Skuntank Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 I am going to start posting cards from the "Balloon" archetype I have made here. The "Balloon"s focus on summoning lots of weak monsters which can be tributed to activate various effects of spells, traps, or monsters (Think of Tokens and "Tokenfeastivel" and such like that.) while occasionally being able to synchro a stronger monster. The theme will be Balloons and early aviation techniques such as kites, and a smaller amount of the cards (such as the main three balloon cards, H Balloon, HE Balloon, and O Balloon) will make reference to chemical gasses. (Hydrogen, Helium, and Oxygen, respectively.) I will post more cards later, but here are two examples of what I am talking about.

NeoRWBY65 Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 HE Balloon is useful. You can get out three in one turn, then tribute them or overlay them for a monster that requires three monsters. I will give my comments on Combustive Reaction after I see O Balloon and H Balloon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 HE balloon is meh for not having any effects while on the field. Therefore, it's only useful for quick synchro/xyz food or something for Combustion Rection though, the O effect is meh 1000 LP isn't really much of a gain, and therefore isn't really practical the 1000 burn on the other hand is much better HE effect is meh, but at least it's a good substitute for Harpy's Feather Duster, so it's good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimmepie Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Just so you know you mean He (like Au) the second letter is always in lower-case. He balloon has a useful effect in regards to easy synchro/xyz food. Put this in a deck with The Tricky or Cyber Dragon and you practically have an instant stardust or scrap or w/e. Otherwise it isn't overly useful unless you add a burn to it for when it is easily killed. Your trap seems alright, but as Tigerstar said we haven't seen the rest yet. I'd say so far so good though.

Northern Sage Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 All of these cards are way too powerful. HE Balloon allows easy Rank 3s, since it isn't restricted at all (which is bad and not very good card design) A recommendable restriction would be that it cannot be Special Summoned if there are multiples of that card on the field. Combustion Reaction is broken only because of the first effect. If you made it more like Token support cards and made the effects add up to the number of "Balloon" monsters destroyed, it wouldn't be nearly as broken. And in that case, lower the burn/Life Point gain somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skuntank Posted December 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Hmmm true on all posts. I'll post O and H Balloon soon and you can see those then. I'll think of a new He Balloon ability; you guys have really good points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCG warrior Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 I'd like to say something about the name of your first balloon; the abbreviation for helium is He and not HE, HE suggests that it is a molecule (H atom and E, of which the E is energy), while He suggests that it is just helium (the He atom) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimmepie Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Don't change the effect, add a restriction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Spinda Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 I like the theme, but it seems like you might have to add a few more monsters 5 stars and up to make it more powerful. If their is a field card, how about something like "Super Happy Ballon Parade"? It could let you summon a token when a ballon monster is destroyed, or something like that.

[/quote] Sounds like a good idea. I am going to fine tune my "Super Balloon Zeppelin" card (btw; what do you guys think? Synchro or just an effect monster? or a fusion? not sure...) but the field sounds kewl; try posting it. Should look kewl. PS: Skuntank uses super gruff roar! Critical hit!!

[/quote] Well just wanted to say that (like I said in the intro message) Tokens and Token like abilities are exactly what I am trying to go for here. ie; Clown Kid's (another monster I will make) ability; When this card is Flip Summoned, Special Summon 2 "Balloon Tokens" To you or your opponents side of the field. I enjoy the comments guys, keep 'em comin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimmepie Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 I'd say special summon it by tributing your three balloons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skuntank Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Good idea; that's what I should have thought of in the first place. I'll be Posting "Super Balloon Zeppelin" later today. (Hopefully) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skuntank Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Well I posted "Super Balloon Zeppelin"! My main question about it to you guys is; Do you think that the attack should be more? Or less? Hmmmm...... I'll be posting some spell / trap cards next. Hopefully a field spell will be coming!

gimmepie Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Okay.... I would make the attack more I'd put it at about 2500, but 1500 also works. It's effect however is OPed without a restriction... since it's a blimp maybe make it so fire or wind monsters can still attack it/be attacked by it normally. Also I'd make it a machine, but that's just an aesthetic choice that I would make, it really doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skuntank Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Good point about effect; I originally had his ATK 2500, but felt effect too powerful. Fire and Wind working is a pretty good restriction, but in the end I'll probably just make it a different effect. Machine.... nice idea. Balloons are thunder cuz nothing else really fits, but a big ol zeppelin WOULD be a machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
