An angelic Xyz support set [42/??]

Recommended Posts

The current metagame is heavily reliant on Xyz Monsters, with lots of monsters detached from them to activate effects. It gave me an idea: What if we would have monsters which gain their effects when detached in such a way? Thus, I made my own set around this concept.

These are a very good set of cards. My only concerns are that the non-xyz cards that get effects from being detached shouldn't way when this "monster" is detached it should say when this "card" is detached. Because xyz material are not treated as monsters therefore they would never get their effects off. Second the first Xyz monster that sends a card from your opponents extra deck is somewhat of-putting because I don't know if you're allowed to go in your opponents extra deck and see what they have. Other than that great set.

Thank you for your corrections! Somehow I forgot about the fact that Xyz Materials are not treated as monsters anymore, I reworded them following your suggestions. I also changed the effect of that Xyz Monster, I hope it solves the issues regarding the ruling.

I bump this topic. I added 5 more cards to the set: Angelic Innocence (a support spell for the Level 2 Angel monsters), Angel Queen Gloria (a pseudo boss monster for the archetype with a Level disrupting effect), Angelic Twilight Mirror (an anti-DARK trap card), Gynoid Angel (an anti-Machine monster) and Skyrider Angel (which helps recovering your hand)

I am glad you like the set! I wanted to make it in a way so it is both effective and pleasing to the eyes, heh.
Fun facts:
- Lifegiver Angel's stats (800 ATK / 1400 DEF) are the reverse of the stats of Shining Angel (1400 ATK / 800 DEF), and their effects both Summon LIGHT monsters from the Deck. (In fact, their effect could summon each other)
- Muse Angel's stats (800 ATK / 2000 DEF) are the same as the stats of Spirit of the Harp, with the musical instrument of choice also fitting.

To be honest, I don't exactly remember the image source. I guess it was from Danbooru, but as it is an NSFW site, I couldn't exactly link to there anyway.

Also, I added 4 more cards: a Rank 6 monster, a Field Spell Card and a monster which helps fetching it, and a Trap Card with a protective effect against direct attacks, in a pseudo-Battle Fader way.

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=3]About the cards, they seem pretty legit in balance and creativity. They could help the other Fairies in the game a lot. Most of the Fairy Support Cards don't have that much support at all (except for Zeradias and the "Hall of the Fallen".) From what I can gather, "Valkyrian Angel acts as Zeradias' counterpart, as it searches for "Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen" instead of the Sanctuary in the Sky. [/size][/font]

[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"][size=3]Plus "Angelic Innocence" can work two ways: You can Special Summon an "Angel" from your hand (as long as it's Level 2 or lower), or it can act as a searcher for another "Angel" monster.[/size][/font]

[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"][size=3]All in all, it's a pretty awesome set and I expect to see more. And sorry 'bout my last post, I was getting a bit off topic. ^^;;[/size][/font]

Actually, Valkyrian Angel is more like the "detached from an Xyz Monster" counterpart for Hecatrice, as they both fetch for Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen. The counterpart for Zeradias would be Skygazer Angel, except that it can search for both Sanctuary in the Sky and the Field Spell Card of this set, Angelic Borderland.

I also updated the first post - now the cards are in spoilers, each spoiler containing 10 cards, except the last one, for the sake of easier organization. Furthermore, I added 3 more cards, including a local version of Reinforcement of the Army.

It's an interesting concept of cards that have effects activated from becoming detached from XYZ monsters, and maybe it's just me, but I'd find it hard to put them in my deck since until their detached from an XYZ monster their basically just normal monsters.

Well, you are kind of right about them being "one-shot" regarding their effect, but I created them so that one usage will make enough impact to make them effective. As you noticed, some of them are specific counters to some popular deck types. Maybe, they are not that fast, but without playtesting, it is kind of hard to decide it. I hope they are balanced in the way you are.

Amazing set, I love it 11/10. I rlly like the anti xyz/synchro feel of it. Though i do have 1 problem :P the name "Crucified Angel" sounds just a bit controversial, maybe you can change it to sacrificed angel or burdened angel. Just saying, some people get really over reactive so yeh for that 10.5/10. Anyways, i still really like it. ^^
