Because Droite's [Dextra for dub viewers] xyz monsters need more support: papilio mage archtype

[I Hate Snatch Steal]

 

When this card is normal summoned: you can send it and 1 card from your hand to the graveyard; xyz summon 1 "Papilloperative" xyz monster or "Photon Alexandra Queen" from your extra deck, using 2 "Papilio Mage" monsters from your graveyard as the xyz materials (ignore any xyz material requirements that monster has).

 

Rulings notes:

- You can activate this card's effect if there are no "Papilio Mage" monsters in your graveyard, but you must send a "Papilio Mage" monster from your hand as the cost to do so. Also, this doesn't apply if a card/effect like macro cosomos is in effect.

 

- You can activate this card's effect if there is exactly 1 "Papilio Mage" monsters in your graveyard, since sending this card will make 2. This doesn't apply if a card/effect like macro cosomos is in effect.

 

- You can summon any monster that meets the requirements of having "Papiloperative" in its name or being named  " Photon Alexandra Queen" , even if it cannot normally be summoned using 2 "Papilio Mage" monsters as xyz materials.

 

 

When this card is normal summoned or flipped face-up: you can reveal 1 "Papilio Mage" monster in your hand; draw 1 card. A "Papilloperative" xyz monster or "Photon Alexandra Queen" that was xyz summoned using this card as an xyz material gains this effect (a monster can only gain the effect of "Papilio Mage Gaia" once).
*When it is xyz summoned: it gains 500 ATK and if it does, its controller draws 1 card. Once per turn it cannot leave the field by a card effect.

 

rulings notes:

- If you use this card as an xyz material via the effect of "Papilio Mage Enigma" or "Papilio Mage Mistress", the summoned xyz monster does gain the listed effect.

- If an xyz monster that has gained this card's effect would be destroyed and the cannot leave the field by an effect is applied, it is treated as if it was not destroyed. For example, If a monster that has gained this card's effect is targeted by number 61: volcasarus, and it doesn't leave the field because of this card's effect, no damage is dealt by the effect of volcasaurus.

Enigma is fine as is.

 

Gaia needs a "This effect can only be activated once per turn." on the effect she grants the Xyz, as +1ing from an Xyz is silly as is. An Xyz (usually for free, as you made this archetype) with a Pot of Greed on Summon is unrealistic and bad card design as a whole.

 

Eruditus should have less than 1800 ATK. It is unoriginal to just stick a +1 on Normal Summon to a strong monster. Look at the Lv. 3 Constellar that has more DEF than ATK and gets the search on Normal Summon. It is still good, still ran, and doesn't just go "Well, NS = needs strong atk!" 1400 would be fine.

 

Yami is fine as is.

 

Mistress is dumb. The easy Summoning requirements make such an effect too powerful for her. Had she required Normal Summon, then it'd be fine, but a ignition Compulsory as well as a random hit on hand is too strong (especially since it says card, not monster). The fact it also triggers the free Summon from either card effect or battle is also bad card design--- a card doesn't have to be super powerful, just powerful enough. The ignition Compulsory/random hand Dustshoot should be upon Normal Summon, if tributing a monster from the archetype. Also, the last should trigger upon destruction, leaving Prison and Compulsory as valid ways to deal with it to avoid such an effect (though, without Gaia, it wouldn't matter, so your choice there).

I didn't know you reviewed archetypes, Therrion. Just kidding! I'm glad you reviewed them so quickly. I've posted some updates, let me know what you think.
