[b]General Notes:[/b]

I found all of the art either on safebooru or deviantArt. Credits to everyone that I borrowed art from.

The meaning of the kanji, when translated, do not necessarily correspond with the English names at all times - especially for the casters; and "Legendary Lord" is instead "Famous Legend", because I couldn't figure out a good way to put it. The phonetic kana of the weapons are a little iffy as well. Please tell me of any mistakes that I make with my Japanese, as it would be very helpful. I've tried to avoid most OCG errors, but I might need some aid with that as well.

I have revised the lore for some of the cards; please refer to the given lore and not the printed lore, as I have been lazy with updates. (ahem.)

Any and all reasonable critique is welcome.

More cards coming eventually.

Thanks for reading.[/font]

I, er, would like more specific comments on the design of each card.

Haha.

hm, it's pretty cool
Legendary priest's picture could use a bit of work i guess... but it's fine,
the commander's effect needs a bit of wording change

it says you can SS him by tributing 2 legendary monster, but i think u should add "that you control" to the end, idk, i don't think it's needed, but it won't hurt to add that would it?...

also hand is not capitalized, weird isn't it?

just curious, r u gonna make any synchros for this?
would be reasonable since you have tuners for it lol

overall a nice set, good job 9/10

[Cirrus]

For Priest originally I had an anime-esque picture.

My friend was all like "That vaguely has the potential to be NSFW. Get a male Priest."

It's a filler picture for now.

Also, I have made Synchros already. The set isn't complete yet.

I will be posting these shortly.

[DuskWind05]

Hmm... They are good, really good, just one problem: most archtypes are based around the same effect (I.E Darkworld effects are based around being sent to the grave, Infernity are based around having no cards in your hand). Other than that, duelist and evoker im thinking should still be level 4 based upon their effect. Other than that amazing job

[Cirrus]

Most defined archetypes are like that, yes. In this case only one copy of each monster are allowed to be on the field at the same time (and only one copy of any normal Synchro of the archetype!), and as well only one copy of the Spells and Traps of this archetype (not yet revealed) will be able to be activated each turn.

You'll see in time. *chuckles*

I think Evoker is fine at level 3 (its effects are Compulsory, Twister, and... some card, and none of them are terribly exciting as they are SS1), and... Duelist is okay too, I guess? Like X-Saber Airbellum?

[krazyxgamer]

i see, i made an archetype in the Pop Culture thread... it didn't really have an effect that really related to eachother... i think i failed in that part lol...

but i'm excited to see the synchros lol =w=b

[Cirrus]

Added six new Synchro Monsters.

Critique/etc.

I think it's trying to communicate.

[Cirrus]

Do you have any comments on card balance and so on, Jazin Kay?

I'm trying to allow this archetype to be competitive in tier 1 play while still making the cards somewhat balanced.

Also, yes, that's a spambot. ._.

[Cirrus]

Bump.
