The World's Smallest Nuclear Armageddon

[Stan Alda]

Earlier this year, I made a very small set based around summoning a nuclear missile in a method similar to "Great Moth" and rendering up to 3 Monster Zones useless. It worked well enough, but I had bigger plans. I intended this missile to initiate a "nuclear winter" that would allow the players to summon radioactive mutant versions of various classic monsters.

I finally got to working on it about a week ago. Originally, I was going to use wimps like "Celtic Guardian" and "Takriminos", but after the slamming of my (in retrospect) UP'd "Hot-Rolling Mill", I'm turning up the heat with monsters in the 2000-odd ATK/DEF range, all Vanillas...till now, that is. First, we need to get the missile going. (And yes, I've gotten flak for using spoilers, but I think it streamlines the post and makes it easier to read. So there.)

When you declare an attack with this card, offer this card as a Tribute to inflict 1500 damage to your opponent's Life Points, destroy the selected monster, and activate 1 "Endless Nuclear Winter" from your hand or Deck. Your opponent cannot use the destroyed monster's Monster Zone. If this card is sent to the Graveyard for any reason except for its own effect, inflict 500 damage to your Life Points as long as this card is in the Graveyard.

Once per turn, during your Main Phase, if you control this card on the field, you can equip it to your "'Tabula Rasa' ICBM" as an Equip Card, OR unequip the Union equipment and send this card to the Graveyard. If this card is sent to the Graveyard by "'Tabula Rasa' ICBM"'s effect, select 2 Monster Card Zones on your opponent's side of the field. The selected zones cannot be used for the next 5 turns. If there are Monster Cards on the selected Monster Card Zones, destroy those monsters. (1 monster can only be equipped with 1 Union Monster at a time.)

While equipped to a monster by this card's effect, you cannot declare an attack with the equipped monster or activate its effect(s). (1 monster can only be equipped with 1 Union Monster at a time. If the equipped monster would be destroyed by a Spell, Trap, or monster effect, negate that effect. If the equipped monster would be destroyed as a result of battle, negate the attack.)

SPELL/Field
This card can only be activated by the effect of "'Neutron Warhead". This card cannot be negated or destroyed by Spell, Trap, or monster effects. As long as this card is on the field, decrease the ATK and DEF of all non-Machine, Fiend, Zombie, or Rock monsters, except "Radioactive Mutant"s, on the field by 750 and decrease the ATK and DEF of all Machine, Fiend, or Rock-type monsters on the field by 500. Both players can Normal Summon 1 "Radioactive Mutant" monster during their respective Main Phases.


Now that that's all done, it's time for the good part. The "Radioactive Mutant" monsters are almost identical to each other in effect, and they're statistically identical to their non-mutant forms. This is their effect:

[i][b]This monster cannot be Normal Summoned or Set unless "Endless Nuclear Winter" is on the field. This card can only be Special Summoned by its own effect. This card is also treated as a Zombie-Type monster, and as a LIGHT and DARK monster [unless they're already LIGHT or DARK, then it's just "and as a LIGHT/DARK monster]. This monster can be used as a Fusion Material Monster for a monster that requires "[normal version of this monster]". If a Fusion Monster is summoned in this way, it is treated as a "Radioactive Mutant" Dissolver monster. If this monster is sent to the Graveyard by a Spell, Trap, or monster effect, or as a result of battle, you can Special Summon this card from your Graveyard during your next Main Phase.[/b][/i]


The main point is to get self-resurrecting Dissolver versions of such classic Fusions as Meteor B.

Nice set you got here, dude. Nice concept, too. One thing, though, shouldn't "Centrifuge of Enrichment" be a Union card, since it equips to "U-235"?

Not really. I just copied and pasted the effect of "Cocoon of Evolution", and it's not a Union monster. Thanks anyway.

Ah, "Cocoon of Evolution". I remember that one. I think one of my friends has a "Great Moth"/Insect deck.

[Stan Alda]

I was bored, so I made a Booster for it.

And before you lynch me, I made the title as an homage to [i]Dr. Strangelove, Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb[/i]. So there.

[Nardo Icarus]

How do you make boosters? I might make one for my own set I'm working on.

[nkschlosser]

I dont have much time online so to make sure that I get as much stuff as possible of my post out it will come in some smaller posts. Please do not think this is spamming. First I love the set. This is the weirdest idea that Ive seen in a while. Plus it has potential. I think you should make more mutant monsters.

[Ginko]

1, i'm sure recycling card images isn't what is really gone for in creating a unique deck
2. "dissolver" is not a real type, in which case these cards should not be put in the realistic section
3. the lore doesn't really make sense for your dissolver monsters. it should read:
[i][b]This monster cannot be Normal Summoned or Set unless "Endless Nuclear Winter" is face up on the field. This card can only be Special Summoned by its own effect. This card is also treated as a Zombie-Type monster. This monster is treated as a LIGHT and DARK monster. This monster can be used as a Fusion Material Monster for a monster that requires "[normal version of this monster]". If a Fusion Monster is summoned using this card, it is treated as a "Radioactive Mutant" Dissolver monster. If this monster is sent to the Graveyard by a Spell, Trap, or monster effect, or as a result of battle, you can Special Summon this card from your Graveyard during your next Main Phase 1.[/b][/i]

I beieve that you are right ad that even though I love this set, It should not be in realistic cards. BTW in computer speak M A N00B XD

FYI Im on a crappy portable device that wont let me fix my dang typos. that is supposed to be IM not M. I also cant edit so I have to d stuff like this in a different post.

1...you got me on that one.
2. I should explain. The Dissolver subtype is one that I made. [url="http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/250671-the-dissolver-subtype/page__fromsearch__1"]http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/250671-the-dissolver-subtype/page__fromsearch__1[/url]
3. Thanks for the OCG fix.

Good Cards But It Would Be Easyer if it were sorted out by monster, spell, Trap And So On But In All The Cards Were Good.

pretty awesome

Yeah Nice Cards, I Give You A 8.9/10!:--)

[Stan Alda]

I know adding a card to a finished set is against the rules, but this is too good an idea to pass up. I made another Union monster for the ICBM--"Neutron Warhead". Instead of the ICBM automatically activating "Endless Nuclear Winter", it will only activate ENW when it is equipped with this card. The idea was to set up a few separate strategies for this set--either use a straight, single-zone attack (no union), knock out 3 monster zones (MIRV Upgrade), or set up the Endless Nuclear Winter/Radioactive Mutant strategy (Neutron Warhead).
