Archers: a new archetype

[cardshark000]

I'm sorry if the cards don't appear at first, I'm new to tinypic >.>

Anyways, the idea I had in creating this archetypes was something along the lines of having cards that doubled as both monsters and spell cards. My main concerns are whether or not they could be overpowered, and how my OCG conforms to the standards, so any criticism, constructive or otherwise, is welcomed. (Though i'd prefer constructive criticism, to be honest).

I'm going to add new Synchros/XYZs eventually to account for the addition of these new monsters.

I hope you like them!

I really like the concept. It provides room for an even wider variety of effects as well. I do think the XYZ is OP though. It has 2600, can Special Summon any other archer and then that effect gets stacked on as well? You should have some way to balance this out. My suggestion is lower the ATK to about 2200 and put a restriction/drawback on the Special Summoning. Perhaps something like the Special Summoned Archer cannot attack the turn it is Special Summoned.

[cardshark000]

Yeah, I agree with you on the XYZ being overpowered. I'll go fix that.

[Zazubat]

*cough* all your archers are warrior types, so fusion should be changed.

[cardshark000]

Yeah... I'm thinking that eventually I might branch out and make non-warrior archers eventually, so I believed it was warranted to put a type restriction there. (Also, it puts another restriction on its summoning, making it so that if my opponent used DNA surgery, or another similar card, it prevents its summoning, making it slightly more balanced in my opinion).

On a separate note, would anyone have any suggestions for future Archers?

[SunKistRebelution]

Elven-based archers that are Spellcasters?

[cardshark000]

Hm... I would probably go for that idea, except for the fact that two of my cards are already based off of elves. However, i did decide to create more support for the already existing Archers, so expect some more cards soon.

EDIT: The new monsters are in, please let me know what you think.

[cardshark000]

Bump.
