Fortify the Fortress!

[TRUE RULER^(Imper.Di )]

I got bored and thought of a few concepts recently, one which is kinda complex, and one I'm not sure is too different from anything else anyone's created(Fortresses). The object of this strategy is fortifying the "Fortress" (Continuous Trap Card). Basically the Fortress protects your monsters(except from alternative removal) and your life points from battle damage at the price of Fortitude Counters. The monsters provide 2+ counters per turn(1 auto-generated from the fortress, and 1 gen'd by its summon). Each different "Fortress" CT can manipulate the Counters in a different way aside from the regular defense.

 

Cliff Note Version: Generate Counters> extra Summons=more counters Counters=Advantage Continued advantage=Win(eventually)

 

* Currently only creating Main Deck monsters.

 

WORKS WELL WITH: Cat of Ill Omens

 

WEAKNESSES: S/T removal, varied eff negation, Heat Wave, Banishment.

 

 

[Spoiler=Lore]When this card is activated you can activate 1 Continuous Trap Card from your graveyard(it does not need to be Set); its effect(s) become "If a monster you control would be destroyed and/or if you would receive battle damage: you can destroy this card instead."
