Quantum [In-Progress Archetype] (Will Appear in Yu-Gi-Oh!: Quantum Souls)


Guest

Recommended Posts

This topic exists as an archive of the Quantum cards, cards that will be plot relevant to my upcoming fanfic. Not to mention, I am also going to be working on them to make them balanced and usable in competitive play. Since the fanfic has yet to come out, I am also using this thread to build up hype for the archetype when you see it in action. This card seems to be the perfect one to start things off as it showcases the two things you'll find this archetype doing.

[spoiler='The Daily Update Log']MONDAY: And without further ado, I give you the first card. Quantum Seeker.

TUESDAY UPDATE: Hello everyone! I'm glad you're sticking around to see the new cards! Here's today's, Quantum Gatherer.

WEDNESDAY UPDATE: Sorry that this card came pretty much at night. I have a had a really crappy day, but I'm glad I can this before I get to bed. I present to you, Quantum Alchemist.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY UPDATE: I'm really sorry I couldn't post a card yesterday, but get ready for a double update today! I give you card on of the double update, Quantum Anomaly!

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY UPDATE #2: Woo! Time for card two for today's happy happy joy joy extravaganza! I give you, the first Quantum Xyz to be released, Quantum Sorceress!

SUNDAY UPDATE #1: Here we are, the day Quantum Souls is set for release! Today there's gonna three cards released, the third releasing at the same time as the fanfic, so get ready. It all starts with this, Quantum Striker!

SUNDAY UPDATE 2 #2: I'm late(as always with my due dates) but it is out! Go check out the first chapter right now![/spoiler]

The card image isn't showing up for me.

Feels like there's a relation to Photons, given the name and effect. Banishment effects seem good if you're planning to make more based at least partly on quantum theory, and not just using it as an archetype name (but Photons already do that, unfortunately). Just to clarify, the effect that the Xyz monster gains, is it meant to be an additional effect, or does it replace the original effect?

I actually had the idea for these before I had heard of Photons but I know exactly what you mean. I'm using the name for somewhat concept value, but mostly because of what occurs i the story. The effect is like Heroic Challenger - Extra Sword's effect, it adds an effect to the Xyz monster, but the monster still keeps its original effect.

Tried to fix the image. Is it good now? If not, I know of a definite way.

When I think of Quantum, I think of the relation between space and time. I don't particularly know if my thinking with that correlation is correct, but if it is an effect like that would certainly suit it, where you're essentially manipulating space and time to control your cards via Banish and return. It's a very cool concept, I can't wait until your story is up. It will actually be the first story I read on here. Now that I think on it, temporal displacement is the phrase I wanted.

We have a winner. That's partly what was going through my mind when the concept was going through multiple stages. I hope to impress with my story. The Quantum cards will be dealing very heavily on Xyz and Banishing themselves and others. I can't wait to release Wednesday's card. I like what you said, temporal displacement.

Well now, I suppose you could actually make use of the fact that Xyz monsters are made of antimatter. I'm not quite sure how time and space are modeled in quantum mechanics, but antimatter does behave exactly like regular matter traveling backwards in time.

So your "Quantum" cards are the YGO version of Magic the Gathering's "Suspend" mechanic?

[url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Magic:_The_Gathering_keywords#Suspend"]http://en.wikipedia....eywords#Suspend[/url]

Banishing cards (Exile in Magic) to retrieve later or Summon or activate cost for free at the "price" of being delayed through a timejump?

While I never played Magic, I am sure your discription is almost spot on with what I'm going to do. The only difference is that not all of them will gain effects when Banished, rather have effects on the field.

Will you create cards that are powerful and free, but delayed due to being banished first and then activating when the banishment period has ended (like how [b][url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Gold_Sarcophagus"]Gold Sarcophagus[/url][/b] has an search any card in your Deck effect, but delays it by one turn)? You could have it (again like Magic's version) activate the card and then after a certain number of turns, it activates a separate effect of itself.
