martyman321 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 My finished Bird Guardian set. It is based around sending spells and traps from your field to the graveyard to activate monster effects. I made some subtle differences to some wording in monsters texts and also added a few more cards.

Bleaknight Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I like that the archetype has really nice artwork and an original concept. However, your wording has a lot of room for improvement - for example, "you may" is not an official wording term and you used that in nearly all the cards, also all of them need PSCT (Problem-Solving Card Text). I have mixed feelings about the non-Xyz Monsters' effects - they're meant to be a big minus for some good effects, but this "big minus" could often turn into a +0 if not even a +1 or so. They aren't all that strong though so minus and pluses are not that big of an issue here. However, for the Xyz Monsters, they're damn strong, probably broken - Flame of the Bird Guardian's effect, for example, is a +1 at least, and would become a +3 with "Assemble of the Bird Guardian", which you can even use multiple times per turnl, not to mention the other spells. Also, it has 2400 ATK, which is pretty high for a GENERIC Rank 4 monster which produces pluses and also CANNOT BE DESTROYED BY CARD EFFECTS at most times. Damn broken. The exact same applies to Frost of the Bird Guardian - generates just as much pluses, has high stats and also a huge protective effect. Now for the star of the archetype, Bird Guardian - even more broken. The whole effect of Xyz Summoning it over any of the other 2 just means it is a 3 Level 4 Xyz Monster that can be summoned with only 2 materials. It being a Rank 6 is completely pointless, because there's no reason AT ALL to summon it by Chick of the Bird Guardian's effect - you just summon the Rank 4 ones and Bird Guardian over them for an extra material. It also nukes the whole field at nearly no cost while still being this easy to summon and also having 3000 ATK. It's insanely powerful. That's it for the review - very nice artwork, nice concept, poor wording and poorer balance. I'd give it a 6.5/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
