Dawn of the Brawl

[TheKaitoKid]

YCM, I present to you the main monsters of my new set Dawn of the Brawl. They're Beast Brawlers. At their core, these monsters are simply beaters. However, they do it better than most other cards by eliminating the use of all cards and effects during the Battle Phase. They also generate advantage during the Main Phase 2, making them incredibly dynamic. So without further ado, here they are.

[b]Weaknesses: [/b][list]
[*]None of these monsters have an original ATK exceeding 1800. This means they can be taken care of by common monsters in the meta game such as T-King or Sabersaurus.
[*]They're still susceptible to good old fashioned monster removal that doesn't take place during the Battle Phase.
[*]They lock down ALL cards and effects during the Battle Phase. This means if it comes down to it, they will simply get run over.'

Any thoughts? I'm open to CC.

I LOVE THEM!!! BEAT STICKS, BEAT STICKS, BEAT STICKS, BEAT STICKS!! Man this is the best beat sticking archetype I've seen on here in a while.


First I am not sure on the wording but no effects during the battle phase sounds like their own effects would get negated but idk I could be wrong.

Second I love the fact that they are somewhat slow, since they solely rely on killing things to be super useful its not likely that they will be able to maximize their own effects. because people don't swarm with creatures weak enough to be run over by these things.

On the plus side the deck doesn't seem like it would be hindered by a solidarity and Enraged Battle Ox which would be great for lulz.

Seeing that the tiger is limited (though you have a searching spell probably at 3) seems like it would be nice for the set.

In short I love them. good job.

[TheKaitoKid]

Thanks. I was very particular with the wording. Effects and cards cannot be [i]activated[/i] but Continuous effects (they don't activate) will still work.

[FTW (For The Wynn)]

There's a lot of potential in this Deck. However, there are 2 cards that concern me a great deal.

1. The spell card. The second effect is very nearly pointless. You don't have to change it though, but the chances of it getting used are extremely slim and pretty much overruled by the first effect anyway when it can be used.

2. My biggest is the Werewolf. Its effect makes this Deck too much. Suddenly, monsters go from having at max 1800 ATK to 2100. And then 2400 when the second comes out. And then 2700. This would not be a problem if the didn't all have killer effects. So, I would either add a cost to that or I would change the effect to maybe 1 card gains 300 ATK and DEF until the End Phase.

Overall, I like this concept. A bunch of monsters that have great power but could potentially stab themselves in the hand with it.

[TheKaitoKid]

In regards to the Spell, the second effect is so that you can combo well with Sord. It nets you a free pop [that you would need if you were able to meet the conditions]. Outside of that, it's not just a boring searcher card. As for the Werewolf, I don't love it either. Maybe this is better?

What program do you use to make the cards?

[-Griffin]

Sord feels broken. It can summon copies of itself to blow things up while being a beatstick, & it's totally generic.

Majik feels badly designed. I'm rarely a fan of hand disruption, but if you want it, shuffle/graveyard/bottom-of-deck is a better design choice than the top of the Deck. Top of the Deck leads to boring, stagnent draws for your opponent.
