Since you're here, why not comment on these cards? I mean, it would be a waste of a visit to come in and just look? I want your feedback. SO COMMENT OR ELSE!!!!

Now for the cards...

Actually, this is two sets, but they are related to each other, so it was logical to include them together.

[size="4"][u]Solar Legend[/u][/size]
Solar Legend is based of of the monsters gaining effects when they are destroyed. They are all LIGHT monsters with varying types.

[size="4"][u]Lunar Revelation[/u][/size]

Lunar Revelation is based off of monsters who gain effects from Flip Summons and being flipped. Personally, this is my favorite. They mirror the Solar monsters as they are DARK attribute.

Both sets are really good, although I personally like Lunar Revelation more (looks more well thought out imo).

The OCG looks good as far as I know. Most pics are good and a very few of them were average.

Most of your monster's effects for both sets are great (with very few exceptions) and I like the Spell/Trap support for them.
(No Trap's for the Lunars? D:)

Sorry for the short and simple review, but it would take me forever to review each and every one of your cards @_@

Anyways 9.2/10

Also +1 Rep and 5 star rating keep up the good work.


[b]EDIT: [/b]I would like to point out one card that seems somewhat Op'd to me. Solar Magical Flare can gain ATK depending how many Life Points you paid. That by itself is a bit too much, even with the steep cost. I would consider changing the ATK gain to something more reasonable.

[Catterjune]

Two card OTK:

Summon Helic. Tribute Helic. Summon Magical Flare.

All you need to do is make sure your opponent doesn't summon a monster with more then 2000 attack on their first turn, which isn't impossible considering how few there are. Say they summon Stratos. Get Flare out, pay 7800 LP, win the duel.

You don't even have common threats like "OH NO! I wasted 7000+ LP for him to Magical Cylinder or Sakuretsu!" because it happens during the damage step. Just about the only threats coming would be Honest or Kalut.

I'd suggest toning it down or setting a max, but honestly that's the only highlight of the set.

[quote][Golder][/quote]

There used to be a saying back on whatever board I pretended to come from (that typically originated from deck building). I don't remember it verbatem, but it was something like "Good cards are the ones that help you win. Bad cards are the ones that keep your opponent from winning, while not furthering your own win condition." This card is an example of the second.

When your card is comparable to a vanilla (Millenium Shield and/or Labrynth Wall) and the vanilla is significantly better (less tribs, can be set, no stat decrease, no 'dead in 3 attacks' effect) that should be a pretty big sign that the card is really, really bad.

[quote][Realgas][/quote]

*pronounces it as the opposite of Fake Gas* =D

... It's effect is really underwhelming. It's like that... 1900 attack... I think... reptile monster. Except it doesn't have the liberty of being 1900 attack.

[quote]Ba'Chat[/quote]

What's the point of this? It doesn't seem to support the rest of the cards in the theme. Come to think of it, there doesn't really seem to be much of a theme to support here. There seems to be a lot of "destroy yourself" going on here, but... they don't really seem to be benefiting much from it.

In short, you just loose a monster from your hand, gain a worthless monster on the field that can't attack or defend. It'd be like making a field spell that said: "This card can only be activated when you have 5 monsters on the field. This card does nothing." except even worse, because it doesn't have Terraforming to search it out and can't be discarded for Summoner Monk.

[quote]Reftus[/quote]
Same type as Copycat. Same attribute as Copycat. Significantly worse effect then Copycat. It's got much better art then Copycat, and Copycat doesn't get support from the rest of the Solar Cards but there doesn't seem to be much worthwhile support for it anyway.

[quote][Solar Satellite][/quote]

It's Luminous Spark.

[quote][Flare Trap][/quote]

This is significantly worse then the following cards:
Mirror Force
Sakuretsu Armor
Widespread Ruin
Dimension Prison
Shrink
Mirror Wall
Honest (They're all light types)

Times each by their banlist placement and you have 18 legal cards that would be better in the spot of this.

[quote][Hidden Book of the Sun[/quote]

Looking over the list real quick, I can't see any card that allows you to destroy your own S/Ts. Secondly I don't see the point of the first two effects. If you're grabbing a card from your deck during your draw phase and setting it during your standby phase, a little red flag would go off in their head not to aim their MSTs at it.

And what's the point of setting it during the Standby Phase anyway? Let's you get around Cold Wave but... even then that's a pretty insignificant point.

It's never a good idea to have a card with an effect that makes you rely on your opponent. The "you destroy this card" thing might work if there were more cards that could do it in this set, but I don't believe there are and I don't wanna waste my own cards to trigger it.


After reading through the list, I feel I can give a more proper review for:

[quote][Dracor][/quote]

It's their big boss monster, but it'd honestly work better in another deck. Something like Frogs, or Goat Control or Dandylion, or some other deck that could handle consistently getting and keeping 3 monsters on the field. Otherwise, it's effect is rather dull, not allowing a monster to attack when by that point you probably already got the biggest guy on the field anyway. I'd rather use D-Hero Plasma.

I'll review the Lunar Set later.

[Catterjune]

I wanted to edit it in, but apparently there's a limit to the number of quotes I can have per post.

So like... yeah.

[quote][Fi'Lun][/quote]

Three tribs is too much for it's effect in my opinion.

[quote][Tsusan'a][/quote]

It kind of reminds me of Snowman Eater or Legendary Jujitsu Master, in that when an opponent attacks it, it gets destroyed and you still have a monster going. Unfortunately, it only lasts for one more turn regarding Tsusan'a.

[quote][Lunar Joker][/quote]

It's like Copycat, only worse. Hell, even Reftus kind of looks good compared to this.

[quote][Shikuse][/quote]

Looks like it could become annoying to your opponent. At least, until your opponent gets out a 2000+ monster. Which seems likely since you don't really have much of an alternate strategy if you're running a pure Lunar Deck. It's alright for random tech in another deck, but for Lunars... idk.

[quote][Rubekanti][/quote]

By a card effect? Uhh... just two cards can do it. The field spell later down the road and Book of Taiyou. I don't wanna use Book and loose my monster for what should be a simple RoTA effect.

[quote][Puikue][/quote]

Just one time only? That makes it rather awful.

[quote][Ariawa][/quote]

It's effect reads like some old card out of Magic Ruler back when all cards were required to be terrible. I mean, I'll try to reserve my judgment and might have to come back here when the set is done, but pretty much the only way I can see these cards being redeemed is if you have an "auto-fipper" spell or trap card or something. But if I have to run Book of Taiyou just to get these card's effects going, I'm seeing some pretty big problems.

[quote][Diredo Osu][/quote]

I was gonna say it looked borderline playable until I realized it was level 5 and all interest faded away.

[quote][Lunar Sky Temple][/quote]

... Pretty good card, and decent support for the archetype. Looks like it'd work better in a PACMAN deck though.


In short, the Lunar Archetype has fun little effects, but other then being kind of fun, they're not too useful. Significantly better then the Solar Archetype which is just a collection of random effects.

[SleepyBrown]

awesome cards 9/10. i'd use the solar deck. i find it more convinient. anyways, how did u do those effects on "Dracor the ultimate solar being"
