[I-EUL] Generic Pendulum Trio

[I-EUL] Ecliptic Uranology

Since I love pendulums, and how dragons are better than wyrms atm.


Introduction:
Each of these cards searches another card by simply being sent to the Graveyard, banished, or destroyed, while also shuffling themselves back into the deck in the process. They all have different Left/Right Pendulum Scales, and are designed in a way that you can only Pendulum Summon 1 Level of monsters (either Level 7, or 8 ). They self-destroy themselves if their pair's Scale is not 2 higher/lower than themselves (basically). Also, they are all side-unique, and can be Pendulum Summoned no matter what Pendulum Scales you control, so long as you control any Urano card in the Pendulum Zones.

Play Style:
Search cards by milling Solaris or Eclipse Wyvern through Foolish Burial or Dragon Shrine (Wyvern banish Lunaris). Add either Ecliptic, or 1 missing pair for Solaris-Lunaris pair (this is the only way to Pendulum Summon through this trio btw, Ecliptic simply disallows your Pendulum Summon). Based on your choice, there will be 2 plays available:
  • Ecliptic: Activate Ecliptic, either discarding Solaris/Wyvern, or banishing Lunaris, then add either Lunaris/Solaris. Activate the added card. Now your opponent cannot activate their cards/effects (in anywhere) for this turn, as Ecliptic will self-destruct during the End Phase.
  • Lunaris/Solaris: Just activate the pair from your hand, then Pendulum Summon. You can choose either Level 7 or 8 for the Pendulum Summon, it depends on the pair's placing.
Concepts:
These are the sealed form of 2 Ecliptic monsters and 1 Uranologos monster.
Detailed as:
  • Lunar Ecliptic Seluna -> Lunaris, Uranologos Sealed Angel
  • Solar Ecliptic Apollios -> Solaris, Uranologos Sealed Dragon
  • Eclipse, Uranologos Temporal Lord -> Ecliptic, Sealed Uranologos Lord

If the Pendulum Scale of the other card in your Pendulum Zones is not 6 or 9, destroy this card. If this card in the Pendulum Zone is destroyed: You can banish it. Once per turn, if you control another "Urano" card: You can target 1 monster you control; this turn, that target is treated as a Tuner monster, and if it is an Xyz Monster, its Rank is also treated as its Level.
________________
If you would Pendulum Summon while you control an "Urano" card in your Pendulum Zones, you can ignore this card's Level for that Pendulum Summon. You can only control 1 "Lunaris, Uranologos Sealed Angel". If this card is in face-up Defense Position, decrease its Level by 4. If this card is used for a Synchro Summon, banish it. If this card is banished: You can shuffle it into the Deck, and if you do, add 1 "Urano" monster from your Deck to your hand, except "Lunaris, Uranologos Sealed Angel". You can only use this effect of "Lunaris, Uranologos Sealed Angel" once per turn.

If the Pendulum Scale of the other card in your Pendulum Zones is not 7 or 8, destroy this card. If this card in the Pendulum Zone is destroyed: You can send it to the Graveyard. Once per turn, if you control another "Urano" card: You can target 1 monster you control; if that target is an Xyz Monster, its Rank is also treated as its Level, also increase its Level by up to 4.

If the other card in your Pendulum Zones is an "Uranologos" card, negate the effects of cards in your opponent's possession. Otherwise, destroy this card. If this card is activated: Discard or banish 1 card from your hand, then add 1 "Urano" monster from your Deck to your hand, except "Ecliptic, Sealed Uranologos Lord". You can only use this effect of "Ecliptic, Sealed Uranologos Lord" once per turn. During the End Phase: Banish this card.

If this card is Summoned: Destroy all other cards you control, and if you do, banish cards your opponent controls, up to the number of cards in your Pendulum Zones that were destroyed. During the End Phase: Destroy this card. If this card in your Monster Zone or Pendulum Zone is destroyed: You can shuffle it into the Deck, and if you do, add 1 "Urano" monster from your Deck to your hand, except "Ecliptic, Sealed Uranologos Lord".

[spoiler=Ruling]
  • Lunaris and Solaris' 'When this card in the Pendulum Zone is destroyed:' effects are activated effects.
  • Lunaris and Solaris' effects that treats Xyz Monsters' Ranks as Levels won't remove their Rank. Any further effects that would modify that monster's Level won't modify its Rank. But if its Rank is modified, its Level is also affected. Example: A Rank 4 Xyz Monster will also be treated as a Level 4 monster, but it is still also a Rank 4 monster.
  • The 'If you would Pendulum Summon while you control an "Urano" card in your Pendulum Zones, you can ignore this card's Level for that Pendulum Summon.' effects simply mean that the monster can be Pendulum Summoned regardless of the Pendulum Scales used for the Pendulum Summon, even if those Pendulum Scales won't be able to make any normal Pendulum Summons. Example: You can Pendulum Summon the monster even if the Pendulum Scales are 8 and 9.
  • Ecliptic's 'If this card is activated: ...', 'If this card is Summoned: ...', and 'During the End Phase: ...' effects are mandatory.
  • Ecliptic's 'If this card is activated: ...' effect won't resolve properly if it is destroyed by its own Pendulum effect when you activate it.
  • The 'You can only control 1 ...' effects of these cards include cards in your Pendulum Zones.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Changes]Ecliptic: Nerfed its Pendulum effect from 'During your turn, if you control another "Urano" card, your opponent cannot activate cards or effects. If the other card in your Pendulum Zones is not an "Uranologos" card, destroy this card.' to 'If the other card in your Pendulum Zones is an "Uranologos" card, negate the effects of cards in your opponent's possession. Otherwise, destroy this card.' ● In this Pendulum effect: 'During the End Phase: Destroy this card.', changed destroy to banish. ● Removed this Monster effect: 'During your turn, negate the effects of cards in your opponent's possession.' ● In this Monster effect: 'If this card is Summoned: Destroy all other cards you control, and if you do, destroy cards your opponent controls, up to the number of cards in your Pendulum Zones that were destroyed.', banish opponent's cards instead of destroying them.
Ecliptic: Added 'During your turn,' to its continuous effects. To prevent 100% lock in conjunction with Master Key Beetle.

These are a bit confusing and complicated to me personally, especially as I'm probably missing most of the combos that you can pull off with them. However, I think I can see that the main aim is to get Ecliptic out for an OTK, or just large damage. It does seem weird thought that instead of thinking of ways to use the Pendulum mechanics of going to the Extra Deck, you've designed them to completely avoid that by shuffling and searching. Also not sure why you went through the effort of making Xyz "Rank counts as level" for each of them, or why Ecliptic is a Pendulum, as it means having one and another unaro (why change between "unaro" and "unarologos" in the cards' effects) in your zones means easy OTK pushes: activate it, discard/banish solar or lunar to add, add with his eff, and it can work with Solaris as its scales are 7/8, so you have a constant searchable mini cold wave?

 

(I've confused myself)

 

tl;dr maybe explain the cards' combos more, but overall nice and v. original but v. complex.

Honestly, I haven't tested this. But I think it's either that, or just for this: "You can do anything without getting interrupted with these 2 cards, so long as your opponent doesn't MST either 1 of those cards.".

It does seem weird thought that instead of thinking of ways to use the Pendulum mechanics of going to the Extra Deck, you've designed them to completely avoid that by shuffling and searching.

To avoid them being too abused with Rulers and Eclipse Wyvern.

Also not sure why you went through the effort of making Xyz "Rank counts as level" for each of them,

(why change between "unaro" and "unarologos" in the cards' effects)

This also supports my Uranos archetype (this is the original intention btw), but since it works good by themselves, you got them here. Besides, it's freaking awful to manage 1 post with like, 3 set of cards, so I spread them to different pages. And it somehow will promote good reviews, as it's really easier to deal with multiple pages of short stuffs than dealing with 1 huge page of utter boringness . . .
Also, it is Uranos.

Why Ecliptic is a Pendulum, as it means having one and another unaro in your zones means easy OTK pushes: activate it, discard/banish solar or lunar to add, add with his eff, and it can work with Solaris as its scales are 7/8, so you have a constant searchable mini cold wave?

For 2 cards (most likely), yes. I should nerf it to 'if you control another 2 "Urano" card,' perhaps? As by that, you need the other one to be pendulum summoned.

Sorry for confusing you. :(

tl;dr maybe explain the cards' combos more, but overall nice and v. original but v. complex.

Thanks for your comment. That wall of text is not enough? o.o
