Aix Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 This is my Rats Archetype. The main point is swarming Level 4's and Xyz Summoning. Please tell me if any card(s) is overpowered and I will try to fix them. They are supposed to have somewhat low ATK (except the ones specifically for being a beatstick) though the ATK may not be low enough. I may add more cards, but the archetype seems complete for now.

DrunkenSage69 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Off Topic:[list] [*]Change the title of your other post before the admins lock both of them since this is the main one. [/list] On Topic: This archetype is fairly well constructed. I didn't want to type up a whole lot just because its 2:30 am where I'm at right now but I only have some issues with your cards.[list] [*]On your card "Grand Elder Rat," you have an OCG error in the last sentence. It is not "Level 4 or [b]under[/b]" it should be worded as "Level 4 or [b]lower[/b]." This is the only main OCG error I could find for my first skim through of your archetype. [*]The structure of your card text should be updated to go along with the newer card text format. The main article to look at and review is article 4 but read up on all the arcticles to keep your mind open and fresh (spoiler below): [/list] [spoiler=Problem Solving Card Text][list] [*][url='http://www.konami.com/yugioh/articles/?p=2906']Article 1[/url] [*][url='http://www.konami.com/yugioh/articles/?p=2915']Article 2[/url] [*][url='http://www.konami.com/yugioh/articles/?p=2947']Article 3[/url] [*][url='http://www.konami.com/yugioh/articles/?p=2962']Article 4[/url] [*][url='http://www.konami.com/yugioh/articles/?p=3111']Article 5[/url] [/list] [/spoiler] As of what I have read so far, I like your archetype and I hope that you make more archetypes in the future and enjoy yourself here at YCM.

Galkin Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Rat Seeker: It lets you start off most moves by searching Rat Summoner or letting you go in for Grand Elder Rat for faster swarming. I find it balanced. Chainbasher: By itself I would say it is rather weak, but taking into consideration cards like War Banner and this thing is going to be 1 serious staple. Rat Trooper: Not much to say. I feel the effect is too much for a swarming archtype. It has good ATK to begin with and this archtype can easily have 3 or more Rats at the same time. I mean, summon Centurion and use his effect to summon up to 2 of these, then use the war banner for 2 2700 beatsticks, at worse? Rat Summoner: It's fine due to the cost, one rat for one rat. Rat Chieftain: Now, admittedly, beatsticks aren't as bad as they were before, but Malefics do prove that beatsticking is still nothing to laugh about. I would like to point out you could literally go Chieftain /eff, Summoner /eff, Trooper, into Centurion /eff, double chieftain or trooper (or mix?) for...about 1000 boost to all rats (except chieftain for 500?) Juggernaut: Capable of being a strong beatstick, but requiring sacrifice. It is ok. Rat Assassin: Outclassed for the most part because of everything else the archtype can do. Just run Ratpocalyse instead. Merchant: It isn't bad, but since Rats don't actually benefit from being tributed, you are better off running techs for the deck. Elder Rat: Another swarmer. It is perfectly fine. War Banner: The problem with War Banner is that the archtype can spam the field in 1 turn with monster with decent ATK. Then there are the ones in the Graveyard. It accumulates too quickly and makes any monster you summon a beatstick. Rat's Hunger: Seems slightly outclassed since Rats have huge ATK anyways, but the Special Summoning effect is powerful. Rat's Rebirth: Overpowered cause Centurion makes first turn Karn. Ratpocalypse: Don't know what to say about it, really. How powerful this card is, is really about how powerful the archtype is. You wouldn't really need to use this card. Rat Fiend: No comment Blood Rat: More inclined to potent beatstick...again, same thing with Banner. Centurion: Okay, now THIS thing is broken. It is pretty much what causes other cards to be twice as powerful. You can summon any 2 Rat monsters from your deck while not losing this card, allowing you to make beatsticks and fill that Banner up with incredible amount of ATK bonuses. It can let you spam effects like no tommorow or stack effects. It has absolutely no drawbacks for a +2 that (as you said) combos with Rat's Rebirth to summon Karn, a superpowered boss of practical immunity in 1 turn. Karn: Boss monster, he has the right to be super powerful, but he is too easy to summon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
