Need Help With:

-Trap Pictures for this archetype

-Spell Pictures for this archetype

[goddamnit names are a pain]

It looks good so far. I would lessen the number of XYZ and add more monsters. While the Xyz and Spell card seem cool, I need to get a feel for what makes the deck tick before I can "pass judgement".

With your first 3 (and best three, I really liked the idea you had), I would clarify that you can negate the effect(s) of the card(s) during your opponent's turn, and that you can also negate the activation. Maybe it was just me, but it didn't seem too clear.

[AGATHODAIMON BANGTAIL COW]

The three brothers themselves are pretty lackluster since the non-Xyz monsters of this archetype can only make Rank 6s without any outside help, and Rank 6s have plenty of anti-monster effect cards such as Bounzer and Focus Force. Should you decide to change Pang Tong (and Zhuge Liang, should you make him, oh, and some other mage-y characters who got added since 5) to Spellcaster, your Maindeck monsters would also get access to Norito, who negates Spells and Traps. Plus, their effects rely on each other being on the field, and as said before, this is going to be difficult if your only Maindeck monsters are Level 6. I suggest giving each of the brothers an effect that they can use, with an additional effect should another of the brothers be present on the field.

 

Zhao Yun is pretty nice as an archetype-specific double-attacker. Usually, he will be using this effect on himself since he is the strongest Rank 6 Shu monster, and because he comes with the effect.

 

Ma Chao is spelled wrong. Also, since the only Shu monster worth using his effect on is Jiang Wei (Xyz Monsters don't have Levels, just ranks), it would be pretty difficult for this effect to go off. Also, it strangely ignores the flavor of Xyz Monsters by not requiring a detach for it to work (I suppose you forgotten?). That, and it should require a detach since he can easily pump out damage.

 

Huang Zhong is really lackluster as he has weak ATK for a Rank 6 monster, and his only effect dishes out a somewhat decisive 1300 burn. I really only see him being Summoned only to end the game, rather than actually being used to play it like the likes of Zhao Yun.

 

Pang Tong irks me severely. He looks a lot more like he should be a Spellcaster than a Warrior (but then again, he would open up Norito for a lot of Decks, which probably shouldn't happen), and his moveset (at least in DW 4/5) makes me feel like he should be a WIND monster. Then, you have his horribly low ATK that gets even lower should he be NSed without a Tribute. This could be better off at something like 2200. Also, where does he Special Summon from? The hand makes him suck, the Graveyard is pretty good, though it needs setup, and the Deck would make him seriously amazing to the point where he virtually becomes a Summoner Monk for Level 6s since he can SS another Pang Tong.

 

Jiang Wei is an ok option for pumping out extra ATK and making Xyz plays. I feel like should you expand on the archetype though, he'll become an easily-spammable 2400 body.

 

The Spell is completely winmoar since it is practically impossible to get any of the three brothers on the field, much less three, even much less having them at the same time. Sure, exploding your opponent's entire field is nice, but this card won't help you a bit until then. It becomes dead weight. Finally, when you do use it, the combined ATK of the three brothers exceeds 8000, this card guarantees you victory. I honestly don't like it that much. Perhaps it could be something that helps Summon any of the brothers faster, but not instantly.

 

 

This Deck, obviously, needs a lot more Main Deck cards, especially monsters. Utilize the NPCs well, you know, those guys like Ma Zhong, Mi Zhu, Zhang Ni, Jian Yong, and the sorts. They need to be able to help get you the right archetype monsters and help to make the Xyz Monsters by either helping you to get other monsters into your hand, onto the field, or perhaps even Level adjustment. Don't forget to make more Spells and Traps, so that the entire archetype doesn't get shut down by anti-monster effects like Veiler.

 

 

 

Edit: Hello, Ma Dai. Being a 2k swinger is nice, but unless there's somebody out there who shares his Level gain effect and acts as a Marauding Captain for the archetype, he doesn't really help Summon the bosses all that much. The flavor effect is pretty much just flavorful and isn't going to be the main focus of going into him.

 

Edit 2: Ma Liang could definitely have a bit more ATK. Given he's Level 8, and there's no archetype-specific way of SSing him (yet), he could have some sort of ATK/DEF. The effect would be nice for making Liu Bei, but outside of that, he doesn't seem to be that helpful.

 

Edit 3: Yessss, Wei Yan is a Level 6 Cydra. This allows bosses to be made much more easily than before, and you can even make one without using a Normal Summon using him and Jiang Wei. The ATK is still a little low, but it's not too bad, especially since it has Cydra's effect.

Thanks. I'll get right onto that. I'm only going to do Xyz monsters on the Five Tiger Generals (Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong), Liu Bei, and Zhuge Liang. They were the most important people of Shu.

Thanks for taking the time to write all this. I'll get onto everything you just said. (Spellcaster idea is good.) (Should I change some of the monster's attributes too?)

[AzNPaladin]

This is still a work in process. I'm making more cards. Thanks for the replies though, it helps me a lot. :)

By the way, Ma Dai, when summoned, is already a level 5. (Due to his own effect.)

[goddamnit names are a pain]

Its looking a lot better! Seems interesting. Now we have Ninjas, Samurais, and these guys all to fight each other. Maybe Heroics too.
