Mekanik (18/?)

[Nazryl]

Another re-vamp of a older archetype that I created two years ago. The Mekanik cards depend on dice rolls to either have a high attack or a lower attack with added effect. They depend very much on luck until certain cards are drawn. They are designed to be fun, realistic but not overly competitive.

[spoiler=History of Teal]

According to history books, Teal was created by the gods to become a haven for all life that they gave breath to and life flourished on the rolling green of the land. Humans erected great cities of stone and steel and flourished within their golden walls. But peace did not last. A powerful wizard known as Zembiran rose up with dark magic and began to cover the world in shadow. He marched from city to city, leaving only destruction, fire and death in his wake. His magic stretched across al realms, enslaving creatures of all sizes to his cause, creating a army big enough to reshape Teal into a land of his hatred and malice. 

But life did not surrender easily. 

 

Aklest, the leader of free men gathered all free men to Hundol, the largest city of Teal and from there led the last defence against the evil wizard and his army of shadow. The battle lasted years and millions of living beings lost their lives until Akelst met Zembiran in single combat and cut him down amongst the bloodied field of battle. But darkness does not falter easily; With his last breath Zembiran unleashed a spell that tore the souls of every surviving body on either side and scattered them across Teal and achieving his ultimate goal of destruction. 

 

Thousands of years passed and life began to seep back into Teal once more. Scientists and Mechanics created ways to focus the still roaming souls into vassals known as Duel Monster cards creating groups calling themselves 'Founders' individuals dedicated to seeking out these souls and creating the worlds most powerful cards to become the greatest duellist in the world and earn the King of Games title.

 

These are the cards, these are the cursed souls of Teal. [/spoiler]

 

[spoiler=YuGiOh: Soul Seeker Duellist]

Played by Taka Muzami, best friend and the cautious side of Rae Amara, the Mekanik monsters are the opposite of Taka and require big risks to get the victory when being played. Luckily for Taka, his spirit guide is that of the Peen-Gwin card who, although is a penguin, is a creature of vast intellect and guides the inexperienced duellists in the art of laying such a iconic and important part f Teals survival.   [/spoiler]

I agree with everything "lewis Atherton" said, the cards all work very well together and the card art is one of the best I have ever seen and really fits well with the Archetype. I think you could do with some trap cards though; or at least some more spell cards, maybe one which allows you to re-roll the dice to get a higher ATK for the "Mekanik" monsters.

[Nazryl]

More cards are in the works for Traps, Xyz, Fusion, and more of both Spell and Synchro monsters.

Thanks for the comment :)

Don't like a one word bump, so..

 

More cad are coming over the next few days!

What exactly is the point of "Core Overload"? because really none of your monsters have effects when they are destroyed, so why not just use mirror force instead, even sakaretsu armor would be better than overload.

[Nazryl]

Because overload can get rid of a Mek monster that has had a pretty disastrous dice roll, getting them in the graveyard setting up the effects of Peen or Goo-lum.

Overall, I love the idea behind this archetype. It is rare to see a card that uses  a six sided die in the current TCG; I can only think of two off the top of my head. I also like the fact that they can either have a High Attack, but effectively be a normal monster, or be a slightly weaker monster with a powerful effect. Seems quite solid, maybe a bit OP in some places, but generally balances itself out quite well. If I had one issue with the monsters, it would be How-End; he's a bit powerful for a Lv4. Sure, you have to rely on getting a 4 to balance, and a 5/6 to get better, but his second ability makes him even more powerful that most Lv 5/6's. Combining him with Mekanik Mechanic's effect, you can swarm out 2 more (3D6 (1 from the turn where you brought out Mekanik Mechanic)), and if you chose to bring out Roe-Been and  another, you can then Syncro Summon another Mekanic (Brimming the total up to 4D6), and if the other just happens to be Peen-Guin (I will always smirk at that name), you can bring out another from the grave, bringing it to a minimum of 300 + 500 = 800. So, if you roll five 1's in a row, he remains under-powered, but he can have a total of 1800 + 3000 = 4800, which can easily overpower Lv 8's, and even Rnk 5+'s. But, hey, that relies on a lot of luck, so it's probably me just looking at the best case scenario.

 

But yeah, I would collect these. Love the originality of the set, and love the artwork. Very cohesive. Definitely one of my favorite archetypes on here.

Kinda broken........mainly nite-mare....you have stablilizer, summon nite-mare, reveal 5, get 5 4 results guranteed from stablizier, right there he gets 8000 atk, He is far too powerful of a beater. Maybe make it 300 and get rid of the other effect.

[Nazryl]

@ 0DST - That is a very good point, and although it is very luck based for that to happen, it still can. I'm thinking to combat it, I'll have the card read 'Whenever a Mekanik monster is Normal Summoned' That way, using Mechanic with it is still a legit combo, but can't be abused as much. 

 

@Drago - That is a good point. The synchro monsters are still going though balancing and are only a first draft. Nite-Mare will be changed, perhaps lowering the Attack gain for each result, but the second effect has to stay to give at least some help to cards which have had bad dice rolls/really good dice rolls so the player doesn't automatically lose due to luck.

 

Thank you both for the comments :)

[Nazryl]

Mekanik Dray-gun has been added, having either a high Attack or Self destructing with a lower attack. 

 

Next up are fixes for the Synchro and How-end as well as a set of upgraded monsters taking the Mekaniks into the future...
