Otherworld Archetype

[gimmepie]

I based the cards on politics so I figure it makes sense that they're lockdown cards. Bad political humour aside I thought I'd try a slightly different form of lockdown and get other people opinions. There will probably be more to come, please review.

Backbencher: When this card is used in synchro summon this card is treated as a level 4<<im not sure cuz i dont favour sychros
Otherworld GoveRnor: Choose 1 "Otherworld" monster in your graveyard. This card gains the effect of the chosen monster until this card is removed from the field.
Representative/senator: Once per turn/duel Your opponent chooses two trap/spell cards from their deck and places them face-up in the spell and trap card zone without activating the effects of the cards and then shuffles their deck. The chosen cards cannot be destroyed by the effects of a spell or trap card. i dont get the point

Your OCG fixes are still wrong, but that's okay, itss nice of you to start helping people. Just keep learning, trying, and helping.

@gimmepie : You have a lot of OCG errors, but sorry, I won't fix it(too many), Okay, Otherworld Representative and Senator, IMO you should remove the "The selected cards
cannot be destroyed by the
effects of a spell or trap card." to make it balanced.
Otherworld President, you giving your opponent to Special Summon a monster from his/her deck? Maybe it cannot be tributed, but they can use it to Synchro Summon or Exceed Summon. You should say "The selected monster's effect(s) is negated and cannot be used for a Synchro Summon or Xyz Summon."

[ragnarok1945]

All Senator does is take up some spell/trap slots, nothing really more

to that end it somewhat reminds me of Ojama King's effect to a slight degree, which is still good, but maybe a bit too similar

[gimmepie]

@Jack: The point is to lock down the opponents field. This whole archetype is about locking down your opponent.

@Hell Heat: Sorry about the OCG, I'm really bad at it. I definitely need to prevent people from synchro summoning or exceed summoning with the effect. There are a lot of spell and traps that destroy other spells/traps on the field, the whole point of locking down your opponents spell/trap slots wouldn't be worth it if it was so easily undone, the balancing factor is that monster effects still work.

@ragnarock: I did get some inspiration from the Ojama cards, I'll admit that. For memory the Ojama lockdown strategy is about monsters though not spells and traps also isn't it?

Thanks for the help people, I've just edited President and there should be a few more cards on the way, suggestions are welcome.

It's okay, at first my OCG is terrible too.

[Sander]

Lol, you're saying that this archtype is "locking down" your opponent? By the looks of Senator and Representative, all you're doing is giving your opponent advantage to beat you, since you did not state that the cards set by Senator and Representative cannot be activated. Same goes for Queen and King.

And if you did mean that your opponent cannot activate the S/T's set by Senator / Representative, your wording is way off.

LOL

This archtype is supposed to lockdown?
More like the opposite..
(Also you should fix the picture of Queen...it's really blurry)

[gimmepie]

I always have issues with wording, yes effects are cancelled. I also need to change the effect involving monsters to state that the monsters cannot be changed from defence. Any help you can give on wording is appreciated.

Also to clarify, this isn't a typical lockdown the point is to lockdown the opponent [b]with their own monsters[/b].

@Star I'm trying different things to fix the picture atm but nothing is working.

[raaabr]

When you put it that way, then yes, it does work. It's definently unique (in it's own way). Maybe you should add a support card like "vote" or "Democracy of the otherworld".

[gimmepie]

@raaabr I'm currently working out some more cards to go with the archetype and will definitely include cards with those titles or similar titles, I'm aiming to put a twist on the lockdown strategy so thanks for pointing out the uniqueness.

Then get another picture..
(Try going on Deviant art..they might have something there.)

[raaabr]

hmmm.... I just remembered all those times in duels where i would completely lockdown my own field because i was spamming monsters.

[gimmepie]

Update: Otherworld Bill, Otherworld President and Otherworld Queen have been edited and Judgement of the Otherworld, Release of the Dark Prisoner and Leader of the Resistance added.

[raaabr]

Where is the dark prisoner? Anyway, love the art. In my humble opinion, i'd give it a 8.9/10. (If i'm allowed to make ratings)

[gimmepie]

Dark Prisoner already exists [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Prisoner"]http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Prisoner[/url]. Ratings are fine, thanks.

[raaabr]

Ah. I see use in these cards in a burn deck. Just add them, and then lockdown, then keep on burning the opponent until you win.

[gimmepie]

Interesting idea. Funny you say that as I'm also working on a burn archetype right now, I'll probably post it soon.

[raaabr]

Also much more effective than a ordinary lockdown deck. Instead of preventing them from summoning monsters through spells/traps (which can be easily destroyed), You instead completely overload their field with monsters that they cant use properly. It screws up a beatdown deck. A stall deck is doomed anyways. Instant win decks dont have much chance either. It's like a all purpose deck!

[gimmepie]

Wow, I never thought of that, I just wanted to put a twist on a classic deck type. Awesome! thanks.

[raaabr]

Question: What will the burn type deck post be?

[gimmepie]

What do you mean by that? IM it because I don't want to go off topic.

[raaabr]

Hehe... sorry. Just curious.

[gimmepie]

It's fine. I'm going with a classic idea on the burn basing it around fire but I'll try and work twists into it. Try to keep this on-topic from now on if you have un-related questions I'm happy to answer them in IM.

[raaabr]

Maybe a card like "Unfair judgement" to tribute one monster to get a dark prisoner. That would make it much easier to summon leader of the resistance.
