[Field Spell Support] Wandering Lands Archetype *7 cards* *Reps for Reviews*

[Aix]

It lacks Spell/Trap support beyond Field Spells, but that's good enough, I suppose. I rather like this Archetype. It's quite nice and has some cool lockdown abilities. Need to think of a unique way to Special Summon Veteran, which I personally consider is the key card of this Archetype. Anyway, Reps for Reviews!

[hr][spoiler='Monsters (4)'][hr]

While there is a face-up Field Spell Card, this card gains 1000 DEF. You can treat this card as a Level 3. When this card is Summoned: You can activate 1 Field Spell Card from your Deck. When this card is sent to the Graveyard: Shuffle up to 3 Field Spell Cards in your Graveyard into your Deck.

While there is a face-up Field Spell Card, this card gains 500 DEF. Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can shuffle 1 Field Spell Card you control into the Deck and change this card's Battle Position; activate 1 Field Spell Card from your Deck. If this card is destroyed: You can activate 1 Field Spell Card from your Deck.

While you control a Field Spell Card, this card is unaffected by your opponent's card effects. If this card destroys a monster by battle: You can add 1 "Wandering" monster or Field Spell Card from your Deck to your hand. If this card is destroyed: You can activate 1 Field Spell Card from your Deck.

[hr]

Once per turn, while you control a face-up Field Spell Card: You can banish 1 "Wandering" monster from your hand or Graveyard; destroy 1 card on the field, and if you do, banish it instead of sending it to the Graveyard. This card cannot attack the turn you activate this effect. If this card is destroyed: You can activate 1 Field Spell Card from your Deck.

I would say for Land of the Forsaken you might want to change the text where it says "during the end-phase, destroy this card" to "during your opponents next end-phase, destroy this card." This way your opponent has to endure the effect of forsaken at least for one of their turns. I could be mistaken with my interpretation though because you wrote "and if you do" after it, which makes it sound like an optional effect (the destroying at the end-phase part). Anyway neat concept.

No cuz that would be quite broken to have something that restricts your opponent's Special Summons, even for a turn, especially as most Decks rely on their Special Summoned monsters for card removal. The point of this card is to A. be used for the Scrap Dragon-esque effect that doesn't target or B. Be used with Wandering Veteran to lock your opponent down in an almost fair way for a turn and then be used for A.

Okay so Sniper is a little overpowered. It's a +1 that doesn't target and it doesn't destroy so it's hard to dodge. You should make it target for the sake of balance.

 

In Forsaken, where can't the card be added from? You need to specify that.

 

New Dawn does too much. While it gives both players an Extra Card is kills 1/3 of the card pool without so much as lifting a finger. Maybe add a maintenance cost.

[Aix]

Thanks. Okay, I'll make Sniper target. Forsaken simply means that nothing can be added, not from the Graveyard, not from the field, not from anywhere. I suppose New Dawn will have a maintenance cost.

[Bleaknight]

I think making Sniper have an effect like "destroy, and if you do, banish" is better balancing than making it target. After all, it's a Level 4 monster.

I like the deck's idea overall - its monsters seem weak, but at the field spells lies their real strength. I'd just add a couple higher-leveled monsters. I'm not sure how strong this archetype would be, so I'd like to see it in practice before judging.
