Jirachibi Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 I want to make an archetype based on the Zodiac signs but cant think of a Playing Style for them. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunnoMan Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Well, since they have other zodiac signs they get along with/should stay away from, perhaps make them less about supporting each other, and more about supporting/discouraging certain types/strategies/attributes? Other than that, got nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aix Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 This doesn't belong in this section. However, my idea would be to have a Gladiator Beast style swap and only allow 1 Zodiac monster on the field. It shouldn't be a huge beatstick like Malefics, rather, it should give you some other advantage. Then, just add pretty generic worshippers/priests that search or protect.

Sora1499 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Maybe have each Zodiac get a certain effect depending on which other Zodiac is on the field? Then have searchers, support, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Grunt Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 You could make their effects similar to their meanings? I'm guessing you are referring to the Chinese Zodiac, right?ExampleThe people born in the year of the Snake are supposed to be: Wise, sensual, prudent, purposeful, mendacious.Therefore, the snake zodiac monster could have an effect around some of those traits; such as:wise: something that allows you to rearrange the top cards on your deck.sensual: this monster cannot be targetted or attacked or something like that.etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's referring to the Western Zodiac, but I'm not sure either: Aquarius - the Water Bearer, Pisces - the Fish and etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jirachibi Posted November 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 I decided to make them a swarming type deck where their effects activate depending on how many "Starlight" monsters you control. And yes, i was referring to the Western Zodiac (Pisces, Leo, Etc.). However, i am planning on making a chinese one too at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimmepie Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 When I did this I used personality trait related to the sign and then based the effect on the trait. For example Salmon (from the Native American Zodiac) is Sacrificial so I gave it an effect around tributing itself. If you were to use Gemini from the Western Zodiac I'd suggest making it summon another monster or another gemini and so on. Pick a minor common effect to unify the archetype and then add another effect based on that or another suggestion. Also... does this even go in this forum?

Aix Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 This doesn't go in this forum. All Realistic Cards posts must contain a card. Though you could get around it with a sample card... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mehmani Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 RC is for posting your cards, not discussing potential ideas. Unfortunately, every thread must have some cards in them. I am very pleased at all the feedback people are giving, it's nice to see that RC is a place where ideas can blossom and be freely discussed. So as a result, I have created this thread: http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/293131-card-ideas-and-concepts-discussion-thread-discuss-your-ideas-with-each-other-here/, where you can continue your discussion and open it up for more people to see. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
