This Account is Unplayable Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 [center]So, one of my favourite cards of all time is Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys, but I always felt that it needed more support, so to speak. I realise the origin of the card came from Nephthys, an ancient Egyptian. That's all I really know on the topic, but that's irrelevant. I felt like taking this on a tangent to that, and in stead focus on the Sacred Phoenix side of things, and here's what I've got so far. [spoiler=For anyone unfamiliar with "Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys" and "Hand of Nephthys"] [img]http://i630.photobucket.com/albums/uu21/TwinSpir3/SacredPhoenixofNephthys.png[/img] [spoiler=Lore]If this card is destroyed by a card effect, Special Summon this card from the Graveyard during your next Standby Phase.

When you do this, activate the effects of the monster Summoned by this effect as though it was Summoned by its own effect.[/spoiler] [img]http://i630.photobucket.com/albums/uu21/TwinSpir3/Havas-SacredPhoenixofFlames.jpg[/img] [spoiler=Lore]If this monster destroys a monster by battle, you can discard 1 card to add one "Sacred Phoenix" monster from your Deck to your hand.

This Account is Unplayable Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Added two more cards. Would really appreciate some criticism on this set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Frost Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 [quote name='Hounds of Anubis' timestamp='1301752014' post='5107314'] [spoiler=Monsters] [spoiler=Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys - Incarnate] You can tribute this monster and [b]1[/b] other monster on your side of the field to [b]Special Summon[/b] one "Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys" [b]that is removed from play or[/b] your [b]Graveyard[/b]. When you do this, [b]activate the effects of the monster Summoned by this effect[/b] as though it was Summoned by its own effect.[/spoiler] My Comment: This card is awesome. It completes the cycle from where SPN can come from. Very nice card and well balanced. [spoiler=Havas - Sacred Phoenix of Flames] If this monster destroys [b]a[/b] monster [b]by[/b] battle[b],[/b] you can discard [b]1[/b] card to add one "Sacred Phoenix" monster from your [b]Deck[/b] to your hand. If this card is destroyed by a card effect, [b]Special Summon[/b] it during your next [b]Standby Phase[/b] and draw 1 card.[/spoiler] My Comment: Strange. I would normally think Oped, but that isn’t the case for this card. It’s quite balanced and has very useful effects. [spoiler=Sacred Phoenix of the Dark Curse] If this card is destroyed by a card effect controlled by your opponent, [b]Special Summon[/b] it during your next [b]Sandby Phase.[/b][/spoiler] My Comment: Great defense set-up! Weak enough so that Cyber Dragon can ram over it, but effective enough that it can only be destroyed (permanently) by battle! Love it! [spoiler=Sacred Phoenix - Tzar the Ice Emperor] If your opponent controls more monsters than you [b]do[/b], you can [b]Special Summon[/b] this card by tributing one "Sacred Phoenix" monster on your side of the field. When this card is [b]Normal or Special Summoned[/b], you can discard one "Sacred Phoenix" monster or one "Hand of Nephthys" from your hand to destroy 2 face-up cards on the field.[/spoiler] My Comment: Great card. Strong like Cyber Dragon, destructive like Mobius, and well balanced. A very effective card that makes swarming a horrible thing for your opponent, but not too powerful that it completely breaks the card. [spoiler=Phoenixian Spirit Overlord] This monster is treated as a "Sacred Phoenix" monster. This card cannot be [b]Special Summoned[/b] except by its own effect. [b]This card can only be Normal Summoned or Set by tributing 2 “Sacred Phoenix” monsters on your side of the field[/b]. If this card is destroyed by a card effect, during the [b]End Phase[/b] of the turn it is destroyed, [b]Special Summon this card on[/b] your side of the field and destroy 1 card your opponent controls.[/spoiler] My Comment: A powerful help to the Sacred Phoenix. Love it’s revival effect and its strict summoning conditions are not too horrid as to make this card completely unplayable. Not only that but it’s effect totally tramples Starlight Road! Great Card. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Spells] [spoiler=]Arise from Ashes] Discard [b]1[/b] "Sacred Phoenix" or "Hand of Nephthys" monster card from your hand to the [b]Graveyard and Special Summon 1[/b] level 4 or lower "Sacred Phoenix" monster or "Hand of Nephthys" from your [b]Graveyard[/b]. Destroy that card in your [b]2nd End Phase[/b] after this card's activation.[/spoiler] My Comment: Good, a type of monster reborn that can be abused with Havas and SPN itself. Amazing support. [spoiler=Burst Into Flames] Destroy one "Sacred Phoenix" monster on your side of the field and draw 1 card.[/spoiler] My Comment: Simple card and simple effect. Destroy 1, draw 1 and then chain the effect of either Havas to draw 2 cards total, or SPN to wipe out all Spell and Traps on the field. [spoiler=Soul of the Sacred Phoenix] Select [b]1[/b] face-up "Sacred Phoenix" monster on your side of the field and [b]1[/b] monster on your opponent's side of the field. Destroy the [b]selected[/b] "Sacred Phoenix" monster on your side of the field, and halve the [b]ATK[/b] of the [b]selected[/b] monster on your opponent's side of the field.[/spoiler] My comment: Decent card. Almost like Shrink except it halves the ATK despite having equips or other effects and is permanent, making it a set up for a nice kill. Even a 5000 ATK monster will be brought down to it’s knees by Phoenixian Overlord during the next turn. Nice. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Trap] [spoiler=Phoenixian Sacrifice] Activate only when your opponent declares an attack and selects a "Sacred Phoenix" monster as [b]an attack[/b] target. Discard [b]1[/b] card to negate the attack and destroy [b]that[/b] monster. The "Sacred Phoenix" monster targeted by the attack [b]cannot be[/b] destroyed [b]by[/b] battle [b]until the End Phase of the turn[/b].[/spoiler] My Comment: Decent card. Like sakuretsu and waboku put together except you can still take battle damage. Not bad. [spoiler=Enrage Phoenix] Activate only [b]while[/b] you control [b]1[/b] face-up "Sacred Phoenix" monster. Negate the effect of an opponent's [b]Spell, Trap, or Effect Monster[/b] and destroy [b]1[/b] monster on your side of the field.[/spoiler] My Comment: Good negation. Makes Sacred Phoenix almost unstoppable afterwards because it chains to this card, and doesn’t miss it’s timing at all!! Have SPN face-up on the field, opponent activates a destruction effect, you activate this card, negate that card and destroy SPN, and then resolve SPN’s effect who is now a Spell Speed 3 card and can’t be bottomlessed!!! At least I think that’s how it should work since the chain is still in effect. If not, it’s still an awesome card to play. [/spoiler] [/quote] This entire set is completely awesome!! I corrected much of the OCG, and the theme looks pretty solid. Rate: 9.7/10 Now for my question: Can I use this set for an upcoming fan-fic? Plz?!?!?

This Account is Unplayable Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Thanks for the corrections, I'll implement them now.

Cody Frost Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Suggests a Sacred Phoenix Tuner/Synchro/Fusion/Exceed monster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Account is Unplayable Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 I was thinking maybe a Tuner and a Synchro, but the only cards that would be used for Synchro-ing would be the level 4's, or else it would slow the deck down too much, and in my opinion that just ruins the point when you've got a level 4 that's hard to destroy, then all you have to do is summon the tuner for an even better monster. I dunno, that's just what I think on the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Frost Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Then how about an Exceed Monster that allows you to summon your monsters back from the Grave? Something like: [i]Once per turn, you can destroy this card to Special Summon 1 "Sacred Phoenix" monster from your Graveyard. That monster is destroyed during your next Standby Phase. If this card is destroyed by a card effect, Special Summon this card during the End Phase of the turn it was destroyed.[/i] Gives you swarm abilites, but at a steady pace.

This Account is Unplayable Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Ok, personally I'm not too familiar with the terms, but what does "Exceed" monster mean exactly? Otherwise yeh, I was thinking of a similar effect. I think I'll mind-map some tomorrow and see what I get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Account is Unplayable Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Well, added 3 new monsters, decided to try to vary from just the Winged-Beasts and figured that I may as well add in a simple Synchro. Added a new spell too, I think it works quite nicely as a "Phoenix-engine" card, so to speak. Thoughts and criticism much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Frost Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 The last three cards are very good. They provide a decent run engine for this set by Speeding up ways to Summon other Phonexian monsters. Nice additions. Also, about Exceed Monsters: [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Exceed_Monster"]Exceed Monsters[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Account is Unplayable Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Thanks for the Exceed Monsters link, makes more sense now, doubt I'll be making any in the near future though. As for the overall effects of these cards... do they seem a bit too much or something? I mean none of them are really destroyed outside of battle, and almost any card results in a net gain... so I'm not entirely sure on whether they're slightly OP or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Frost Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 They're actually good as is. The net gain is due to chaining the cards correctly, but this can easily be stopped with a well time Spell, Trap or Monster effect or Counter. The set is looking fine!

This Account is Unplayable Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Alright, added another 2 monsters. Feeling as though I'm almost done now. Think they need a lil' more spell/trap support and that'll be about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Frost Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 The last two additions don't seem to be main cards I would run on a Phoenixian deck. Still, their there for whenever you do need them. I just didn't feel the same vive like I did from your first works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Account is Unplayable Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Probably because all the good ideas are gone. I was kinda going for a whole "Part of a set, but not a main part" anyway, all the monsters are there that need to be, now, they're kinda like a bonus to the set. Think Blackwing, or Naturia. Those are pretty good examples of sets that simply have too many cards for them to all be effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Frost Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Lol, so true. Well I'll see what you come up with. You never know, you might get that 1 card that was ment to be bonus, but isnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Account is Unplayable Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Added one final Trap card and I'm calling it the end of this little project of mine. Should I just request this be moved to the completed sets forum, or make a new, snazzier thread myself? EDIT: Forgot to include the Field Spell. OK, now I'm finished.
