  1. 1. Do you think these cards, although the Set is still incomplete, work well with each other?

This thread got remade for a better viewing of the cards (previous versions had cards all cluttered together xD)

[spoiler=Explanations]- Minotaurs attack by ramming their opponents with it's massive horns. Thats why im "running over" the monster to a Spell or Trap card behind it.

- Stymphalian Birds are supposed to attack in BIG groups, so the effect makes me summon a decent number of them at once. Also, myths say that when they were grouped-up, those birds were extremely savage. That goes for the ATK bonus.

- Cerberus is supposed to guard the Underworld, letting dead people in but stopping them from going out (there goes: "cannot Special Summon from the Graveyard").

- Harpies were said to be the reincarnation of the wind's fury, and attacked viciously. Thats why they "blow away" cards when they appear, and can attack twice (I put in a low ATK and DEF to compensate for that).

- Manticores were known for shooting venomous spikes from their tails. Thats why these "Spike Counters" reduce ATK. The "negate the attack" part is that you dump all Counters (imagine this beast shooting so many spikes, monsters cant get close enough).

- The Nemean Lion, killed by Hercules, had an impenetrable golden skin that made all weapons useless against him (that goes for the negation effects he has in different battle positions, and the ATK loss monsters have when attacking him). I made the Special Summon condition to balance it.

- Gorgon Sister Medusa petrified men just by staring to them, that goes for the 0 ATK effect. The row change effect is to make it original. She receives a bonus if the 2 other sisters are on the field because, well, they are sisters xD. The shielding and DEF raising abilities stand for the meaning of it's name: Medusa in Ancient Greek means "protector", "guardian".

- Gorgon Sister Euryale has revival abilities due to it being the only one of the three Gorgon Sisters that has maternal feelings. His restoration/damage skill is due to the myth that blood extracted from the right side had healing properties, and from the left side was a mortal venom. And a plus, in the myth she is immortal.

- Pretty simple with this one: the Basilisk has a mortal venom (ATK or DEF reduced), and was said to kill living creatures with one stare (the Vile Stare Counters come there).

- Hercules benefits if Nemean Lion is in the Graveyard just as he benefits from that beast in the myth (he uses the lion's skin, impenetrable, as an armor. The ATK gain is increased if Mythical Beasts are summoned to represent that he was a "beast killer").

- Spartans benefit from being in group, the famous battle formation "phalanx" enhanced defenses. So Leonidas benefits from groups too, pretty much like the Stymphalian Bird I made.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Mythical Soldiers]
[spoiler=Mythical Soldier, Spartan Warrior]

If you control 2 or more "Mythical Soldier, Spartan Warrior" on your field, battles involving "Mythical Soldier" cards have Battle Damage halved. For every "Mythical Soldier, Spartan Warrior" you control, increase this card's DEF by 400. Once per turn, you may Tribute 2 "Mythical Soldier, Spartan Warrior" from your field to Special Summon 1 "Mythical" monster from your hand in Attack Position. That monster cannot attack the turn it was Special Summoned and has it's effects negated.[/spoiler]

[b]Mythical Beast, Gorgon Sister Sthenno added![/b] Good luck getting rid of the three sisters at the same time, they were designed to cooperate with each other >=D.

- Thank you kevin7653! =D
- xykon: I was not aware of that. Maybe I'll change my Cerberus name?

Proper formatting is going to be implemented (to avoid too much images at the same time). Also, credit to these image's authors will be added too.
