[Aix Archetype] League of Superancient 5/5

[Aix]

An extremely powerful Dinosaur-Type archetype that draws from pre-existing support such as Fossil Dig. Reps for reviews.

First of all, a paleontologis is crying right now because of the fact that Sabertooth lays eggs.

That aside, from what I've seen, this archetype's very first few turns will be hell for them. You'll either go -1 to just have a field presence, or playing really passive. The return to hand trio is nice, BUT they'll be really useful only if you have set-up Behemoth. Otherwise, they'll only be used for egglaying. Behemoth, for a quite central card, is too weak to removal(you can use lance for this purpose though).

Also, I wouldn't play Egglord(or maybe I'll play one as a tech), because he just sucks compared to the other monsters. Behemoth do the whole egglaying better, and the trio laid less eggs, but they make up for it by keeping a field presence AND being able to actually run over something. Also, the 'either player's turn' part doesn't do it enough justice, since it'll only go off on your opponent's turn only by using cards like shrink and lance. Only thing good is it's immediate, so it'll be good when it go off. If.

Dinosaurs doesn't really have many good maindecked support(maybe that token producing jurrac, Guaiba, and fossil dig, and that's it), so i guess they can do with more cards to support them. Lance/shrink will be vital in this deck, just like in Guaiba centric decks. Honestly, the best thing going on for this archetype is Soldda, and it's enough reason to play this.

Last note, this deck dies to Susanoo, just saying.

Conclusion, the archetype will be good when they go off, but seeing the current support, I don't really think they can go off consistently/fast enough to be actually threatening. Soldda access is freaking nice though, and with some more support, this can be really, really powerful. Can't rate for now, maybe later.

Ah, but the Sabretooth is part lizard in the picture.

 

Do you think it would be fine if Egglord had more ATK then? What if he could Special Summon as many Egg Tokens as you want?

I think it need more attack. 1600, even with lance backup, is not strong enough these day. 1800-2000 should be great(also I can't see the reason why it needed 2000 DEF). Also, maybe add so that it can generate an egg unconditionally each turn. Egglord deserves a secondary effect like the other monsters.
