Toothless the Night Fury Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 UPDATE: April 6, 2014 After a few hours well spent, I finally finished recreating the ponies using Judas' HD template, and man! Do they look amazing! Also, I took yesterday to playtest the deck, and made some major changes to improve the speed and reduce the hand-milling down to tolerable levels, including adding the new searcher card. Apparently it was underpowered, which is surprising for YCM. xD The pictures also have all been uploaded to a Imgur album down below instead of posted in the thread, since they are so huge. Thanks guys! Original Post: Alright, alright. I know what you're thinking. "OMG O-NETHER GHEY MLP:FIM DECK!!!!!!11111 YEH, THAT TTOLALLY HSN'T BIN DUN B4!!! BURN IT W/ FIRE! FLAME FLAME BURN BURN RAWR" (Pun intended ^.^) But despite the vast number of MLP-based decks that I've seen over the past couple years, I've been noticing that many of them lack one essential thing that must be in all Yu-Gi-Oh decks: synergy. No offence to the creators, I actually absolutely love a ton of their ideas they put in their decks, but when I really begin to break them down, compared to modern competitive decks like Fire Fist, Dark Worlds, or Geargias, they really don't have the speed, combos, or raw power to counter any of these, OP-effects aside. Deck Mechanics: I also wanted to introduce a frankly, dying deck strategy nowadays, counters (as in, Spell Counters), to construct my deck around. These counters, called "MLP" counters (10/10 creativity :3) are gained by Normal/Special Summoning "MLP" monsters to the field, as well as "The Element of ..." Spell Cards. The counters can be then used to activating each "MLP" monster's effects such as destroying Spells/Traps/monsters, searching, drawing extra cards, and more, requiring players using this deck to plan and invest their counters based on the enemy. Potentially, it can be very flexible to adapt to different decks quickly. If you're familiar with My Little Pony, you also know that the Elements of Harmony are the ponies' most powerful weapon, a combination of 6 attributes such as kindness, honesty, etc.. Each of the Mane 6, the main characters of the show, are assigned to one of those attributes according to their personality. Thus, I added, when a pony has 3 counters on it, and their corresponding element Spell Card is in the Graveyard, you can Tribute the pony and banish the Spell Card from your Grave to Special Summon their "Harmony" form from your Graveyard or Deck. Each "Harmony" upgrade boast higher ATK and DEF, as well as enhanced effects of their previous counterparts. Banishing 2 or more "Harmony" cards also have a final, "secret" effect later in the cards. Just scan through the cards, you're bound to find it. ^.^ So without further ado, here it is. OCG corrections, criticisms on individual cards' effects, criticisms on the deck as a whole, and of course, OP-ness and much required nerfs are greatly appreciated. The harsher, the better. Nothing better to stress a couple points than to, well... stress it. xD I plan to challenge other decks on Duel Portal Online, so I want this to be as fair as possible. ^.^ Special thanks to Zextra's absolutely AMAZING Photoshop templates. Without those, I would've been stuck using the terrible uh, uhm... "simple"... card generator. ^.^ Also, now thanks to Judas' HD templates which I used to recreate v2.0. :D And thanks to the artists whose pictures I've stolen borrowed. Their skill is simply extraordinary, and all of you should really take the time to head down to the bottom and give these guys some credit!

PURPOSE: Main defense from opponent's Spells/Traps x2. Mini-Stardust (except for the ATK :P), for monsters and that doesn't target, at the cost of a couple tokens. [/spoiler] [spoiler="Spells: 9"]MLP - Call of FriendshipSPELL/Continuous/0013Once per turn, if you control a face-up "MLP" monster, you can Normal Summon/Set 1 additional monster to your side of the field. PURPOSE: Extra Monster → Field Presense → Extra Token → More "Harmony" Special Summons and greater speed MLP - The Elements of HarmonySPELL/Quick-Play/0014Activate only if you have 2 or more "Element" cards removed from play, except for "The Elements of Harmony". Special Summon "MLP - Harmony" monsters from your Graveyard, up to the number of "The Element of" Spell cards removed from play as possible. Then, during the End Phase, banish all monsters that were Special Summoned by this effect. This card can only be activated once per Duel. PURPOSE: The ultimate secret/fall-back card for my MLP deck, and very likely a game-changer for the entire outcome of the Duel. High risk/reward, as a simple "Negate Attack" can end the entire Duel and banish the powerhouses for good.MLP - The Tree of HarmonySPELL/Field/0015All "MLP - Harmony" monsters gain 500 ATK and DEF. Once per turn: You can discard 1 card; add 1 "The Element of" or "MLP - The Elements of Harmony" Spell card from your Deck to your hand. When a "MLP - Harmony" monster is Special Summoned: Draw 1 card. PURPOSE: Additional ATK/DEF for the already powerful "Harmony" monsters (which probably calls for a nerf on them?), as well as speed for bringing out the "Harmony" monsters and card advantage. "The Element of" Cards: The following six cards are pretty repetitive, but that is for keeping the deck fast and mobile, instead of depending on chance luck to match 1 monster with 1 card. PURPOSE: Extra tokens lead to more "Harmony" Special Summons and more effects to defend monsters/card advantage. Also, leads to "Harmony" Special Summons (duh :P).

Toothless the Night Fury Posted April 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Really?That's actually pretty funny, because I thought that I had too MANY monsters in my attribute. xD A standard deck list usually has, what, 8 or 9 copies of cards that they use, plus spells and traps? Pushing it with 12 seemed like a bit of a stretch. Nonetheless, I didn't want to spill over with a ton of "MLP" references like Derpy or Lyra, just because it would take a bit of time to make them, as well as finding a place for them to fit in the synergy of the whole deck.

Xi-1 Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Armour for everypony? Hey, what'cha doing for the season 4 finale? Twilight vs Tirek battle, I'm asking. Yes, a pony fought. It was with magic, but it was awesome! I think AJ should have the highest attack because she's the strongest of the Six. Dash is undoubtedly the fastest (except when Twilight has the Tri-Boost). I disagree largely with Fluttershy having higher ATK than DEF because I don't think it suits either per personality or her performance: in normal state (mentally) she never throws a kick, even against the Changelings. She's more defensive, with an incredibly dangerous double-effect (cuteness + The Stare). Thinking of the number of cards in my own MLP set, the Mane 6 alone are sufficient to make their own deck, but then I made them leveling monsters with 2-3 cards each, not even including their Humanizations. If you add the royals, you're getting dangerously close to full, and you still have to support the ponies with spells and traps because they're still weak physically compared to other creatures -- but their abilities are haxed. Especially Twilight, who can turn things into oranges (and that's when she misses her target). EDIT: I've noticed that for your Applejack cards you say the effect is at the cost of attacking, but I don't see anything in the effect to suggest this is true (there's no 'this monster cannot attack on the turn this effect is activated' line). All your monsters can attack and use their effects on the same turn. Also, I believe that being able to destroy a monster card with an effect without restriction as to level or power (ATK/DEF) or type, etc. is a bit on the OP side.
