Fairies - Because I can

[gimmepie]

I saw the pictures used for my first two monster of the arch on Photobucket and the idea just sprang into my head. I'm concerned that they might be slightly over-powered so any input on balancing will be much appreciated. Con/crit and rates welcomed. This is an archetype of cards that not only work very well together in a deck but many could be used as support in other decks such as Lightsworn, Darklord, Dark Counterpart, Agents, Herald and even Chaos (although they already have great chaos potential on their own).

Effect: This card can be special summoned from your hand by tributing one face-up Fairy monster. Once per turn you can negate the activation of a spell or trap card targeting a fairy monster you control and destroy it. When this card destroys an opponents defence position monster: You can add one "Sky-Knight" card other than "Sky-Knight Adriel" to your hand.

Effect: This card can be special summoned from your hand by banishing two Fairy monsters from your graveyard. When this card is Special Summoned you can destroy one Spell or Trap card for each "Sky-Knight" card on the field. When this card destroys a defence position monster you can discard one card from your hand: Send the top card of your opponents deck to the graveyard.

If this card is special summoned by its own effect: You cannot special summon another level five or higher fairy monster this turn. Once per turn you can discard one card: Draw one card, if it is a spell card you can draw once more this turn.

Once per turn you can halve this cards attack until the end of the battle phase: This card can attack your opponent directly this turn. Once per turn you negate the effect of a card that targets a Fairy monster you control and destroy it.

Once per turn you can add one card from your hand to your deck, then, add one "Sky-Knight" card to your hand from your deck and shuffle your deck. If this face-up card would be destroyed by an opponents card effect you can tribute on face up "Sky-Knight" monster: Negate the activation of the cards effect and destroy it.

Effect: As long as this card remains face-up on the field neither player can special summon monsters other than Fairy monsters.


More to come!

First card is well balanced, but OCG could need some work. Spell & Trap, Fairy, Special Summon etc.

Second card, since I don't know if you're gonna make level 4 or lower Sky-Knight monsters this card may become pretty powerful since you can destroy a bunch of cards easily this way. Maybe make it when it gets Summoned instead. Also you fixed a couple of OCG mistakes here, but not all (grumpy)

Third card is very situational, which means that it may be hard to use, and I think that's what made you think, but a simple Dark Hole/Heavy Storm and you can SS a pretty powerful monster. Tough these card gains effect from being SS from hand, the card itself might not be as useful again, so it's kinda 50/50 for me if it's too powerful or not.

Actually they weren't only gaining effects if special summoned by their effects... Do you think that is what I should do because I like the idea?

The trap is almost identical to Starlight Road which not considered OP by anyone I know... and that brings out Stardust Dragon o.O

Edit: Lucifer has been made more balanced. Lailah, Jophiel, Zadkiel, Chaos Lady of the Sky Knights, Prayer to the Sky Knights and Divine Palace added. I have created the boss monster for the archetype but I'm concerned that it is probably OP... I'll post it once I have seen more opinions on the archetype.

[/quote]Well, that targets 1 specific card, you can get any card you want with your trap. Also, I must have misread, I thought it only gained the effect if it was Special Summoned from hand, which makes the card a lot better

[gimmepie]

Would Defenders be better if I made it 3 or more then?

As for the only having effects when special summoned from the hand I have made a few like that and intend to make more.

More cards coming soon.

Edit: Cassiel, Muriel, Dyvinity, A Fairy's Rage (The card itself needs the title fixed) and Judgement of the Sky-Knights added. Defenders of Heavan edited.
