Those Who Never Give Up - the Relentless Warriors have come.

[Elia41]

In a world where darkness and evil have  erased all trace of civilization, a small band of fighters mercilessly struggle for survival. They are the Relentless warriors. They never give up. Ever.
 
This ragtag group is made of various characters, but they have a common trait: the more the odds are against them, the stronger they become.

[/spoiler]
 
Warning, this set has exactly 32 cards in it, member, support and anti-support included. I apologize in advance for the grammar mistakes (I did my best, though ,so there shouldn't be too many), and the fact some female pictures look almost naked. They aren't! Their clothes are just a bit revealing or flesh-colored, but there's no nude woman in there! I'll update the list on a daily basis.
 
Now about the archetype: the Relentless monsters are creatures that become stronger the less Life Points you have. That's why there is no effect that makes you recover life. Also, this is a Synchro-based archetype. No Fusion or Xyz in it. Overall, it has mainly a LIGHT and FIRE Attributes, but EARTH monsters aren't uncommon. They are agressive. Very. And hard to deal with since, the more you win against them, the harder they hit. So, your opinion?

 

Edit: I don't think anyone has done it before, but one member liked the archetype enough to make a "fan-card" for it. I found it fitting enough to add it to the set and deeply thank him for it. Here it is:

 

 

Effect: Cannot be Special Summoned. During the End Phase of the turn this card was Normal Summoned or flipped face-up: Return this card to your hand. Once per turn, target 1 face-up card on the field, return it to your hand, then pay 500 Life Points. When you have 1000 or less Life Points, you can target any card for the previous effect. (This is treated as its secondary effect)

 

Now, who said I needed a monster to decrease my Life Points to boost my game speed? Yeah, I like this card.

 

One last thing: I created this archetype for a fanfic I've started. For those who want to see it in play, here you go, right in the chapter.

Cool cards  :) . will you be adding more to this set?

[Elia41]

There are 32 cards in this set. I will add them all, especially since I plan on using the archetype for a fanfic.

[Kiowa Gordon]

Cool idea but you need more cards that work together, that are cohesive. "Relentless Commander" is way too situational. As a commander he should have decent stats on his own so he doesn't have to rely on other warriors. "Crushing Despair" is useless. You want your secondary effects. It's a dead draw and won't have any effect unless it's near the end of the Duel. "Relentless Beast Tamer"s wording needs to be fixed.
"When this card is Normal Summoned and there are no monsters under your control, you can summon a Level 4 or lower monster from your hand. If you have 2500 Life Points or less and possess the right Synchro materials, you can Synchro Summon directly."

It should read as follows, IMO : "When this card is Normal Summoned while you control no other monsters: You can Special Summon 1 level 4 or lower monster from your hand." The part about Synchro Summoning directly doesn't make sense to me. Do you mean you can Synchro from anywhere? Possession is: On the field, the hand, the Graveyard, the Banished Zone and the Main Deck. Otherwise you can Synchro anyway, using monsters you control. control; meaning on the field.

[Elia41]

Thanks for helping me with "Beast Tamer's" wording! Problem corrected, as well as editing the page so presentation takes less room. As for the rest, I think some explanation is in order.

 

"Crushing Despair", "Desecrated Corpse" and "Suicidal Charge" are actually anti-support. I created them as counters to a "Relentless" deck, instead of being supportive. Just to maintain a sort of balance and, in the archetype's theme, they represent the dark forces that want to crush the Relentless Fighters. I won't post "Desecrated Corpse" and "Suicidal Charge" right away.

 

Finally, "Relentless Commander's" effect comes from the fact he is a leader. The more troops he controls, the stronger he becomes, hence the reason their Levels become his ATK points. And what? In a crappy world like theirs, a commander is usually the meanest fighter of the group. Strength means authority, after all.

 

Now, two new cards added: 1 regular monster and 1 Spell card.

[Peridank]

I LOVE THIS IDEA monsters who become stronger when your life points are low... GENIUS! btw can I get a link to your fanfic... I would be happy to read/watch it!

[Elia41]

Update! Added 1 regular monster & 1 Synchro.

[Elia41]

New update! A Synchro, a Monster and a Spell are here.

[Elia41]

New update, and a big one since I haven't updated in a while.

[Elia41]

Update! Anti-support, Synchro and monsters!

[Elia41]

Okay, new update! Only four more monsters to go and the archetype will be complete (2 Effect and 2 Synchros).

[superkid555]

Typically, anti-support cards don't target one specific archtype.

 

Take the card "System Down" for example, it targets machine cards. People usually don't put cards that target a specific in their side decks either.

 

Nice cards though, i like the general idea of the deck.

 

Also, you might want to edit the post as "Relentless Skyblazer"s atk/def/attribute/level isn't showing.

[sasukekun97]

THough a few things don't sound right textwise, Its a great archetype with a unique gimmick.

 

One thing though, Skyblazer has no level or type. Probably a bug when rendering, but you should fix that ;)

 

One thing this deck needs is a card to help get your LP low wnough to use the effects. or maybe a cared that allows them to use the effects whenever. Either way a card is needed to use those secondary effects.

Otherwise, Great archetype!

[ShinkenFlo]

Hi!

First, awesome idea! Love it!
About pyromancer : you should precise that the spell you take back to your hand has to be different from the card you discarded just before, else is can be a free summoning.

then, as sasukekun said, a card to take down your LP and giving you some advantages would be awesome, first because this way you reach the full potential of your monsters quicker, but for the time they don't have their full effects unlocked, but also because it could be a card that prevent their destruction per battle phase if you pay for example a 1000 Lp.

You might also add something to make them a little more cohesive, and agresive, cause in my opinion it could be a pretty slow deck :/

[Elia41]

Set complete, plus two little bonuses! Enjoy! Now, I can start posting my other sets ...
