Armoire Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Introducing the "Delta" archetype. The delta symbol, Δ, is frequently used as a symbol of change, so I based an archetype around it.

sasori191 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I like them. I like the concept and it seems really well put together. Honestly, I'd play this deck if it was real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kovel Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 My only question is that right now, it sounds like they trigger their own effects from summon, no? To me that sounds a bit too powerful. I really want to talk about these cards because I really like them, but that question needs to be clarified first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armoire Posted July 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I like them. I like the concept and it seems really well put together. Honestly, I'd play this deck if it was real. Thank you; I'm glad you like them. If you don't mind, would you tell me what stands out or something that isn't designed too well? Perhaps whether or not something is gamebreaking? My only question is that right now, it sounds like they trigger their own effects from summon, no? To me that sounds a bit too powerful. I really want to talk about these cards because I really like them, but that question needs to be clarified first. Yes, their effects can trigger on their own summon. I wanted to make it so that they can at least activate their effects faster instead of being summoned, not doing anything, and then die the next turn. But I see your point on some of them. I think I'll change it so that some of the more powerful cards change the battle positions of other "Delta" monsters instead of themselves.
