Army of the Shooting Star! [7/40]

Recommended Posts

First off, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!!! Please comment, rate, and Rep!!!
I have had this set for a while now, and I think it is pretty awesome. It is a 40 card set that focus on a load of things. First off, all the monsters are a level 3, besides the level 5 or highers. The Field Spell plays a main role in the deck. The deck mostly stalls your opponent. The level 5 or higher monsters generally have 2000 or less ATK. Most Spell and Traps are Continuous or they lose their effects when their are face-down Spells or Traps. I will start by posting the cards that contribute the most to the deck. For each constructive comment given, I will post another card, so keep giving your opinion!!! Now, without further ado, The Army of the Shooting Star!!!

I only give reviews to full sets, but I have some thoughts:

As far as I can see the whole plan with the deck seems to rely heavily on [i]one[/i] card, namely "Starshot Palace", and to be honest I think the effect is kind of weird, inflexible and unfair. Proof of inflexibility I think comes from the Starshot monsters "Gladiator" and "Dragon" both sharing [i]the same[/i] effect: [i]This card is unaffected by the effects of "Starshot Palace"[/i] (I know "Dragon" has some more effects but that does not make it ok to me). By the way I would go for something more like: “This card is unaffected by Field Spells” to make it sound less bound to that particular Spell Card.

Another monster, “Canceller”, has way too high ATK for a Level 3 effect monster, it should really be a Level 4; “but wait! That would mean …” – you see, I think the effect handicaps your own monsters too much, like you have to work against it and not with it. Like it provides restrictions rather than opportunities, but hey, the whole set is not up yet. I am looking forward to seeing and reviewing the finished product, and have my assumptions proven wrong.


[size="1"]P.S. Do not get the wrong idea from my criticism, I like many things about the set. And I will not give a final judgment before I have seen all of the cards.

D.S. I think you should have added more cards (if they were done) from the start. The more cards, the easier it is to give criticism.[/size]

I think that these cards are almost flawless. That's because the pics are cool and not boring (no white background). The OCG is good too. Finally the ATK and DEF are very balanced.

Starshot Palace is good because it balances out the ATK of other monsters. You may not agree but I think Starshot Gladiator should be a Level 8 instead of Level 9 because its only effect is,"This card is unaffected by the effects of 'Starshot Palace'". The ATK is only 2900 but Blue-Eyes White Dragon(a Level 8) has 3000 ATK. Also the 1800 DEF is very low for a Level 9. Blue-Eyes White Dragon has 2500 DEF.

So, in all, I'd rate this a 9.5/10.

p.s. I rated this 5 stars :)

Blue eyes is also a Vanilla. Just saying... ATK and DEF aren't based on the level, nor vice versa. And while you're giving us your opinion, what flaw do the cards contain?

As for the set. Pretty good. Nice pics. WTS moar honest XD

Gladiator could use an alternate method of summoning, especially considering the fast paced play of yugioh today.

Nice set but some of the card effects are too restrictive, in my opinion if this set and the cards are real it'll be very difficult to try to plan a strategy with these cards, but I can't conclude anything on this set unless you finish it, I guess these cards I made for Expert YGO card players with superior strategy skills. But then I digress. 8.5/10

I life the main idea of these cards but i think "Barrier" its too powerfull. Its not quiet balance because your monster are all level 3 and the big ones are unaffecte by the field spell card. So its allmost like ur opponents has no chance of doing anything unless he destroy that trap card. I think you should add more sacrifice to you when u are using those cards. For example, decrease or increase the lv of themselves when activate a particular effect that would benefit to you.. in that way, you have to pay to activate cool effects. Also, what about the counters??? I main deck its well balance and not banned when u have to suffer almost to play with it.. Check my new archetype Blackwood Forest.. u have cool effects but the big cost its that you will never be able to swamp the field with monsters... you will always have 1 o 2 monters on the field unless you dont activate the effects..


7/10 for the main idea.
