Unicorn Archetype

[This One Leviathan]

Hello Everyone!

I've decided to make a new support for often overlooked Beast-Type Monsters. In the end, I made the Unicorn archetype. Unicorns are an archetype that primarily relies on DEF and lets you use their attack points for different services, such as regaining Life Points, or having your Unicorns getting even more power.

Enjoy and comment!

Omg unicorns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

The OCG seems... flawless to me

I love unicorns, so i support the theme, and i like the idea of switching up defense and attack

Anything specific though?

Depends on what their Japanese names read out to be.

Former is definite; not sure of the other.

 

(You need to say something related specifically to stuff here, as per AC)

 

Anyway, Eclipse is broken because while both Synchros need to exist, they need to have more than 0 ATK and that just means no triggering Blistering Sun (or use Switcher Horn / Inversion); so essentially you just made a one-sided field nuke for Unicorns. Yeah, not good design. Give it a more substantial requirement to trigger; possibly only use it with both of them retaining their original ATK/DEF + LP payment/card discard or something.

 

You know the card Evilswarm Exciton Knight? Yeah, that card already blows up stuff on its own [including your own], and many of us here treat it as an example of Konami's bad design. Don't be like that.

 

Dark Mist is a bit weak to be honest; assuming a full field, it only gets up to 1950 DEF. Mind you, a lot of common R4s can run over it.

Inversion helps, but not a lot.

 

Road is essentially a RoTA (or more accurately, E - Emergency Call) for "Unicorns".

 

 

 

With that said, think this belongs more in the Traditional area.

this archetype kind reminds me of butterspy to an extent with the battle position changing and the like. its a little bit broken in areas-also skill drain is a thing. this deck would easily be shut down by stall and lockdown decks too- and burins would stomp this into the dirt for days (burins being just an example of a deck that can negate targeting effects and get over atk and def changes and annoying back row that has specific timing requirements.) consider adding a counter trap that can stop reversals like honest, bujins and effect vieler/battlefader
