APAS Apollonian Assault (39/60)

[Circéus]

I started to come up with made-up cards almost as soon as I got into the game, and continued to come back to it even after I stopped playing years ago. Having recently discovered the cad maker, I decided to try and update my stuff. Please remember that I originally stopped following the game around Soul of the Duelist, and some of these may interact unexpectedly with cards since released (or outright exist now: at least one card I had to shelve was a weaker version of Double Summon!).

This set is primarily based off Greek mythology, with the primary archetype introduced being the Apollo cards (I've been debating switching at least some to "Apollonian", comments regarding that are appreciated), but I hope to develop several more series of more-or-less related cards from the ideas featured in "Atalanta" and "River God - Peneus" (a River God archetype in particular seems like an obvious choice in retrospect).

This is a 60 cards set based on the series 4 sets (from "Soul of the Duelist" to "Enemy of Justice"), since they are well defined and reasonably consistent in card and rarity distribution. They are not yet updated to 2011 card grammar. Any later sets I post will be, however.
