" cards that already exist. These cards will gain advantages for each Token you control, and you can even destroy your own Tokens to gain effects. Have at them.

 

 

If you Tribute Summon this card by Tributing a LIGHT Machine-Type monster with 1200 or less ATK, return the Tributed monster to your hand. This card gains 600 ATK for each Machine-Type Token on the field. When this card attacks, you can destroy 1 Machine-Type Token to destroy 1 card on the field at the end of the damage step.

 

 

When this card is Summoned, Special Summon 1 "Probe Token" (Machine-Type/LIGHT/Level 4/ATK 1200/DEF 1200) to your side of the field. When a "Probe Token" you control is destroyed by the effect of a card you control, draw 1 card.

 

 

When this card attacks an opponent's monster with higher ATK than this card's, you can Special Summon 1 "Shock Token" (Machine-Type/LIGHT/Level 4/ATK 1200/DEF 1200) to your side of the field. When a "Shock Token" you control is destroyed by the effect of a card you control, inflict 200 damage to your opponent for each card they control.

 

 

This card's Attribute is also treated as LIGHT. Face-up LIGHT Machine-Type monsters with 1200 or less ATK you control are uneffected by your opponent's Spell Cards. When this card is destroyed by battle, you can Normal Summon 1 LIGHT Machine-Type monster with 1200 or less ATK in your Graveyard during your next Main Phase.

 

 

While you control another LIGHT Machine-Type monster with 1200 or less ATK, this card inflicts Piercing Damage. When this card selects an opponent's Attack Position monster with DEF lower than this card's, switch it to Defense Position. During the turn this card inflicted Piercing Damage to your opponent, you can destroy 1 Machine-Type Token you control to have all LIGHT Machine-Type monsters with 1200 or less ATK you control not be able to be destroyed by battle until your opponent's End Phase.

 

 

When this card is Summoned, you can destroy 1 Machine-Type Token you control to add 1 LIGHT Machine-Type monster with 1200 or less ATK in your Deck to your hand. When this card is removed from the field, you can remove it from play to Special Summon 1 "Search Token" (Machine-Type/LIGHT/Level 4/ATK 1200/DEF 1200) to your side of the field.

All of these seem pretty good actually. I'd give them all a 9/10. I like the art. Really matches the OCG. The only thing I'd say to fix is I've never seen a Yugioh card actually use the term "Piercing" I know what it is as most people do. but I'd spell the whole think out like usual "When this monster attacks with an ATK higher than the DEF of a defense position monster, inflict the difference as battle damage to your opponents life points."

 

yes it makes an already long effect even longer but that's the way they write it.

[Dandelo]

And it's for the soul purpose of making the effect shorter that I wrote it as "Piercing". If people know what it means, I don't see the problem. But hey, glad you like the cards, and the comment is appreciated (as stated ;) ). Have some +rep.

And a bump.
