The Sins of Seven


Lord Ursus

Recommended Posts

[center]The idea of making a set based on the Seven Sins is very overused, though I wanted to get this idea out of my head.

Basicly, having Sins in your Graveyard (or past, if you will) can lead to pain. As such, you better have your tricks to survive with this set.

This is sort of like a board-less control set. Discard effects might wreck it slightly, though.

The images used for the monsters are made by HP Doom, I believe.

Seven Sins was my first Deck, I did it too early really, I will probably go back and do it up someday.

Anyway these cards can devastating for both players, huge effects at a huge cost. Some of the pics are really good - love Envy and Greed but I think Greed's pic should possibly be Pride or Lust instead. But some of them are just plain odd, especially Pride what on earth is the connection there?

I was liking the look of them until I got to the last card - 'Eyes of the Sins' - which threw it all out of balance and made everything that went before overpowered in my opinion. You can't even get rid of it unless for Giant Trunade/Card Destruction combo so it takes away all the cost pretty much permentantly. Shame.

So far, it looks like only Envy has any attacking focus. There's a good element of field control in there, but you haven't got anything to really take advantage of it. It's a bit concerning that only Gluttony can help you fish your monsters out of the Graveyard. That can be a problem if you're having trouble getting Eyes in to your hand. I imagine there can be a lot of support for this Archetype, but most urgently, I think, you need something to help recycle your monsters.

Eyes of the Sins= OP'd, but necessary with the monsters.
Needs support to help prevent wiping yourself out mid-duel.
Needs an easy way to bring out Eyes.
Failing that, someway to return monsters to hand/deck.

As is, 7/10 with room for improvement.

If you took out the first two effects of The Eyes Of Sin, the card wouldn't be that OP anymore.

These seem like pretty good monsters with alot of dangerous effects. I could see me using these monsters in a deck with alittle more support :)

8/10. I also love the art used for these monsters. Did you make the art?

Thank you.

No, I did not make the art for these cards.

HP Doom of the Showcase archives made all of them.

Untill further notice, I'll keep the Eyes as they are, since the only real support other than it that can possibly lead to you surviving at least a couple of more turns, is that Trap that makes you skip your Standby Phase. I might cut down on the number of effects on it, though.

Good, balanced cards 9.0
Pros: highly balanced, great art, game changing effects
Cons: Eyes of the sins is horrendously overpowered. Its an indestructable recycle engine which allows you to use "discard after _ standby phases" cards, like nightmare steelcage forever and win the duel smply with sloth's effect.
Overall: i hope konami makes these, but without the Eyes

Thank you for your comments.

It's nice to see this set created such interest.

I'll decide whether or not to cut the eyes, or at least make it destructable.

Presuming you live long enough to let 5 monsters or more be on the field, a OHKO would be possible. But that would be a harsh trial, seeing as you need constant protection or at least Life Gain. Spirit Reaper and the like would be great though. As we see with Sloth, the aggression of this set is rather minimal, though disruptive. That could mean you'd probably only play Spirit Reaper, Sangan and Marshmallon with these. That makes the 10 000 damage scenario with Sloth rather tough.
