Damning Devils. A Stealing Archtype.

[lokun489]

Mission Statement

The Damning Devils exist perpetually in an amazing rock concert. Of course such a concert will attract attention, and as such they have the capability to defend themselves.

 

In the process of defending themselves they use the shock and awe of their style to steal from their opponents potential. Removing the cards that your opponent has in their deck and turning it into XYZ material so that way your opponent has fewer cards to use. By attaching it as XYZ material it prevents your opponent from using it from the grave or powering themselves up by it being in the grave. Some things raising their attack high for a powerful time. Very little defense for the archtype as well, but that is intentional. 

 

Monsters

If this card destroys an opponents monster in battle: add the top card of their deck to this card face down as XYZ material.[spoiler]

 

 

Ack, why did some of my formatting take but not all of it?

[Mdoraz]

Megafan is UNsummonable, 12 XYZ material is way too much.  Also you need to make assistant a "Once per turn" effect, because right now she can summon as many as she wants.

Oh damn you're right! I should fix that. Woops. What would be a number that's better than twelve then?

Possibly ways to quickly build Xyz Materials. Maybe use a lower number, but give the Xyz Monsters a way to attach materials. 12 is too much though. If you add 10 with Ghostrick Spoiled Princess, you literally win the duel. Maybe 5 or 6? Maybe rewrite it as:
"This card can only be Xyz Summoned by its own effect. You can Xyz Summon this card using a "Damning Devil" Xyz Monster you control that has 6 or more Xyz Materials attached to it, except "Damning Devil Megafan". (Xyz Materials attached to that monster also become Xyz Materials on this card.) If this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, you can detach 1 face-up Xyz Material from this card to attach the top card of your opponent's deck as an Xyz Material to this card face-down." I almost think it would be hilarious to go with the win condition idea such as "If all the Xyz Materials attached to this card are face-down, you win the Duel." since it's kind of impractical anyways, but as it is I think that would be the best way to go with what you got. There are more things I'll cover in another post, but for now, there's Megafan for ya.

Another thing is that Xyz is never ALLCAPS'd. Overall this is an interesting concept, but to send any judgments on it, I'd need to actually see it being played a few times. That's a problem I have with Multi-card threads but not single cards. TTT's suggested effect sounds like a good way to go from what I'm seeing.

You should adjust the spoiler part of your extra deck cards, and Guitar Master lacks Attribute, Type, Rank and ATK/DEF. Looks like I'm not the only one with that problem ... Otherwise, I know an artist that made several demonic musician pictures ... They're not in your style, but maybe you'd be interested.
