Savior Archetype - Remake.

[Vector Nightmare]

[b]NOTE[/b]: All names used are OCG ones. The effects of Savior Star and Savior Demons were changed slightly. Also, following the anime trend, their support leans towards Monsters and Traps, as regular Spells are unusable in Riding Duels, and Savior-exclusive Speed Spells wouldn't make much sense in-universe-wise. Also, Savior Synchro monsters' effects (will) follow the following format: the first part will be a modified / upgraded version of the original's effect (ie Stardust tributes itself to negate a destruction effect and revives in the End Phase, Savior Star tributes itself to negate any effect and destroy all enemy cards, but does not revive). The second part deals with negating an enemy effect (as the Savior Dragons were 'made' to battle the Earthbound Gods, and they needed the negation effect to deal with them). The third part returns the dragon to the Extra Deck during the End Phase and returns the original.

[b]Dragon of Salvation - Savior Dragon[/b]
Not much better, but still an improvement for real-life one. It's quite easy to recover, as you'll most probably still have the Level 1 monster you used for synching Majestic in grave.

[b]Savior Star Dragon[/b]
If I read correctly, it now steals effect completly, not only activates it once per turn. A bit better than real-life one, as it an steal Continuous effects too.

[b]Savior Demon Dragon[/b]
Ridiculous burn effect. Especially that it can gain additinal effect. But its summoning conditions balance it. A lot better than real-life one.

[b]Savior Rose Dragon[/b]
First effect is broken. 10 cards on the field = OTK. But it's hard to summon, so I think it's ok. Second effect is good. But seeing as most good Plants have <1000 ATK... eh, but again, balanced because of summoning

[b]Savior Fairy Dragon[/b]
Terraforming on legs that's +1. Ok. Second effect is essentially free Harpie's Feather Duster, as you can search another Field Spell by its effect. LP gain effect won't be that useful, as most cards used in today Meta have relatively low DEF.

[b]Savior Black Dragon[/b]
Draco-Equites has the better version of first effect, because it deflects damage. Cost modification effects are awesome. It makes opponent's Solemn Warning cost 4000 LP, and yours only 1000. But I can't think of any other useful card that requires to pay LP. Burn effect is pretty awesome.

[b]Savior Sky[/b]
Good at maintaining them on field. Draw effect may seem broken at first, but it's not, because you rather won't destroy by battle with them much, as they either burn or do other things. Last effect is awesome, especially with Stardust, because it gets itself to Graveyard easily. And sets up Dragon's recovery effect.

[b]Savior Knight[/b]
Too restrictive at summoning. Effect isn't worth the effort, and there are other beatsticks. And least it's very searchable and abusable.

[b]Savior Mirage[/b]
Nothing much to say, except that it's useful.

[b]Savior Spirit[/b]
So intant Savior synchro. Good. It's quite searchable too. Is there more to say?

[b]Miracle Salvation[/b]
No, no, no, no and no. Did I say no? It gives INSTANT 3000 DEF wall that is't dead when it gets to Graveyard. Or protection from destruction effects. Really broken.

[b]Savior Force[/b]
Not much to say. It's just good.

[b]Savior Ray[/b]
I like it. You know that the way it's worded now it can discard itself and then Special Summon? But that's what makes it good

[b]Lost Savior Dragon[/b]
Not much to say, it's just pro.

[u]Well, I still wouldn't want to make it like... too abusable by itself, the main point was adding support. However, the real life version was ridiculously weak so I buffed it up a little.[/u]

[b]Savior Star Dragon[/b]

[u]Yeah, I think just stealing a trigger effect is too situational and useless. Considering the pain it is to bring Savior Star out, it's worth it, I believe.[/u]

[b]Savior Demon Dragon[/b]
Ridiculous burn effect. Especially that it can gain additinal effect. But its summoning conditions balance it. A lot better than real-life one.

[u]Ehm, ridiculous burn effect? Your opponent can just... not try to destroy it, the only reason I even added that part was to make it closer to the anime version. Also, what do you mean by "gain additional effect"?[/u]

[b]Savior Rose Dragon[/b]
First effect is broken. 10 cards on the field = OTK. But it's hard to summon, so I think it's ok. Second effect is good. But seeing as most good Plants have <1000 ATK... eh, but again, balanced because of summoning

[u]>You Summon a Savior Synchro
>There are still 10 cards on the field
Something doesn't add up =/. If there are 10 cards on the field when you do that, your opponent is overextending like crazy, and deserves to lose. Also, it's meant to not be able to just casually bring out stuff like Gigaplant, Tytannial...[/u]

[b]Savior Fairy Dragon[/b]
Terraforming on legs that's +1. Ok. Second effect is essentially free Harpie's Feather Duster, as you can search another Field Spell by its effect. LP gain effect won't be that useful, as most cards used in today Meta have relatively low DEF.

[u]There's a big difference between this and HFD, and that is that you have to run Field Spells yourself. This limits its usefulness a lot. But since it's still quite strong, the counterbalance was in the negation + LP gain which as you said is weak compared to the other Saviors.[/u]

[b]Savior Black Dragon[/b]
Draco-Equites has the better version of first effect, because it deflects damage. Cost modification effects are awesome. It makes opponent's Solemn Warning cost 4000 LP, and yours only 1000. But I can't think of any other useful card that requires to pay LP. Burn effect is pretty awesome.

[u]Personally I think an effect that negates all effect damage and one that deflects it are one and the same, since your opponent just won't use any effect damage either case. Cost modification is kind of a flavor thing, it usually won't affect much except Solemn Warning as you said. Not sure how it would affect Solemn Judgment. [/u]

[b]Savior Sky[/b]
Good at maintaining them on field. Draw effect may seem broken at first, but it's not, because you rather won't destroy by battle with them much, as they either burn or do other things. Last effect is awesome, especially with Stardust, because it gets itself to Graveyard easily. And sets up Dragon's recovery effect.

[u]Thanks, I think this is one of the better supports I made. Originally I intended it as a field spell, but it wouldn't fit in with Riding Duels and it might be kind of broken with Savior Fairy.[/u]

[b]Savior Knight[/b]
Too restrictive at summoning. Effect isn't worth the effort, and there are other beatsticks. And least it's very searchable and abusable.

[u]Can't say I see it as too abusable. It requires your opponent to extend a little, which won't always happen. Or you can help them do it with some card. But it's pretty powerful and can stay on the field for one turn, and then can either help you bring out your Dragon Synchro, or search out Savior Dragon if that's what you need. Basically meant to be kind of versatile and act like a wall until you get your stuff together, but it isn't part of the victory condition.[/u]

[b]Savior Mirage[/b]
Nothing much to say, except that it's useful.

[b]Savior Spirit[/b]
So intant Savior synchro. Good. It's quite searchable too. Is there more to say?

[u]I think "instant" is a bit of a stretch with Spirit, you'll still have to have Savior in hand and a Dragon out there. But yeah, those two are generally meant to speed up the process without requiring the use of the Limited One for One, or something similar.[/u]

[b]Miracle Salvation[/b]
No, no, no, no and no. Did I say no? It gives INSTANT 3000 DEF wall that is't dead when it gets to Graveyard. Or protection from destruction effects. Really broken.

[u]I don't think you read this quite well. The effect negation in this case doesn't only last while the monster is on the field - Stardust won't be able to activate its effects. And -1ing yourself, especially if you also require another specific card to show, generally isn't worth the 3000 DEF. This is merely meant as a setup more than protection.[/u]

[b]Savior Force[/b]
Not much to say. It's just good.

[b]Savior Ray[/b]
I like it. You know that the way it's worded now it can discard itself and then Special Summon? But that's what makes it good

[u]Yeah, I know. But it removes itself from play after being Special Summoned, so it's much more balanced than Machina Fortress.[/u]

[b]Lost Savior Dragon[/b]
Not much to say, it's just pro.

[u]I think this is one of the more debatably overpowered cards I made, considering the support =/. Especially since it can be used to summon other Synchros as well. But, well.[/u][/quote]

Thanks for the detailed review, I greatly appreciate it. I'll be sure to return the favor.

[玄魔の王]

The first two Synchros are just their anime effects, which were awesome but kinda OP. The other stuff here... kinda cool. Reminds me of my old Saviour thread. 8.5/10.
