The Fallen Samurais

[Anozariel]

Hello all, Anozariel has arriwed here as well! :)

 

Actually this is my first, very own creation (so if you already has found something similar to this, then please do not sart to blame me for anything.) and i am really proud of it. Right now in the beggining i guess you will find some balance problem, but please do not ignore them, help me to fix it!

 

The Fallen Samurai Archetype has born when i played against a "Zombie World" deck, and as a last chance to win i used up my "Super Polymerizaton" from my hand in the turn of my opponent (OFC), and i fusioned my ("Six Samurai" + "Noble Arms" + "Lightsworn") decks, to change my deck in the half of the duel to my none existing Fallen Samurai deck!!! And OFC i won the duel, and saved the world! (So, /applaud please!!) :P

 

Now, without any joke, i really tried to mix up the above archetypes to create something "fun". So let us see what we have!

And here we go, let me to introduce the newes member of the Fallen Samurai Archetype; Fallen Shogun Shi'ken

 

An archetype, further more a samurai archetype without a Shogun boss card is can not be a real samurai theme. So there it is the real big boss of the Fallen Samurais:

Fallen Footsoldier [Lv2/EARTH/Zombie/Effect] (900/0)

When this card is sent to the Graveyard: Add 1 level 4 or lower "Fallen Samurai" monster from your Deck to your hand.

 

 

EDIT LOG: Today (06/05/2013) I have changed the art of "The Fallen Samurai - Kendrew" and "The Fallen Samurai - Kendyl", further more there it is the newest support of my archetype: "Fallen Footsoldier".

 

P.S: Sorry fo the new post but i cannot upload more image in my main one.

k, first of all, did you do these artworks?! if so, you are OUTSTANDING! Zombies are my favorite archetypes, mostly because of the artwork, and you have done a fantastic job at keeping up-to-par with them!

 

Second of all, I love these cards. Most of them are pretty balanced, but I have to say, if all 3 of your equip cards are attached to the same high-attack monster, it is nearly invincable, and needs to be a bit more ablanced. Maybe you should think about limiting them to 1 "cursed katana" per monster at a time?

 

I know some of your monsters thrive on having more than one, but if you have a 2500 attack monster that can negate ANY spell, trap, OR monster effect, even if it doesnt target?! thats... too strong...

 

Anyway, all in all i love them. GREAT artwork... i was amazed by that if you couldnt tell haha

The cards are not my original handworks, but i've worked with them a lot in PhotoShop, that is the reason why they do look like a set. :)

 

BTW that is true, if a "Fallen Samurai" monster get all the 3 Equip Spell Cards than it is preaty fearful, but there is a lot of restrictions, like: You can only control 1 face-up Cursed Katana - XY and you cannot activate the "Cursed Katana" cards, from your hand; only with mill, or from grave. The only cards what can easily achive the 3 Equip Spell Cards like The Fallen Samurai - Kennan, The Fallen Samurai - Kenyatta are need to destroy 1/or at least 1 Equip Spell Card(s) to active their effects. So i think i've made enough restirctions, but thank you for your opinion! :)
