Crystal Beasts

[RubberDucky]

This is my favourite archetype, and it pains me to see them ignored by Konami. I gave them what I thought they needed. I wasn't sure if the boss should be a Synchro or Xyz. I'm just rejoining the game and haven't fully accepted that Synchros are less popular now, because when I played they were everywhere XD

You can discard this card to the Graveyard; add 1 "Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins" from your Deck to your hand. If "Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins" is not face-up on the field, send this card to the Graveyard. If this face-up card is destroyed while it is in a Monster Card Zone, you can place it face-up in your Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Continuous Spell Card, instead of sending it to the Graveyard.

 

Basic field searcher. I added the "send to the Graveyard" instead of "destroy" to avoid possibly broken combos where you intentionally summon him without the field card to get a free backrow, but maybe I'll take that out later >:]

During your Main Phase, you can destroy this card and one card your opponent controls. If this face-up card is destroyed while it is in a Monster Card Zone, you can place it face-up in your Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Continuous Spell Card, instead of sending it to the Graveyard.

 

Crystal Beasts need some monster removal badly, and cleverly worded so that you net a backrow card while they lose a card.

If this face-up card is destroyed while it is in a Monster Card Zone, you can place it face-up in your Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Continuous Spell Card, instead of sending it to the Graveyard. While this card is in your Spell & Trap Card Zone, your opponent cannot destroy more than 1 "Crystal Beast" Continuous Spell Card with the same effect.

 

Tunes for the new boss monster, and protects your backrows. Too many times have I been Heavy Storm'd with 3-4 Beasts in my backrow =[ is this guy underpowered?

One of the Synchro Material Monsters used for the Synchro Summon of this card can be a Continuous Spell Card. If this face-up card is destroyed while it is in a Monster Card Zone, you can place it face-up in your Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Continuous Spell Card, instead of sending it to the Graveyard. If your opponent destroys this card in your Spell & Trap Card Zone; Special Summon 1 "Crystal Beast" Monster from your Deck.

 

These guys need a good boss monster. Allows you to Synchro for him no matter where your Crystals are. He also replaces himself when MST'd or Storm'd, which I think will make him worth summoning.
